Review of the new toy for geeks: Baofeng Magic Mirror 3 plus

At this year's E3 exhibition, Microsoft's black technology Oculus made VR technology popular again, but the price of the development board Oculus announced later made enthusiasts stay away from it. There are many cheaper solutions on the market. The product we reviewed this time is Baofeng Mojing 3 plus, which costs 129 yuan.

Baofeng Mojing is the first company in the world to make and mass-produce VR glasses, and also the company with the largest market share in VR glasses. From the first generation of magic mirror to the present, after continuous improvements, Baofeng Mojing 3 plus has become a perfect entry-level product.

Baofeng Magic Mirror 3 plus uses the black and white color scheme of Baofeng Magic Mirror 3. The whole device is made of a plastic material called acrylic. There are a large number of heat dissipation holes on the panel. Combined with the transparent appearance, Baofeng Magic Mirror 3 Plus looks quite technological. When you open the translucent mask, you can see the two convex lenses inside. Baofeng Magic Mirror 3 Plus comes with 2 lenses to choose from, namely the A lens with a Fov60° suitable for playing games and the B lens with a Fov90° suitable for watching movies.

In order to facilitate users to use headphones, a headphone extension interface is added inside the front panel of Baofeng Magic Mirror, making it more convenient to connect headphones. Baofeng Magic Mirror 3 Plus is compatible with 4.7 to 6-inch mobile phones on the market through a removable rubber bracket to prevent the phone from shaking in the magic mirror when immersed in the VR world.

On top of the magic mirror is the traditional pupil distance adjustment wheel, which is designed mainly for myopic users... However, Baofeng Magic Mirror 3 only supports simultaneous adjustment of the degree of myopia of both eyes, that is, the difference in the degree of myopia of your two eyes cannot be greater than 100 degrees.

Baofeng Mojing 3plus does not use the protein leather eye mask of the past, but uses a detachable sponge. Here is a small detail that shows Baofeng Mojing's sincerity in fully listening to user feedback in design. The eye mask of Baofeng Mojing 3 is very easy to be damaged because there is no support at the bridge of the nose. The new Baofeng Mojing 3 plus has been changed to a segmented design to reduce maintenance costs. At the same time, like the convex lens, Baofeng Mojing 3 plus is also equipped with 2 detachable eye masks for users to choose from.

The test used a 4.7-inch iPhone 6s and a 5-inch Xiaomi 4 with Baofeng Mojing 3 plus. In terms of adaptation, the Baofeng Mojing application experience on the iOS system is not very good. It is difficult to connect the Bluetooth handle that comes with it to the iPhone, but it can be easily connected on the Android platform.

The application functions on the two platforms are slightly different. There is a very interesting function on the iOS platform - voyeurism, which uses the phone's camera to display the surrounding environment in VR, which is very interesting. After more than a year of development, the VR resources on the Baofeng Mojing platform are already quite rich, and games, panoramic pictures, panoramic roaming, etc. are very playable.
