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.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...
