2016 is known as the first year of VR, because the VR of this year has reached a peak, but this year, the heat of VR seems to have been in a state of tepidness. People's enthusiasm for VR Although the degree of attention is not so high, as a new technology, many people still want to experience and feel. For our average user, the most intuitive experience should be VR games. At present, the price of VR devices is still not beautiful, and there is also a need for powerful performance devices to support virtual reality content. For ordinary users, it may be unaffordable for them to purchase a set of devices from the host to the head. Therefore, in this environment, many virtual reality experience halls emerged. The contents and equipment prepared by the shopkeeper can be experienced as long as they are consumed. But what exactly is the real situation? Is it worth our experience? Here we go to Beijing to experience a few VR experience stores. We chose three specialized VR experience stores in Beijing and also scored high on the public comment. First introduce the three stores. Rockstone Technology VR Experience Museum Recommended Level: ★★★☆☆ 1, the specific address First of all, we went to the virtual reality experience shop of the Rock Sci-Tech Museum. This shop is located in the 798 Art Zone of Jiuxianqiao. The location is relatively hidden. The specific address is at the 751D Park D, Jiuxianqiao Road, etc. The second floor of the coffee shop can follow the map navigation. It's easier to find. When you come to the door, you can see the "wait for coffee" sign and you are already close at hand. After coming up, we saw a propaganda card from the Rock Tech Museum. On the second floor, we arrived at the shop of the Rockstone Science and Technology Museum. The first feeling in the store was that the overall atmosphere was very good. The light in the store was dark and the blue lights gave a very strong sense of technology. 2, equipment HTC VIVE Controller There are a lot of equipment in the Fushishi Science and Technology Museum store, and almost every family has their heads. The equipment on the table does not provide an experience and is only for visits. PS VR Gear VR IDEALENS HTC VIVE Somatosensory pistol As for hardware, the 980Ti graphics card is used by the Rockstone Science and Technology Museum to drive VR devices. Although the performance is not the top level, it is also very powerful. 3, experience The experience content of the Rockstone Science and Technology Museum can be divided according to the equipment. There are 4 different contents, that is, 4 different kinds of equipment. First, we experienced a game called "Absolute Defense". The device used was a Dee Poon Big VR virtual reality helmet with an experience gun. The game is very simple, it is to shoot the flock of monsters that come, and the function of the firearm is only aiming and shooting, so after playing for a while, it will feel a little boring. Game screen This device only supports the head tracking, the resolution and refresh rate of the picture are not high enough, so the clarity and immersion are gone. For the friends of Halo 3D, it may feel dizzy for a long time. The three games we experienced next and the ones used by the animation were Oculus. The first game uses a somatosensory bike, which serves as a deliveryman in the game and delivers newspapers by pressing buttons on the handlebars of the bicycle. The second is a football goal game. The opportunity to launch the game is to launch the football in your direction. You need to put your head into the frame with your head. It is still difficult to change direction in the game. Next is an animation of a roller coaster. It is still more exciting to use a virtual reality to “ride a roller coaster ride,†but the picture is also quite general. It will also produce vertigo for a long time. The following is an upgraded version of the experience, a racing game. We can control the steering wheel, throttle and brakes in the seat of the racing car. In the actual trial play, we feel that there is a certain delay in the car's running, and the control of the steering wheel is also not sensitive. It is difficult to cross the curve and the experience is poor. These games and content using Oculus do not give us a very good feeling. Here we have experienced an archery game with HTC VIVE. After joining the controller, the experience on the game is more realistic. The performance of the VIVE screen is also stronger than the previous two devices, and the immersiveness is also improved. In the end, we experienced a game using VRCade equipment. The game content is to shoot the zombies all around and the sense of realism and immersion of the game screen is very good. Changing the bullet needs to be touched with a gun in the space. This device can support location tracking, can move freely within the limited area of ​​the room, and has a strong sense of participation. Since the light in the game room was too dark, we took the device out to take pictures. The game experience is quite good. 4, price In terms of price, fees are charged according to the time, the lowest one is 30 minutes, single 55 yuan and double 109 yuan. The author experienced a cycle of almost 30 minutes, so basically all the items can be experienced once, although the price is not cheap, it is acceptable. 5, summary Throughout the entire experience, the Rockstone Museum of Science and Technology gives us more of the experience of displaying the virtual reality culture to users through games. In terms of games, we can give users a basic VR experience. The contents of the entire store are very rich, and the equipment is also sold. The clerk has a relatively clear understanding of the current situation and equipment of VR, and the service attitude is good, giving a very good overall feeling. RASS13 District Recommended Level: ★★★★★ 1, the specific address Next, we came to the RASS13 area, which is located in the southern district of the World Trade Plaza. The address is on the 3rd floor of the World Trade Plaza South Street, Building 9, Guanghua Road. On the third floor, you can see a winning sports city, and the RASS13 district is right next to the sports city. When we came to the door, the screen on the right first attracted us. There was a group of small robots that could interact with tourists. When you walk forward, they will always be around you. You wave or kick and you can fly them. interesting. For the little ones, the equipment at the entrance is enough for half an hour. The area inside the shop doesn't look great, but everyone has ample game area. In the store, there is a separate game area for the players in the box, so don't worry about the lack of places. There are two single private rooms in the shop, and two double private rooms. The double rooms can be online and play against each other. 