Early Bigscreen Beyond Pre-orders Slip into Q4 Delivery Window
Bigscreen has announced that its PC VR headset, Bigscreen Beyond, will face delays in production, resulting in shipping dates for initial preorders being pushed later into October and November. Manufacturing bottlenecks have led to slower production rates, with only approximately 25% of the target rate being achieved in some areas. Around 20% of US-based pre-orders will be shipped by next week, with the rest expected to be completed by November. The remaining 80% will take another 2-7 weeks to ship. The company plans to reach full capacity production by November. More recent pre-orders for a Q4 shipment date are still on track. The delays have been caused by various issues, including the loss of important calibration machines in customs and being out of stock of certain IPDs. The company is taking measures to address these bottlenecks, including CEO Darshan Shankar personally remaining on-site at the factories in China for the next month. Despite the delays, the Bigscreen Beyond headset is highly regarded for its lightweight and compact design. For more information, read the full story at Road to VR.
