StarVR headset takes on Oculus VR's Rift

PanARMENIAN.Net - Oculus VR's Rift headset has some serious competition on its hands following the reveal of Starbreeze Studios' Project StarVR, Digital Spy reports.

StarVR promises to be the most powerful virtual reality device on the market, boasting dual 5.5 inch LCD displays and 5120×1440 resolution.

Other features include 360-degree head-tracking, 130-degree vertical field of vision, and a wide 210-degree horizontal.

Starbreeze - the studio behind the Syndicate reboot - has ambitions to become the first company that manufacturers virtual reality hardware as well as compatible games.

Games based on the firm's Valhalla engine will be published on Steam to support StarVR's launch, but it is yet to be confirmed when consumers will be able to get their hands on it.

The hardware was shown for the first time at E3 2015, running Overkill Software's The Walking Dead.
