Part 1 | Preface: VR manufacturers, survive through cracks

VR sounds tall and fashionable, but in fact its products are expensive. Due to technical constraints, VR products with superior experience effect have all reached the 3000 yuan mark. In 2016, VR products began to develop in a blowout manner, which made many manufacturers swarming in. However, with the shuffle of the brand in one year, many low-end VR manufacturers began to disappear, and only a group of domestic brands, such as Dapeng and Hijing, who took the high-end route, survived and made great strides all the way. VR products currently include mobile VR boxes, PC VR and VR all-in-one machines. After more than a year of baptism, mobile VR boxes gradually fade out of the competition. Hi Mirror VR all-in-one machine mainly focuses on private giant screen cinema, which is second to none in terms of screen, color rendering and resources. Today, the author will introduce the latest Hi Mirror H2 all-in-one machine to you. Let's enjoy the differences of this high-end VR all-in-one machine.

Part 2 | Unpacking: exquisite packaging, high-end luxury

The outer package of Hijing H2 is mainly white, and the front design is very simple. In the center is the oblique side effect picture of Hijing H2. The Chinese text "Hijing H2 and the merchant website" is located at the bottom of the effect picture, and the upper left corner of the effect picture is "HiSpot". The design elements of the back of the package are more diversified. In addition to the renderings from various angles, the back of the package is more about introducing the characteristics, advantages and detailed configuration parameters of Hi Mirror H2.

The interior of Hijing H2 is designed with double layers. After opening the box, the first thing I saw was the Hijing H2 helmet. So far, the veil of the mysterious Hijing H2 all-in-one machine has been lifted. At this moment, I am more excited about it; On the second floor are accessories and Hikvision H2 handheld multimedia host. The exclusive cabin design makes the interior more neat and uniform, and can also ensure the safety of transportation.

After all the objects are taken out and displayed one by one, there is a magnificent feeling. In addition to the Hijing H2 helmet and handheld multimedia host, the package also includes USB charging data cable, Hijing H2 customized headset, HDMI+USB two in one data cable, original charging head, certificate and instructions for use of Hijing H2. Hi Mirror H2 helmet, multimedia host and accessories other than paper are protected by protective film or special packaging bag, and the details are very good.

Part 3 | Appearance: sci-fi style, self styled

Hi Mirror H2 helmet has a unique style, which gives people a mysterious sense of technology. The overall size of Hikvision H2 helmet is 173mm * 61mm * 70mm (length * width * height), and the weight is 236g. From the perspective of parameters, the size is moderate, and the weight is light. The received Hi Mirror H2 discards the black of the original version in color matching and adopts Whale Sea Blue, which makes the color more vivid visually.

Hi Mirror H2 helmet is more humanized, with knob+stretching+rotating design. The diamond shaped rotary button is more ingenious against the oval groove, and the diamond shape is also a symbol of dignity and luxury. The ingenious diamond shape design plays the role of finishing touch on the Hi Mirror H2 helmet. Press down and rotate the diamond knob to adjust the headband size and reduce the accidental touch operation.

The part in direct contact with the forehead is a customized one-piece polyester sponge. The width and thickness of the sponge are moderate, and the actual wearing comfort and permeability are also good. Hi Mirror H2 uses an integrated rubber headband. The size of the headband can be adjusted with a knob. There is no bulge design on the headband. During wearing, it can neither messy hair nor lie down at will, without worrying about any discomfort.

Since everyone's face shape varies from person to person, in order to make users more comfortable when wearing HiMirror H2, HiMirror H2 has designed a three gear stretchable forehead support component under the mirror mercury nameplate to adapt to different face shapes. The support component is connected with the headband by means of hinge connection, which is convenient to find the most suitable wearing position according to the size of the forehead. In the actual measurement, it is hard to pull the support parts, and the angle adjustment is relatively easy.

There is only one data cable in the helmet of Hijing H2, which is much simpler than VR products of other brands. In order to facilitate the storage of headband and data cable, Hijing H2 is equipped with a velcro when it leaves the factory, but I can't help but be disappointed after opening the velcro, because the tail of the velcro is not locked on the data cable, which greatly reduces its practicability, Maybe I lost it carelessly.

When VR products experience, the most taboo is light leakage. If there is a lot of light transmission, the effect of sinking will be twice the effort and half the effort. In order to effectively block the light, the eyemask of Hi Mirror H2 is made of rubber with the same material as the headband, and the sponge pad on the previous version is eliminated. This is also difficult for me to understand. After all, the comfort level of sponge will be greatly improved. If some users are worried that they are not used to it, they can design a detachable sponge.

