A toy!

At the annual meeting of Xiaomi earlier this year, President Lei announced that he would set up Xiaomi Exploration Laboratory to enter the field of VR and robotics. But to my surprise, the first product of Xiaomi Exploration Laboratory was a toy! A VR box for mobile phones that costs only 49 yuan! Watch VR video resources with mobile phones, enter the scene in front of you from the first perspective, and bring you a wonderful experience. There are many similar products, such as Storm Mirror, which are famous.

An entry-level VR toy, which brings a new visual experience and enables ordinary users to experience the VR world at an early date, is a good choice, especially at the price of 49 yuan. Xiaomi is always a price butcher.

Go explore! The three red words on the black package are particularly eye-catching, to explore the novel vision and different visual experience brought by Xiaomi VR. Black technology and exploration, which is also the new slogan of Xiaomi starting from Xiaomi 5. Black, It is also the biggest feature of Xiaomi VR toy version, which is black from package to product.

The introduction of the products obtained from Xiaomi is more detailed, indicating that the manufacturer is Xiaomi Eco chain's Chuangmi Technology, and the precautions for use are also noted below, but these are not important, right, mainly products.

The product is very simple. There is only Xiaomi VR toy version and a letter in the packaging box. It starts to play again and impress users with feelings, right. Xiaomi VR toy version is just a simple vehicle without any electronic components.

"To a new explorer", this feeling is not bad, is it.

This sense of participation is a good way to maintain user loyalty. Today's technology companies should learn.

The eye-catching MI logo has openings on both sides for heat dissipation.

Open the zipper of Xiaomi VR toy version, there is a black paper box printed with the design of the back of the phone. This design is ingenious, simulating the location of the phone when it is used.

The headband is inside the carton, and the APP QR code and usage method are printed on the back.

The design of two-way zipper is durable. The advantage is that you can leave a gap in any position, taking into account the positions of different phone headphone holes, so it is convenient to connect headphones. Lycra fabric is used on the surface, which feels smooth and comfortable when contacting with the face skin.

These two lenses are the most scientific and technological ones of the whole product! Looking at the mobile phone through these two lenses, this inconspicuous toy brings us into a virtual and real world, with 360 degree panoramic view, 3D blockbusters, and various games, full of immersion.

Although the Xiaomi vr toy version is only a toy worth 49 yuan, the workmanship of the whole product is unambiguous, the design of details is up to standard, the material is also good, and there is no odor.

① Function button to control touch screen button.

② Touch the screen button and click the mobile phone screen to realize control.

③ The midline arrow is the midline in the center of the phone screen when watching the video to get a clearer image.

④ The bottom support is pasted with a layer of rubber pad to stabilize and protect the phone.

⑤ The rubber pads on both sides make the phone more stable and also protect the screen.

Function button Through a small mechanical linkage device, it is connected to the touch screen button, which is roughly equivalent to the confirmation key. Some VR boxes are controlled by remote control. The design of Xiaomi VR toy version is simpler, but when playing some games with frequent function keys, the arms are always hanging in the air, which is very tiring.

The weight of the equipment worn on the head will affect the comfort of wearing. Xiaomi VR toy version, including a headworn weight of about 252g, plus a mobile phone, the total weight is controlled within 400g. With skin friendly fabric, the actual use experience is good.

The design of three-dimensional headband and nylon fastener adjustment is simple but stable.

Wearing VR is basically the effect, Friendly reminder: when using Xiaomi VR, it's better to be in an unmanned environment! When you are immersed in the VR world, it is more like a disease in the eyes of others. Don't ask me how to know, hahaha.

On the Internet, I saw a friend ask: myopia is 800 degrees, can you see clearly when you take off your glasses? The bad news about this problem is that you can't see clearly without taking off your glasses! The good news is that you don't need to take off your glasses at all! Xiaomi VR has a large face space and can be used normally with glasses.

Are you ready to enter the novel world brought by Xiaomi VR?

First of all, it is still necessary to download the "Xiaomi VR" APP. It is also possible to download other VR video APPs. It is OK to watch videos. Only some games, because there is no remote control can not match. Of course, this article mainly introduces the professional ethics of Xiaomi VR APP, right.

The APP is still in black style, clearly divided into three parts: video, app and mine. You can see it at a glance, right? There is a little little content. Click the blue round icon at the bottom to directly enter the VR video playing interface. It is worth mentioning that the Xiaomi VR APP is updated every week, and a lot of content has been added in the two weeks since I installed the APP.

Select to enter the interface of a video, and you will see the size, duration and other details of the video. Click Play to start watching. If the network speed is not good, you can download the video to your phone first and then watch it. The content in the app is some 360 degree panorama games, which need to be downloaded and installed first, with a strong sense of immersion.

When using, pay attention to align the arrow with the center line on the screen, so as to ensure a clear image without ghosting. During the use, I found that the Xiaomi mobile phone is no problem, but the use of other brands of mobile phones will cause ghosting. I can't watch it on ZTE and Huawei mobile phones. I don't know why.

As mentioned earlier, the resources in Xiaomi VR are a little scarce. Fortunately, we can download various VR resources on the Internet and play them in Xiaomi VR APP.

The control interface of Xiaomi VR video playback. Press the function key to call up the menu during video playback. Notice the blue circle in the middle of the picture, which is equivalent to the mouse arrow. It moves by the rotation of our head and is confirmed by the function keys. It's a novel experience.

The video resources downloaded from the Internet will have different formats. You can switch the playback mode in the playback settings to get the best viewing experience. Some friends may have found that the background of the picture is flesh colored and has a beautiful face. Here, I sincerely and firmly believe that adult entertainment content is an important force to promote the VR industry. You can feel immersive and freely adjust your viewing angle. If you cooperate with the corresponding somatosensory equipment, your wife will not need it, hahaha.

VR panoramic experience is great! The picture can't be displayed. Play a video to experience the 360 degree panoramic experience brought by VR. The video itself is relatively small, only 38M, so the definition is very poor. The main reason is to show you the 360 degree panoramic feeling. It's really great. You can find clearer and more exciting videos on the Internet to watch.

Dismantled, the internal structure is very simple

The main problems encountered in use are:

1. The mobile phone fever is very serious. Several brands of mobile phones are like this. Is it a common problem to play VR. As the mobile phone is wrapped in the VR box, the heat dissipation is not good, and the mask is also very hot. After watching for a long time, the face inside the mask is not comfortable.

2. Vertigo is a common problem of VR. It varies from person to person. My wife feels sick after watching it.

3. The design of function keys is too simple. It's very tiring to play games with the arm hanging for a long time. I hope to launch a suitable remote control.

How to evaluate Xiaomi VR toy version?

It's really just a toy! Simple and brutal, in the eyes of some digital experts, it may not be the level of mainstream. But I feel that this simplicity is the biggest advantage of Xiaomi VR! At present, VR technology is not very mature. For ordinary users, it is too luxurious to spend hundreds, thousands or even thousands to buy a VR glasses. Many people lose the opportunity to experience it. But a toy worth 49 yuan is something everyone can have. It's comfortable to wear and has a good immersion experience, giving everyone a chance to experience new horizons!
