Acer Cancelled VR Headset Plans

According to RTVR:
....the company may be more broadly shifting priority away from VR

A real shame, after their involvement with OSVR, then StarVR and now the OjO and the mess that was their WinMR system - wow what a wild ride, lets hope their AR projects do better.

I think this could have competed well with the HP Reverb and I for one am pretty pished off it's being shelved. I'm still hoping HP will improve upon the HP Reverb with added camera's and a better cable. I was looking at this acer VR headset to replace my HP Reverb, but VR is just becoming one big nightmare after another with all these crappy announcements.

Can we have some good news for VR to lighten the way soon? 😄

@RuneSR2 - 2k per eye on a Geforce 1080ti and 2080ti is fine.


Have you tried reviving Stormland? 😉

Oculus Rift CV1, Valve Index & PSVR2, Asus Strix OC RTX™ 3090, i9-10900K (5.3Ghz), 32GB 3200MHz, 16TB SSD

Actually, it's a good thing. A new-born market does not need to be fractured between so many competitors, especially when so many of them are just dipping their toes into it. In fact, it only hurt the market, because all those people who supported the bad competitors just threw money out in the void.
The only ones who are serious about VR are Oculus, HTC and Valve. Anyone else can just get out of the fight.



I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this. I say this because how did Samsung and HP and all the other WMR companies know that Microsoft was going to slow down support for WMR, until they actually slowed it down? Surely these companies wouldn't even of bothered to design and build a VR headset if they weren't serious.

I have short arms and long pockets. I usually wait for a sale before I buy games. That is unless it's a horror game I know I will like 🙂
