210 Degree VR Headset With 5K Display Revealed By 'Payday' Developer Starbreeze
An anonymous reader writes: Starbreeze Studios has taken wraps off of StarVR, a new VR headset with dual displays comprising a 210 degree horizontal field of view with a total resolution of 5120x1440. The headset's origins come from InfinitEye, a company working on a super-wide dual-display headset back in 2013, which went into stealth mode for quite some time before being reborn as StarVR in partnership with Starbreeze Studios. The studio is the developer behind the Payday franchise, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, and now Overkill's The Walking Dead, which will have a VR component utilizing the new headset.
Hi, CTO of Starbreeze here. Khyber's comment revealed an oversight that all of our highly trained engineers somehow missed over the last 12 months of design and testing. How silly of us! We will of course be going back to the drawing board now and redesigning the product to be more efficient, and firing all of the incompetents that led us into this embarrassing snafu.
Khyber, your instantaneous grasp of the subtle details of VR headset design marks you as some kind of prodigy/genius. Please contact our HR department immediately for a job interview; we're understandably quite eager to have you on our team.
