Starbreeze Unveils VR Hardware

Starbreeze reveals they are working on their own entry in the presumably emerging market for virtual reality hardware, as GameInformer has first-hand impressions of playing a demo of Starbreeze's upcoming Walking Dead shooter played on a prototype Project StarVR headset. These are being made in cooperation with InfinitEye and the demo also utilized a gun peripheral from Trinity VR based on a concept they once floated on Kickstarter. They note the main differences between what they saw and the VR headsets from Valve and Oculus Rift is that Project StarVR features a 5K display with a 210-degree field of view for enhanced peripheral vision. They mention issues with pixelation and the screendoor effect, but offer reasonably positive impressions of head tracking and aiming, though they note the demo was a rail shooter featuring a character in wheelchair.
