Merlin Digital has launched the new Ridge VR headset onto the regional market. The headset comes with a fully functioning Android PC built into the headset. Commenting on the new launch, Sharad Hiro Bachani, Co-Founder, Merlin Digital said, “Virtual reality (VR) headsets are set to become the biggest trend in wearables this year, with almost every technology giant jumping on the bandwagon. Taking advantage of the scenario, we are pleased to introduce the world’s first virtual reality cordless headset that does not need a computer or a smartphone to power the device. There are no boundaries for VR and Merlin is still exploring the possibilities.”
The Ridge VR is powered by an octa-core CPU and high-end graphics processor. It has a 16GB built-in memory and microSD card support, and runs on Android OS. It comes with a Bluetooth joystick for personal control, head-tracking GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and is priced at $250 (Dh918).
Rohit Bachani, Co-Founder, Merlin Digital, said, “We have created an immersive 3D virtual walk-through, whereby one can browse through movies, videos, and games through an Android PC system that allows one easy access to work and play files.”
