In the reporting quarter conference CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has traditionally remained silent as long as analysts invited to the event have not begun to ask questions.
We have heard that AMD will make efforts to create cards that allow to enjoy the work with helmets in a new generation of virtual reality which will cost less than $ 349. As it turns out, Jen-Hsun Huang puts even more ambitious goal - he is confident that virtual reality will work with video card that cost only $ 150 - and not just at a certain satisfactory level, but at excellent.
Actually, he is convinced that even at the price of a few hundred dollars the existing virtual reality helmets make appropriate technology reasonably affordable. Already there is no need to spend on specialized equipment, tens of thousands of dollars. This compared to the purchase of virtual reality helmet and suitable graphics card seems a step available to many more people.
Of course, Jensen Huang admits that the boom of virtual reality in the first place, will help the company to sell more expensive graphics cards. And over time, virtual reality will become more and more affordable, expanding the customer base and increasing revenues, but it is only a remote possibility. By the way, virtual reality will find application not only in home entertainment:, Audi uses this technology for configuring the ordered vehicles in showrooms, and health professions students receive interactive tutorials with the ability to fly through the human body, by studying its anatomy.
