The Vive Pro bundle is now available in North America now, and it’s a little bit cheaper here than in Japan. American customers can now order the package for $1,399.

HTC also revealed further details about the Vive Advantage commercial versions.

“Enterprise VR is transforming the way businesses operate and interact with their employees and customers. We are bringing the market a premium VR experience with a high-resolution display, integrated audio and the best components available today in a headset,” said Daniel O’Brien, GM U.S., Vive in a prepared statement for the press release. “Vive Pro offers an immediate upgrade for businesses that want to utilize the most innovative technology to optimize their business and streamline their processes.”

The new base stations support a wider field of view than the original model and track slightly larger volumes. The original Vive supports up to 15′ by 15′ of trackable space. A pair of the new base stations cover up to 19.6 x 19.6′, but you can add another two base stations for a maximum of 32.8 x 32.8′. HTC Japan isn’t yet selling additional base stations, and the company didn’t say how much the base stations would cost.

The motion controllers that come with the Vive Pro bundle are just updated Vive wands with new sensors, not the coveted Valve Knuckles controllers. We still don’t have any information about Valve’s Knuckles release schedule.
