Razer just jumped into Virtual Reality at CES, and in a big way with it's new self proclaimed "Android of VR" software.



For a little over a year now Oculus Rift has been making headlines with its VR headset leading the game. Now catching up a few other companies are coming out with their own adaptations. Samsung, Avegant and a few other companies have jumped into the fray attempting to put their own hardware on the map.



Razer, not ones to be outdone, took it a step further. Revealing a software and hardware combination of open source virtual reality. A hardware unit much like the Oculus build but much more adaptive and customizable, packaged with a software that aims to standardize all virtual reality.

With over a dozen organizations listed as backers and supporters including Leap Motion and Virtuix, two of the more popular hardware creators in the alternative Virtual Reality scenes. It would seem many important players in the game are ready to get on board with Razer.



The software aims to make designing games for VR use much easier. The goal is to have the developer create the game in the engine of their choice and then allow the software to optimize it for use with OSVR devices. Taking a huge stress off smaller developers trying to stay relevant in a growing future industry.



Razer's Hacker Development Kit is set for launch in June 2015 for the amazing low price of $199.99 USD. Read more on Razer's plans and availability of the HDK here.
