introduction
With the development of virtual display technology, more and more VR devices are in front of the public. At CES 2016, although VR devices occupy a large exhibition hall, the displayed VR products are expensive. Most people only stay in the concept stage for VR and there are few opportunities for personal experience. In the past two years, with the development of domestic VR equipment, there have been many consumer-level VR products. Storm mirror is one of them. The Storm Mirror 4 released this year is a VR device that everyone can afford. I just recently received a Gold Edition of the Storm 4 Gold Edition. Here are some of my experiences.
Out of the box
The author's product is the storm mirror 4 Gold Edition Android model, the entire product packaging is divided into two layers, the outer layer is a paper packaging bag, easy to pull and carry, the inner layer is a product packaging box, built-in host and accessories. On the front of the bag is printed the product model "storm mirror 4 Gold Edition".
The information on the box is more detailed, and the product's appearance and model number are all identified. You can see the basic shape of the Gold Mirror 4 Gold Edition. Open the box with the headband, manual and main unit in the middle, and the left and right sides are the headset and the Bluetooth handle.
Storm mirror 4 Gold Edition is 300 yuan more expensive than the regular edition. This 300 yuan is not only the same as the exterior design. The gold version of Storm 4 is also more abundant than the regular edition. In addition to the basic host, headband, Bluetooth handle, battery, usage instructions and cleaning cloth, headphones and a $100 magic bean card are also presented.
Exterior
Although the Storm mirror product replacement is very fast, the difference between the Storm mirror 4 and previous generations of products is not great. Compared with previous generations of products, the most striking change in the appearance of Storm Mirror 4 is the front frame. It is no longer a fully enclosed design, but left an opening on both sides, and can be used to directly adjust the phone's Location, plugging and unplugging headphones is also a lot easier. In addition, heat dissipation has also improved.
Storm Mirror 4 Gold Edition adds stylish local gold to the classic black and white color scheme. Storm mirror 4 uses thermoplastic polymer material-ABS and PC material with good resistance to thermal distortion. It is characterized by thinness, high strength, and good toughness. In the upper right corner is the pupil adjustment knob, and the left and right rotation adjusts to a clear picture.
The headband of Storm Gold 4 Gold Edition is also made of plastic material, the inside is a high-rebound sponge, and the shape is more like an exposed sun hat. Behind the headband, there is a knob. We can adjust the size of the headband, but if the user is lying down, it would be very embarrassing. For example, lying on a mat and lying on the sofa would be very uncomfortable.
Although the headband design of Storm Mirror 4 Gold Edition is very novel, but the adjustment is too tight and stressful, too loose and easy to slip, so you need to use the "degree".
Taking into account the possible light leakage of the glasses during use during the day and the possible discomfort of the sponge material, the previous sponge pads were replaced with medical grade silicone. The actual wearing experience feels good, even if worn for a long time, it will not produce discomfort like normal silicone material.
The author put the phone into his hands, and he just felt it when he was wearing it. After a short period of time, he felt that the head was heavy and he needed to take a rest. The storm mirror 4 gold version reserves a relatively large space in the front cover, supports 4.7 - 5.5 inch screen of the mainstream smart phones, if the phone size is small, you can use the accompanying accessories to increase the mobile phone to Achieve the best visual experience.
Storm mirror 4 Gold Edition comes standard with Bluetooth remote control, black and white color matching with the host is very tune. With Bluetooth wireless connection, the operation is more flexible. The bluetooth remote controller equipped with Storm Gold 4 Gold Edition has a good grip. The confirmation key is set at the top, which can avoid the use of a late return key. Increasing the area of ​​the confirmation key can be better controlled. But if you play a shooting game, continuous shooting may make your hands very tired.
The Storm Mirror 4 Gold Edition is also equipped with Storm headphones, used with Storm Mirror. Storm headphones can be freely rotated, adjusted according to their needs, feel comfortable after wearing.
Connect your phone
Before using, we need to connect the mobile phone and remote controller via Bluetooth. The author is a storm mirror 4 gold version for Android models, it stands to reason that it should fit most of the mainstream models, I have tested several Android phones, only some models can connect to the Bluetooth remote control, visible storm mirror 4 There is room for improvement in adaptability.
