Vuzix VR Manager 4 Enables 3D Headtracking
Oxford based Vuzix Corporation, manufacturer of video eyewear, are rather excited as they've announced the long awaited launch of VR Manager 4. The software upgrade will allow Vuzix VR users to create extensions that add 3D stereoscopic video and head tracking support to many Direct X and Open GL applications and games, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Vuzix tell us that Virtual Reality Manager 4 is the first software upgrade to put stereoscopic 3D video and tracker support in the hands of the end-user and gaming community and it means they are no longer reliant on game developers (or Vuzix) to create extensions that allow for head-tracking and 3D gameplay with their favorite titles.

“VR Manager 4 opens the door to immersive gaming in a way never before thought possible“, said Paul Travers, CEO Vuzix Corporation. “Consumers now have the power to decide what games they will play in 3D or with head-tracking and share the applications they create with the world.”

Vuzix’ VR Extensions Exchange will serve as an online community for uploading and downloading both Vuzix and Creator (user generated) Extensions. Community members will receive a free lightshield for uploading a new extension - an actual lightshield?

The VR Manager 4 will begin shipping with all VR compatible Vuzix Eyewear models and can be downloaded for free at www.vuzix.com/downloads.
