Corporate President and CEO Jason Chen of Taiwan’s leading computer maker, Acer, revealed that the IMAX VR Center jointly developed by Acer, IMAX and the well-known Swedish game company Starbreeze AB is likely to come to Taiwan. Though the time remains uncertain, Acer has expressed its hope to IMAX that one of the first 15 cities in the world to possess the IMAX VR Experience Center should include a city in Taiwan in order to let Taiwanese audiences get to experience cinema-class VR soon. The IMAX VR display and experience center has made inroads into Los Angeles, USA, and this first IMAX VR Center in the world uses the Acer-invested StarVR virtual reality headsets only. Shortly after the opening of the Los Angeles location, IMAX is now building Europe’s first VR experience center in Manchester, the UK and plans to open more experience centers in China, Japan, the Middle East and Western Europe and conduct research on consumer experience, pricing models and content. After successfully carrying out the test, the IMAX VR Center will be promoted to cinemas, shopping centers and tourist destinations worldwide. IMAX cooperates with Acer and Starbreeze AB to provide the new-generation VR Head-Mounted Display (HMD), which highlights ultra-high resolution and a wider field of view to enhance consumers’ visual experience. Jason Chen further pointed out that besides the IMAX VR Center, samples of the Acer-manufactured VR HMD are in the process of being sent to more than 60 clients, most of which are from high-end sectors and commercial fields including museums, amusement parks, automobile and aviation industries. The VR HMD has received terrific feedback in the industry. (151G/Mar. 2017)
