VRFocus - GameFace Labs has today revealed to VRFocus the very first images of the user interface (UI) design for it’s upcoming virtual reality (VR) headset. Unlike the PlayStation 4′s Project Morpheus or the Oculus Rift for PC, GameFace is an untethered VR device which houses the components within it’s closed casing design.
Today’s Evolve in Brighton conference saw virtual reality (VR) take centre stage as a highlight of the event just as it has with a number of international videogame industry show this year. Along with a talk from nDreams’ Patrick O’Luanaigh earlier in the day, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s (SCEE) David Ranyard, London Studio Director, spoke about the strengths of VR and the potential future of the PlayStation 4′s Project Morpheus.
I bet it would be pretty emotional when you're getting chased by a [insert: zombie, monster, etc] in Virtual Reality lol. Immersion is the key that makes all the deference. Personally, I can't wait to see the day when you can have VR experiences in movie theaters. (they already are in talks about this, it shouldn't be too far off, relatively speaking)
Really excited for VR, hopefully we'll hear more soon. Although when Sony comes out with PM I really hope they work with retailers to have a demo station set up in some places like Best Buy, Gamestop. They really need to let people try them out, its somthing you have to experience, I don't think its somthing that most will buy on a whim via word of mouth.
VRFocus - GameFace Labs’ Ed Mason is developing a name for himself in the virtual reality (VR) community. A public figure present at every major event in the VR industry’s calendar, armed with his wireless head-mounted display (HMD) and a sharp suit, Mason has managed to bring his product from obscurity to the forefront of people’s minds when discussing VR. But, as with most modern VR HMDs, the GameFace isn’t available to the public yet. VRFocus recently sat down with Mason to discuss when this might change and in what form we’ll receive the device.
VRFocus - GameFace Labs, the company behind the wireless, Android-based GameFace virtual reality (VR) has said that it believes the technology needs to be wireless and feature a minimum of a 2.5K resolution 'from day one'. Company CEO Edward Mason said as much to VRFocus in an interview at last month's Silicon Valley Virtual Reality (SVVR) Conference & Expo. Speaking about the headset's 2.5K panel, added in the Mark IV prototype, Mason reasoned that anything below this standard would 'lose the immersion'.