In order to reduce the sense of pressure on the bridge of the nose during long wearing, a softer and thinner rubber pad is designed at the bridge of the nose. The middle of the rubber pad is divided by a seam to facilitate left and right separation during wearing. Above the bridge of the nose is an intelligent sensor. When we take off the helmet, the playing content will automatically pause, and continue to play when we wear it again. The addition of intelligent sensors is more humanized.

The focus, pupil adjustment button and headphone hole are located at the bottom of Hi Mirror H2, which is very convenient to adjust in the actual experience. Support for focal length adjustment is a major feature of Hi Mirror H2, which is also a relief for me with myopia of 500 degrees. Hi Mirror H2 supports myopia within 1000 degrees, astigmatism adjustment within 200 degrees, and pupillary distance adjustment of 64 ± 6mm. The pupillary distance and myopia adjusting mechanism are designed as a whole. The button adjusts the pupillary distance and the knob adjusts myopia.

The 2D/3D key and Brightness key of Hi Mirror H2 are located on both sides of the helmet. The key design is integrated with the whole, which is very creative and practical. Hi Mirror H2 supports three 3D modes, including left and right full width, left and right half width, and top and bottom format. There are five levels of brightness adjustment, which can be adjusted according to personal needs during viewing.

The quality of the display screen is crucial for a VR. With two Sony 0.7 inch high-definition OLED micro displays densely covered with 2 million pixels, Hikvision H2 has a single eye resolution of up to 1080P, a PPI of up to 3147, and a wide color gamut of 115%. The super high contrast makes the light and dark details more clear and natural, and the super wide color gamut makes every picture worth elaborating. The color is more pure and beautiful.

Hikvision H2 adopts 12 resin aspheric ultra precision optical system, which supports independent imaging of both eyes. The field angle can reach 52 °, and the image size is equivalent to an imaging distance of 15 meters to see an 800 inch giant screen image. The optical resin material imported from Japan makes the light transmittance higher, the image more stable, and the picture clearer. The effect reaches the full picture without distortion, effectively eliminating the vertigo, so that the long viewing does not hurt the eyes and fatigue.

The multimedia host of Hijing H2 is equivalent to a mini computer. Its overall size is almost the same as that of a 5-inch mobile phone. It is very comfortable to hold. Because the key design is relatively simple, it is also convenient for blind operation. The diagonal section at the upper right corner is the power on/off key and the power support light. The double circle is the direction key and the confirmation key. The HOME key, the return key, the menu key, the volume+/- key and the voice recognition key are immediately below.

The three symmetrical holes on the back are designed as the heat dissipation holes of the host, and the holes are also designed with dust-proof metal mesh. At first glance, they are regarded as speakers. On the whole, the heat dissipation performance of the multimedia host is good. The left side of the multimedia host is an expansion TF card slot, which can support 256G storage expansion at most, thus greatly improving the storage space of the multimedia host.

The top of the multimedia host is Micro USB interface and Type-C charging interface. The multimedia host supports QC2.0 fast charging technology, and can be charged using three specifications of DC 5V/3A, 9V/2A, and 12V/1.5A power adapters. At the bottom of the multimedia host is the HDMI interface, which is mainly used to connect the video picture of HIJING H2 helmet.

Hijing H2 multimedia host is equipped with ARM quad core Cortex-A7 processor, with the main frequency of 1.5GHz. It uses the storage combination of 2GB DDR3 RAM memory+32GB EMMC storage space, supports Bluetooth BT4.0 dual-mode and 2.4G/5G dual band WiFi, and has a built-in polymer lithium battery of up to 7000mAh. It can play video for 8 hours continuously. It takes 3 hours to fully charge. The overall hardware configuration is not strong, but just satisfactory.

Part 4 | System: simple interface and rich resources

Hi Mirror H2 is equipped with a new version of Whale intelligent system, which is developed based on the Android operating system. The entire UI interface is intuitive and simple, very similar to the operating system of TV or projection in daily use. The system is mainly divided into four sections: home page, video center, application center and dynamic. Entering the system is the home page interface by default.

The content classification of the home page is relatively simple, mainly divided into two parts: selection and quick entry. Featured movies are mainly popular movies recommended by the system by default. The first five shortcut portals are the system's default categories. The following+icon can add other applications to the home page according to your own requirements for content, which will be very convenient to use.

Hi Mirror H2 mainly focuses on private giant screen cinemas, so it can be said that there are all kinds of video resources. The top of the video center is divided into four categories: historical records, local videos, offline centers and my collection. The following is a more detailed classification, which is mainly divided into five categories: all categories, hot theaters, the strongest variety show, 3D movies, and ultra clear 1080P. The video resources are abundant and can easily match the major video websites.

