Open-Source Virtual Reality establishes an open platform for VR gaming — $200 dev kit launches this June

Following Facebook’s $2 billion purchase of Oculus VR and Samsung’s launch of their Gear VR Innovator Edition headset, no one doubts that virtual reality is hot. Isn’t it time that someone started on a standard for VR gaming?

OSVR sets out to be that standard. Gaming hardware company Razer, VR technology company Sensics, and a large group of like-minded industry leaders have come together to create the Open-Source Virtual Reality ecosystem. Announced today during the 2015 International CES, this free, open-source development solution has one goal: to push the VR gaming experience forward. Input device manufacturers Bosch, Virtuix, and LeapMotion are on the list of current supporters of the standard, as are game developers Gearbox Software and Techland, among others.
