Preface

Speaking of the hottest toys this summer, VR devices must be the most popular. This novel hardware that is being developed by major mobile phone manufacturers has broken a new way of interaction, making our games more vivid and entertainment more interesting. There are a lot of VR brands on the market now, leading by Samsung and HTC, but these two have more VR functions, but the price is also more expensive. Many Xiaobai users who want to experience VR are too busy. Is Xiaobai really out of touch with VR? Of course not, because there is also Xiaomi. Xiaomi just released a toy version of VR. The price on its official website is only 49 yuan. If you don't see it, he will give you another 50 yuan. How about the realization of the toy version VR, which sells for only 49 yuan? Today, let's talk about it, and let's have a look with the little friends who are interested in it!

Unpacking

The product packaging of Xiaomi VR uses a relatively stable and scientific black paper packaging, with red fonts, giving a very mysterious feeling. The overall setting on the front of the packaging box is also very simple, with no unnecessary pattern and text decoration. An official slogan to explore is printed on the middle of the front of the product package, which also uses red font, which is very comfortable. There is also a Xiaomi official logo printed on the top of the slogan. This logo does not have any coloring treatment, and it still looks like a sense of technology in the distance!

On the back of the package of Xiaomi VR products, there are some device parameter information. If you don't know enough about Xiaomi VR, please look at the bottom of the back carefully. I believe you will have a general understanding of this Xiaomi VR. This time, the packaging design of Xiaomi VR is very thin, and the protection of internal VR is not strong, so if you do not choose a thicker express box during express transportation, It is inevitable that the VR will be damaged during the delivery process, but it is good that the manufacturer chooses a thick delivery box for the delivery equipment, or can ensure that the Xiaomi VR is delivered to the small partners in good condition. The small partners who are worried about this can buy it with confidence!

The toy version is good, so this Xiaomi VR does not need to be charged, and there are not many accessories in the standard configuration, but Xiaobian is still wayward to show you the full set of accessories of this toy version of Xiaomi VR! As shown in the figure above, this Xiaomi VR toy version is a family portrait. Xiaomi VR toy version x1, detachable headwear x1, and the first batch of trial thank you cards x1. Well, the Xiaomi VR toy version of 49 yuan is all about these things, let's enjoy it!

Details

When I first saw the Xiaomi VR toy version on the official promotional picture of Xiaomi, it gave me a different feeling. When I took Xiaomi VR out of the product package and presented it to me for the first time, I really felt that it was really different from other brands of VR. Although the general shape is not as good as other VRs, Xiaomi VR does not use plastic materials this time, but uses a very unique zipper design. Lycra fabric makes Xiaomi VR stand out from multiple VRs, so that you can identify it in the crowd at a glance.

Xiaomi VR toy version has another difference from other VR versions, except that Xiaomi VR also has a colorful version. If you think it can only be low-key black, you underestimate it. Change the material design to make the glasses on your hand unique, not only unique, but also an in way to make the popularity soar. Graffiti, coloring, decoration... There are thousands of different ways to make your Xiaomi VR different from other homes! However, since Xiaomi VR is still in the release stage, it is still unable to purchase the graffiti version. Here we also hope that Xiaomi can speed up the pace and let those who like colorful colors buy colorful versions as soon as possible!

The Xiaomi VR toy version uses lightweight skin friendly Leica fabric as a whole to reduce the uncomfortable feeling of wearing for a long time, and the visual feeling of feeling closer to the whole is still very good. Although the unique Leica fabric design is adopted, the knitter is inevitably a little worried. After a long time and too much use, after the Leica fabric gets dirty, it must not be easy to clean the plastic material. Do you still need to take a bath for Xiaomi VR toy version every other time, I wonder if this Leica fabric will deform after being washed in water?

The front of Xiaomi VR toy version adopts a double opening design, and the two openings reserved on the front not only facilitate small partners to fine tune the position of the mobile phone, but also play a role in heating and cooling the mobile phone. In the middle of the two reserved openings, there is also a yellow MILOGO. From the front of the Xiaomi VR toy version, the overall design is still very simple. The yellow Xiaomi LOGO on the front also increases the overall brand recognition rate by a gear. As long as you wear the Xiaomi VR from afar, people can find that it is Xiaomi's home.

