“At Starbreeze we strongly believe VR will transform the entertainment industry and the key to this is to deliver the best possible VR experiences to the consumer. With Project StarVR, we are focused on developing the best immersive experiences and technologies in an integrated way. Being an independent publisher, we feel deeply aligned with ITA’s mission to advance the commercialization of VR to consumers by promoting the entire VR industry and its content, hardware, and software providers. We want to contribute to this industry effort, and that’s why we are joining the Immersive Technology Alliance and its VR Council.” – Emmanuel Marquez, CTO, Starbreeze Studios
Starbreeze is an independent creator, publisher and distributor of high quality entertainment products. Starbreeze’s most recent games include PAYDAY 2, the adrenaline fueled bank robbing co-op game and the upcoming survival co-op FPS OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead based on the hit comic series.
Starbreeze is also developing immersive virtual reality experiences by integrating software and hardware in the Project StarVR and the StarVR head mounted display.
Additional members will be formally revealed shortly, but see if you can spot some pleasant surprises. Sure CES is filled with some great hardware and VR options which is a phenomenal starting point. Perhaps the bigger story is that the market really is getting together to pave the way for a long term future. To me, that’s encouraging.
