ASUS today announced ASUS Beyond VR Ready for testing its current products to ensure compatibility with VR headsets and its accessories. ASUS has worked closely with leading industry partners as its motherboards and graphics cards are reliably compatible with the latest VR headsets and accessories.
According to ASUS, the testing and configuration program involved ASUS and partner engineers cooperating on the optimization of firmware and drivers for superior VR compatibility and performance — and the creation of the ASUS Beyond VR Ready logo indicates products tested to deliver a reliable and immersive VR experience. The Beyond VR Ready badge will be applied to ASUS products already tested for compatibility with the Oculus Rift virtual-reality (VR) headset and will include other VR headsets like the HTC Vive once they arrive in the market.
With the Beyond VR Ready initiative, ASUS is publishing a list of components tested for compatibility with Oculus Rift and expanding to include VR products like the HTC Vive in the near future. The VR Ready model list will be updated regularly to account for the introduction of new ASUS products and VR gear and accessories from leading industry partners as stated by ASUS in its press release.
Consumers interested in building or buying a VR-compatible PC should visit the Beyond VR Ready website. A selection of recommended components for casual to the ultimate VR experience is included. Beyond VR Ready website also includes a list of ASUS PCs that are ready-made for an immersive VR experience.
Starting now, VR-capable ASUS products will carry a Beyond VR Ready logo — an at-a-glance recommendation that the product is suitable for VR based systems.
