HTC rolls out Viveport VR and Vive Video user interface updates

HTC announced today at a press event ahead of this week’s Consumer Electronics Show that it’s launching a new browsing experience for its Viveport VR storefront. It’s also rolling out an update for its VR media player Vive Video, including an integration with the video-hosting site Vimeo. Both are available immediately.

Viveport VR riffs on HTC’s Viveport subscription service, which enables users to pay $7 per month for access to five VR titles. It’s a virtual storefront, and in the new version today, users can browse and access room-scale previews of titles. This offers a quick way for users to check out games and other VR experiences without having to commit to purchasing or downloading it.
