Xiao Bian deeply experienced WASD steel cymbal experience new era of VR

VR is Virtual Reality. Even though 2016 is known as the year in which VR virtual reality technology is implemented, the vast majority of ordinary players still cannot touch VR and experience VR. The reason is not because your computer hardware is too low to meet the requirements of VR, and the vast majority of PCs in the market are. Fortunately, more and more VR-capable hosts are starting to emerge. Hewlett-Packard recently launched a product called WASD Steel.

In order to ensure fluency in the VR experience, the harsh requirements for host hardware configuration are naturally quite high. This Hewlett-Packard WASD steel shovel uses Intel's sixth-generation Skylake platform Core i7 6700K processor, equipped with 2 × 8GB DDR4-2133MHz memory, 128GB Lite SSD, 3TB mechanical hard drive, graphics card uses NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980Ti graphics card . So how does this HP WASD steel smasher actually experience the process? Let's take a look at Xiaobian.

Conclusion First: The HP WASD steel lining has a low-profile appearance, a simple design, and an all-over vertical layout that provides good heat dissipation and scalability. Powerful performance, equipped with Intel's sixth-generation Skylake platform Core i7 6700K processor, 2 x 8GB DDR4-2133MHz memory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980Ti graphics card, is really your best partner for virtual experience!

All vertical appearance is simple but not simple

At present, the Gaming desktops on the market have a variety of appearances, and most of them adopt a seemingly cool and alien design. However, the HP WASD steel has another way, the design is simple, and the all-metal drawing process is adopted. It looks square and angular.

The front side of the main unit is equipped with a hollow breathing light to show the light strips. After the lights are on, the breathing light will be transformed into different colors according to the temperature.

The upper part of the entire WASD steel shovel is designed to be very beautiful and beautiful. The top I/O interface part has a mirror design, and the interfaces are also available. There are 6 USB2.0 interfaces and 4 USB 3.0 ports. In addition to the interface, there are three audio jacks, a headphone/microphone combo jack and a network cable interface. The upper groove-shaped depression design is also very user-friendly. The user can put some temporary things in it, such as U disk, Mobile power can be placed directly here.

Because the entire host uses an all-vertical component layout, effectively and rationally utilizes the space inside the chassis, this HP WASD chassis looks much smaller than other special-shaped chassis, saving a lot for home users. space. On the other hand, the HP WASD steel stencil adopts a screw-free hard disk design, which is very convenient for users to expand and replace.

Hewlett-Packard WASD steel shovel uses Intel's sixth-generation Skylake platform Core i7 6700K processor, equipped with 2 × 8GB DDR4-2133MHz memory, 128GB Lite SSD, 3TB mechanical hard drive, the graphics card uses the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980Ti graphics card. HP WASD steel shovel equipped with a new high-end motherboard Intel 100 series high-end Z170 motherboard, up to 4090x2160 Ultra HD 4K resolution.

In addition, it needs special mention that, because of the small size of the HP WASD steel skeletal body, but it is more conducive to the machine's heat dissipation, vertical design is effective and reasonable use of the space inside the chassis, air circulation without barriers, It is also conducive to heat dissipation and ventilation between components, so that the cooling effect is better. At the same time, this machine is equipped with water-cooling technology, which greatly improves the cooling effect. During use, the machine is very quiet and the overall noise control of the machine is very good.

VR in-depth experience of the most realistic virtual world

For the general public, virtual reality (VR) seems to be visible only in sci-fi movies. Many people still think that virtual reality technology is still the imaginary future technology. The arrival of VR wearable devices naturally matches the performance of high-performance computers. There are also many enthusiasts who say that the high performance of the host computers is a big deal. I can DIY as well. Is this really the case? The answer is obvious, it is not. Even if you have a high-performance host, it may not be compatible with the existing wearable VR devices on the market.

The launch of HP's WASD steel lining is just the right time to catch the hot spot. Through hand in hand with HTC's virtual reality system, Vive, HP's WASD steel lining can provide gamers with a unique and realistic VR experience. With the space scanning tracking function, together with the photosensitive sensor on the headset and the controller, you can track the user's activity in a 3D space with a 360-degree movement position, however, these require the HP WASD steel to optimize the performance of the driver through large calculations. And power configuration, in order to allow game players to obtain an extraordinary gaming experience. At the same time, since the WASD steel lining itself is affixed to the VR property settings, there is no need to adjust the power supply to "high performance" to get a smooth, uninterrupted virtual gaming experience.

Xiao Bian has the privilege of participating in an HP-hosted WASD Steel/Pan PM interview and VR experience. The shock brought to Xiao Bian in the final VR experience session is not much. With wearing VR devices, it is just like being in a virtual world. The picture in front of you is real and solid, and as you turn and move, the picture in front of you will change. This is true freedom. virtual reality.

As we all know, good VR experience needs to solve the resolution problem, VR brings a sense of stereoscopic sense of the strong sense of substitution, and HP WASD steel cymbal carrying a new framework high-end motherboard Intel 100 series high-end Z170 motherboard, up to 4090x2160 Ultra HD 4K Resolution, reduced visual graininess, plus its large memory, can well ensure faster transfer of game data, allowing players to appreciate the quality of movie-like games.

Unlike the early VR experience, the process of HP WASD's virtual experience with vive's virtual experience is free to move within a certain range. Players participate in games or enjoy the beauty in the virtual world through wearable devices connected to WASD steel linings. The sunken ship that lays on the coral reefs, the huge whales that swim around, or the robots that are in urgent need of your hands to repair, can be displaced at any time. Stunning visual effects and a smooth gaming experience make participants feel like they are on the ground.

It must be mentioned that the VR wearable glasses at the present stage are only the device side, and they really carry a huge amount of calculations, so that you can experience the smooth virtual world or the other end of the data line connection - the HP WASD steel plate, along with VR With the popularization of equipment and the gradual maturity of this market, games and video resources will be gradually enriched. Hewlett-Packard said that WASD Steel, as the host for the birth of the VR experience, will help users fill VR fresh content at the first time, saving users' cost and time. The WASD steel lining itself also has good scalability and DIY performance. The vertical layout of the host allows users to expand the performance. The Z series boards used in the mainboard of the main body support overclocking, and the powerful water-cooled configuration also allows heat dissipation. optimize. While today's PC market also places a great emphasis on differentiated functionality and design, the emergence of HP's steel shovels also reflects a serious attitude towards players and users. Whether you are just a player who wants to experience VR or a DIY fancier, I believe that WASD Steel will be a good choice for you.
