It looks like Razer wants to get into the VR game too.

That article is partially accurate.

OSVR doesn't belong to Razer, and it isn't a Razer product. OSVR is Open Source Virtual Reality. Razer is just one of the big names supporting it, including Unity, Intel, Unreal, Leapmotion and many more. Because it's Open Source, you can actually 3D print parts to build your own Dev Kit headset on OSVR's specs. Razer will just be the first company to make and sell a complete OSVR Dev Kit.

I made a post in Announcements with OSVR's "What is OSVR?" video and a link to osvr.com, but it hasn't been approved by an admin yet so its not showing up.

It's up, thanks! We're definitely in a full blown race to consumer VR at this point. It looks like everyone is trying to claim a piece of the pie while they can. Exciting!

Does anyone else think the voice over work done in the Vid Technik posted about OSVR sounds a lot like T ?

My first thought when I started watching the video was "oh no, now what has he gotten us into."

Sounds like I missed out on a gig!
