by I have played with many kinds of
VR devices. At present, the most concerned is the Oculus series. DK1 and DK2 have been included before, and now I have ordered the Oculus consumer version, but Oculus also has a branch series, which is the cooperation with Samsung. The GEAR VR series has never been touched before. So while waiting for the Oculus consumer version, I added a GEAR VR experience. Let's unpack the box first.
Samsung's VR products have reached the third generation today, and they are the flagship mobile phones that are adapted to different stages of Samsung. The third generation is compatible with 4 Samsung mobile phones, namely Note5, S6 edge+, S6 edge, and S6. It is clearly written on the package. The
VR technology benefits from the true transmission of Oculus, and the effect must be good.
Some simple product introductions and health reminders. The interior of the
box is very compact and light. This is also one of the main selling points of the third generation of GEAR VR. Compared with the previous generation, the weight is reduced by 22% and it is more comfortable to wear. In addition to the host,
are paper products and 2 elastic bands. The new machine
is basically covered with a protective film, and the protective film is on the inside and out, which makes it cool to tear. On the right side of the
glasses, there are centralized control buttons. The middle of the
cross direction key is the confirm key. The
direction key has an independent return key diagonally above the direction key, which is easy to find and easy to operate blindly.
There is a volume control button at the front of the arrow keys. There is a rotating adjustment wheel on the top of the
glasses to adjust the focus. In fact, it is to control the front and back movement of the mobile phone bracket.
The parts of the GEAR VR logo on the left side of the glasses and the Oculus logo
that contact the skin are wrapped in a soft bag, and this part is pasted with the glasses itself through a Velcro, which can be easily removed for cleaning. The front cover of
is pulled down gently, you can directly see the two lenses and the locking system.
Compared with some other mobile phone-based VR devices, the biggest difference between Samsung GEAR VR is that it is not just an optical device. There are other components in GEAR VR that need to communicate with the mobile phone via micro-usb. Including the attitude sensor that samples 1000 times per second, the delay is reduced to less than 20 milliseconds. Compared with those glasses that are just optical devices that rely on the mobile phone's own gyroscope to determine the attitude, this design will greatly improve the response speed and reduce the delay. Thereby reducing dizziness.
In addition, there is a light sensor in the center of the two lenses, which senses whether the user is wearing a GEAR VR, and automatically turns off the screen if not. (But I thought it was troublesome, so I stuck it with a black tape. It would be more convenient for others to try it on after debugging.)
Tie up the two random elastic bands. The mobile phone supported by
is plugged into the GEAR VR
. The front cover is just to look good. In fact, it does not matter.
When the mobile phone is plugged into GEAR VR for the first time, you will see a prompt, so you can remove the mobile phone and install the corresponding software.
was relatively smooth at first, the simplified Chinese version of
download several necessary components are also OK
but the installation is complete, the actual startup is completely different. There is no Chinese, and you must use the Internet scientifically! Go online scientifically! Go online scientifically! Without the scientific ability to surf the Internet, no function can be used.
scientifically go online to register and log in to the oculus account (this accountThe account on the official website of Oculus is the same. If you have bought other Oculus products before, you can log in directly)
If you can’t go online scientifically, you won’t be able to see the application store, and all the software can’t be downloaded. And all Oculus applications are authenticated by device ID, which means that software downloaded by others cannot be copied and installed on your machine. You must connect to the store to download it yourself! Therefore, if you want to make good use of GEAR VR, it is most important to have a stable and scientific way to surf the Internet. Stability is the number one priority. Don’t stop constantly. This store’s resumable downloads are not well done. If the internet is disconnected frequently, it is very likely that you will need to download again.
Store contains all certified Oculus GEAR VR applications. After downloading, they appear in the Library and are divided into four categories: video, experience, game, and application.
After downloading a few applications, plug the phone back into the GEAR VR glasses. There will be a safety prompt first. After entering the main interface
, you are in a large house. The hollow of the roof just reflects an O on the ground, representing oculus. The menu is similar to win8 tiles. On the left is the store entrance, the downloaded apps are in the Library on the right, and in the middle are the most recently used apps and Oculus recommendations.
I have downloaded a lot of applications through the Internet through science, and the application size is not small, the large ones are more than 2G, and the small ones are generally over 100 MB.
press the return key to call out the shortcut menu at any time. From left to right are: back to homepage, penetration, relocation, mobile phone message do not disturb, brightness adjustment.
The "see through" function is quite funny, that is, you can shoot directly with the camera on the back of the phone and display it on the GEAR VR screen, that is, you can see outside without removing the GEAR VR. However, because the back of the phone is a single camera, the content shot is also 2D.
Let's take a look at other GEAR VR applications. Oculus Video is definitely a highlight, allowing users to enjoy the video on your phone as if in a theater. But if you want to use it well, you still need to know some experience. The movies in
mobile phone can be seen in "My Videos". But these contents must be in the following directories.
Folder on the phone:
/DCIM/
/Movies/
/Oculus/Movies/
Folder on the SD card:
/DCIM/
/Movies/
/Oculus/Movies/
2 currently supports the following 0 video formats .mp4 .m4v .3gp .3g2 .ts .webm .mkv .wmv .asf .avi .flv
The txt format file and the movie are placed in the same directory. For example, for vrerse.mp4, create a txt format file vrerse.txt, and add the following content:
{
"XX": "3D"
}
XX to adjust as follows:
"3D": ordinary left and right format 3D movie
" 3DLR": normal left-right format 3D movie (same as “3D”)
“3DLRF”: full-screen left-right format 3D movie
“3DTB”: normal top-bottom format 3D movie
“3DTBF”: full-screen top-down format 3D movie
also has many games, some of which require an external Bluetooth handle to control, some of which can be simply controlled by the cross key on the side of GEAR VR.
temple escaped, presumably everyone has played it. But the VR version experience is very different. Not only is it more realistic and exciting, but you can really see the monster chasing you when you look back! ! ! !
There is also this VR arcade hall. There are many old arcade games that need to be operated via Bluetooth handles.
Press the button on the handle, and the button on the arcade machine will follow it.
is a VR RPG game, I haven't played the
VR shooting game
head control aiming, Bluetooth handle or arrow keys to shoot.
also has many panoramic videos. For example, this LBJ video
is like training with LBJ, throwing the ball in front of me, and looking back, you can see the ball into the frame. There are dunks and so on over your head. . .
also has many apps that use VR, such as this VR browser.
In short, GEAR VR has given me a very good experience, and many high-quality applications and content have left N streets of other products. Lightweight design, comfortable wearing, low latency brought by high-speed sensors, and the high-resolution screen of Samsung’s flagship mobile phone itself make the entire product an absolute leader in today’s independent VR devices, compared to various domestic XX mirrors. Said it is a world of difference. The only regret is that you must be able to surf the Internet scientifically! There must be a stable line! ! Otherwise it can't be used at all! ! !
strongly recommend to buy, provided that you find a good line first.
