SEOUL, South Korea,
Jan. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- FXGear
Inc., an industry-leading AR and VR technology enterprise operating
with headquarters in Seoul, S.
Korea, announced today the release of their NOON VR+ mobile virtual
reality headset. NOON VR+ is the next generation of the company's
popular NOON VR headset, currently available at BestBuy and Amazon
in the US and Canada.
First launched in 2015, the NOON VR headset was well received
for its lightweight and compact design that also offered wide
compatibility with iPhones, at a time when competitive headsets
only supported Android devices. NOON VR app's advanced rendering
technology, able to display up to 11k resolution VR experiences,
and its intuitive tap UX also helped to differentiate it from other
mobile VR headsets in the market. NOON VR+ improves on many design
factors to provide users with a better VR experience including eye
protection, improved fit, and increased convenience.
"The new NOON VR+ headset addresses feedback from thousands of
NOON VR customers to meet the demands of everyday use and the most
highly requested features. We are excited to share with our
community the next generation of immersive virtual reality through
mobile devices," said Kwang-Jin
Choi, CEO of FXGear. "As a leading Korean AR/VR company
working to advance both hardware and software, we are dedicated to
spreading a superior mobile VR experience."
NOON VR+ includes the lightweight design and 95° viewing angle
of the first NOON VR, but now incorporates advanced BluTech lenses
to block harmful light rays while reducing eye fatigue, along with
a much more luxurious face padding experience. This new material is
more breathable for extended use, easy to clean, and entirely
replaceable. The outer cover has also been reconfigured from a
detachable style to a fully integrated design. This change enhances
the convenience of detaching and attaching the smartphone while
protecting the lenses from dust and scratches when not in use.
NOON VR+ includes an activation code for the NOON VR App, the
only VR app that provides an intuitive tap-based interface allowing
users to change video contents and settings without removing their
headset. Along with its long list of in-house produced content and
user-uploaded videos, the NOON VR app enables users to watch their
own 2D videos on a virtual IMAX-like, theater-sized screen.
The NOON VR app also recently launched the NOON VR REMOTE
feature. After a quick installation of the NOON VR REMOTE software
on a PC, users can wirelessly stream their PC screen directly to
the NOON VR+ headset. With configurable settings for flat 2D, 180°,
360°, top/bottom, and left/right arranged experiences, users can
define the perfect settings for whatever contents they want to
experience.
FXGear's first generation NOON VR headset was recognized by
BestBuy for its "superior technology and product excellence" and
has earned the European CE (European Integrated Safety
Certification) certification in March of 2015.
NOON VR+ will be available for purchase in-stores and online
starting at the end of January 2017.
