I'm van Ackerman here taking a look at one of the more interesting PC accessories at CES that is the HP zvr of course the VR stands for virtual reality this is a 24-inch monitor that sits on a big stand you can tilt it back at different angles it's got this big kind of arch over the top and then arch contains four cameras that track your head position you put on a pair of passive 3d glasses and then all of a sudden you're in this virtual reality world HP calls it blended reality and you use an included stylus to manipulate objects in 3d in real time having used a lot of virtual reality devices I did like that the the 10 control really felt very real time the thing you don't always get with these systems this is intended for educational use they want you to be able to take the pen for example and dissect a frog or examine a molecule or a set of gears I like that you could pick things up and flip them around completely backwards to get a 360 degree view of an object again something you don't see with a lot of virtual reality headsets out there the Z VR will be out in the second quarter of 2015 but we do not have a price yet I bet it will not be inexpensive however I'm Dan Akron and that is the HP z vr
