Virtual reality headsets are becoming huge business, but Sony and Facebook certainly are not the only organizations seeking to grab a piece of that pie now that Samsung is stated to be planing a answer for its own smartphones and tablets.
Engadget nowadays reported that Samsung is vying to turn into the newest consumer electronics company staking claim to the virtual reality market with a headset that ties neatly into subsequent -generation Galaxy devices.
According to unnamed developers who have managed to get an early peek at the peripheral, the project is separate from the so- called "Galaxy Glass" wearable, and a lot more along the lines of the Android-powered GameFace Labs prototype.
The similar sources claim Samsung is racing ahead at complete steam with the intention of at least announcing the VR headset sometime this year, presumably obtaining a jump on competitors including Sony's Project Morpheus and Facebook-owned Oculus Rift.
Priced to compete
Insiders claim Samsung's headset provides an OLED screen described as " great or far better than" that of the most current Oculus Rift developer kit, while particulars on specifically how the device connects to Galaxy products is unknown, but a wired connection appears to be a fantastic assumption.
Samsung apparently plans to target its VR peripheral at Android gamers, though the report notes that massive -name titles absolutely won't operate as direct ports without having a complete lot of effort.
The Korean manufacturer appears willing to blast onto the virtual reality scene with aggressive pricing stated to undercut rivals, although there's no indication the gadget will be dirt affordable.
Final but not least, developers claim Samsung is using something other than its own Tizen OS to power the headset, but for now the company has delivered a commonly blunt "Samsung does not comment on rumor and speculation" in response to inquiries attempting to dig up additional details on the project.
