90° away from watching movies in bed: Storm Mirror 4 is a piece of chicken ribs with two pieces of meat hanging on it

A few days ago, there was a piece of news that was quite interesting. It said that a QQ group owner invited group members to dinner. It was agreed that they would pay for the meal on their own, but when it came time to pay the bill, everyone ran away, which made it hard for the group owner who had organized everyone to come out. Some people said that this was a classic scene of going from virtual to reality and then returning to virtual from reality. Of course, this incident itself has nothing to do with virtual reality, but recently I finally had the opportunity to experience real virtual reality up close - Baofeng Magic Mirror 4 allowed me to simulate the scene of a movie theater at home.

Appearance

This is the packaging box.

Open like this.

This is how it is combined.

Then there is a remote control like this.

First you need a 6Plus

I used Baofeng Mojing 4 for iPhone Gold Edition. Before using it, you must first have an iPhone 6 Plus. My iPhone 6s is too thin to fit into the card slot. Although the manual states that iPhone 6 can also be embedded with a protective case, there is no protective case provided, so I had to borrow my colleague's iPhone 6 Plus to experience it.

Download Storm Sunglasses

Before using it, you must first download the software "Baofeng Magic Mirror" from the App Store. We will use this software to experience it.

The above is the software interface. You can connect directly by turning on Bluetooth. The operation is very simple. Place the phone horizontally to enter the following interface: The remote control uses two No. 7 batteries. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. When the indicator light flashes, it means it starts working.

Click the Start button to enter the main interface. This is the three-dimensional world. The first thing that comes into view is two giant stone statues holding up stars. Being here, it feels like you are suddenly isolated from the outside world and detached from reality.

The author experienced several functions in turn, including panoramic photos, panoramic videos, panoramic roaming, etc.

Lonely movie theater

In addition to simulating 3D pictures and 3D scenes, Baofeng Magic Mirror also provides a 3D cinema-like effect, making users feel like they are in a movie theater. Unfortunately, this is a very lonely movie theater. Except for the users themselves, all the seats are empty, which makes people feel lonely.

Are you dizzy?

Overall, apart from the initial surprise, there is more of a feeling of "Oh, that's it". Of course, different people have different feelings when wearing it. For example, I am used to playing various 3D games, and I am familiar with it, and I didn't feel any dizziness or discomfort in my head. However, after experiencing it, my colleague said, "It feels like motion sickness." I asked several other people, and they all said that they felt dizzy to varying degrees.

So, I checked the data and found:

When the VR experience achieves the desired effect, the visual input of the virtual world is connected with the input of the vestibular and proprioceptive systems in the real world, and the user will have an extraordinary experience without any discomfort.

It seems that there is a certain distance between this virtual world and the real world.

There is no need to talk about the advantages. In addition to better cost control and the ability to watch with glasses, it also has many outstanding features such as foresight, foresight and foresight. The following are some of the shortcomings that the author felt during the experience, listed for your reference:

1. Thanks to the application of gravity sensing, you can forget about watching movies while lying in bed - because the movie only exists right in front of you.

2. In panoramic roaming, the user's movement or displacement cannot be recognized, which means that the user can only stand in the set location and walk around, or look down and up.

3. It does not have a telescope function, but can zoom in or out.

4. Poor interaction and inconvenient touch. When the phone receives a notification or message, it will occupy the screen. If you want to turn off the notification, you can only hold the phone.

5. Power hog. Within 5 minutes of opening the app, the iPhone's battery power dropped by more than 5%, which means that the battery power was consumed at a rate of more than 1% per minute. This shows that the computing power of the app is also relatively large.

6. There is room for improvement in the aesthetics of the interface.

7. There are no headphones in the standard configuration. At first, I thought the headband had the function of headphones, but when playing videos, the headband will take over the audio playback function of the phone. However, it turns out that I was overthinking it.

8. The compatibility range is narrow. This model only supports iPhone 6 Plus. Other mobile phones have poor experience and need to be held by hand because they are not tightly fitted. Similar products such as Gear VR have a buckle to hold the phone in place, so there is no need to worry about it falling.

Android

After trying out the iPhone 6 Plus, I suddenly wondered if I could embed an Android phone of similar size into the device. So I borrowed my colleague's HTC E9+ to test it.

First, calibrate the gyroscope.

The Android application interface is much more beautiful than the iOS interface and has a more technological feel.

Pairing failed.

After downloading the Android version of Baofeng Mojing, the adaptation was not successful, but the software itself can be run, and the experience is not much different from that of iPhone. What surprised me is that in addition to the functions mentioned above, the Android version can also download VR games from the VR market, so I downloaded a game called "Happy Parkour" for a trial, and after opening it, I entered the following interface:

It seems that the remote control failed to adapt and I couldn't choose to enter the game experience. I had to exit silently.
