The new Huawei VR headset functions in a similar way to Samsung’s Gear VR allowing you to use the power of your smartphone to immerse yourself in virtual reality games, applications and environments. The new Huawei VR headset supports the two new P9 smartphones and the larger Mate 8 and at launch Huawei will be making available 4000 free movies as well as, 43 games together with over 350 panoramic images as well as 150 panoramic tours to use with a new virtual reality headset.
Specifications for the new Huawei VR headset include a 95-degree field of view and a 20ms low latency together with an anti-blue light filter to protect your eyes. Unfortunately no information on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet by Huawei, but as soon as information comes to light we will keep you updated as always.
