The LG VR console prototype was unveiled at the GDC conference, boasting features reminiscent of Valve tracking technology used in HTC Vive. However, LG’s development introduces numerous enhancements that VR developers are eager to explore. Operating at an impressive 90 frames per second, this frame rate aligns with Microsoft’s MR mixed reality headwear system.

Key Specifications of LG VR Console:

– Display: LG OLED

– Size: 3.64 inches (diagonal measurement)

– Refresh rate: 90 Hz

– Field of view: 110 degrees

The official debut of the LG head prototype is scheduled for the weekend, during which partners will determine the launch date. LG representatives remain discreet about the specific consumer version release date, assuring consumers and developers of forthcoming announcements later this year.

The LG VR prototype offers a unique experience, equipped with Valve tracking base station technology akin to the HTC Vive. The author’s 6-minute trial included three 2-minute scenes, featuring a game named “Longbow” by Valve and Firebird. Initial feedback notes a slightly snug fit when wearing the new headset.

According to LG’s research assistant engineer, Richard Taylor, “The pricing of the LG VR headset will be on par with other contemporaries. However, the final version may undergo changes based on consumer feedback. I can confidently say that the end product will feature an improved display and a significantly lighter design for an enhanced virtual reality experience.”
