The StarVR headset features dual 5.5-inch QHD displays is aimed towards arcades and theme parks
Acer has joined and Starbreeze to develop a high-end virtual reality headset called StarVR, which is aimed towards arcades and theme parks. The two companies will work together to design, manufacture, promote the headset. Unlike other virtual reality headsets such as the Oculus Rift, which have a 110 degree field of view, the StarVR offers a 210 degree field of view. The headset also features positional tracking and dual 5.5-inch QHD displays for a total resolution of 5120 x 1440 pixels.
Jason Chen, Acer Corporate President and CEO said in a statement, “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.” Starbreeze launched StarVR at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in 2015. In January 2016, Starbreeze unveiled its StarCade initiative, which includes setting up of VR centers where customers will be able to experience the headset.
