Nokia to Take on Virtual Reality?

E-mail Print PDF

Nokia is the next company to reveal a take on virtual reality, Re/code reports, as the Finnish company hopes to make a consumer electronics comeback following the 2013 mobile device division sale to Microsoft.

Nokia HQApparently the product comes from Nokia Technologies, the advanced product division reportedly also working on licensing the Nokia name to mobile phone makers. So far the unit got to ink one such deal with the N1, the Nokia-branded tablet produced by Taiwan's Foxconn.

Nokia refuses to comment on the Re/code story, but CEO Rajeev Suri mentioned "immersive imaging" as an area of interest at an earlier shareholder meeting.

If this is the case, the company will face a tough VR  arena-- after all, Microsoft, Sony, Samsung, HTC and Facebook are just the biggest names currently working on the technology.
