CES brings us the newest in VR technology

Hands-on with Razer's Hand-Tracking VR - OSVR

http://www.ign.com/videos/2015/01/07/razer-joins-the-vr-party-with-osvr-ces-2015

    This video gives us insight into the Razor OSVR demo at CES this year. The man being interviewed gives us his first impressions of the device and how it compares to previously revealed and developed virtual reality headsets like the Morpheus and Oculous Rift devices. He says the framerate was dropping and was inconsistent, something that the other headsets rarely suffer from, but the amazing handtracking is what he said separated it from the rest. He goes on to say that razor has the same intentions as other developers of VR hardware, to encourage developers, this is not a consumer product.


"Graphically it was a little behind, the frame-rate was chugging a little bit"

" This is for developers, they [Razor] wants to make it cheap easy and affordable so people develop more VR content."

    This video gives you a great first impression and pretty personal account of the reviewers experience, but it would be a little more accurate if he knew the specs of the device. For example, he says that Razor's device is graphically worse than the others when in fact, even if it has frame rate problems, the display is actually equivalent, if not better than the ones of those that he compared it to.

I posted a video below that was uploaded after I made this blog, but I figured I'd put it in if anyone wanted to see a little more objective data about Razor's OSVR and the other amazing stuff at CES.
