Chia-lin Chang added: "Vive is at the top end and in the coming months you will see our plans in terms of mobility and VR. It's not a smartphone that plugs into a headset. It's a different thing. We are a VR company, we have something there." According to Chia-lin Chang, the mysterious VR product will be launched this year.

The project could HTC a gap between expensive high-end VR experiences such as Oculus Rift and Vive and low-cost smartphone solutions such as Gear VR and Google Daydream.
