After a series of explorations, the domestic VR all-in-one machine officially entered the optical double 6DoF tracking ranks this year, using its own research visual algorithm, and more and more selection devices, which is also an important turning point in the development of the domestic VR industry. iQIYI Intelligent has released a new optical tracking algorithm since the beginning of this year, and this month it officially launched the amazing picture 3 equipped with the algorithm for the first time, and quickly unveiled it.
Hardware specifications mainstream:
The Adventure 3 is a VR all-in-one that went on sale this year, but the hardware configuration is very generous. Adventure 3 has several advantages over other devices. For example, the dual-screen scheme allows for free adjustment of the pupillary distance.
The main selling points of Adventure 3 at the moment are:
1. The first owner is free to play, and there are currently more than 30 kinds of selected games.
2, dual screen design, pupil distance unauthorized adjustment, single screen 2.89 inches, 21602160 resolution, the highest support 90Hz refresh rate.
3. Snapdragon XR2 chip platform;
4. Self-developed optical tracking scheme;
8GB 128GB storage:
6. Hard elastic band design.
Next, let's look at them separately.
Optimize the wearing experience:
First of all, starting from the appearance, the Adventure 3 has once again been greatly upgraded in design, one of which is a 4-eye optical design, but unlike the scheme around the front panel of the Quest 2 and Neo 3, the amazing encounter 3 4 cameras are located in the middle area of the upper and lower left and right bezels. (David Ash).
Adventure 3 fuselage front panel and elastic band, the rear battery cover around is white, the head looks around and the battery area is very dark light gray, the mask, the rear hair is dark gray, the steering wheel tracking ring is black, the overall design transition looks natural and tidy.
Another improvement is that the new head design is no longer the existing head hoop solution, but the new battery hoop design can be used to distribute weight. The hard-edge lashing program greatly improves wearing comfort, and the Quest 2 requires the purchase of additional accessories. At the same time, the handle can be easily adjusted and tightened.
In fact, the Adventure 3 wearable experience is also the native experience of the 6DoF VR all-in-one I wear. It is reported that the weight of the 3 Adventures is 340 grams, and the weight of the whole machine is 590 grams. Quest 2 is only 509 grams, but swapping flexible rope for hard rope will increase weight, and Adventure 3 can alleviate the player's trouble after purchasing. (David Ash).
At the same time, the front can also be flipped upwards, and in many cases, if you want to confirm the real environment, this design is still very good.
In terms of comfort, the foam material of the fabric is soft, the elastic support effect is good, the softness is medium, the elasticity of the sides is greater, and it is more suitable for the asian face shape, and the wearing feeling is very good.
The back of the head pad is wide and also has a 10-degree adjustable space, which has the advantage that others prefer to wear it on the other back of the head, so it can exert better support. (David Ash). Both the mask and the back of the head can be removed, and the player can wash it themselves later.
There is a heat sink and a power button on the head. There are also hot water inlets, volume control buttons, and pupil distance control sliders underneath the gas.
On the left side of the body there is a USB Type C connector for charging or wired streaming. On the right side of the body is a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
The speakers are located in the middle of the left and right straps, and do not need to be worn, and you can choose to wear your own headphones if the sound quality is required. At the same time, it can be seen that the Adventure 3 supports a fast charge of up to 18W.
Self-developed Inside-Out tracks location
As mentioned earlier, the Adventure 3-4 cameras are located in the 4-sided center area, and the steering wheel is also redesigned, using the steering wheel of the Vive Focus Plus directly in the Adventure 2 pro.
The ergonomic design of the Adventure Three handle is good, fits the palm of the hand, the volume is just right, the trigger and side key feedback is appropriate, and the press feels good.
The setting keys are also the standard AB/XY menu/home joystick, and the handle is powered by a single AA battery. The battery compartment adopts magnetic design, which is very convenient to install firmly. Regarding the battery life of the head, the actual test experience game is about 2 hours, and the battery life will be longer if you watch the video.
Visual Experience:
Adventure 3 features a dual-screen design compared to several other 6DoF VR all-in-ones. The advantage of this design is that it can support the free adjustment of the pupillary distance. This is more user-friendly than other single-screen VR. (Albert Einstein, American writer).
The corresponding visual experience will also be better. Accidental encounters support adjusting the pupillary distance of 58-72 mm, while the Quest 2 has only 3 fixed pupillary distances. Adventure 3 can better meet the viewing needs of users, including meeting the pupillary distance between adults and children in the family. (Shakespeare).
The clarity is still excellent. Monocular 21602160 resolution screen, binocular 43202160 resolution, size 2.89 inches, PPI of 1058, better than most 6DoF VR all-in-one.
Visual performance At present, some VR all-in-one machines use a fixed center area to render. That is, the center area renders at full resolution and the edge area renders at lower resolution. At that time, the clear area seen in the middle of Adventure 3 was still relatively large, and there was no slight shaking of the head to reduce the sharpness.
At the same time, the two screens can also achieve a larger viewing angle, the amazing encounter 3 has a viewing angle of 115 degrees, which actually feels slightly wider than the Quest 2.
Adventure 3 hardware supports up to 90Hz refresh rate, the current version has not yet been released, and will be pushed through software updates in the future.
Overall, the Adventure 3 hardware is rounded in design, lightweight in body, better in wearing, and positioning performance, but there is still some room for optimization. (David Arje, Northern Exposure, Market) adopts a free-to-play strategy for content, with players having unlimited access to more than 30 games in the content library and an official commitment to play new free-to-play games in subsequent months. Therefore, the starting price of 3399 yuan is also a good choice for players who like taste and want to experience different kinds of VR games.
