Oculus Rift's Tuscany demo scores unofficial support for Razer Hydra (video)

Fast payday loans For Every One

Oculus Rift’s Tuscany demo was built with a good ol’ fashioned keyboard and mouse setup in mind, but now it’s unofficially scored support for motion controls. Sixense, the outfit behind Razer’s Hydra, has cooked up a custom version of the Italian-themed sample for use with their controller, and it gives gamers a pair of floating hands to pick up and manipulate objects. Originally shown at GDC, the tweaked experience is now up for grabs, and can even be played by those who don’t have a Rift — albeit with just the controller’s perks.

Booting up the retooled package offers users a new 3D menu, giving them options for arm length, crouching, head bobbing and a crosshair. It’s not the first project to combine Rift with Hydra, but it certainly helps illustrate the potential of such a setup. Sixense says it plans to release updates and the source code, and it recommends folks sign up for their project-specific email list and keep an eye on their forums for word on availability. Hit the source links below for the download, or head past the break to catch Road to VR’s hands-on with the Hydra-friendly Tuscan villa.

Razer Edge review

| Author:

It’s a seriously impressive thing, winning the same award twice – for the same product. That’s what Razer managed over the last two years, hoarding accolades at CES for the Project Fiona in 2012 and again for the Edge in 2013.

Razer’s been so lauded because it set out to do something that doesn’t seem possible: cram the power of a gaming PC into the body of a tablet. These two have forever been diametrically opposed, and we’ve taught ourselves that we had to choose between power and portability.

Even as a concept, the Project Fiona looked like a leap in the right direction. Now it’s a product — you can buy the Edge starting at $ 999.99. It is indeed a tablet, and it does indeed have a spec sheet typically reserved for…

Razer enlists Rahul Sood of VoodooPC fame as advisor to its board of directors

Rahul Sood is still keeping busy at Microsoft, but he’s adding yet another role to his resume: advisor to Razer’s board of directors. The VoodooPC founder says he views the gaming-focused firm as the spiritual successor to his PC outfit’s previous work, and Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan effectively considers the feeling mutual. “In fact, it was his work at VoodooPC that inspired us to enter the systems business, and I believe his advice will be invaluable to us here at Razer,” says Tan. In his new capacity, Sood will help guide the company with everything from product development to sales. We can only hope the collaboration leads to more Ferrari tie-ins and good advice when it comes to gaming hardware like the Razer Blade and Razer Edge.

Razer Taps Bing Fund GM And VoodooPC Founder Rahul Sood To Advise Board Of Directors

| Author:

rahulsood

Now that it’s invested time trying to browse the space between churning out PC add-ons and real, honest-to-goodness games computer systems, the people at Razer have actually chosen to need some specialists for guidance. To that end, Razer announced earlier today that it has actually designated entrepreneur and former VoodooPC founder Rahul Sood to function as advisor to the company’s board of directors.

While Sood ’ s recent turns as GM of Microsoft ’ s Bing Fund angel fund/incubator and as head of Microsoft’s brand-new worldwide startups team have a strictly entrepreneurial bent, he’s no stranger to the types of concerns that Razer (and CEO Min-Liang Tan) are dealing with. If anything, he appears like a natural suitable for the job offered his own experience crafting a business from game-centric hardware– his first endeavor, VoodooPC, ran as a high-end games COMPUTER boutique of kinds before being acquired by HP in mid-2006.

His current endeavors have actually taken him away from his roots as a champion of COMPUTER gaming efficiency, but Sood still appears to look at the COMPUTER gaming space with some degree of fondness. In a statement launched by Razer earlier today, Sood noted that he saw the company as “the spiritual successor to [his] previous work at VoodooPC,” a sentiment he initially expressed publicly after investing time with Razer ’ s costly Cutter gaming laptop computer last year.

Frankly, Razer could use a little guidance. After carving out a name for itself as a proprietor of popular games mice and keyboards, it’s relatively newfound zeal for peculiar computers took some by surprise. While the Blade games laptop computer soon got a rabid following for its no-compromise strategy to gaming portables, the business is now looking to make an additional splash with its Razer Edge gaming tablet. Tablets and high-end games are two things that have actually arguably never gone well together, and Sood ’ s experience bringing these kinds of enthusiast devices to market might be a big benefit for Razer.

Razer Naga Hex gets League of Legendsflavored edition, available now for $ 90

You may remember Razer’s Naga Hex mouse from last year, when it was presented as a derivative of Razer’s Naga MMO mouse, albeit with less buttons. You see, the “Hex” part of the name refers to the six buttons embedded along the left side of the mouse, meant for use as hotkeys during action-RPGs. The current Hex retains the exact same pre-owneds as its previous incarnation, however now it’s intended specifically at the approximately 32 million Organization of Legends players worldwide. Naturally, those 6 side buttons are programmable utilizing Razer’s Synapse 2.0 software, and Razer’s appealing 250 clicks per min (that’s rather a great deal of clicking, we’re told). The exact same 5600dpi 3.5 G laser sensor drives the Naga’s precision, which appears lag-free on your display thanks to a thread-wrapped USB wire. Take a better look at Razer’s most current branding effort below, and browse through Razer’s on-line store must you like to snag one for yourself– it’s available now for $ 90, and even comes with a cost-free LoL champion (Tryndamere). Head past the break for all the information, directly from Razer.
