Like many of the events this year, VR has undoubtedly become the focus of Computex at the Taipei International Computer Show. From the ASUS mobile VR head-end Asus VR, HTC Vive "home-made" game "Front Defense" before the opening of the show, to Samsung's 4D seat, to computer manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard, MSI and other backpack-type computers, then to ARM to support mobile VR New products, as well as various VR devices at the show, will make you believe that this year is a hot year for VR. As the mother of immersion, Xiaobian is in Taiwan and collects VR information about Taipei Computer Show.
ASUS head display
Regarding the ASUS VR "Asus VR", the official did not publish too much information, but just "inadvertently" on the stage. According to relevant information, "Asus VR" is a mobile phone box for the standard Samsung Gear VR helmet. The head is 5.7 inches wide, with touch panels and physical buttons on both sides. The body is made of metal, and the headgear is made of belt. The overall look is more local. It is estimated that this phone box will be used with ZenFone 3 and is expected to be available in 2017.
HTC "homemade games" is not an industry benchmark
Before the Taipei Computer Show, HTC had already promoted "Front Defense" in its official blog, but this exhibition is the first time to provide experience. It is understood that the game comes from HTC's internal incubation team Fantahorn Studio, an independent game studio composed of HTC employees, and is also one of the HTC-funded content teams.
Some people think that this game from the internal team will be a model template for HTC Vive games. After all, HTC knows Vive best. However, from the experience of Xiaobian, the term "industry benchmark" seems to be somewhat inconsistent.
"Front Defense" is a shooting game with a background set in World War II. The player incarnates a warrior in VR, holds a gun or throws a grenade, and his mission is to defeat the enemy behind the fort. During the experience, the player only needs to use the trigger and side buttons on the handle to achieve the action of taking, releasing and shooting. From the experience of Xiaobian, the game is worthy of praise, not only shooting, but also the practice of throwing grenades and setting up rockets to bomb the tanks. In addition, the visual effects are also good.
However, Xiaobian did not experience a special difference from other shooting games in this game. For this, a game producer on the scene said that the game is a subjective experience and it is difficult to measure it with "standards." In his opinion, this game is not a Vive content benchmark, but it can be done without dizziness, make good use of Vive's spatial positioning technology, and have an interesting gameplay.
Novelty peripherals
In addition to the first show of the "Front Defense" game, HTC Vive also brings partners' novel peripherals for everyone to experience. The most popular is the flight simulator Birdly. As shown above, this is a peripheral that simulates bird flying, developed by a Swiss company called SOMNIACS. The company's employees told Xiaobian that the game and hardware design were completed by the company, and the hardware was built by German manufacturers. As for the specific selling price, the other party said that it is not convenient to disclose.
In the experience, the player needs to kneel on it, then in the VR incarnate a bird flying in the sky of the city, flapping the wings can fly high, adjust the left and right wings will have a change in direction, the body will tilt forward to produce a dive effect. Impressively, when you fly in the sky, you will see a little wool fluttering in the face, and the fan in front of it will blow the breeze, and the moment is awesome. But there is also a worthwhile, the accuracy of the entire game is not high, because some of the action control has a significant sense of delay.
In addition, HTC Vive also uses the traditional fitness equipment - rowing machine to create VR fitness experience Holodia, which mainly integrates the collected fitness data into the VR system, allowing players to enjoy the beautiful lake scenery in the helmet while rowing.
