3001 AD, a Virtual Reality (VR) hardware developer that has pioneered tracked Head Mounted Displays and innovative gaming controllers for First Person Shooter games since 1995, has reduced the price of its Trimersion First Person Shooter game accessory.
"Through our strategic partnerships and advances in technology, we can now offer an affordable VR solution to Xbox, Playstation, Game Cube, PC and Mac gamers," says Bob Ladrach, Chief Operating Officer of 3001 AD.
The Trimersion is a direct descendent of VR technology that at one point was only available on exclusive arcade systems in theme parks. Improvements in technology have reduced the cost of manufacturing, creating new markets for home users.
"Players feel like they are actually in the game,” says Ladrach. The view of the game is controlled by the direction you’re looking. Improvements over the past two years of development have come directly from consumer and tester feedback. The Trimersion is the first game accessory that uses a wireless video headset and game controller. With the release of motion tracked controllers for new consoles, the Trimersion is an innovative example of the future of gaming. “There is nothing quite like it,” says Ladrach, “the freedom to move around and not get tangled up in wires, plus the immersive VGA quality displays put you right in the middle of the action.”
The gun controller offers players an intuitive way to move and control an FPS game. Dual triggers nod to the gun designs in paintball and are programmable for games that require more control. On PCs the Trimersion is seen as a mouse and keyboard and on consoles as a dedicated game controller. The Trimersion requires no drivers or setup; it’s a true plug and play solution.
The Trimersion hits retail shelves in latter Q1 at an MSRP of $395. 3001AD also offers excellent wholesale pricing, depending on volume. Trimersion is sure to become a hit!
