This has got me excited.

Today, Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) announced that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., has introduced a new virtual reality development kit (VRDK) for the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 835 mobile platform. The new Snapdragon VRDK gives developers early access to a VR head mounted display (HMD) built with the Snapdragon 835 mobile platform that is supported by an upgraded VR software development kit (SDK) that works with the HMD.

    • Inertial measurement unit with fast interface Snapdragon 835 integrated sensor core

I'm up for that. Any excuse to rise from the grave and become alive again.

It can be purchased for $300... but it's sold out.
