It seems like Oculus Rift (Facebook) and Project Morpheus (Sony´s VR-headset) will get some unexpected company very soon.
Because Razer has been working on their own virtual reality headset (and software) for quite sometime now, and it´s called “OSVR” (Open Source Virtual Reality).
This became publicly known yesterday, thanks to Athene´s video “Razer VR? GET HYPE“.
And Razer´s OSVR headset is said to be set for a summer release this year (in June). In fact, you can already pre-order the OSVR dev-kit via Razer´s homepage for $199,99.
So, what do you guys think? Will Razer stand a chance against Facebook´s “Oculus Rift” and Sony´s “Project Morpheus”?. And will you buy the OSVR headset?
