HTC is taking virtual reality in a new direction today with the portable Vive Flow immersive glasses. The Vive Flow looks more like compact and lightweight augmented reality glasses, but it has a wrap-around cloth barrier that creates your own personal VR enclosure.

As such, the glasses are a kind of hybrid between AR and VR, and they’re meant to be worn for a longer time so that people can use them to find moments to relax, refresh, and restore.
