There are many kinds of VR glasses that we are familiar with, including the simplest mobile phone VR box, the VR headset used with game consoles, and the VR all-in-one machine that integrates content storage and display output. The hardware combination of the above VR devices will inevitably take into account the weight, portability, wearing comfort and other factors of wearable devices, limited by the current level of technology, VR devices want to do everything, which will inevitably be accompanied by high costs and product positioning beyond the consumer level, consumers will pay much higher costs than traditional display & entertainment devices.
Therefore, starting from specific scenes, the VR "sub-categories" such as head-mounted theaters and game headsets that are born may be more cost-effective solutions at present. Some time ago, we evaluated a Skyworth VR glasses V901, which adopts a classic VR configuration of head-worn cinematic style and covers mainstream daily entertainment scenes in terms of hardware combination.
Open the package to remove the fuselage and accessories, the V901 is packaged with a fuselage, 3DoF somatosensory remote control handle, battery, power adapter and USB charging cable, headset, eyepiece wiper cloth and instruction manual.
The body of the V901 is made of matte matte black, and the front of the fuselage has the Skyworth Logo and a pore-like heat dissipation grid covering more than half of the area, and the hardware that undertakes the main functions such as display and system operation are hidden in it.
Coming to the left side of the wearing direction of the fuselage, a Micro USB interface is set up near the leading edge for charging and data transmission, and a 3.5mm headphone interface is used for audio output, and a strip hole for the headset is designed near the rear eyecup, and the hole is also designed in the corresponding position on the right and top of the fuselage. On the right side of the wear direction, it is equipped with three functional buttons, from top to bottom, which are return, OK and Home buttons, and the design of the button surface is slightly different, with different touches to enhance the accuracy of blind operation.
The leading edge of the bottom of the fuselage is distributed with two functional glasses and a storage expansion slot. On the right side of the bottom of the wear direction is the volume plus or minus key, in the middle is the fuselage power button, and on the left is the Micro SD/TF card slot, which can support up to 256GB of storage expansion, providing massive local content space.
Head to the eyepiece area at the rear of the V901, which is also an area that comes into direct contact with our faces and provides an audiovisual experience. It includes a distance sensor in the middle that makes the screen light up only when we wear it; Two aspherical lenses corresponding to both eyes, bringing high-quality visual experience with high optical quality; As well as a large area of soft masks on the periphery, the actual wear experience is soft and comfortable, and the shading and sealing are good.
In addition, according to the data, the overall weight of the body of Skyworth VR glasses V901 (including head wear and mask) is about 403.8g, which is lighter than similar VR all-in-one equipment and can bring users a lower wearing burden.
Skyworth VR glasses V901, which combines a powerful sense of visual immersion, 8K decoding and playback function, and rich somatosensory sensors, has a price of only 2199 yuan in the online self-operated store, which can be said to be surprising and also breaks our expensive impression of high-quality and high-experience VR equipment. Allowing more people to experience extended reality technologies, including VR, and even generating curiosity and attention, will be another value that this cost-effective product brings to the VR market.
