How to choose a satisfactory VR device?
|
VR is like a big wave rushing towards the public, and several celebrity VR devices have also announced their prices recently. With the launch of this wave of VR hardware, more and more ordinary consumers will begin to come into contact with this technology. So the question is, if you happen to be a follower of the technology wave and are preparing to purchase a VR device as soon as possible, and there happen to be some VR devices on the market that we can buy, I recommend you to read this article. Google Cardboard This is a very entry-level device, and the overall product design and structure are extremely simple, but this does not prevent it from having some high-quality content, allowing some mobile phone users to easily enjoy VR technology. It was also after this product was launched two years ago that it had a number of "paper box" imitators. For example, the domestic mobile phone manufacturer Meizu once launched a paper box VR with a third-party manufacturer, and catering companies such as McDonald's also launched a similar activity - using a paper box to form a VR device. Therefore, this type of equipment does have a far-reaching impact. Not only does it allow more people to experience this technology, but it has also become a standard gift for major companies to promote VR technology . For example, subscribing to the New York Times may give you a Cardboard to let you experience the latest VR news; game manufacturers have also made some attempts; even the pornography industry in the underground market is eager to try, launching activities such as subscription content and free Cardboard. The price is entry-level, so the experience can only be mediocre; since there are no I/O devices attached, many games are only at the "video" level, and the video viewing experience can only rely on the mobile phone hardware screen, and the product itself cannot adjust the pupil distance, and some users will feel uncomfortable after wearing it for a while. Samsung Gear VR Many mobile VRs generally support most mobile phones on the market (as long as they can be put into the box), but there are also alternatives. Samsung Gear VR is similar to Google Cardboar in many aspects (viewing methods, technology, etc.), but the difference is that Gear VR can only "closedly" support several flagship and sub-flagship mobile phones of its own. But the good thing is that since Gear VR only supports its own mobile phones, there are some breakthroughs in interaction and control experience . Samsung Gear VR has many built-in sensors (such as distance sensors), which can detect whether the user is wearing the device and automatically pause/play content; there are some input control buttons on the right side, which can easily control the content displayed on the phone (no need to take out the phone-and then buckle it). It is worth mentioning that the content of Gear VR is also very excellent. On the one hand, Gear VR already has a lot of VR content, and on the other hand, Oculus Support also strongly endorses this device. Recently, there are also some reports showing that many bosses have purchased a large number of Gear VRs to open VR cinemas to provide paid experiences to the public, and their business is good. Even at the launch of Samsung Galaxy S7, Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook behind Oculus, also stood up for it and shouted: The VR era has arrived. Gear VR is compatible with the following Samsung phones: Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge+, Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. Connected VR (Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PlayStation VR) If the previous VR devices are just for beginners, then the rich should look at the following mid-to-high-end devices. The biggest difference is that there is a further breakthrough in the interactive experience. For example, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlayStation VR, PlayStation VR has an external interactive controller, Oculus Rift has an external controller and a camera to capture user movements, and HTC Vive allows users to walk around a room and capture the user's body movements. In terms of technical parameters, the three devices are mostly the same: they have OLED screens and the resolution is not much different. Of course, the disadvantage is that they need higher-performance hardware device drivers, such as a top-level PC and a next-generation game console. So their prices will be more expensive. Oculus Rift has been pre-sold, starting at $599; HTC Vive needs to add another $200 because of its more complex technology, and PlayStation VR will also announce its price soon. There are other devices Of course, another option is to directly purchase a series of devices such as Baofeng Magic Mirror and Ant Vision VR in China. Most of them use mobile VR, and the main test is the supporting software content, mobile phone hardware performance, and screen parameters. Currently under study is an all-in-one VR host, which means that the computing unit that drives the VR image is placed in the head-mounted device, and the technical difficulty is also higher. In summary, the better equipment should be a VR helmet connected to a PC. They have stronger performance and theoretically render better VR content, but the disadvantage is that the price is high and requires additional hardware support. Even the most technically complex HTC Vive requires you to provide a space of more than 10 square meters . However, from current observations, the $799 HTC Vive is worth the money. Even The Verge has rated it as the strongest VR helmet. Whether it is for personal use or the many 2B business cases imagined by HTC (such as teaching students to understand the structure of the heart and how car repair trainees open the engine), it has good prospects and experience. The $599 Oculus Rift connected to the XBOX controller also performs very well in gaming, and is very immersive. Similarly, the $99 Samsung Gear VR can be the first choice for mobile VR. Of course, if you choose to give the cheapest Google Cardboard to your friends around you to play Lamper VR, it is also a wise decision to save money and not lose your style. There is also AR next to VR . It is not known whether VR/AR is the next "mobile phone market", but whether it is in the capital world, the hardware circle or the software and hardware giants we are familiar with have entered this industry. We can see many familiar figures from recent reports. In terms of AR, Microsoft has the AR device HoloLens, which is called black technology, and there is also a mysterious Magic Leap on the market with a valuation of 4.5 billion US dollars before the product. More and more people, analysis agencies, and manufacturers are considering this technology as another huge market after mobile phones. Why not buy one and try it out? As a winner of Toutiao's Qingyun Plan and Baijiahao's Bai+ Plan, the 2019 Baidu Digital Author of the Year, the Baijiahao's Most Popular Author in the Technology Field, the 2019 Sogou Technology and Culture Author, and the 2021 Baijiahao Quarterly Influential Creator, he has won many awards, including the 2013 Sohu Best Industry Media Person, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Beijing Third Place, the 2015 Guangmang Experience Award, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Finals Third Place, and the 2018 Baidu Dynamic Annual Powerful Celebrity. |
