VR experience of Fuzhou's roadside food stalls stalls
Not long ago, said Su Ning, the pipeline in the country within the next 3 months 300 VR "experience Museum", to build China's largest VR experience platform. Of course, this 300 VR "experience Museum" and egg chairs on the market models of different store, suning's "experience" based on the online store in the country, in order to provide experience for consumers to purchase services. Simply saying is, "buy some piece of equipment placed under online stores for consumers to experience".
Arose in the offline experience
Although this form of shops called "experience" gimmick, but the emerging entertainment in VR system with Chinese characteristics has been in a leading position in the commercialization process. Data show that 2015 is probably the 1500~2000 number of VR online store, in that most of them used egg Chair model. Allegedly, egg Chair manufacturers in the second half of last year to more than 40. But because this egg Chair model that easy copying, homogenization of competition, poor and monotonous, experience, is also a positive transformation.
Groping, people find a new way: the theme park. Representatives of foreign players this way: Zero Latency and The Void. This store supports the player a wide range of mobile, multiplayer, with a better experience. In China, this kind of theme park or multiplayer experience players there are many, such as Ruili, the scene.
However, it is necessary to "move" and "against" is not easy. One challenge is to shake off the yoke connector VR helmet, gave birth to pack computers. In this regard, it was configured using notebook. Zero latency using alien laptop Alienware Alpha, but its Oculus Rift DK2 is the VR helmet rather than the latest consumer version.
Thus, for those who wants a consumer version of Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and other high-end VR helmet team hopes to have a VR movement-specific hosting solutions--computer backpack.
Computer backpack is a kind of market?
After the design specifically for a particular scene, backpack computer could be called "new category". A new category has the market seems a bit small, but also showing a number of situations.
At present, most vendors are known as Backpack computer 2 b 2C, without limiting the market position. But from the consumer's point of view, using backpacks computer experience of VR is not a wise choice. Because game developers are designing games that take into account when moving the range. VR theme park such as Zero Latency is customized content. Therefore, the backpack computer mobile VR theme park problem can be solved, and play to its strengths, but useless in the room.
This backpack for the store computer, its capacity does not seem significant. We are roughly an account, reference about this market. For the store's market capacity, vision technology project director Fu Licheng said: "If you count the three or four cities, China peak can store up to 30,000". Based on this data, we assume that each 10~20, the backpack computer number 30~60. According to 1 the price of 10,000 yuan, a market of about 30~60 billion. Of course, this figure is 30,000 store support large-scale mobile and game to calculate, but in fact "backpack computer market capacity is" probably a lot less.
In this regard, one practitioner told small: "(the market) is the key to much of the cake. Its profit margin is higher than general computer, but something low threshold, profits will decline very quickly. "
Low threshold?
Clearly, not merely the host computer backpack computer backpack or simply support notebook for high-end VR. The former is not designed for mobile scenarios, which is heat and no backpack morphological considerations. OtterBox Note 4
At present, had announced or launched backpack has three computer manufacturers, namely Europe, such as the HP; Department of Taiwan such as ASUS, MSI, Sotec; city of legend (there is no published, they pack the computer channel feedback information), Tsinghua tongfang, millions of borders, and so on.
According to the survey of small, most backpacks computer is still at the prototype stage, its parameters could achieve consensus in the industry: VR Ready. In addition, on a number of parameters, these products also remained a line: weight 4~5 kg, battery life is probably in 1~1.5 hours, Pack design has its own distinctive features.
Of course, there is also some to join Oculus Rift, HTC Vive front companies. Working closely with 3Glasses of Tsinghua tongfang, configuration is probably Intel i5-4590+, NVIDIA GTX 960/AMD R9 280+, Win7 64 bit +, memory 8G+. It is worth mentioning that, Tsinghua tongfang computer backpack up to 3 kg, the reason is that with NVIDIA GTX mobile chip. Computer show in Taipei, told a small addendum to the Tsinghua tongfang, they are waiting for the GTX 1080 mobile, it is estimated that in August this year listed. OtterBox N4
In fact, the backpack computer optimization most pressure upstream. Latest GTX 1080 this year is a good example. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, released in May, and recently even in some enthusiasts using the appropriate video card. As for VR, GTX 1080 there are three actions:
First, the performance is greatly improved. Introduction Pascal schema, 16nm process, power 180W, bandwidth up to 320GB/s,GTX 1080 vs GTX 980 runs twice faster times than Maxwell architecture Titan X,GTX 1080 power consumption was reduced by three times.
Second, support asynchronous operations (Asynchronous Compute) and synchronized projection engine (simultaneous multi-projection). Former may support asynchronous time warp that VR is often said ATW technology, which can assist you in VR application 30% frame rate, you can create up to 16 Windows.
Third, the new VRWorks Audio audio and PhysX physics acceleration.
However, it was to a small series of ridicule, MSI and other manufacturers are planning to launch in the second half of the year Pack on our computers is to wait for the GTX 1080 mobile chip, so that products can reduce weight. There is no vendor specific configuration parameters, it is difficult to conclude that this phrase is correct. But what is certain is, if GTX 1080 mobile chip, performance can be greatly reduced. Whether this will affect the experience, behind only experience can tell. Therefore, the computer from the host to the backpack, manufacturers can do what are the optimization?
VR manufacturer billion from Shenzhen borders has just launched an Intel backpack computer solutions product, its General Manager Shi Qing told Xiao bian, optimization involves four major areas, namely, weight, thermal and power management design. He said, the desktop is very simple, plug power will be able to use, but the backpack-style charging and battery life issues need to be considered. "It is desktop configuration, but is a portable power management logic". Shi Qing, computer backpack has a certain threshold, "do not make computer manufacturers can not do this thing." In small's view, programme makers such as the million borders, just let the floor, have their own channels and markets will live more moist.
As for the above backpack computer makers can make certain of the VR market share, even as a category, it is difficult to estimate. Make believe, this pattern will continue for some time.
Connector, backpacks computer there
In the long run, wireless VR helmets must be a direction, but when is it going to achieve this? MAKEUSEOF authors Andre Infante from Moore's fixed-rate is calculated in terms of:
"Current levels of high-end PC to 1080P eyes realistic gaming experience requires 5 double (Republic of fixed-rate, PC performance every 18 months and 1 time). For the VR, 3D effects also need to double, and remove grid effect of 8K a resolution needs to turn the eyes 3 times. In addition, the mobile platform also needs to turn 4 times in order to catch up with the PC.
18 months together, these multiple times, resulting in about 20 years. By that time, the human eye cannot see mobile VR and PC VR rendering differences between the pictures. "
That's right, and 20 years. Bizhakeboge VR longer eruption prediction of 10 years.

HTC Vive VR virtual reality helmet
How about HTC's head? Lei feng's network and a handful of dedicated VR classmates chatted. Ling told Lei Feng Fei Yue, founder technology network: Vive is the connection of PC products, and Oculus DK2 competition, and Gear VR is not comparable, pure Mobile Gear VR is not connected to the PC. Seen from the parameters, Vive Oculus DK2.