1, mobile download storm mirror APP
2, Bluetooth pairing to connect the phone
Press and hold the remote control for 3 seconds to turn it on; turn on the phone Bluetooth and search for a device named “mojing4-A†and enter the pairing password: 0000 to connect.
3, open storm mirror APP
4, select the magic mirror model and calibrate the gyroscope
For the first time, we can view the "Help" tutorial, which includes video tutorials on how to connect mobile phones, gyro calibration, etc. In detail, even those users who have not been exposed to VR can learn how to operate the video.
VR market
After entering the APP main interface is the Storm's VR market, which includes four categories: online cinema, 360° panorama, games, and local. All kinds of videos and games and other resources need to be downloaded in the “VR marketâ€. Some resources set purchase rights. Users need to download magic beans before downloading, and 100 magic beans cost 10 yuan.
This machine comes with just a few simple resource experiences. Therefore, if you want to experience the world of VR in depth, you still need to use external video. Resources downloaded through the VR market will generally be stored in the software app, but some of the larger games will appear on the mobile phone desktop as a separate App game icon after the download and installation are complete.
Operation & Experience
The preparations are completed, and then enter today's theme to experience the VR world brought by the Golden Mirror 4.
Select “Enter Magic Mirror†on the mobile phone and place it in the storm mirror. Use the remote control to operate it. The main interface has a feeling of being in it, moving the position and turning the head to see different positions.
The main interface includes online cinema, local video, games, panoramic video, panoramic roaming, and panoramic pictures. The author then performed a variety of functions such as panoramic pictures, panoramic videos, panorama roaming, games, and online cinema.
Panoramic picture
Experienced, the storm mirror 4 very clear picture, 96-degree FOV makes the perspective significantly wider, immersive feeling is very good.
Panoramic video
The panoramic video gives people a feeling of being in it. It feels good to experience it. Because it is immersive, so the sense of sight and shock will be more intense. One of the downsides is that the head control operation of Storm 4 is occasionally delayed, so we need to adjust the posture to adapt to the product. In addition, depending on personal experience, some people may feel dizzy for a while, so it is recommended to take a break every 30 minutes.
Panorama roaming
Panorama roaming is similar to panoramic video, except that panorama roaming can support movement over a range of distances and directions. We can choose a certain resource to roam, especially the resources of the attractions, and we can visit the mountains and rivers without leaving the house. It feels good. The number of resources is relatively large and there are many options available.
game
The VR market of Storm Gold Mirror 4 Gold Edition also provides some game resources, although the number is not comparable to mobile games, but some of the types are available, you can choose the game to download and play according to your preferences.
I chose the "VR tank", the game screen is still smooth, but there will be some delay in the shooting operation, the need for good cooperation with the head and hands, after a period of trial play will appear dizzy, it seems, in the VR equipment There is still a long way to go to experience the fun of the game.
Online cinema
The basic part of online cinema is to place a screen in a virtual space to play 2D video. The feeling of watching a movie is like “one person’s movie theaterâ€. Since it is an online video, there is a buffer when playing a movie, and in addition, the problem of delayed head control operation also appears here. Therefore, the experience of using a VR device to watch an online video does not have a good experience of a local video.
to sum up
As a consumer-grade VR device of 499 yuan, Storm 4 lets the author experience a virtual reality. Although there is still much room for improvement in the Golden Mirror version of the Storm, it is undeniable that Storm Mirror 4 has made many improvements in the previous generation of products, and the user experience has also been improved a lot.
As far as the author's two-day experience is concerned, the overall performance of Storm Mirror 4 is not bad, although occasionally the head control and remote control recognition is not very accurate, but it is still within the acceptable range. At the same time, the effect of experience has a lot to do with the adaptability of mobile phones. There are few film sources, the video quality needs to be improved, and the long-time use has a feeling of dizziness. These are shortcomings of current VR devices.
Returning to the product itself, the Golden Mirror 4 is not a surprise or a disappointment but a novel experience. The price of 499 yuan is equipped with a full set of products for VR experience. Compared to VR devices with several tens of millions of foreign equipment, Storm Mirror 4 can be said to be more cost-effective. If you want to experience a virtual reality, storm mirror is a good starting point. Of course, if the headset and other peripherals are fully equipped and you only need a VR, the $199 Stormstorm Mirror 4 is probably more suitable for you.
