This week, VR circles are heavyweight news. Samsung first released the Galaxy Note 7 and the second-generation Gear VR. Xiaomi released the “Young VR box,†and Valve made a big deal on the last day of the week. News, opened the Lighthouse tracking system, let immersive weekly review with you!
The new Gear VR and Galaxy Note 7 come together. All you need to know is here. On the night of August 2nd, together with the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung officially released the new Gear VR head display. The new Gear VR is equipped with an upgraded touch version that supports USB Type-C and slightly expands the viewing angle. The price is still $99, and the time-to-market is August 19, and the booking will begin on the second day after release.
Compared with the old models, this time the all-black color scheme (both inside and outside) was adopted. The biggest change is to support the USB-C interface and the connection to the phone becomes modular. The new Gear VR can work directly with Note 7 using its Type-C interface.
Samsung has not forgotten the old users and added a Micro USB connector for the new model, allowing it to support Note 5 and other S7 and S6 phones backwards. And this connector is not an adapter, but it is built into the Gear VR and you can pull it out for use with older phones.
The new Gear VR was replaced with a black with some blue color for a reason. Samsung said this is because some users complained that the white color of internal use will reflect light and affect immersion. The washers used for the head display are softer and thicker this time, making the wearing experience more comfortable.
Millet VR glasses toy version officially announced: zipper design + Lycra cotton material At 10:00 on August 4th, Xiaomi VR's official Weibo officially announced the toy version of VR glasses, mainly using a zipper design and Lycra cotton material, and open beta.
A Cardboard with a zipper design combined with Lycra fabric. Many questions have been raised in the industry. Some people questioned whether Xiaomi had warmed up for so long that only Cardboard was released, and some articles analyzed that the ambition behind Xiaomi's $49 VR box was content platform.
In response to these questions, immersive interview with Li Qi, Xiaomi VR market operations director. He disclosed that the 8-hour reservation for the 1 yuan beta of the millet VR toy version exceeded 1 million on the first day of 8 hours, and said that the higher-end official version of the box will soon meet with you, and the all-in-one and panoramic camera are also planned.
Lighthouse is already open. How do people in the industry see this? HTC Vive has earned a reputation in the VR industry. The most important reason is the Lighthouse tracking system, which was quoted by CNET reporter Scott Stein:
If you want to experience the best VR devices, Vive can cover the whole room motion tracking, which is currently far more than Oculus.
Other similar evaluations are numerous and we can see that the Lighthouse tracking system is important for HTC Vive. However, Valve made a big news today. It announced the opening of its own Lighthouse tracking system, allowing other VR devices to use this system for location tracking. This means that developers can make third-party controllers for Vive and they don’t charge anything at all.
Dr. Noordin CTO Dr. Dai Ruoli said: “Valve's opening up the Lighthouse tracking system is a matter of time and the Lighthouse Tower will be open in the future, so we are not surprised at this. After all, SteamVR is a gaming platform. Of course, it is better that more and more vendors are coming in. In the short term, it is also beneficial for HTC, which will encourage more and more third-party manufacturers to develop peripherals for Vive."
Immersion interviewed Wang Congqing, general manager of China, who responded to the news event as follows:
Valve just opens the Lighthouse tracking system instead of open source; third-party hardware vendors can plug their hardware into HTC Vive (somewhat similar to MFi, Apple Certified), so third-party helmets cannot use the Lighthouse tracking system.
