GameFace Labs may Have Occulus Rift Killer


GameFace Labs may very well be the furthest along in the quest to create a mobile VR headset. Based on Android, GameFace Labs has been working hard to iterate on their prototypes, their latest is the first VR headset (mobile or tethered) to include a 2.5K display, with 78% more pixels than 1080p based VR headsets like the Oculus Rift DK2.

If you ever see a tall guy dressed in a suit, strapping a white VR headset to every face he can find, you’ve almost certainly stumbled upon GameFace Labs CEO, Ed Mason. You’ll know for sure when you hear the U.K. accent.

Every trade show I’ve been to in the last 6 months has had one consistent factor—Mason hustling the venue with seemingly unstoppable energy. With two of the company’s unmistakable white GameFace prototypes, he prowls the shows, spreading the good word of mobile VR. And he has good reason; GameFace Labs may very well be the furthest along in the quest to create a truly useable mobile VR headset.
