Samsung has unveiled a virtual reality rig designed for use with Windows PCs.<\/p>\n
HMD Odyssey joins previously announced VR headsets and hand controllers from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer and Asus to form the launch hardware line-up for Microsoft’s new Mixed Reality platform.<\/p>\n
Unlike earlier PC-based VR kit, the new products are able to track their wearers’ movements in a room without requiring additional external sensors.<\/p>\n
But experts have questioned whether the market will support so many brands.<\/p>\n
Until now, HTC’s Vive and Facebook’s Oculus Rift have had most of the market in high-end PC-based VR headsets to themselves.<\/p>\n
But the two firms had only sold a combined total of just over one million headsets by the end of June,\u00a0according to SuperData Research.<\/p>\n
