Linked Brain Inc. (Representative Directors: Koichi Shimizu, Shingo Iwamoto. Address: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. Hereafter, “Linked Brain”) has signed a business agreement with StarVR Corporation (hereafter, “StarVR”) based in Taiwan to develop content for their newest “StarVR® One” head-mounted VR display, which boasts the best viewing angles in the industry.
