Razer hints at developing its own VR technology

Razer may also be working on virtual reality technology. That can be deduced from a reaction from the CEO of the company to the removal of a version of Minecraft for the Oculus Rift. Razer wants to help Mojang in this area.

Markus ‘Notch’ Persson, the man behind Minecraft, made one of the largest financial contributions to the Oculus Rift’s Kickstarter campaign with $10,000, but plans to bring the game to VR glasses have been scrapped after the Facebook takeover. , the Swede reported earlier. To that announcement from Markus Persson, the Razer CEO responded on Twitter, “Maybe we can help. We’ll be in touch.”

The reaction from Razer director Min-Liang Tan seems to indicate that the company is working on its own VR technology. In recent years, Razer likes to profile itself as an innovative company and already produces a wide range of gaming-oriented hardware such as notebooks, tablets, mice & keyboards, headsets, controllers and more recently wearables.

Despite the popularity of virtual reality, no vr hardware has actually hit the market yet. Sony has announced its Morpheus headset and products from Valve and Oculus are on the way, while Microsoft has also hinted at working on the technology. In addition, ex-Valve employees are working on an augmented reality system called CastAR.
