Game maker Starbreeze is getting a little help from Acer to build a VR headset.

The company on Sunday announced a joint venture with Acer to "cooperate on the design, manufacturing, promotion, marketing and sales" of the StarVR head-mounted display.

Unveiled at last summer's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the StarVR promises to expand the typical 180-degree view to cover more than 75 percent of a human's sight line. It also includes Fresnel lenses and a dual 5.5-inch quad-HD panel for 5,120-by-1,440 pixels per eye.

But don't expect to pick one up from your local electronics store. The brainchild of French firm InfinitEye (now known as Starbreeze Paris, after the Swedish content creator acquired it in 2015), StarVR is intended to be used at places like amusement parks, large-scale arcades, bowling alleys, casinos, and movie theaters.

Starbreeze touted Acer as an "experienced and prominent hardware partner" that will help it make the StarVR a reality. Acer, meanwhile, promised research and development (R&D) resources "across multiple aspects of the VR ecosystem" to establish a "coherent and high-quality experience," according to company head Jason Chen, who reminded consumers that Acer recently announced new StarVR-ready computers.

Still in its infancy, the virtual reality headset may one day power an entire arena of gamers: Starbreeze in January announced plans to open a Los Angeles-based arcade hall, where anyone can enjoy premium VR trials without plunking down the cash for an at-home device.

The start-up this week also premiered its first cinematic VR experience, Cockatoo Spritz by Stéphone Barbato, at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

Acer and Starbreeze's joint venture remains subject to approval by each company's board.
