The Vision Is A Smartphone Free VR Headset


Alcatel has launched a standalone VR headset.  The Vision doesn't require a separate smartphone like Samsung's Gear VR, but has all the guts of a mobile phone built right in. That includes an 8-core CPU, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, Bluetooth, LTE and a suite of sensors including an accelerometer, gyro and proximity sensor. In place of a smartphone screen, there's a pair of 3.8-inch AMOLEDs, each with 1,080 x 1,020, or around 2,160 x 2,040 resolution total. To make the headset balance better, Alcatel elected to put the 3,000 mAH battery on the back pad that should last 3 to 4 hours according to Mashable. Alcatel also unveiled an inexpensive 360-degree camera, the Alcatel 360, that's equipped with dual 210-degree fisheye lenses and comes in rectangular and ball shapes. The Vision is reported to cost $500 to $600. What do you think of the Vision ?
