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.
