Taipei, TaiwanMay 31, 2016 CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW)The race for virtual reality is on, led by VR headset and camera manufacturers and online video sites like YouTube. This major wave is creating demand for new consumer PCs, content and software tools. Over the next several months, CyberLink will upgrade its entire line of video playback and editing software to support VR and 360-degree content, and to maintain its market leadership. True to its vision, the company will ensure it brings solutions that are feature-rich, easy to use and affordable.

"Virtual reality is a tidal wave that is quickly gaining momentum with the entire tech industry and, most importantly, with consumers,” said Dr. Jau Huang, Chairman and CEO of CyberLink. “The critical factors that will cause the wave to rise and peak are mass consumer adoption and the resulting creation and sharing of user generated content on a large scale. That's where CyberLink comes in."
