MergeVR is launching a new line of virtual reality goggles and motion controllers for iOS and Android this fall. The products will be available in the U.S. for $129.
The MergeVR Goggles and are meant to be flexible, yet sturdy enough to be stuffed into a backpack, tossed on the sofa, and taken on the go. The MergeVR controller is a wireless handheld motion controller specifically designed for mobile virtual reality, lets users navigate virtual worlds with the click of a button, as well as enable gameplay and controls. It features a wireless 9 inputs (8 buttons plus a thumbstick) and 9-axis motion controller.
MergeVR is reaching out to game and app developers to build virtual reality experiences that utilize the technology. They are currently working several launch publishers, a number of which are using Unity 3D. Developers can contact MergeVR for more information about its Launch Partners Program.
