"Look out Toronto, we're unleashing our walkers! Taking our StarVR HMD on the road the past few months have been a blast. It's great to see the awesome reactions that people have had while experiencing our Overkill's The Walking Dead VR-demo in full 210-degree field of view. "It's a true testament to how our technology immerses the players to provide the best experience possible," said Guillaume Gouraud, Senior Vice-President of Business Development for StarVR.
