Details: “Our assignment was to create a complete headset incorporating electronics, software and mechanics,” says Håkan Ohlgren, CTO at WSI. “GameFace Labs created their proprietary home screen and some very specific software, while WSI implemented an Android port for the NVIDIA platform. We based the design on NVIDIA’s Tegra K1, which is a very capable application processor with superior graphics performance.”

Our Thoughts: It’s been a while since we heard from the Gameface VR team, but it looks like the headset has moved on somewhat in the design. With a new fresh look, it looks as if GameFace Labs has almost finished its first-of-its-kind wireless VR gaming headset with its own built-in computer.
Stats wise it doesn’t seem to have changed which can only be a good thing. If Gameface is concerned with the design look of the Gameface VR V2 it might well mean they are very close to a launch. They hope to get this product out for purchase in early 2016 which does not give them very long. Let’s keep our fingers crossed they will be able to keep that time frame because by then the world should be very VR hungry indeed.
