What if I told you that VR was about to get a massive upgrade? In recent news Acer has just invested $5 million USD into a VR company called Starbreeze a Swedish company, making Acer the primary partner.

Here is how Starbreeze describes itself:

Aiming to be the leading solutions provider of B2B Virtual Reality services, StarVR Corporation innovates the head-mounted display market through its 210-degree, 5K resolution VR headset. StarVR Corporation is a joint venture between Swedish entertainment content creator, publisher and innovator Starbreeze Studios, and Acer, one of the world's top ICT companies with presence in over 160 countries.

If Acer wants to be the majority partner in this little VR company it must be because they see big potential in not only VR but also the work that Starbreeze has done already up to this point.

Do you think VR will be increasingly common in modern society? What applications do you see VR could be easily adapted for?

Lets get this discussion going!
