HTC VIVE™ and McLaren Racing has collaborated together to design and develop a special edition VIVE Pro McLaren Limited Edition VR headset. It is the first co-created product since the announcement of the partnership between HTC VIVE™ and McLaren Racing in May and this will offer an unparalleled VR racing experience to fans.
Other than the unique design, look and feel, the VIVE Pro McLaren Limited Edition headset will be paired with the new ‘McLaren Garage VR’ experience, a Vive Studio release in cooperation with McLaren, as well as a custom version of ‘RFactor 2’ VR racing that was designed to operate without any additional driving accessories.
McLaren Garage VR experience is a multi-player simulation game where players can be part of the McLaren pit crew and act like one by learning how to complete tire adjustments etc. The experience also includes the ‘Pitstop Challenge’, a multiplayer competitive VR game that allows users to explore McLaren’s latest pit garage in room scale, learn to change a car tire, and take other players on a timed tire change challenge.
Customers purchasing the special edition VIVE Pro McLaren Limited Edition headset from now until January 2019 will go into a draw to win a coveted Papaya Pass courtesy of McLaren. This includes an F1 experience with VIP Paddock access to an international F1 race as a super-guest, a private garage tour, a personal meeting with McLaren drivers, and more.
The Vive Pro McLaren Limited Edition headset will also come with a free six-month subscription on VIVEPORT, where users can exclusively download the McLaren Garage VR experience and customized RFactor2 racing game.
Vive Pro McLaren Limited Edition headset is the official VR device for the McLaren Shadow Project. The finals of the competition will take place at the McLaren Technology Centre on January 14-17, 2019, and all finalists will train and compete using the Vive Pro headset.
With this partnership, HTC Vive and McLaren will offer customers the most immersive McLaren Racing and track experience from the comfort of their own home through VR.
