VRFocus - Last week VRFocus reported on Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey stating that virtual reality (VR) headsets with embedded techology that weren’t teathered to hardware was ‘the future’. If that’s the case, then the team at GameFace Labs has been doing some time travelling, as its Android-based, wireless VR headset, GameFace, is already well into development. VRFocus recently spoke to founder and CEO Edward Mason about the upcoming device.
Today’s Evolve in Brighton conference saw virtual reality (VR) take centre stage as a highlight of the event just as it has with a number of international videogame industry show this year. Along with a talk from nDreams’ Patrick O’Luanaigh earlier in the day, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s (SCEE) David Ranyard, London Studio Director, spoke about the strengths of VR and the potential future of the PlayStation 4′s Project Morpheus.
I bet it would be pretty emotional when you're getting chased by a [insert: zombie, monster, etc] in Virtual Reality lol. Immersion is the key that makes all the deference. Personally, I can't wait to see the day when you can have VR experiences in movie theaters. (they already are in talks about this, it shouldn't be too far off, relatively speaking)
Really excited for VR, hopefully we'll hear more soon. Although when Sony comes out with PM I really hope they work with retailers to have a demo station set up in some places like Best Buy, Gamestop. They really need to let people try them out, its somthing you have to experience, I don't think its somthing that most will buy on a whim via word of mouth.
VRFocus - GameFace Labs has today revealed to VRFocus the very first images of the user interface (UI) design for it’s upcoming virtual reality (VR) headset. Unlike the PlayStation 4′s Project Morpheus or the Oculus Rift for PC, GameFace is an untethered VR device which houses the components within it’s closed casing design.
VRFocus - GameFace Labs’ Ed Mason is developing a name for himself in the virtual reality (VR) community. A public figure present at every major event in the VR industry’s calendar, armed with his wireless head-mounted display (HMD) and a sharp suit, Mason has managed to bring his product from obscurity to the forefront of people’s minds when discussing VR. But, as with most modern VR HMDs, the GameFace isn’t available to the public yet. VRFocus recently sat down with Mason to discuss when this might change and in what form we’ll receive the device.
IDK about this I guess its cool but it would really be limited to the household due to it being to large and maybe heavy?? IDK about weight but really cool idea, yet another thing is how many developers will make games for this.