2, equipment The equipment used in the box is HTC VIVE. The hardware is a 10-series 1080 graphics card and the performance is quite powerful. There are PS4 and PSVR outside the box, but everyone is still more enthusiastic about HTC VIVE's gaming experience. 3, experience We came to a single room to experience. From the display we can see that the management of the RASS13 area is more professional, there is a dedicated management system, and the game content is also very large. The key point is to talk about services in the RASS13 area. The service of this store is very good both in attitude and quality. During the game, there will always be staff protection on the edge, and it will enhance your game through language expression. Experience, all aspects are quite in place. The staff will also recommend the game for you through your personal preferences. There are different options for both novice and old drivers. Xiao Bian didn't have a VIVE experience before, so the staff recommended us an introductory game - Walking in the Cloud. Although it is a small game, the experience is still very exciting. You need to walk in the sky with only one board, you will fall when you walk one step, and when you stand on it, your legs are really weak. Next, the author played a boxing game, the experience is also very good, the two controllers as two gloves, just like in the real boxing, playing for some time there will be some tired. The companions accompanying the author experienced a shooting game that was quite awkward and completely immersed in the game. But in the ointment is not wearing headphones in the experience, but the use of sound, in the game it is difficult to identify the location of the enemy through the sound. At the top of the experience area, we can see that the store has performed special treatment on the wire to minimize the impact of the wire on the experience. Although this design is very good, but the wired device does have some impact on our experience, which is also It is currently unavoidable. 4, price The RASS13 area is quite unfriendly in terms of price. The prices on the left side of the chart are members' prices. However, the membership card requires a minimum of RMB 1,000. We made group purchases from the public commentary. The half-hour experience for the box required 198 yuan. The price was very high. When the heat is also due to the high quality of the service and content in the store, this price is really enough for the average user. 5, summary The overall experience of the RASS13 area is excellent. If you want to play VR games well, you can play here very well. The service of the staff must be praised. The content of the whole shop is very careful, but the price is not close to the people. However, if you want to experience a virtual reality game, it is highly recommended that you try it. Moreover, the RASS13 area is a chain store in Beijing and stores are located in Wukesong and Blue Harbor. Mystery World VR Experience Pavilion Recommended Level: ★★★★☆ 1, the specific address In the end we came to the Mystery World Virtual Reality Experience Hall. This shop is very easy to find. It is on the 10th floor of Chaoyang Joy City. The space in the store is not too big. It is also an experience area in the form of a box. There are one big, three small and four areas. After we arrived at the store, we wanted to experience the single-player game, but the staff said that the content of the single-player game was small and not worthwhile. We also suggested that we go downstairs to the video game city to play, perhaps it is for us to make better suggestions, but Recommending customers to other stores does not know what the situation is. 2, equipment The equipment used in the shop is also HTC VIVE. After experiencing several stores, we found that HTC VIVE is basically used in various places. It seems that HTC VIVE is the device that can provide us with the best experience. 3, experience Since the store is mainly a multiplayer game project, the staff did not recommend us to play a single player game. We did not experience it personally, but we can see from the experience of tourists that the game experience should be good. 4, price In the Mystery World Virtual Reality Experience Hall, fees are charged according to the content of the game. At the same time, the time is limited. The price is not cheap. If you want to experience a single-player game, it is not recommended to visit this store for experience. The project is a two-player and multiplayer game and it is a good choice to come together in groups. 5, summary Because we did not experience it, Xiao Bian looked at the evaluation on the platform of the public comment. Visitors to the store are still relatively high, but we did not experience the kind of caring service, but also because we did not consume. If you have a lot of friends and want to play at the same time, you can choose this shop. Outer chapter At the Mystery World Virtual Reality Experience Hall, the staff asked us to go downstairs to play. Now that we have arrived, let's take a look. This is the game city called the Treasure Island video game center. After entering the store, we saw the area of ​​virtual reality experience, but when we lifted the camera, the staff came over to stop us. We were not good at asking anything. We may not be able to play video games on the hardware configuration. A dedicated virtual reality experience shop, but the price difference is far away, this home appliance to play the city's equipment, experience once for 30 yuan, four times for 100 yuan, compared to the previous few are considered very cheap. to sum up Experienced a big circle in Beijing City, our biggest feeling is still a word: expensive! At present, VR devices are not universal, and offline experience shops should be the only way we can reach VR games. The emerging VR experience store has also officially seized this opportunity to “kill†users on price. Although the special experience shop is very good in effect, it is not as good as going to some small video game city VR equipment more cost-effective. Due to the time, we did not go to other VR experience stores, and perhaps even more perfect service and experience. But in the few shops we experience, RATS13 is the most recommended area, and the quality of service and content is commendable. I think that in the near future, VR devices will not be popular any time soon, because in addition to purchasing powerful mainframes and expensive head displays, you must also have a place to place devices, plus a game area that needs to be moved. It is difficult to achieve at home. So occasionally to experience the game play is still acceptable. If more types of experience shops launch more activities, they will be welcomed by more players. ■This article is edited by: Jingjing Jing Pay attention to the bubble network, enjoy science and technology life.
