HTC VIVE first experience

While it’s okay today, I bought a 30-minute vive experience voucher in two words: very good value.
Of course, thanks to a carefully guided boss It made my experience so shocking. After all, I played it for the first time, and an old driver like the boss showed me the way, and I can quickly enter the state.

When I arrived at the boss’s shop, the boss first briefly introduced vive helmet, and then help me wear it on my head.

The vive helmet looks like a lot of materials, but it’s better to wear It is quite light, so it will not be so tiring to wear for a long time. The catch is that the thread behind the helmet is placed there, which makes a lot of comfort.

< /p>

After putting on the helmet, a virtual three-dimensional space is displayed in front of you.

Then the boss asked me to hold the vive handle with both hands, and introduced me to the functions of the buttons on the handle in turn. Fortunately, there are not many buttons, which didn’t make my brain confused. After holding the handle, the main screen in front of me will show the handle. Looking at the handle that appeared, I was still a little puzzled: Is the handle just black? Why on the screen It turned into a white handle. It turned out that the white handle was virtual, but it was fake. The virtual handle will emit a ray pointing to the screen for use as a mouse. Holding the handle is like holding a lightsaber of a Jedi.

The boss told me, let’s experience the visual demo of Vive first, don’t need to do any operation, and see how it feels to watch Deep Sea Big Whale in Vive. I use the handle to point to the one in front of me There is a whale icon, I clicked to confirm, and I entered the bottom of the sea before my eyes. At this moment, I was standing on a sunken ship, surrounded by a group of small fishes, and they were swimming around. I held the handle and waved towards the school of fish. After a while, the school of fish was frightened away. Just as I was teasing the little fish around, a huge figure suddenly appeared in the distance. Yes, it was the protagonist, the big whale.

The big whale swam by your side, and looked at me affectionately for a few seconds, seemingly moved by my affection, and when I left, I used its huge tail to sink the ship gently Kiss, the railing of the sunken ship was almost slapped down, which surprised me.

The demo ended soon. It gave people a feeling of unfulfilled feelings. The old driver understood my heart very well, and introduced me to it. , “Very shocking, do you want to try the feeling in the belly of the fish?”, of course I agreed, and the old driver took me into another demo.

As soon as I entered the demo, the surrounding area was dark , At this time, the handle turned into a flashlight in front of my eyes. I scanned the surroundings with the beam of the flashlight, and found in the belly of a dead whale: I could see a huge whale skeleton lying on the bottom of the sea, and some boxes. Sinking in the mud on the bottom of the sea, behind a bone, there was a big crab hidden. I shot it with a flashlight, and it waved two big tongs at me hospitably. This demo is also very realistic, but nothing The whale was shocked just now. So I quickly withdrew from this demo.

I asked the boss, “Is there any game recommendation I want to try?”. The boss said: “You must have played Fruit Ninja, right? Yes Don’t experience the fruit ninja in Vive first, and see what is the difference with the mobile phone, and try the gun battle game again later?”. The old driver’s suggestion is so professional, I certainly agree.

Enter the fruit After the ninja interface, my handle became two ninja knives, and the fruit was constantly thrown from under my feet. I waved the double knives and tried to draw combos. Because the visible range in front of me was limited, I had to twist my neck quickly. Let the field of vision turn from left to right, from top to bottom to find the freshly thrown fruit, the action is not small. When I swing a double knife to cut the fruit, the handle will vibrate slightly, and when I cut the bomb, the handle will emit a bigger shot. The vibration, these tactile feedback also increase the sense of immersion. After playing a few games, my arms are still a bit tired. Cutting fruits on VR can actually have the effect of exercise.

< p>After cutting a few rounds of fruit, I can’t wait to follow The boss said to try shooting games. So the old driver took me into the shooting game produced by Chengdu Kuka Digital: Men of Mercenaries.

This game like CS is very easy to use. All I have to do is find cover (for example, behind the box), choose the right time to stand up, and use double guns to aim at the enemy and shoot. I keep looking for cover and After standing and shooting, my back was sweaty. After a few rounds, I was finally exhausted and was killed by the enemy.

At this time, the caring boss brought me to the sofa and asked me to sit down Take a rest. And said to me: “Sit on the Griffin in the Warcraft”. Then he helped me enter a demo of Stormwind riding on the Griffin.

Riding on a Griffon, the 360 ​​flying past the castle without dead ends feels really shocking. I contentedly said something awesome to the old driver. As a result, the old driver told me, “There is even more awesome Do you want to try the forced roller coaster? Many people are afraid to stand and watch”.

The old driver’s saying this aroused my desire to challenge. So I entered the DEMO of the roller coaster. This is again It is a 360-degree steerable DEMO, so that there is no real reference around the viewer, and it is visually like sitting on a roller coaster. When the roller coaster passes the high point and dives down, I am still I feel a bit unstable.

Soon half an hour passed. I took off the vive helmet, looked at the device, and I thought: < strong>Niubian. But when I come back to think about it, I think the Vive generation is awesome, but still There are many things that can be improved:

  1. The resolution is not high enough. At the current 2K resolution, you can clearly see the specific grid pixels with the naked eye. Maybe it can be changed to 4K, or even 5K. Achieve the effect of retina.

  2. The dragging line behind the helmet affects the experience very much. When playing “Mercenary”, I often have to move and turn in a small range, several times The legs are entangled with cables. This is no way. Who can make the current wireless transmission rate not meet the requirements? I heard that it will not be possible to achieve VR with wireless transmission for at least 5 years.

  3. The visible range of a single eye is still slightly smaller. If you want to get more vision, you must constantly turn your head. It makes people feel like “seeing a leopard in a tube”. I heard that the follow-up products can achieve the single-eye visible range as much as possible. It reaches 120 degrees, which is closer to the visual range of the human eye.

Although this experience is only 30 minutes, it has been enough to shock me for a while. I believe it will be a few more In 2010, with the maturity of technology and the decline in prices, VR will definitely become more popular and more shocking.
