We have already told you that several major manufacturers have announced the computers in the form of a shoulder backpack with support for popular VR headsets. This straightforward method solved the problem of dangling wires connecting the VR-helmet and PC. As it turned out recently, these computers will be used not only for video games but also in training and even in the military sphere.
Computer-backpack production company HP has received the name Z VR Backpack (previously, it was known in concept ). The manufacturer created a computer such that it was protected from dust and moisture and meets all the requirements of military training equipment. Inside a sturdy backpack mounted Quad-core Intel Core i7 with vPro and graphics accelerator NVIDIA Quadro P5200 with 16 gigabytes of memory. Computer is compatible with HTC Vive headset, but also supports the Oculus Rift. The backpack is equipped with two batteries: primary and backup. As soon as the main discharge, it can be replaced with a fully charged one, while the backup battery will allow the system to remain active.
If you are interested in the cost of the backpack PC, it is already known and equal to $ 3295. On sale Z VR Backpack will arrive in September. Producers explain such a high cost that such a PC can easily replace a whole design Studio or a military training ground. HP has signed contracts with companies Autodesk, Epic Games, Fusion, HTC, Launch Forth and Technicolor, together with them to develop new software for the promotion of virtual reality in various fields. One of the first projects will be the Mars Home Planet, in which engineers and designers will try to present, to design and depict the future colonization of Mars.
