Zhidong reported on March 2 that Wang Kai, vice president of Dream Bloom, revealed that the new flagship product of QIYU MR will be released in April this year. And just three months ago, in December 2022, Dream Bloom launched its first MR headset MIX. It can be seen that the iteration speed of the new headset of the QIYU VR series is very fast.
QIYU MIX headset
Unlike the previous generation of QIYU Dream Pro, the QIYU MIX console is equipped with two 16-megapixel perspective full-color cameras, making the headset look more recognizable. QIYU MIX's MR feature is also one of its biggest highlights. In addition, QIYU MIX launched "three years of lying play" to allow more users to enjoy the joy of VR games.
What new ways to play will MR bring? What is there to expect from QIYU MIX? Zhidong recently got QIYU MIX and had an in-depth experience for several weeks.
First, watching dinosaurs at home, wearing is more comfortable, MR mode returns to reality in a second
Wearing the QIYU MIX, I feel that the drop feeling of the headset this time is much reduced, and the head comfort has also improved. After carefully comparing the Dream Pro and QIYU MIX, I found that the main reason was the addition of a stabilizer to the rear of the headset. In addition, the foam foam on the front of the QIYU MIX headset has been slightly adjusted, and the shading effect around the eyes is better and moderately improved.

When we enter QIYU MIX's home, we will find that the previous semi-closed home design has become an open panoramic home. You can choose the right place to dress up your home.

QIYU has also optimized its main menu page with a number of new quick features. You can turn on perspective mode with one click and "go back" to the real world.
QIYU MIX perspective mode
During use, perspective mode provides some convenience during long-term use of VR headsets. For example, halfway through the game, we may need to open the door to get something. For example, if you need to reply to a message with your phone, perspective mode will provide a faster way to enter the real world.
In addition, in the app store, we also see a lot of MR content applications. For example, lifelike dinosaurs can help children learn about different dinosaur species. For example, some advertisers and marketers can promote their products through MR posters.

Second, 3D immersive movie viewing, "see the world" without leaving home
On weekend afternoons, I tried to watch the 3D version of Avatar 2 with QIYU MIX. In the process of watching the movie, I found that the overall viewing effect of 3D movies is similar to that of IMAX theater, but it is best to connect external headphone equipment, or you can try to put your hands on your ears, the sound effect is better.
At present, QIYU MIX Cinema has supported many 3D movies such as "Avatar 2" and "2012". Compared with before, the resources of the 3D movie library are also much richer.
In addition to 3D movies, VR videos are no longer limited to watching videos on a larger screen, but also have 180-degree immersive videos, 360-degree immersive tours, and interactive videos and other interactive methods.
See the aurora in MIX
When I experience standing in the snow and watching the Northern Lights, I can feel the magnificence of the Northern Lights. When I stand on stage and listen to live performances, I have more direct contact with my favorite singers. The rich VR content can help users enjoy some temporary "unreachable" happiness, and of course, it can also save me a lot of ticket costs.
Third, online battles have become a popular game type, and VR game users have increased significantly
Opening VR games, we can intuitively feel the obvious increase in games, game types and game users in the VR market. Early last year, when I opened an online VR game, the game plaza was often empty, and it often took more than 15 minutes for a game match.
However, when I try many games such as "Dream World" and "Play Mellot's Party", the game square is quite lively. You can hear some elementary school students recruiting partners in the square, you can also hear some middle-aged people talking to each other, and the matching time of the game is basically 3-5 minutes.
At the same time, in some metaverse social games, I can feel the feeling of "continuing" countless metaverses within the metaverse. For example, if QIYU MIX itself is an initial starting point, you get another starting point when you enter the app, so you may have not only one avatar, but also many opportunities to try different ways of interacting.
Personalized character design
In addition, many traditional media and audio-visual companies are also integrating with the meta-universe, and we saw Mango Satellite TV's "Mango Phantom City Advance Edition" in the app store, and many variety shows in Mango Satellite TV are linked with "Mango Phantom City". Although the content in the app is still limited, it also gives users a lot of room for imagination.
Conclusion: The VR content industry is developing at an accelerated pace
By experiencing QIYU MIX in depth, we can find that the VR market in 2022 has indeed driven the entire VR industry to rapid development. QIYU VR series relies on its own rich content resource library and promotes the development of the industry by supporting related game studios. Nowadays, the VR content inside QIYU MAX is significantly enriched, VR games are diversified, and VR users have increased significantly.
With the addition of Meta, Sony, Apple, and Samsung, it can be seen that in the next three years, the VR industry will continue to accelerate. Among them, the optical display, battery life and other problems that have plagued the industry for a long time will inevitably have new solutions, and the combination of VR equipment and all walks of life will emerge more sparks, which is inseparable from the development of VR startups such as dream bloom.
