Archos joins the virtual reality bandwagon with their own RM 100 headset [Mobile 88 Online (Malaysia)]


(Mobile 88 Online (Malaysia) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Archos has just thrown its hat into the ring and is getting into the virtual reality hardware business in November with the just announced Archos VR glasses, which will have an attractively low price of $29.99 (RM98.40) The company states that the glasses are designed to work in combination with any Android smartphone, even iOS and Windows Phone devices, up to six inches in size. It also claim it is compatible with over 100 VR app. It added: With the upcoming ARCHOS Video Player update, users will also enjoy 3D videos in a stereoscopic mode on their mobile, creating the illusion of seating in a 3D movie theatre. Optimum requirements for an immersive experience are a full HD 5? smartphone with quad core processors (or higher) and motion sensors such as an accelerometer and a gyroscope.



Sounds to us like the exact same concept of the Samsung Gear VR, but at a much, much lower price point. Colour us interested.
