Opening

In recent years, industry driven has spawned a boom in the VR industry. A wide range of VR devices and offline experience stores are full of consumers' eyes. However, the lack of truly high-quality VR resources is still the lifeblood of the industry development. Therefore, it is not meaningful for ordinary users to buy thousands or even tens of thousands of VR devices in terms of occasionally watching short films and playing games. The launch of Xiaomi VR glasses toy version, whose price is as low as 49 yuan, undoubtedly makes it possible for ordinary people to experience VR.

"Beauty Chapter"

The Xiaomi VR toy version is packaged in a paper box with black as the main tone. The three red characters "Go to explore" on the front are striking, revealing that the product should open the door to the VR world for users and lead them to explore a new fantasy world!

Is it not kind to complain at the beginning? However, the Xiaomi VR toy version is different from the previous hard box packaging of Xiaomi. Instead, it uses a simple packaging method of soft paper boxes. Therefore, we believe that after receiving the express delivery, the product's packaging box will be deformed to varying degrees, such as wrinkles and dents. We hope that it can be upgraded and improved in the future!

On the back of the box, the product name, model (V1C), accessories, equipment requirements and manufacturer information are clearly indicated.

Open the box to directly contain a letter from the glasses host and manufacturer to new explorers! It seems to be exclusive to the first batch of users

As one of the selling points, Xiaomi VR glasses toy version adopts lightweight skin friendly Lycra fabric on the surface of the host.

In addition, unlike most similar products, it adopts a unique two-way zipper design, which saves space and weight in comparison, and is also convenient to adapt to the location of the headphone holes of different mobile phones. Xiaomi's logo is on the front of the product, including the zipper. To reduce costs, Xiaomi VR is not equipped with a handle controller, but a metal thread control button is set on the upper part of the fuselage.

The core component of VR equipment is undoubtedly the lens. Xiaomi VR glasses toy version uses anti glare lenses, and has protective films on both sides before leaving the factory.

When the zipper is opened, the box placed inside is printed with operation instructions, and the box is filled with nylon elastic straps with adjustable T-shaped three ends.

The product still has more consideration on the installation details of the mobile phone, such as the front double opening, the sunken anti-skid foot pad in the middle, and so on. The conductive silicone head in the middle of the upper part of the lens is linked with the metal button on the top, which can simulate the click operation on the mobile phone screen.

In general, Xiaomi VR glasses toy version has a high appearance value, and its design details also show its intentions. However, the packaging box is slightly simple and does not support the pupil distance adjustment function, which are the shortcomings of the product.

Resources

As mentioned at the beginning, there are many kinds of VR devices, some of which have been updated many times, and the products are becoming more and more mature, but the lack of resources is always an unspeakable pain. How rich are the resources of Xiaomi VR glasses? We need to install Xiaomi VR APP to experience them.

The main interface of the APP has three functions. The default "video" interface currently provides popular recommendations, barley area, Lanting area, Dulipan area and other entertainment, sports, documentary short film resources. Most of them only take a few minutes, and can only have a light experience.

The "Application" interface provides some VR games and education for users to download.

The My interface provides the management function of local videos and downloaded applications. The settings also provide users with detailed help.

Due to the long-term use of Xiaomi Box, we are relatively satisfied with the richness of video resources inside, but at present, the resources in Xiaomi VR are mainly short films, lacking high-quality video content, and we hope that they can be upgraded and improved in the future.

Experience

No matter how high the appearance is, VR devices never depend on the face, and whether the product is good or not depends on the wearing experience.

Xiaomi VR glasses toy version supports mobile phones with a screen of 4.7-5.5 inches. When using, just open the APP to enter the VR playing state, and then align the split line in the middle of the screen with the arrow on the device. Of course, even if it is misaligned, it can be adjusted through double openings.

The phone with a 5.2 inch screen will not appear large, but if the size of the phone is smaller, there will be fewer exposed parts. I believe the heat dissipation problem will become more prominent! In addition, the mobile phone needs to support the gyroscope and have a high resolution, otherwise the graininess will affect the experience.

Let's talk about the wearing problem again. We just need to put the three ends of the binding into the body buckle respectively, adjust the tightness, and then stick the Velcro. This is also the most common fixing method to ensure the stability of the fuselage during use.

For the convenience of control, we can directly find the resources we want to see in the APP, click Play, and then wear VR glasses to watch.

You can also directly click the glasses icon at the bottom of the interface in the APP, then wear your eyes and confirm to enter VR mode through the metal button.

In VR mode, the system provides several functions similar to the video interface in APP, and also supports local playback. We can use the mobile phone gyroscope to aim the cursor at the function to be operated and press the body button to confirm playing. During playback, you can adjust the volume, fast forward, screen lock, and definition. Therefore, the VR playback function is relatively complete.

Summary

After a few days of simple trial, Xiaomi VR glasses toy version, as a low-cost entry-level VR device with a price of 49 yuan, adopts a unique zipper design, which is compact in structure and beautiful in appearance, and can basically meet users' needs for entry-level VR experience. However, there are still deficiencies in packaging, pupil distance adjustment, and resource richness. We look forward to improving in subsequent product and APP upgrades to bring users a better visual experience!
