So AMD has decided to enter into the virtual arena with their own offering...
This headset is both VR and AR, with:
- Self-contained processing and storage (AMD FX-8800P chip with Radeon R7 graphics, 8GB of memory, and 256GB solid-state drive (SSD)
- Spatial Resolution: 2,560 x 1,440 dual OLED Display (as apposed to 2160 x 1200, for the Vive and Rift)
- Temporal Resolution: 90Hz (same as Vive and Rift)
- Windows 10 Pre-installed
- 110-degree field of view (FOV)

Initial Pro: Wireless
Initial Con: A somewhat compromised, "console-quality" experience, due to relatively limited processing power, when compared to the other high-end PC compatible offerings from Oculus and HTC.
Since it is both a VR and AR device, it can produce a "mixed-reality" experience...as demonstrated below:
