Oppo could be entering the virtual reality headset market

Guess who’s planning the join the nascent VR market? That would be Oppo, which according to G4Games plans to compete with the likes of Samsung and Carl Zeiss, as well as Google’s own Cardboard project. The information, in case you wonder, comes straight from the horse’s mouth, Oppo’s official Weibo account, where we caught a photo of one of the company’s employees wearing a VR headset adorned with the “Oppo” logo.

Since the beginning of the week, the Oppo N3 made it in the headlines almost every day. It all began on Monday when the first official render depicting the device was published by Oppo themselves, and the story continued even further when the company’s CEO revealed several new details regarding he N3′s primary shooter and its capabilities. A couple of days ago the smartphone’s “smart rotating camera” was also demoed on video, so it’s pretty obvious that the manufacturer intends to keep the fire burning until the smartphone will make its official appearance later this month.
