Razer OSVR a hackable VR headset

2015-01-06
hi it's Scott's 9 there's a lot of VR at CES this year and razor is diving into the scene to with OS VR this is an attempt at open-source virtual reality what does that mean well this head-mounted display is meant to be interchangeable and kind of hackable so people would buy it for 199 dollars later this year should be able to buy other parts and pieces and swap out displays and and other elements as needed this is compatible with other forms of virtual reality oculus decays to kits linux and android so technically you could run a wire out of this connect the tool each do my belt box and you could connect to other other elements as well this has positional tracking there are other companies that are going to be partnering with this down the road and each individual eyepiece is adjustable which is something that's not all vr headsets have and that's kind of nice to have and there's a 5.5 inch 1080p display that's in here the promise is that down the road you could actually swap out your own parts and maybe if you find one that's higher res and you want to spend up or find a way to do it you could do that there are five screws on top delighted open it up and razor is actually allowing you to check out the parts and the plans online and be able to 3d print your own parts if you feel inspired so VR hackers rejoice o SVR is an attempt to enter that space we'll see how it goes but there's a lot of you are at the show and there are a lot of goggles to put on my face I'm Scott Stein here with razors o SVR
