Acer and Starbreeze: joint venture for Virtual Reality

Starbreeze and Acer have recently signed a letter of intent to create a new joint venture that will develop the viewer Virtual Reality StarVR. The subject of research concerns the design, production, promotion, marketing and sale of StarVR viewer in the professional division and in the entertainment industry.

Acer is excited to join forces with Starbreeze to bring to the viewer StarVR market. We are allocating R & D resources across multiple VR ecosystem aspects for a consistent, high-quality experience, while only last month announced Acer desktop and very powerful laptops ready for the Virtual Reality. Starbreeze and Acer share the same goal, to make available quality VR applications, and we look forward to enabling new possibilities with this partnership.

Starbreeze has officially unveiled StarVR display at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in June 2015. The project was carried out following the acquisition of the French company Infinite Eye whereby Starbreeze is in possession of the technology StarVR by integrating into its staff the engineering team that developed the viewer. Starbreeze was subsequently engaged to allow the public to experience firsthand the experience of Virtual Reality announcing the beginning of the current year the Starcade initiative that envisages the creation of VR centers open to the public.

The formalization of the joint venture between Acer and Starbreeze confirms the report released by Digitimes in April under which the Taiwanese manufacturer would currently not interested in the production and marketing of its own VR viewer. The decision to support the activities of Starbreeze is a good way to grasp the opportunities offered by the emerging field of virtual reality, which can give a thrust to the sale of high, no end PCs and portable at the same time, make major investments in the first person in a market segment that is only in its infancy and the development of which is not foreseeable with sufficient certainty.

The Acer partner chosen to more directly probe the field of Virtual Reality shows, at least formally, to have clear ideas on the way forward:

From day one we worked with a clear roadmap for our VR strategy and now we are to achieve one of the first major collaborations that we set out to achieve. The future for StarVR is now established and is extremely exciting.

The StarVR is a VR viewer high-end equipped with Fresnel lenses, dual display of 5.5 "with Quad HD resolution, 210 ° viewing angle and support the tracking position.

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
