Starbreeze and Acer have today announced that they are joining forces to create a new virtual reality headset called the StarVR. Unfortunately no specifications have been released as yet for the new StarVR headset but a concept image pictured above has been teased.
The latest virtual reality headset to be added to the ever-growing list will be created by both companies who aim to cooperate on its design, manufacturing, promotion and marketing.
Bo Andersson Klint, Starbreeze CEO
Since our launch in June 2015, we have had an amazing start with StarVR. By partnering with Acer we shift gears yet again to firmly position us as the leader in top-end VR experiences. Acer is an excellent, experienced and prominent hardware partner that will accelerate us in realizing and producing a high-definition, high-fidelity VR headset. We’ve been working with a clear roadmap for our VR strategy from day one, and are now about to realize one of the first major collaborations we set out to achieve. The future for StarVR is now set and extremely exciting.
Jason Chen, Acer Corporate President and CEO
Acer is thrilled to join forces with Starbreeze in bringing the StarVR head-mounted display to the market. We are devoting R&D resources across multiple aspects of the VR ecosystem for a coherent and high-quality experience, while just last month Acer announced powerful desktops and notebooks fully-ready for StarVR. Starbreeze and Acer share the same goal of delivering best-in-class VR applications, and we look forward to unlocking new VR possibilities together with this partnership.
As soon more details, specifications and launch dates are announced by the two companies we will keep you up-to-date as always.
