The move comes at a time when the Acer approved the results of the first three months of the year, some interesting figures for investors – a drop of 73% in earnings and an impressive decline in revenue overall, for minimum ten years due to the slowdown in demand in the computer market. Still, it remained profitable despite the shortfall of 29 million dollars due to currency fluctuations.
But the slowdown in the PC market is a trend that will not reverse, maturity in the smartphone market explains the stagnation of the number, and perhaps for this reason Acer is looking to the future. In a statement published during the weekend, the Asian brand and Starbreeze report that will collaborate in the design, manufacture, promotion and appliance sales, StarVR.
“Acer is an excellent hardware partner, prominent and experienced, we will accelerate the realization and production of virtual reality goggles high-definition and high-fidelity, “says Bo Andersson Klint , CEO of Starbreeze. This is a startup that produces immersive experience of virtual reality.
On the side of Acer, President and CEO Jason Chen said that the company will devote resources to research and development for various areas of virtual reality ecosystem. The idea is to create a “consistent experience and high quality.”
The source of StarVR project is the experiment launched by Starbreeze in June last year for the videogame fair in Los Angeles E3, after acquisition of the French company Infinite Eye. After the release, the virtual reality experience was taken to the road. Also this week, Starbreeze premiered at the Cannes Film Festival his first cinematic experience in RV, “Cockatoo Spritz”, directed by Stephane Barbato.
Still, the two companies stressed in the statement that a final agreement yet It must be signed, formalizing the joint venture that will have to be approved by the boards of directors.
