HTC has teased that it is working on another virtual reality headset with a different design to the HTC Vive, Digital Spy reports.

Marketing executive Idris Mootee has shared images of a mystery head-mounted wearable that he describes as the company's "secret weapon".

The device has a sleeker design to HTC and Valve Corporation's Vive, taking the form of a futuristic-looking visor.

However, it is possible that the Vive is due to undergo a design change before its consumer release, with the teasers depicting a revised model.

HTC is yet to confirm when the headset will break cover as Mootee's social media post simply lists it as "coming soon".

Earlier today (April 2), HTC announced a reworked version of its HTC One M8 phone called the One M8s, which will serve as a budget alternative to the One M9.