Another very special feature of Xiaomi VR toy version is its mobile phone fixing method. Xiaomi VR does not use the snap type fixing method commonly used by most VR products. It requires the most classic invention in the past century, the zipper style. This innovation not only makes this Xiaomi VR toy version unique, but also can adapt to the position of the headphone holes of different mobile phones, which can be said to be a great design that kills two birds with one stone!

After opening the zipper of Xiaomi VR, we can clearly see that the mobile phone placement of Xiaomi VR is also carefully designed. On both sides of the front position of the phone, there is a anti-skid foot pad. These two foot pads are also specially designed. In the middle of the anti-skid foot pads on both sides, the concave design is adopted, which can effectively avoid the HOME button of the phone and reduce repeated operations caused by accidental touch. There is also a mobile phone ground drag at the bottom of it. Our mobile phone can be stably placed on it and will not fall off easily. On the back of the phone, the manufacturer also designed a protective sponge to slide the phone left and right. However, in the actual use process, the editor found that, for example, the Xiaomi Note mobile phone still has a slight left and right sliding phenomenon, and the effect of the sponge cushion on the back is not very obvious. If the mobile phone is thinner, the sliding phenomenon will be more serious. I hope the manufacturer can pay attention to this problem and do a good job in the later optimization work!

There is a metal solid key on the top of Xiaomi RV toy version, and the surface of the solid key is textured, which makes it feel very good when pressed. Xiao Bian believes that the key stroke length and service life of this key are very important. On the contact surface with the mobile phone, Xiaomi has also equipped a conductive silicone head. No matter whether the mobile phone is coated or not, the actual operation of the small partner will not be affected in actual use.

Xiaomi VR toy version adopts two-piece lens design, and Xiaomi is also very particular about lens selection. These two lenses are anti vertigo lenses. The minimum process error of the whole lens is only 0.01mm, which is about 7/1 of the hair diameter. Only when the optical level is within this error, the imaging clarity of the transparent mirror can be guaranteed. In actual use, the actual experience effect of this anti dizziness lens varies from person to person. The small knitting has no feeling of dizziness after a long time of use, while my wife will still feel uncomfortable when using it!

Xiaomi VR toy version also has low requirements on the size of mobile phones, and can adapt to 4.7-5.7 inch smartphones of mainstream size on the market. There is no need for tedious installation steps when using it. Open the APP to select the content you want to experience, then place the horizontal screen of the mobile phone in the Xiaomi VR toy version, close the Xiaomi VR and pull the zipper to experience Xiaomi VR immediately!

Xiaomi VR's headwear also adopts a three-point adjustable design, and children can adjust a more appropriate headwear size according to their own head and tail size. The adjustment of the whole headwear is also very simple, and the adhesive design is also used for the adjustment, so the adjustment size is very simple. Since the whole headwear also has a little elasticity, even if your partner wears it for a long time, you will not feel uncomfortable, and it will not fall off easily even if you shake slightly when using it, so you can use it with confidence.

Application Introduction

Before starting to use Xiaomi VR, we must also download an application called "Xiaomi VR". The download method is also very simple. We can use the mobile phone to scan the VR eye lens and wear the QR code on the box to jump to the download page. After jumping, we can click to download the application. The whole process is very simple. After downloading and installing, we can happily use Xiaomi VR!

After installing the Xiaomi VR app, the partner enters the APP page and finds that the Xiaomi VR is divided into three different modules: video module, application module and mine. Of course, there are some video resources supporting Xiaomi VR in the video! In the application module, there are some games that support VR mode. Because I don't like playing games, I will skip this link. My friends can view the settings of local videos, my apps, download center and some related apps here!

Click the blue button in the middle of the lower part of the Xiaomi VR page, put the mobile phone into the Xiaomi VR toy version according to the mobile phone prompts, and you can start the Xiaomi VR control menu mode. We can control the movement of the circle cursor in the display by moving up and down from left to right. On the left side of the display page in the front VR is the menu page, and on the right side are the local videos we downloaded to the mobile phone. What kind of video support is needed, we just need to move left and right, and then confirm through the physical buttons on Xiaomi VR.

