HTC has been teasing that multiple new virtual reality headsets could be launching at ViveCon, the company's VR conference, this year. Slated to take place virtually this year on May 11, HTC had announced its plan to "[unveil] game-changing VR headsets, software, and platforms to take your experience to another level" at the show. Depending on what's announced, these new VR headsets sound like they could replace a number of options that are currently considered the best VR headsets you can buy.
While ViveCon is expected to be an enterprise-specific conference this year, those following the augmented, virtual, and mixed reality market could see how HTC is advancing the segment with its latest wares and platform to foster more innovation in the VR space. Check it out! |

Though not everyone will agree, when it comes to TVs, there's no such thing as too big. At least, that seems to be the guiding principle behind TCL's new 85-inch Roku TVs, which have been dubbed the XL Collection.
Initially introduced at CES 2021, the XL Collection was formally announced by TCL today. It consists of three models: The entry-level LED 4K HDR version, the step-up QLED-based 4K HDR version, and an OD Zero mini-LED 8K HDR version. All three will be available by the end of the year -- but if you want an early look, check out our full review of the 8K version! |

If you think it's a pain to get cell reception when you visit your relatives in another state, just imagine trying to communicate with people who are at least 40 million miles away and are constantly moving relative to you. That's what we'll have to deal with if we plan to send humans to Mars, when communications won't just be important -- they'll be vital.
To find out how to create a communications network that covers Mars and beyond, and how current systems are being upgraded to meet the challenge of ever-increasing amounts of data, we spoke to two experts who work on NASA's current communications system -- one on the Earth side and one on the Mars side. |

TIPS, TRICKS & TECHNIQUES |
When gaming, the graphics processing unit (GPU) is your best friend. It renders everything you see on-screen, from the user interface to the mountains rising in the distance. It works in tandem with the CPU, but really, it does the bulk of the heavy lifting, so we need to treat it right to keep it happy and running optimally.
Unfortunately, there are many factors taking place within your PC that create a virtual rain cloud hovering over your GPU's performance. But don't fret: Here's how to speed up your graphics card to achieve the best gaming experience possible. |