Hijing H2 Whale intelligent system is an open platform. In addition to the built-in resources of the system, HiStore App Store integrates most of the video and game applications, so as to make the whole content world available to us and let you have no regrets. The application center is mainly divided into seven sections, namely, recent use, minor recommendation, ranking, hot topics, hot games, utilities, and all categories. The classification is very detailed.

Whale intelligent system supports BT4.0 dual-mode Bluetooth in addition to dual band WIFI connection, which can be used to connect peripherals or Bluetooth game consoles to have an immersive game experience through Hikvision H2. In the setting center, we can set the network Bluetooth, image settings, system settings, application settings, language time zone, audio settings and other six categories.

The most worthy complaint of the whole system is the game application. As a high-end VR all-in-one machine with a price of 3000 yuan, it can only experience Android games, and there is no desired VR game to experience. If you want to experience VR games, you must use third-party software to download the corresponding VR games. Although Hi Mirror H2 focuses on private theaters, it may not be a wise choice for platform resources to abandon VR games.

Part 5 | Experience: top-level display, immersive

The wearing process of Hi Mirror H2 is very convenient. Just adjust the approximate headband size and angle, and then press the diamond knob to adjust it to your own configuration. In the video experience, the wearing feeling is relatively comfortable. Because there is no matching sponge, the eye mask will be a little cool in winter, and there will be a little light leakage in the daytime when watching movies. The effect of watching movies at night is better.

HiPlayer native player of HiMirror H2 supports automatic recognition and playback of 3D movies, and can automatically match subtitles and switch tracks online. Thanks to Sony's military level display technology, 12 pieces of resin aspheric optical system and six layers of imported antireflection blue light coating, it makes the 3D film more immersive, clearer, brighter, and immersive. The only drawback is that there is a slight blur in the four corners of the screen.

Hi Mirror H2 is equipped with pirate chips with independent intellectual property rights tailored for head mounted display devices. It supports dual screen drive display and focus adjustment, which is a more user-friendly and intimate design for myopic people. The HDMI audio and video interface of Hijing H2 head mounted display, together with the official standard HDMI+USB 2-in-1 adapter cable, can turn your PC host, game console, set-top box, Blu ray machine, UAV, even mobile phone and PAD into a giant screen device in an instant.

Due to the high recognition of blind operation of Higgle H2 handheld host, it is also very convenient to use and operate. The effect of sitting and lying is even better. If you lower your head to use it, there will be light leakage. If you shake your head sharply, the screen will appear temporarily blurred for myopic people like me. The heat dissipation control of the multimedia host is second to none, but the endurance needs to be improved, which can only last about 4 hours.

Hi Mirror H2 system has a built-in VR resource zone. After entering the VR zone, the interface changes to VR panorama mode. There is no need to manually operate the whole process, just operate through the helmet view. The VR zone is also rich in resources, mainly including panorama and 3D. The immersive effect of panoramic videos is more realistic and can be viewed from multiple angles. Some videos also support interpersonal interaction, which is very attractive.

Part 6 | Summary: The main screen is outstanding

Through nearly a week's experience, I personally feel that the comprehensive performance of Hi Mirror H2 is outstanding among domestic VR all-in-one machines. First of all, the positioning of Hikvision H2 is also relatively accurate, which is only for private giant screen cinemas; Secondly, in terms of color display and effect, Hikvision H2 has reached the peak. In the long viewing process, there has not been any vertigo and image deformity. The bright mirror like images and gorgeous color performance make the 3D experience effect as if it were on the scene, and the support for focusing within 1000 degrees is even more powerful; Finally, Hijing H2's open resource platform and huge resource database make it easy for giant screen cinemas to experience private giant screen cinemas. Many advantages are self-evident, but there are still some insignificant points in the experience process. Although the shortcomings do not hide the merits, they still need to be improved. Here are some personal suggestions:

1. It is not very wise to cancel the sponge cover design of the eye mask. The detachable snap sponge cover can be used, so that it can be disassembled according to personal preference.

2. Helmets and rubber goggles are poor in stain resistance. They are simply collectors of fingerprints and grease, which seriously affects the appearance.

3. Although it supports 1000 degree focusing, it can not meet the use requirements when the actual measurement is more than 600 degrees, and the focusing range can be further expanded.

4. There is a bit of ambiguity around the display screen. I hope it can be optimized and improved.

5. VR game resources are scarce. While focusing on the positioning of private theaters, we hope to give consideration to the user experience of game experience and increase the allocation of VR game resources.
