The 3rd International Intelligent Entertainment Hardware Exhibition (eSmart), jointly hosted by Chinajoy and sponsored by China's VR/AR Entertainment Industry Alliance (VREIA), will be held at Shanghai New International from August 3rd to August 6th, 2018. The Expo Center is held.
A group of data from the market research organization GFK injected a booster into the VR industry. In 2017, the online market size of China's VR headset reached 829 million yuan, an increase of 14% compared with 2016. GFK estimates that this number will rise to 1.17 billion yuan in 2018.
GFK data also mentioned that under the general trend of overall growth of VR market, the original mobile phone box VR is facing elimination, the market share of high-end VR head display and VR all-in-one will gradually increase, and users purchase VR products of more than 1,000 yuan. Willingness is also growing.
This coincides with HTC Vive's current product strategy. They not only launched their first VR all-in-one Vive Focus at the end of 2017, but also launched the VivePro Professional PCVR head-end display in early 2018. The launch of these two products together with the Vive Consumer Edition constitutes a product portfolio that covers mass consumers, professional users and VR enthusiasts.
The ViveFocus all-in-one machine that is free from computer and mobile phone is easy to carry, comfortable to wear, simple to operate, ready to use, supports six degrees of freedom (6DoF), and can achieve world-scale positioning, allowing users to "dip" anytime, anywhere. "Into a low-latency, high-definition virtual world.
Whether it is an all-in-one or PCVR, content has always been the most important resource for the VR industry. Since its inception, HTCVive has also focused on building the hardware and software ecosystem of the VR industry, and launched a series of plans to accelerate the development of the industry, including the world's most active VR / AR accelerator Vive X and virtual reality venture capital alliance VRVCA, focused content development Viveports with the release of Vive Studios and the cross-platform cross-regional app store. More than 3,000 apps have been assembled in the Viveport store.
Not only that, but HTCVive is also actively exploring the cross-domain applications of VR, from the ViveFocus all-in-one at Shanghai Fashion Week, to the VR art at Art Basel in Hong Kong, to a series for the "Top Player" movie. The VR experience has enabled consumers to see the unlimited potential of virtual reality technology in fashion, art, entertainment and other aspects.
At the beginning of 2018, in order to bring more delicate immersion to the VR experience, HTC began another iteration of Vive hardware - HTC Vive Pro Professional Edition focused on improving the wearing experience and resolution, adding built-in headphones, dual microphone And the dual front camera, the head display itself looks smaller than the original. In addition, the screen resolution has been upgraded to 2880 x 1600, which is 78% better than the previous Vive's 2160 x 1200 resolution.
The bigger surprise is that HTC has also created a wireless upgrade kit for VivePro Professional. This WiGig wireless connection technology with Intel allows VR devices to wirelessly transfer at speeds close to USB type-c and Thunderbolt 3.
It is worth mentioning that the recessed holes we see on the surface of the Vive Pro are actually infrared receivers with filters on the housing to filter visible light, and receivers to receive infrared light from the base station.
This is the true revolutionary technology of the VR experience in the past three years, which will alleviate the embarrassment of cable interaction in the current VR experience. At CES in 2018, Vive Pro Professional Edition became the focus of all VR/AR products at the show, and it won the CES Innovation Award from 24 foreign media.
At this year's MWC in Barcelona, ​​HTC combined with Vive Pro Professional's experience project "Hot Air Balloon" combined with a real hot air balloon device, players wearing Vive Pro professional version of the head mounted hot air balloon, it is like flying in the air over the Eagle Canyon . Today, HTC has confirmed its participation in the 2018 eSmart, which is expected to enable Chinese people to experience the top VR products including Vive Pro Professional Edition and the latest VR games and applications in Shanghai in August.
