VR Equipment Introduction

For many people who have not experienced reality enhancement, or even virtual reality glasses products, this thing should be how to understand, hardware configuration, what operating system, compared to other glasses products on the market is different, this is a question worth saying. Today, we first take a taste of the next, the brand research and development of VR virtual and reality equipment bar.

First of all, we have a science of what is a virtual device

In short, virtual devices include virtual glasses, virtual helmets, and so on. They are referred to as VR (virtual reality). Through human-computer interaction, language, action, password into the virtual reality of the world. can be realized in the virtual world: regenerative tourism, medical study, operating real estate, games, biology, Science and other humanities-related things. Of course, the vast majority of projects in foreign countries have been achieved, domestic due to lack of product hardware has not really risen.

One, Microsoft HoloLens (AR)

In this year's Microsoft Build conference, the presence of the most eye-catching future product is HoloLens reality enhancement glasses, although the presence of players can only be seen from the third person HoloLens demonstration of the extraordinary effect, but the demo film is like a advertising film, If the first view of the manipulation must be the existence of a limited sense of perspective. At present, the price of Microsoft's augmented reality eyewear HoloLens is about $400, but it also offers different price distinctions for businesses and individuals when it comes to the market.

Second, Google Cardboard

From the appearance of this paper-based virtual glasses some "shabby", in fact, it was the first in the 2014 Google Developers Conference as a giveaway to send out, Cardboard cartons include cardboard, double convex lens, magnets, magic stickers, rubber bands and NFC card stickers and other components. It takes only a few minutes for the user to assemble a seemingly rudimentary toy glasses, and the front part of the convex lens leaves a cell phone space. No cell phone It is just a simple 3D glasses, but with a smart phone can form a virtual reality device, the price of this device is reported in TB only dozens of yuan can be done ...

Three, Oculus Rift

This Oculus Rift can be said to be a bunker, the developer version has just been launched to include the "Half Life 2", "Team Fortress 2", "simulated surgeon 2013" and other 20 of the balance has been offered to support the game, dozens of development in the game announced its support, while the available technical test demo up to Winnie. Oculus last year's third edition of the prototype Crescent Bay has integrated the headset, frame rate and can achieve 360-degree motion detection of the head, consumer-grade Oculus Rift on this basis will further improve the image, immersion effect and tracking system, but the official has not announced the price. Facebook, the social king, spent $2 billion last July buying Oculus, seen as a move by Facebook to pay for the future.

Four, HTC Vive

Vive is a virtual headset for handset maker HTC and virtual World Designer, the technology is also supported by Valve, which has a screen pixel of 1200*1080,90 frame per second refresh rate, eliminates the common jitter of VR technology, and the gyroscope sensor, accelerometer, Laser positioning sensors are combined to accurately position the rotation of the user's head in two axes, with official data showing an accuracy of up to one-tenth degrees. In addition, Vive is connected to a pair of Steam VR base stations to track the user's physical location up to 15 feet * 15 feet in space. But for sale, HTC says HTC will not start selling the Vive developer version until the consumer version is released.

Five, Samsung Gear VR

Gear VR is the crystallization of Samsung and Oculus, which can be understood as Oculus for Samsung's specially customized version. This device needs to be equipped with Galaxy S6/S6 Edge and Note4, our editorial department has experienced this product, it can provide 360-degree panoramic image and 96-degree view, the screen refresh rate is about 60 frames. There are three parts of the Gear VR operating system, including the store, the information base and the main interface, in which the user can categorize the app, each with its own interface and related options. Due to the need to use Samsung's mobile phones, the high-resolution screen of Samsung's range of smartphones is also paving the road for the Gear VR, which is now available for purchase at Best Buy and Samsung's website for a price of $199.99. Although the Oculus Rift and Gear VR two virtual reality devices have a competitive relationship, but the former is not on sale, does not affect the cooperation between the two, the only drawback of this device is too heavy.

