Were you disappointed by Facebook’s recent acquisition of Oculus VR? Well, get ready to be excited as another VR player enters the arena. True Player Gear has just announced its VR device that will be supported by Unreal Engine, Unity, Havok and CryEngine, and will be compatible with both PC and consoles (both current-gen and next-gen).
True Player Gear’s VR device will pack 1080p OLED screens with 90 degrees FOV, will emulate USB mouse as well as Playstation and Xbox controller schemes.
This new VR device will also feature 2x cameras 1080p, 3 axis 1kHz gyro, 3 axis 4kHz accel and 3 axis magnetometer.
There is no price yet and there is no ETA, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

I think in the next few years, maybe 5 or so, we are going to undergo a VR revolution and not just where gaming is concerned.
I hope you’re right! There are countless uses for VR beyond just playing games.
We’ll see. I think all this devices will be abandoned in the end, like it was before.

This one looks even more interesting than the Oculus,. Compatible with consoles and PC at the same time, and also uses 3 cameras in the front so you can see the “outside” world without having to take off the dispositive which is something that for people like me who plays simulators (like racing simulators and flight simulators) needed for example to see the wheel or the joystics and some other things.
It also looks very very good…but the most important is to be functional and it looks like it is.
Nice find.
PS: Also, what happened with “InfinitEYE”? That one that was being made by french people and supported by Samsung.
Any and all competition to take profits away from Facebook is great in my mind. I can`t stand what that site has done to society. I wish it would just go away and not be replaced.
Finally some with brain ,what facebook has done to the society is horrible ,is like if they have maked people more fake.
If not Facebook then some other company would have arisen. It’s not the company – they’re just giving us what we want – it’s society in general that is sick.
Than God for someone who talks sense! Seriously, Facebook is like the cancer of society and human interaction!
Facebook is just as bad as Twitter, Google+, Tumbler, Pinterest etc.
The 90 needs to be put up to 180 degrees, this is a big deal.
I think the Rift is 110 degrees, which wouldn’t be too bad to start. Project Morpheus is only 90 degrees, though that could increase since the hardware isn’t final.
Ooops typo, I meant to put 100d.
Hell yeah! Here we go….it has begunnnnnnn!
Woo, competition! I’m not sure 1080p will be a great resolution for VR. We need some kind of new ultrawide resoultions. Maybe 2500×1000 or somesuch. We need hardware specifically made for VR.
There wouldn’t be any manufactures that kinds of custom displays.
Samsung could do it. Or Sharp, or Toshiba. It’s not impossible, there just needs to be a VR revolution first.
True once there a more than a handful of companies making these VR units then it shouldn’t be a problem but for now its just a waiting game.
Up that FOV to 110 and I’m interested.
waiting for the madcatz version lol
Sounds too good for be real!!
Heh. Great timing, eh?
Looks like a cheap alternative.
