Som många av er säkert minns så utannonserade Samsung ett Virtual Reality-headset döpt till Gear VR härom veckan. Och att döma utifrån funktioner och prislapp så tycks det vara en smart designad pryl, något som bekräftats av flera utvecklare.
Nu stämmer brittiska Climax in i hyllningskören via en intervju med Develop Online. Där berättar technical director James Sharman detta:
"The experience these devices offer is superior to the first generation Oculus kits that wowed the entire industry. Devices backed by high-end GPU hardware are going to offer a visually richer experience, but this has all the right pieces to give you the sudden feeling of being somewhere else."
Sharman tog också upp det faktum att det är en förhållandevis billig enhet som nyttjar både processorkraft och skärmar från din Samsung-smartphone:
"VR Headsets are not budget peripherals, you need a quality screen and a high precision sensor package which pushes the price of the Rift and Morpheus up. Assuming you have already paid for the phone, the entry cost with Gear VR is going to be much lower. It's easy to see a future where a lot of peoples' first VR experience will be with a device like this and the more headsets out there the easy it will be to justify game development with good support."
