VRFocus - ANTVR has launched its Kickstarter campaign for its All-In-One Virtual Reality (VR) Kit, featuring its very own VR headset and a multipurpose controller. The project is looking to raise $200,000 USD before 23rd June 2014 in order to fund development of the kit, which is being made in Beijing, China. The company claims that the kit will work with a range of platforms including PC, Xbox and PlayStation consoles as well as the Android platform and Blu-ray players.

VRFocus - It’s been some time since virtual reality (VR) enthusiasts have heard from ANTVR, the ‘all-in-one’ VR head-mounted display (HMD) that managed to raise over $260,000 USD via a Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign in mid-2014. Part of the appeal of this unique HMD is that it can run on a wide range of devices, including PC and Xbox 360. This week at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) the company behind ANTVR has reconfirmed that the kit will also be compatible with the PlayStation 4, and has even announced to VRFocus that it will be launching on the console with a VR version of first-person horror title P.T..

If I hadn't already played it, I think this would definitely give me a heart attack.
VRFocus - Videogame-focused virtual reality (VR) headset ANTVR has had a long Kickstarter campaign that has seen much attention drawn to it, both from optimistic backers and cautious enthusiasts. Now that campaign has come to a close, with the project far exceeding its initial $200,000 USD goal, raising a total of $260,834 with the help of some 681 backers. The money will help fund the development and production of the all-in-one headset.
wack
It looks interesting. I don't know if the games will look good on this, but I'd be interested in just watching movies on this VR headset, if what they say is true about it looking like IMAX.
Also the windows letting you look down for safety reasons is actually a pretty great idea.
I'm not a Kickstarter fan though, I prefer to see the end product before deciding on a purchase.
Made in Beijing, China? No thanks.
