The real world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xia Xuan sat in the computer chair, next to the 24-inch LCD screen on the table, there was a prop he brought out from the dream factory, the Shenying VR headset.

There was a faint doubt in his eyes.

Unboxed with just a helmet and a black leather suit, that's all there are for VR.

He is also half a VR industry person, usually extremely concerned about all kinds of VR information, although he does not have a VR device from htc, oculus and Sony, but he has seen countless out-of-the-box reviews and understands the shortcomings of today's VR equipment.

First of all, VR needs a relatively open space to arrange the "base station".

To put it simply, the "base station" is the signal receiver and laser locator. For example, according to the official data of HTC helmets, the layout of the "base station" requires at least 3*4 meters of space area, and must be installed diagonally, and the distance between the two base stations cannot exceed 5 meters.

Then there are hand-tied controllers, including bracelets, gamepads.

The HTC.vive has done a great job on interactive devices, and it has received rave reviews since its release. However, the current VR headset is also facing a somatosensory collision problem, just to achieve a full perspective is not enough, in addition to vision, other senses, such as touch, smell, these things how to do?

In addition, Ha Hyun did not see the long data connection cable of the Shenying VR headset.

HTC.vive is criticized for its lack of thread, and sometimes it's terrible to get too excited and pull the thread behind your head. Of course, due to the limitations of the existing technology, the VR headset can only be connected to the personal terminal through the cable in order to achieve high-definition picture and low latency!

Obviously, the Shenying VR headset doesn't require cables.

Even, Xia Xuan didn't see the power cord and power adapter of the helmet, which only shows that the technical content of the Shenying VR headset has far exceeded the level of today's earth!

"How does it connect to my computer?" Xia Xuan picked up the Shenying VR headset and couldn't help but sigh softly, a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

The helmet is too light, obviously it is made of metal, and it looks very heavy and textured, but after starting it, it is only about 200 grams, Xia Xuan tried to put it on, and found that it was similar to wearing headphones with a hood, and the praise value soared instantly!

Weight is also an unavoidable problem for VR headsets.

Wearing a heavy VR headset definitely affects the experience, and wearing it for a long time can cause a sore neck. Xia Xuan couldn't believe that this VR headset was actually an early product that Shenying Company had eliminated!

After taking off the helmet and fumbling for a long time, Xia Xuan finally found a hidden signal release button, and after gently clicking it, the desktop computer that had been opened on the table immediately emitted a pleasant "Ding Dong" prompt sound, and a dialog box popped up in the lower right corner of the screen, prompting that a new connected device was plugged in, and the driver was being installed.

"Thank you for purchasing the Shenying VR headset, the driver software is automatically downloaded and installed."

"Installed."

"Please circle the play areas where you can move."

The software interface pops up an overlook of a room, this is Xia Xuan's dedicated computer room, there are not many furnishings and furniture, so the overlook looks open and tidy, Xia Xuan did not hesitate to directly set the whole room as a game area.

"Please wear a somatosensory interactive device." A pop-up prompt.

Somatosensory interactive devices?

Ha Hyun looked at the black leather clothes on the table, is this right?

He picked up the clothes with doubts, tried to open the zipper and put it on his body, the clothes that were originally just a female body shape did not have a sense of blockage during wearing, the material was full of elasticity and malleability, and Xia Xuan did not feel the slightest discomfort after wearing, it was very breathable, which may also be related to the fact that he was wearing cool home clothes.

"Legendary somatosensory clothes?" Ha Hyun swallowed.

The reason why it is legendary is because this kind of interactive equipment is still being conceived, and it is difficult to create a motion capture input device that can match VR with the current state of technology.

Backbite.

"VR resource detected, is it loaded?" A prompt pops up on the computer screen.

Xia Xuan looked at the resource address reminded by the pop-up box, and couldn't help but pat his head and think: "I've been hoarding these resources for a long time, but I didn't expect this helmet to be able to search for them all in such a short time!" ”

He had already put on his helmet, and after choosing to load, a bunch of games and discord videos were arranged in front of him in the form of covers, and if there were other people in the computer room at this time, Xia Hyun could be seen reaching out and his index finger moving against the empty air. Because the somatosensory clothes cover the whole body except for the head, he doesn't need a gamepad.

"Mercenaries loaded."

In the end, Ha Hyun didn't choose the harmony content, but clicked into an FPSVR game.

"Mercenaries" can be described as a big name, but anyone who has purchased the HTC.VIVE helmet or is in the free trial store offline on HTC can play this bundle with VIVE and sell it.

If you follow the industry, it's not hard to know that Mercenaries won the Best Immersive VR Content award at HTC's VR industry event held about two months ago from more than 800 entries.

There is naturally a reason for binding sales, and the positive feedback from many vive users also made Xia Xuan copy game resources to the hard disk early and hoard them, leaving them for use when he has spare money to buy VR equipment.

"It's so real!"

Even though he has played at various exhibitions and experience stores a few times, he can't help but sigh when Ha Hyun appears in the game scene and feels the realism of shooting with a firearm in his hand.

After shooting a few enemies heartily, Ha Hyun suddenly found that the game experience of "Mercenaries" this time was very different from the previous ones!

In a daze, a string of bullets hit his body, Xia Xuan immediately squatted and hid behind the box, then touched his chest with a slight pain, and his eyes widened: "When did Nima's "Mercenaries" have a collision blow ......?" ”

Finally, Hahyun found out that something was wrong.

Keep your head down.

The hand holding the gun was so real, he even tried to throw away the pistol and smashed it the bunker box where he was hiding, bang, the fist was wrapped in the wind, and when the fist collided with the box, both Ha Hyun and the box shook significantly.

That's right, it's a collision!

"Get out of the game!"

Xia Xuan took off his Shenying VR headset and looked stunned.

The three VR devices that are now hot on the market, HTC.vive, GearVR, and OculusRift, actually enhance the user's immersive experience in terms of vision and hearing.

You know, the real concept of virtual reality should include the perception of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste, and it is clear that contemporary virtual reality technology can only work on sight and hearing.

Scientific experiments have shown that the human body accounts for 83% of the total amount of information from the outside world, vision accounts for 11%, and other senses together account for only 6%, which means that when a VR device can perfectly deceive the user's eyes and ears on the simulation, the virtual immersion has been successfully created for more than half.

A large part of the credit for the tactile experience that comes with the Shenying VR headset comes from the somatosensory clothes on Xia Xuan's body.

It's just that Xia Xuan doesn't understand that "Mercenary" logically did not invest in volumetric collision technology during research and development, how can the Shenying VR headset simulate the collision feeling when he is shot and swings the box?

Curiosity came, Ha Hyun took a deep breath and put on his helmet again.

The touch is very likely to be just one of the black technologies contained in the Shenying VR headset, and he is sure that he can find other unexpected things if he experiences it!
