- Everything started up pretty quickly. Streaming through VD even on a wifi 5 router works well. Sufficiently free firmware makes it easy to get the developer mode and pirate applications that are now difficult to buy in the store (however, if you ate the helmet firmware before getting the developer mode and transferring the helmet to the European region, when you enter the settings, they will require a social rating number and a PDA party ticket or something something like that). From the point of view of iron, everything is fine - a good screen and lenses, the processor is normal. The tracking of the controllers is not bad, although jambs popped up a couple of times.
- I took it in , they brought the Chinese version of the helmet with the Chinese region installed. I took it from the Formula iQ store, but probably all retailers will bring the Chinese version. In general, nothing critical, the seller even attached an adapter and instructions for transferring the helmet to the European region, but I had to rummage around with the settings and flashing for half an hour. Of the original software, I only tested RemotePlayAssistent for watching videos, it works fine, but on heavy videos there is frequent buffering and slowdown in the player itself. The helmet's original software for streaming is StreamingAssistent, I have not tested it myself, but there are many reviews that it does not work well. Used Virtual Desktop instead. The fans are also quite noisy under load. Charging flies before our eyes, but one and a half to two hours of play will last.
- Superb attention to detail and quality in 4k
- Software developed in China
- Lightweight, gorgeous picture, just a buzz
- For such a price, I hoped that there would be a global firmware, but it turned out to be China, sad
- Build quality Ergonomics out of the box Good iron inside The OS is easy to customize and install third-party applications Price (important: see comment) Tracking and vibration controllers New pancake lenses Compact dimensions and weight Screen resolution
- Autonomy does not shine (1.5-2 hours, depending on the game and settings) The soft is raw and needs polishing Hand tracking doesn't work well Price in local stores You will most likely want to change the complete face mask.
- Can be played through SteamVR (it's bold +); Cool thing, you need to have VR to keep you active while working remotely. No wires. And yes, it's just great stuff. You can stream games to a browser or SmartTV (did not test it), but broadcasting through a browser is not convenient, you need a couple more hands.
- It is not very suitable for a narrow face, the mask rests only on the forehead and after a while it is very painful and it is difficult to continue playing. There are also gaps, with active enthusiasm you do not pay attention, but they are there. (Minus an asterisk from me); Chinese firmware, not "User friendly", everything is stitched, but hands and risks are needed. You can play through SteamVR, but so far you canโt connect, it turned out to output sound to the helmet, but the problem is in my computer - I need to check the computer for VR games in advance. To turn on the broadcast in the browser, one needs to - Put on, take off the helmet and be in the VR zone to enter the address - this is not convenient. And copying and sending the address in the helmet is not provided. You canโt play in the dark, the controllers are no longer tracked (this is not a minus). Interrupting the game by removing the helmet, then itโs difficult to return normally, you need to put it on in the same place where you took it off, or the center of the game will shift, which can lead to the inability to continue the game, because. you are outside its borders, and it is not possible to return to the center on foot, because you will go abroad (that is, you need to go through the room where it was not planned to play and there may be a wall on the way). You need to restart the games - this is more a claim to games that there is no function to reset the center or reconfigure as needed. ___________________________________ Technical disadvantages - like freezes, lags and other software problems are practically absent.
