of innovations at Mobile World Congress 2022, including advancements in 5G 
technology, in-car VR experiences, Location Based Entertainment (LBE), and the 
latest updates to the Viverse, HTC VIVE's place in the metaverse. 

Entering the VIVERSE

Viverse is HTC VIVE's place in the metaverse: a universe of new experiences, 
and a seamless gateway to other VR universes in collaboration with partners 
worldwide.

HTC VIVE showcased new innovations to provide people with the best possible 
experience as they explore the Viverse. These innovations include VIVE Browser, 
a new VR-based web browser, and VIVE Connect, a portal to experiencing and 
traversing the Viverse. The company also debuted VIVE Guardian – a new tool 
which gives parents, guardians and teachers control over what young people can 
see and do in VR.

"VIVERSE is the next chapter of our VIVE Reality vision. VIVE is our brand and 
means 'life', and Verse refers to the chapters of life. Viverse provides 
seamless experiences, reachable on any device, anywhere, and is enabled by the 
virtual and augmented reality, high-speed connectivity, AI, and blockchain 
technologies that HTC has invested in for several years. We invite partners to 
join us on this fantastic journey to the internet of presence," said Cher Wang, 
Co-Founder and Chairwoman at HTC.

Powered by Reign

Together with its subsidiary G Reigns and partner Supermicro, HTC built a 
low-latency 5G network which powered live demos at HTC's booth. In one demo, 
guests steered radio-controlled cars around a small race track in real-time 
over 5G, leveraging HTC's compact, portable, 5G product Reign Core.

Going for a holoride

HTC VIVE and holoride are working together to bring VR entertainment to car 
passengers by leveraging VIVE Flow VR glasses and holoride's innovative 
immersive technology platform. holoride's technology matches VR content with 
real-time motion, location and navigational data from the vehicle. Combined 
with VIVE Flow, HTC's lightweight and compact VR glasses, holoride is ideal for 
entertaining passengers on their journeys. Guests at MWC were able to 
experience holoride's in-car VR in a ride around Barcelona.

Playing Together in VR

HTC VIVE also demoed the latest in Location Based Entertainment (LBE) from 
Yullbe Go / Europa Park, with an onsite experience allowing five players 
wearing VIVE Focus 3 to roam the same map, interact, and game together.
