A New Player
As Focus Taiwan notes, there are plenty of other players in the market that will make join the 2016 Tokyo Games Show. In particular is Micro-Star International Corp., which is a Taiwanese PC brand.
Micro-Star is expected to introduce its own product, the VR One, which the company is dubbing as the lightest VR backpack PC. More important than its portability, however, is that the PC is compatible with the HTC Vive.
Theoretically, the partnership between these two tech companies will provide users with a better VR experience, that will reportedly last for one a half hours per full charge.
The VR One should be ready for purchase by the end of October for about $2,205. However, the device will first hit the Taiwanese market before branching out to other locations.
