We recently had a chat with Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan and given the company's large interest in VR, more specifically through OSVR, we asked him what he thinks of the current state of VR:

"We are excited about VR. We think it's a huge platform and we are continually investing in VR. The key thing is, and we've seen some great strides for VR in 2016 and we see some great strides 2017 whether it is Oculus or Vive or Daydream or Samsung Gear, etc., I think we're all still waiting for the killer application. We're waiting for that and hopefully that comes about as soon as possible. In the meantime I think gamers are just rooting for VR at this point in time."

Do you see such a killer app coming soon or do you think it will be a while still?

"I think it will be a while still, but I think it's inevitable that it will come. Like all new platforms there's just so many smart people and so much money being invested in this space. We think it's a matter of time, but we are being very patient about it and we are very invested in this space."

A longer interview covering a number of topics with the Razer CEO will be published shortly on the site.
