We are developing a 3D fully immersive Head-Mounted Display with head and body tracking for the PS3/4, Xbox 360/One, PC, Mac and Blu-Ray Movies.

(Thanks Akai__)

At first glance, this doesn't sound like the Ouya of VR. Another serious competitor or what?

Kick start this into the dirt. No thanks.

Woop. What's wrong with it?

â Narayan · Mar 28, 2014

A company that I've never even heard of wants to make a VR HMD. I guess this says something about inevitable ubiquity... and scamming.

WeAreStarStuff · Mar 28, 2014

I only care about another VR setup if it has eye-tracking (someone please do this - I know Sony is considering.)

Monty Mole · Mar 28, 2014

Something off with this. Scam? Fake?

Seems like many are trying to get aboard the VR train....

Yes, lets give money to another startup in order to fund the next big corporation purchase.

Alienous · Mar 28, 2014

Single 1080p OLED? Displaying two images, I hope.

Support for current-gen consoles, and last-gen consoles? Sony's just allowing headsets other than their proprietary one?

Bullshit. Fuck off, True Player Gear.

From Twitter:

We were at the GDC and E3 in 2006, Tokyo Game Show in 2007, you can check, it's public info ;-) VR is hard and takes lots of R&D

We swear, no BS. We bootstrapped for all this time until the technology was mature enough. We kept believing in our dream!

Everyone starts out somewhere. I give 'em the benefit of the doubt, it's not like anyone paid any money yet.

jimbobsmells · Mar 28, 2014

Hdmi input?

ScepticMatt · Mar 28, 2014

No video, little information

I'm at "wait and see"

Techies · Mar 28, 2014

If it was a scam it would not list an event that can prove it's legitimacy.
Just wait till E3

Also it's easy to put, we support everything in text, but the practicality of that is questionable.

Pakoe · Mar 28, 2014

Website looks so sketchy.

FiggyCal · Mar 28, 2014

PS3 and 360 support? lol

I guess we'll see at e3.

StuBurns · Mar 28, 2014

Sony and MS are allowing third party VR headsets?

I do not believe them.

CreeperBlocks · Mar 28, 2014

The VR race begins? This Seems very mysterious,Why the heck would it get last-gen support?.. something fishy going on there.

JaggedSac · Mar 28, 2014

To be fair, they don't mention VR anywhere. This is just a head mounted screen.

Although they do have tracking. Probably just maps to control input though.

Well, it has an HDMI input so technically it works. It's more like a HMD than a VR headset then.

That is right. They also only mention 1 single screen OLED.

Danneee · Mar 28, 2014

So a HMD that emulates the right stick on the controller with a single screen and no left/right separation.
Here comes the low budget VR ripoffs.

Edit: maybe it does 3D. Not that anyone should care.

Out of nowhere. Sounds a bit too ambitious to me. Kick starter? No thanks.

level44 · Mar 28, 2014

Not needed for PS4.

It's literally just a website, a render, and a bunch of bullshit specs. Almost everything about this just screams "scam".

flkraven · Mar 28, 2014

Will Twitter buy this one? Or maybe this is more of Tumblr headset.

VR Wars: The Oculus Clone Wars

Mister_Bubbles · Mar 28, 2014

A quick google brings up this "article" on pocket-lint.com, which reads more like a marketing piece so not quite sure what to make of it.

Oculus Rift might have an altered future now that Facebook is in charge, but gamers need not fear. True Player Gear promises to be a replacement that offers all the awesomeness of the Rift and much more.

The six year old, five employee startup from Montreal in Canada aims to sate the wants and needs of developers who are turning their back on a Facebook-funded Oculus headset.

...

We'll be bringing you more details on the project as soon as we can. This could be the true rival to Sony's Project Morpheus. True Player Gear, in fact.

DieH@rd · Mar 28, 2014

Most interesting thing about this are two integrated cameras on the headset.

mocoworm · Mar 28, 2014

Need more info. Looks ... not real.

Dennis · Mar 28, 2014

NinjaCarrot · Mar 28, 2014

Can I just say, awful name.

styl3s · Mar 28, 2014

The company is real and has been around for like 9 years if that will help some with the worrying.

I need a lot more info before i even get interested however.

Wtf?

bryehn · Mar 28, 2014
