Alienware Helps Zero Latency Bring VR To Life, The Way It Was Meant To Be


Alienware have joined forces with Melbourne based group Zero Latency to help deliver a Virtual Reality experience like never before, completely portable VR.



Zero Latency are based in Melbourne and have spent a lot of time attempting to bring VR into the world in the way it should be played, in motion, but they kept coming up against some hurdles that were harder to over come than they thought. Then they thought they would reach out to one the pioneers in compact computer design, Alienware.

“We tried building our own backpack computers in the past but they didn’t give us the compact power and performance the Alienware Alpha platform delivers. Alienware is the final piece in the platform we have developed and now we’re ready to showcase our brand new gaming platform to the world,” said Tim Ruse, director, Zero Latency VR.

Zero Latency is the only multiplayer full freedom wireless virtual reality experience and uses the latest advances in virtual reality to provide players with an unrivalled level of immersion. Players will use custom built gun controllers along with a backpack that houses the lightweight Alienware Alpha – all connected to a VR Headset.

“When we were approached by Zero Latency in February 2015, we knew it would be a perfect fit. We always aim to push the boundaries and provide gamers with the best experience possible and partnering with Zero Latency gives them the opportunity to experience the next era of gaming,” said Jeff Morris, general manager end user computing Dell Australia and New Zealand.
Featuring Co-op gameplay, players will be tasked with dragging the world back from the brink of destruction as they pit themselves against hordes of the undead or rebel raiders, racing to restore order.

If you are keen to try this experience for yourself, then you can get your tickets here, the experience will begin August 15th
