Virtual reality glasses for large smartphones. Virtual reality glasses

At the end of 2013, two employees of the Parisian division of Google came to mind a brilliant idea: helmet virtual reality based ordinary smartphone. In such a helmet, the screen does not need, and indeed some separate electronics. You can use the smartphone screen as the screen, and the rest you need (including position sensor in space) in the smartphone already exist. Thus appeared cardboard glasses of virtual reality, which were distributed to the Google I / O conference participants in June 2014.

Now in Chinese online stores sell dozens of virtual reality glasses for smartphone. I asked Chinese online store Gearbest to send me several models for comparison (everything is now in the store 10 models of such points). Submitted four models - two cardboard and two plastic.



Design

All glasses have plastic lenses. Manufacturers declare smartphones with screens from 3.5 "to 7". In fact, the smartphone with a screen 5-5.3 "is optimal for points and fullHD resolution. The device with a screen more than 6" does not fit into one of these points.

Points are much more than the first in size. The full diameter of the lenses is 46mm, they are truncated from above and below.

The lid for the smartphone opens only at 45 degrees. It has a magnetic latch.

The smartphone is fixed by clamping between the housing and the lid. Maximum size Smartphone - 165x84mm.

Points have adjustable straps, allowing you to fix them on your head. Weight points of 221 grams.

The Chinese tried to make accurate analogue google Cardboard. Almost happened. Points are sold in the folded state.

They need to take off from a piece of cardboard, which is packaging, and collect. The assembly takes a minute.

Diameter lenses 25mm.

The smartphone should not be shorter than 135 mm (otherwise it will just fall) and not wider than 75 mm.

It is better to hold the smartphone on the sides, and then it can fall out. The lid is fixed on velcro.

These and second cardboard glasses have a magnet and a steel washer that allows you to implement control using the built-in compass of the smartphone.

Points are also sold in folded.

The pattern is made with an error, so the side that should be glued to the bilateral scotch is all the time.

Diameter lenses 28 mm.

The length of the smartphone should be at least 128 mm, the width is no more than 80 mm.

Testing

Now many programs are written for such points. They can be found in the Application Application Application Application. Virtual Reality. I used to test the glasses a program-trip simulator trip through the Fibrum Roller Coaster VR railway (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id\u003dcom.fibrum.roallercoastervr).

Perhaps this is one of better options boast a virtual reality in front of friends. The image varies depending on the position of the head (and actually the smartphone). You can look up, down, forward, left, right and even back.

I used for tests smartphone Huawei. P7 with a 5-inch screen.

1. Ritech 3D Magic Box.

The glasses have the most comfortable mount for the phone. On the sides, there are closed black foam rubber for the headphone wire. Picture without geometric distortion. If the phone is very thin, in each eye you can see a small strip from the picture for another eye (it almost does not interfere), if the phone is thick, the picture is almost almost in focus. The diameter of the lenses is not enough to see the picture of the whole - the angles are obtained cropped. Thanks to the adjustment of the position of the lenses, you can configure them so that the picture for each eye was exactly in the center. The size of the picture is large enough. It can be compared in a width with a 120-centimeter screen at a distance of 2 m. On the head, glasses are not very convenient - more comfortable to hold them with their hands, on putting on the heads on the head.

2. Portable Google Virtual Reality 3D Video Glasses.

The picture has small distortion (pillage), the size of the picture is much more than that of the first points - approximately as a 150-centimeter screen at a distance of 2 m. At the corners, the image is almost not cut. Focusing is good. On the head, glasses are seen inconvenient and painfully put on the nose.

3. DIY VR 3D Google Mobile Phone Cardboard Glasses Kit.

It looks like the Chinese missed and put those lenses. The picture turned out to be huge - in the entire width of view (approximately as a 2-meter screen at a distance of 2 m), but the angles are cut off so much that the picture is almost round. In addition, it is pretty much not in focus. A clear picture is happening if you move your eyes from the points of centimeters to five, but in this case only a small round fragment of the picture in the center is visible.

4. DMDG DIY ASSEMBLE Google 3D Cardboard Glasses.

There are no distortion pictures. The size of the picture, as the 120-centimeter screen at a distance of 2 m. Points are arranged in such a way that the smartphone is quite far from the central partition, so in every eye is visible quite a large strip from the picture for the second eye. Image in focus. As I wrote above, the glasses are falling apart because of the wrong pattern.

conclusions

As you can see, there were no ideal points among four samples. Nevertheless, I can recommend to purchase Ritech 3D Magic Box glasses for $ 10.41. They will be quite enough to feel the virtual reality and surprise friends.

Only today!

Hello, dear friends! Today I will tell you all about the glasses of virtual reality.

