Russian start-up DEUS has unveiled a new virtual
reality headset in the form of the Odin Pre, and OpenVR compatible headset
offering dual 2,160 × 2,160 LCD displays clocked at 90 Hz. The new VR headset
is also equipped with Fresnel lenses and is capable of providing users with a
field-of-view of around 110 degrees in line with VR headsets already available
such as the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive and more recent Vive Pro. Although the
Odin Pre offers a higher resolution than the already available VR headsets from
Oculus and HTC.
DEUS ship the virtual reality headset with the Horus
Pre basestation which has been designed in-house and is capable of covering an
area up to 200 square meters with only two base stations with its 170 degree
horizontal and vertical tracking angles, says the company. Users can also
benefit from the ability to add “an unlimited number of base stations and local
multiplayer support allows you to scale the tracking zone, including indoors
with corridors.”
The virtual reality headset also supports its own
DEUS SDK and the OpenVR SDK enabling developers to start creating straight out
of the box. As more information is announced in the coming months we will keep
you up-to-date with developments. Unfortunately, no information on pricing or
worldwide availability has been released as yet.