This group of pictures is the picture structure shown on the mobile phone after opening the video of Xiaomi VRAPP. But from the perspective of Xiaomi VR toy version, the picture will have a very magical change. In the Xiaomi VR toy version, the left and right picture distribution on the mobile phone will become a small circle, and the whole picture can support 360 degree panoramic viewing. It is very vivid, as if this real thing happened around you, very real and very shocking! In the process of playing, we can also use the physical buttons on VR to control the pause, play, volume increase and decrease, brightness adjustment and return operation of the video, which is very convenient for the overall experience.

Actual use

1、 Picture quality and resource perception:

Image quality experience: During the experience of Xiaomi VR, the image quality of Xiaomi VR toy version makes me feel very vulnerable to the drag of mobile phone display. The mobile phone Xiaobian uses is Xiaomi NOTE display, which is 1080P full HD display. When viewing video resources through Xiaomi VR toy version, the overall picture quality is grainy. In fact, this is also a common phenomenon of VR nowadays. The VR imaging of toy version is very simple, which is to feed back the content of mobile phone display screen to people's eyes through the working principle of convex lens. Watching the mobile phone screen so closely, and the lenses on VR can also magnify, so it is inevitable that the image presented has a sense of graininess. Many users in the group reported that the mobile phone with a 2k display also has a sense of graininess. I want to think that VR has no sense of graininess, and the manufacturer has a long way to go!

Resource experience: In addition to Xiaomi VR, an application that supports VR resources, many video software manufacturers have begun to release their own VR video software. However, since VR is just starting, basic video content is presented in the form of short films, and video clips within a few minutes are also hundreds of megabytes in number, and more than one large video Before getting Xiaomi VR, I still want to watch 3D movies and series on VR. I really think too much. Even if such resources appear, I wonder if a 16G mobile phone can download an episode of TV?

2、 Wearing comfort:

The Xiaomi VR toy version supports two ways of viewing and using. We can directly hold the VR in our hands to watch it. If we feel tired, we can also wear the Xiaomi VR toy version directly on our heads. The Xiaomi VR head wear supports manual adjustment of tightness. In addition, the head wear also has an elastic structure. When we wear the Xiaomi VR on our heads at the time, there is no uncomfortable feeling of the base head. Xiaomi's VR lenses are officially advertised to use anti vertigo lenses, but in the actual use process, the anti vertigo lenses also vary from person to person. I don't feel dizzy when I use them, but my wife uses them to say they are very dizzy. I just want to comment on the good and bad, but I hope that if there is any uncomfortable situation during the use process, I must remove them immediately, To avoid other accidents. Since Xiaomi VR does not adopt a fully enclosed structural design, the VR lens does not appear fogging during use!

3、 Glasses can also be worn:

Because the Xiaomi VR adopts a concave design, even if you are a user with glasses, you can successfully wear and use the Xiaomi VR. In the actual use process, although users with glasses can use it normally, users with glasses may not see the picture clearly because Xiaomi VR does not have a focus adjustment button. I hope the manufacturer can pay attention to this problem and optimize this aspect in the future!

4、 Mobile phone heating:

My Xiaomi mobile phone is very hot due to the excessive resources during use. The experience of Xiaomi's VR toy version lasted for just over ten minutes. The maximum heating temperature of the mobile phone can reach about 48 degrees. If I use it on time, Xiaozhen will be worried about the reimbursement of my old opportunity. Of course, it can't be blamed on Xiaomi. After all, the VR resources are so large, and the mobile phone hardware can't keep up with it, so heating is also a reasonable thing!

Summary

In the past few days when I used the Xiaomi VR toy version, the experience of using it was really very good. After all, it was only a toy version VR with a price of only 49 yuan. However, in the experience of the past few days, I still found that in order to make VR a better experience for users, not only the VR hardware itself needs to work hard, but also the synchronization of resources. However, I think that the VR experience in the past two years will basically stay in the form of short film experience and entertainment. If you want to watch a shocking 3D Hollywood movie, a shocking 3D TV series, and a real 3D game experience in VR, there is really a long way to go. This is not only Xiaomi needs to work hard, but also the entire VR industry needs to work together, Let users with VR have a good experience, OK! Today's use evaluation is over. See you next time!
