Today, let's talk about Shanghai # Sony Glamour Show # just released the Sony HMZ-T3W (hereinafter referred to as T3W), an interesting wearable device, which may be a cool way to complement military HMDs when you haven't started? No, no, no, this thing has entered our life now. You can buy it by turning left when you go out.

With the rise of the concept of wearable devices, the devices we imagined before have become more reliable, such as bracelets, watches, glasses, shoes, clothes, and so on. With the progress of technology, they have been given new functions to make life "more futuristic".

As the third generation head mounted display device of Sony, T3W has made great progress in terms of weight, comfort and portability compared with the previous generation products. The forehead fixed support and the double ring belt design for easy adjustment are more ergonomic to wear. At the same time, Sony has redesigned the lens structure to reduce its weight by 20% and reduce the pressure when wearing. Built in a new image processing engine (similar to the principle of X-Reality), it can improve the image processing and display optimization to a certain extent. With two 0.7 inch OLEDs, the resolution is 1280 * 720 (PPI 2100), close to the 45 ° wide angle of view of the cinema, Sony claims that it can get the immersive effect of "watching 750 inch 3D film giant screen 20 meters away".

Of course, the specific effect is not determined by the data, but the experience results in the next few days~

Wear: COS alien Youmu Youyou

It has to be said that T3W is a very cool equipment with a very bright appearance. The chrome plated metal looks very futuristic, a bit like a fighter in the future. However, compared with the previous two generations of products HMZ-T2 and HMZ-T1, T3W is much more conservative in design for comfort and weight optimization~

Users who have experienced the previous generation of products may complain about their cumbersome and uncomfortable wearing. In addition to the obvious weight reduction, this generation of products has also made many adjustments in design, which has greatly improved their wearing comfort. For example, T3W is not like the previous generation of products that will press on the bridge of the nose to give people a sense of weight.

(Try to wear it for the QX10, and make do with it. If you are interested, you'd better go to SS to experience the wearing experience)

T3W has a forehead support at the front end of the device, and an upper/lower adjustable head ring at the rear end, as well as soft anti slip pads. Because of its softness, it will not feel uncomfortable after adjusting the tightness, and the adjustment is relatively convenient.

※ I still feel a little cumbersome when wearing it for the first time. Although it is convenient to adjust, I can't afford to adjust back and forth.
If the user wearing glasses wants to use and adjust it, it is a little troublesome. Theoretically, it is OK, but I feel a little dizzy in my actual experience. I suggest using contact lenses

connect:
After blood exchange, the T3W is easy to connect, but there are also many problems, such as the portable power supply is not convenient to carry.
First of all, T3W supports limited connection and wireless connection. The difference between the two connection modes is that there is only one HDMI HD output cable.
The T3W wireless connection adopts the WirelessHD wireless technology standard, and the transmission rate reaches 10-28Gbps, which can ensure the audio-visual effect of audio content without compression and near zero delay.
When connecting wirelessly, the processor unit is powered on and connected to the computer with HDMI cable to turn on the power. Turn on the power and wait for the signal to be received.
※ Attention
1. The T3W and the battery unit can not be separated. This design has some movement restrictions during use. For example, when you habitually lean your body when playing games, pay attention to the placement of the battery unit to avoid falling.
2. The battery unit will dissipate heat during use. Sony has designed a cooling vent for it. Remember not to cover it during use.

The size of the processor unit is similar to that of an ordinary household router. The three HDMI input sockets on the back are relatively good, which can meet the needs of users who use more household devices and avoid back and forth plugging. In addition, an HDMI output jack is also provided, so that the use of T3W will not delay the use of computers and other devices.

In addition, the headphone jack (3.5mm) is designed on the T3W body, which can move the head to a certain extent after wearing.

※ Attention
During my experience, I found that there is basically no obstacle placed between the battery unit and the processor unit, otherwise the signal will be terminated. When there is no obstacle, the test reception range is between 4 meters and 5 meters. A battery unit bracket is attached randomly, which can help wireless communication. In practice, because the connecting wire between the main body and the battery unit is short, it will not work~

operation

In terms of operation, T3W keys are all concentrated at the bottom of the front end of the device, divided into two small areas on the left and right, which is convenient for left and right hand operation, so it is not easy to press the wrong key.
Similarly, although the key setting is relatively scientific, except for the lens span, it is very unpleasant to re-enter the setting wizard every time you start up.

Right button, including menu key, direction control key, power key, and right eye lens span adjuster

details

In terms of details, I found that the T3W is a little better. It is equipped with two rubber hoods, which can be removed at the same time without being affected by the "light leak" when watching movies. The lower part can be removed when playing games, which is convenient to see the keyboard for operation. Of course, it doesn't matter to play games with PS4 and use the handle~

Effect: 750 inch giant screen for one person

T3W uses two 0.7 inch OLEDs with a resolution of 1280 * 720 and supports 3D display. In the official promotional materials, Sony said that it can get the feeling of "watching the 750 inch giant screen 20 meters away". In the actual experience, although the distance is impossible to measure, the experience effect is shocking enough. It can effectively expand the color gamut with the Terri Charm color mobile display technology, so that the color reproduction performance is more realistic, and the image displayed under high contrast and high sharpness is quite shocking.
At the same time, the T3W display is also set freely. In addition to several preset image modes, you can set the contrast, brightness, color, color temperature, sharpness, display size and other aspects separately. When you watch a movie, it is basically your own feeling~

Use scenarios: games, movies, expansion screens, travel

Games: Most users interested in this device are eager to play games. T3W provides a game display mode, in which the contrast and image details are enhanced, making it convenient for PC game players to look down. However, playing games with it for a long time may cause discomfort, which needs attention.
Movies: Needless to say, it is relatively convenient to use a computer as an extended screen connection. The main reason is that its 3D effect is much more than watching 3D TV at home, and the 750 inch giant screen is not a random experience.
Expansion screen: I mentioned this because a microblog user asked whether it can be used as a daily expansion screen. I said why do you need it? Without a good experience, it is good. Viewing the web page and other operations will have a great impact on efficiency.
Travel: T3W supports connecting smart phones and tablets through MHL. It is better to see a movie than to solve the boredom in the journey on the small screen. In the self test, the effect of connecting it with Sony Xperia Z1 is basically the same as that of connecting to the computer~

Conclusion: The device is Sony, and the result is Sony.

The first impression of a good new product is just to attract users. Of course, the real good product is still praised after the experience. After experiencing Sony HMZ-T3W for a week or so, I felt that I was easy-going and had a good impression. There is no doubt about the experience of the giant screen effect it brings. You can experience the audio-visual effect of the cinema with it. I have to say that this is a product with great ideas and good results. However, the equipment is somewhat bulky, which also makes us keep a certain distance from it. Maybe the product we expect is more like a pair of glasses, which can be worn to experience beauty.
