More than seven years ago, a Canadian hardware firm teased a virtual-reality headset for Xbox 360. It has now resurfaced just days after Facebook acquired the leader in VR.
The company is True Player Gear, and its virtual-reality headset looks a lot like the competition from Oculus VR and Sony. The unnamed device straps to a player’s face and presents them with a 1080p OLED display that takes up a 90-degree field of view. It will also work with Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Mac, according to True Player Gear president Bertrand Nepveu. The Montreal-based technology company first teased its VR unit during the 2007 Electronic Entertainment Expo, but it never emerged as a consumer product. Now that Facebook has dropped $2 billion to purchase Oculus VR — makers of the Oculus Rift VR helmet — True Player Gear is back on the scene to talk about all of the things its hardware can do.
