ASUS and Gigabyte working on VR products

Posted on Thursday, December 24 2015 @ 14:22 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck

ASUS and Gigabyte are expected to release VR products in the first half of 2016. DigiTimes claims ASUS plans to launch VR devices for use in combination with its high-end graphics cards, and heard Gigabyte is working on a product with VR tech designer 3Glasses. Not a lot of details are known though.

As demand for notebooks is likely to stay weak in 2016, notebook brand vendors and related upstream suppliers have been aggressively seeking new business opportunities and are looking to VR as a main hardware development direction for gaming notebooks.

Asustek's and Gigabyte's VR products are expected to be released in the first half of 2016, but the companies declined to comment on their plans.