  • What are the helmets of virtual reality?
  • How do virtual reality helmets work?
  • What is the difference in virtual reality helmets?
  • Why alone virtual reality helmets cost huge money, such as HTC Vive, and others are available to anyone, such as VR Box 2 or FIIT VR?
You can say, a virtual reality helmet, you can virtual reality glasses and so right, but to name virtual reality glasses - virtual glasses, not entirely correct. Immediately hold in the mind that virtual reality helmets are different and divided into categories: 1. Virtual reality helmet for PC; 2. Virtual reality helmet for smartphone; 3. Virtual reality helmet for consoles (consoles); 4. Autonomous virtual reality helmet. And so the virtual reality helmet can be different, let's all in order, especially since I have no reason to pointed them in this order.

How it works and works a virtual reality helmet


Virtual reality helmets category I will describe below, and at first I will tell you how the virtual reality glasses are arranged and working. Helmet of virtual reality, it is just a plastic (or cardboard) case with lenses. Behind the lenses should stand one or two screens, rather this one screen divided into two images. There is also a partition that does not allow one eye to see the image intended for another eye. The image that is displayed on the left and right half of the screen is almost the same. 3D image is obtained as a result of the fact that each eye sees its own image, by analogy with a conventional eye, to feel the depth of the environment, you need two eyes, where every eye sees the environment from its angle, and the result is a 3D image. One eye does not allow you to feel the depth and correctly calculate the distance. Total if you create or record a video with two cameras at once, located at a distance as your eyes and run video from the left chamber for the left eye, and with the right for the right, then you will get a full-fledged 3D video. Most of the 3D video just have 2 video streams, separate for each eye. With this dealt with this, virtual reality helmets have a divided screen for two and we see a 3D picture. But what do we need to be inspected on the parties in virtual space? For this, the virtual reality helmet is equipped with a sensor - a gyroscope tracking head turns, such sensors are also used in smartphones in order to either turn to you video when viewing, etc. It turns out that virtual reality glasses are equipped with a gyroscope board. But how to transfer data if the game is running on the PC? For this, the glasses of virtual reality are connected to the PC when uSB help Cable and HDMI cable. By HDMI Cable The image from the PC enters the screen in glasses, and according to the USB cable, the data is transmitted from the gyroscope about the position of the head in the PC. In addition, there are also other sensors that track the consoles in the space or the player's virtual reality helmet or the player's position in the space itself, all these data are also transmitted to the USB PCs. Now we are all clear and we can consider each category of virtual reality helmets.

Virtual Reality Helmets for PC


+ work only with PC; + You can play PCs designed for these glasses with modern graphics; - require a powerful PC; + You can start the usual PC games (not intended for VR glasses), but with an infallible 3D image; - Watching 3D movies can only be near PC (not portable); + A variety of truly interesting games have been developed, in which you can play fun. It all started with virtual reality helmets for PC - Oculus Rift DK1 (first version for developers). You could buy virtual reality glasses in Russia at a price of about 30,000 rubles .. they used a low-resolution screen and used them was not very comfortable, because The image was poor quality (a pixel screen grid is very noticeable, the effect is comparable to the way if you look at the environment through the gauze). Soon the second version of the virtual reality helmet for PC is Oculus Rift DK2 (also version for developers). They had 2 main changes, firstly improved FullHD (1920 × 1080) screen, secondly, the outer chamber, tracking points in space (it was possible to bend and deviate, for example, to look down the cliff, leaning forward). Virtual reality glasses could already be a bit more expensive, Oculus Rift DK2 will cost you 50,000 rubles. Now the price of the virtual reality glasses are much higher, firstly due to the dollar's course, secondly there is a more advanced filling and equipment. Excellent housing, good lenses, first-class screen with high resolution QHD, a board with a gyroscope, and besides the board, a bunch of sensors, external chambers, a bunch of wires, gamepads (consoles), software - today, because of this, the price of a virtual reality helmet starts from 74,000 rubles for HTC VIVE. In addition, your PC should be modern and powerful to pull games for such glasses without brakes. Do not get upset, already now, third-party companies make similar glasses of virtual reality for PCs in a much more affordable price, while not yielding in quality.
For example, Deepoon E2 glasses are only 23,900 rubles. And they are not inferior to the successful value of which Rift DK2, the estimated cost of which is about 50,000 rubles. Order Deepoon E2 and get the same quality, but almost 2 times cheaper. If you even compare them with advanced Oculus Rift CV1 for 50,000 rubles, then Deepoon E2 for 23,900 rubles. inferior to them just a screen resolution. This is not such a significant difference to overpay 26,000 rubles.! Running forward right away I want to note that for example, glasses use the screen of the same permission, such as Sony PlayStation VR glasses. Now the market presents the following commercial versions of virtual reality points for PCs:

Oculus Rift CV1 (commercial version)
