VR Education Holdings plc
('VR Education' or the 'Group')
Apollo 11 VR selected as a launch title on new Oculus Quest
VR Education (AIM: VRE; Euronext Growth: 6VR), a leading virtual
reality ('VR') technology company focused on the education space,
is pleased to announce that the Group's award-winning showcase
experience, Apollo 11 VR, has been selected by Facebook to be a
launch title on the Oculus Quest headset which launches globally
today.
The Oculus Quest is Facebook's new all-in-one, untethered
virtual reality headset aimed at providing high-end virtual reality
technology at an affordable cost (EUR399) to a large number of
consumers, without the need for expensive high-end PCs.
David Whelan, CEO of VR Education, said:
"We expect the Oculus Quest to be extremely popular globally and
for this platform to quickly become the most used VR device,
enticing many new users to jump onboard. As Apollo 11 VR was one of
the most popular VR applications when it was released over three
years ago it makes complete sense to release an updated version of
the application on the Oculus Quest, providing the Apollo 11
showcase experience to people new to VR. 2019 is also the 50(th)
Anniversary of the moon landing and we expect to see strong demand
for this title through the year."
Apollo 11 VR on the Oculus Quest is retailing for EUR9.99 and is
available on the Oculus Quest store from launch.
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes
of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.
