ASUS VR headset spotted at Computex 2016

The big ASUS announcements at Computex 2016 in Taiwan revolve around the ZenFone and the ZenBook. But spotted on the showroom floor are VR headsets the Taiwanese brand didn’t even mention. It seems to be built to go against the Samsung Gear VR but it has a nicer leather strap reminiscent of the ZenWatch and shiny metal-like body. It’s said to be coming next year but not much is known about it. The VR headset is 5.7 inches wide diagonally and is speculated to fit the newly launched ZenFone 3 devices.

Like the Gear VR, it has a touchpad and buttons on the side. And as Gizmodo points out, it looks like ZTE’s own VR headset, which is being made with Google’s Daydream VR platform. We can’t help but wonder if this VR is being developed for said platform. We have to wait a while to find out more about this mysterious VR headset.

Coca-Cola takes a stab at making a VR headset

The focus these days seems to be on virtual reality. Coca-Cola is cashing in on the trend with their take of it. As seen in the video above, they’re toying around with the idea of turning the 12-pack box the soda bottles come in to become your personal VR headset. If you’re up for it, you can even try building it on your own using that video or even Google’s own instructions.

Google reportedly working on VR OS and new headset

There seems to be more coming from Google when it comes to the virtual reality front. According to Financial Times, Google is working on a more VR-friendly version of its Android operating system as well as developing a new headset that could rival the likes of the Gear VR. We know Google already has Cardboard but that US$10 VR headset can use an upgrade. The supposed new VR headset will also allow you to slide your Android phone in but will have extra sensors to give a more responsive and immersive experience for its user.

At least two of Google's top designers are working on their VR efforts. These include the design department now run by former head of Search Jon Wiley and Joshua To, who is design lead for the company's app design. We're excited to see what their work will produce. The new headset is said to be coming around September or possibly even later than that.
