As we all know, split XR products require a computing unit. The earliest PC VR was connected to PC. Later, VR and AR gradually adopted a split design to separate the computing unit and the headset. The original purpose was to make the headset lighter and smaller (relative) and make the computing unit stronger (relative).

PICO's first generation Neo VR adopts a split-type design. At that time, the shape was a handle shape, so the concept of a split-type computing unit is not new. However, when BB products are connected to mobile phones, they often choose mobile phones because of DP and other functions. Therefore, each BB product will list its own supported models, and users who no longer support the list will not be able to choose. The method of

Rokid Station is lightweight, because BB solution products are more focused on viewing or displaying, so the computing unit does not require strong performance. In fact, many TV set-top box chips are very suitable. The CPU model has not been announced at present, the storage specification is 2+32GB, supports Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0, and supports wireless screen projection gameplay. In addition, HDMI devices can also be connected through USB Type C to HDMI adapter.

Rokid Station mainly solves the complex problem of BB-compatible mobile phone models, and also the problem of iPhone support. In terms of functions, it mainly focuses on movie viewing applications and cloud streaming services, which also support Alibaba Cloud Shadowless Cloud Computers and cloud gaming services (guessing it may be NetEase Cloud Games). Therefore, the cloud services of the latter two do not have high requirements for comprehensive performance, but have higher requirements for video encoding and decoding.

Overall, the overall design of Rokid Station is pretty good. It can be used as a gamepad when you go over it. Of course, the heating problem is also worth paying attention to. Built-in 5000mAh battery, with a battery life of 5 hours. The price of 799 yuan is expected, but I think the price of 2999 yuan set can actually be continued in the future to enhance overall competitiveness.
