VRFocus - Following the debut of its head-mounted display at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles last month, Cmoar Ltd. is getting back to gamers and cinema fans with a brand new Kickstarter campaign. Originally launched a few days ago, Cmoar has since gone back to the drawing board and readdressed the rewards tiers, stretch goals and even the ultimate funding target.
VRFocus - Cmoar’s Smartphone Viewer is soon to enter its last week of Kickstarter funding. The company hopes to raise £60,000 GBP by 14th August 2014 in order to fund development of the device, which uses a smartphone screen for viewing both video and videogames in 2D and 3D, creating a VR effect for videogames. In fact, it’s even possible to stream titles from either PC or console to create makeshift VR versions of high-end experiences.
VRFocus - Cmoar Ltd. this week re-launched their Kickstarter campaign for the Cmoar Smartphone Viewer with significantly reduced targets and goals. The crowdfunding campaign was originally intended to go live last month however, and the team behind the device are obviously well aware of the hurdles they’ve faced. Talking with VRFocus Cmoar Ltd. offer more information on the device and their efforts to promote it’s funding campaign.
VRFocus - The Kickstarter campaign for Cmoar's Personal Smartphone Viewer virtual reality (VR) headset remains ongoing, but that hasn't stopped the company from releasing its VR Cinema app on Android for people to get an early look at. The app, simply named Cmoar VR Virtual Cinema, is available to download for free and can be used with a range of smartphones, though is designed to work with high-end devices for the most part.
Regardless of the relative quality of this product, I have to say that CMOAR is an awful name. Is their logo a lolcat?
It is great to see other companies pursuing VR/AR though it could be difficult to compete against the likes of Rift and Morpheus. I wish them all success.