VI, Sony Project Morpheus

This Sony Project Morpheus looks very cool from the appearance of the eyeglass surround Blu-ray, which uses a 5.7-inch OLED (curved display) with a resolution of 1920x1080 and a screen refresh rate of up to 120Hz. The device supports HDMI and USB two interfaces, specifically for Sony PS4 game consoles. It can be understood as the main game function of the virtual reality wearable device, but the relevant news that Sony's Project Morpheus virtual glasses specific time to market for the first half of 2016, the price is not published.

Seven, Thunder Snake Osvr

In terms of appearance, the new "OSVR Hacker developer Kit v1.1" selects the Full HD OLED display, reducing the screen delay and improving the contrast of the screen, which supports USB3.0 connection. Unlike other VR vendors that have been working on hardware, the snake is creating a software platform that supports any VR device, an ecosystem that can match any virtual reality helmet. The new OSVR is priced at $199 and is expected to be shipped in June this year, and the Thunder Snake party seems to be spending it again.

Next introduce several domestic VR equipment

Eight, Spirit Mirror VR

Ling Mirror is a domestic virtual reality industry, one of the active, its VR equipment sub-two: small white and small black. The mobile helmet is called "Little white". It features a mobile caliper design that can be used with 5 to 5.7 inch mobile phones. The knobs on the left and right sides of the fuselage help the user to adjust the pupil distance. and "Little Black" is a device completely independent of the mobile phone, it provides 1080P video support, equipped with aspheric optical lens, the field of view angle range is 100 degrees, and support 360-degree full-view immersion experience. But the Spirit Mirror VR equipment is currently in the crowdfunding, like domestic and may wish to pay more attention.

Nine, Ant Vision

Ant Vision reminds me of Marvel's sci-fi blockbuster "Ant Man," but it's just a similar name. This helmet features a full HD sharp screen with a 6-inch resolution of 1920*1080. The most important optical part is the patent of ant Vision, using 2 sets of aspherical lens design, can effectively correct distortion, so that the internal view of the screen as 100° angle of view, equivalent to the IMAX cinema screen size, and provide a full field of view (support 2d,3d effect), with a look at the film is definitely exciting. Ant Vision Built-in 9-axis sensor, using a number of space-sensing capture technology, so that the user even wearing a helmet rotation 180 degrees, still can capture the motion action. At present, this product is priced at 1499 yuan. Users can also choose 699 yuan game handle can love the official website to make an appointment.

Ten, the Storm Magic Mirror

Honestly, this looks like a radio VR product is also drunk, Storm Mirror is the storm is the first virtual reality of video released products, currently heard Iqiyi art is also committed to create a new generation of virtual reality equipment, this new generation of Storm Mirror provides the pupil distance adjustment and the object distance adjustment function, Can better meet the use of a family of myopia. In terms of material, the storm mirror upgrades the lenses to resin lenses and upgrades the patches from the sponge to the cortex. In addition to the new generation of Storm Mirror's front cover for the hollow design, with a large number of cooling holes, to avoid the heat caused by the phone to cause eye discomfort, in addition to the use of "peeping" function of the detachable design, can play more powerful. As an entry-level device, the Storm mirror price of 99 yuan, this price absolutely worthy of this appearance ...

11, Virglass Phantom

Virglass Phantom Virtual Helmet white one, fully compatible with the current screen in the 4.5-inch-6-inch mainstream smartphone, viewing angle of 68 degrees, it is worth mentioning that its adaptive pervasive technology, whether it is the naked eye, myopia or farsightedness can have a good visual experience. And the official proposal is the best control of an experience in half an hour or so, the current website price of 429 yuan.

Looking at such a variety of virtual reality equipment, may be their future cool styling to bluff. In fact, virtual reality technology not only in the country is not mature enough, outside the current technology is only more for the game field. I have personally experienced several virtual reality equipment, although the game screen is very exquisite, but wearing too heavy, a less than half an hour of the game is often sweating, and will appear head dizziness. Asked the engineer to know that this is a common problem of VR, the screen refresh rate has not reached the level of human eye adaptation. However, we are still optimistic about these VR devices, whether from hardware or image processing optimization, VR equipment is not a fleeting period of work, but it will become more adaptable to our lives of important technology products.
