[[StarVR]], formerly known as '''InfinitEye''', is a [[virtual reality]] [[HMD]] with a horizontal [[FOV]] of 210 degrees. Developed by [[Starbreeze]] with the former InfinitEye team, StarVR's 5120 x 1440 display is the largest in [[Virtual Reality#Devices|VR HMDs]]. On software side, StarVR will utilize the [[OpenVR]] platform developed by [[Steam]] and the game engine [[Valhalla]]. | [[StarVR]], formerly known as '''InfinitEye''', is a [[virtual reality]] [[HMD]] with a horizontal [[FOV]] of 210 degrees.

While most HMDs have FOVs of about 100° x 100°, StarVR has an FOV of 210° x 130°. The 210° horizontal FOV covers the entire vision, including all of the peripheral vision, of a human. Utilizing the large FOV and Fresnel lenses, unprecedented [[immersion]] can be achieved. The HMD features 6[[DOF]] tracking with [[IMU]]s for [[rotational tracking]] and external optical camera for [[positional tracking]]. It will use fiducial marks to track not only the HMD but also other devices such as controllers. | While most HMDs have FOVs of about 100° x 100°, StarVR has an FOV of 210° x 130°.
