Now, to experience the real virtual reality game, there are basically only three options, including Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Sony PlayStation VR. But these three kinds of virtual reality equipment have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the games are not exactly the same. Is there not a device that allows us to experience the fun of virtual reality games on all platforms at once?
Of course, that is the MVR Ascend that appeared on Kickstarter. This is a virtual reality device consisting of a headset and a gamepad that allows all PS4, Xbox One and even PC games to experience the effects of virtual reality.
MVR Ascend's cable-free, smartphone-based VR headsets and controllers allow us to experience virtual reality on all PS4, Xbox One, and PC first-person design games.
It should be noted that although the concept of virtual reality is very hot, the number of games that actually support virtual reality technology is still relatively small. In particular, some AAA+ masterpieces have not yet been introduced. MVR Ascend allows us to experience the fun of virtual reality in ordinary games. At the same time, the combination of a head-mounted device and a smart phone can directly enhance the fun of mobile shooting games.
MVR Ascend's entire system includes the H1 headset, which uses a flip-type opening method to convert the front-to-back real-time image into a VR effect through a dedicated lens. A high-quality headset is built in to provide a more realistic immersive experience. .
The other is the P1 and X1 control handles, which are compatible with PS4 and PC/Xbox One and PCs, and can convert ordinary games to VR versions through MVR Ascend's patented technology. At the same time, P1/X1 can also be used as a secondary controller to synchronize common TV game content to the H1 headset.
In the end, there is a dedicated S1 display. Since the current Xbox One's screen cannot be synchronized to the smart phone, a dedicated display is required to display the Xbox One's game screen.
MVR Ascend can capture the user's head movement through a special sensor, and can simulate the controller's input and various directions, and the system picture delay is very low, basically there will be no obvious feeling.
I believe that for most players, the true charm of virtual reality is to allow them to walk into a classic game that they have intoxicated themselves before. MVR Ascend is just such a cross-platform VR device that allows us to use either PS4 or Xbox One. PC gamers can also experience the fun of virtual reality games in ordinary games.
Currently, MVR Ascend has started crowdfunding at Kickstarter. The crowdfunding price is 129 pounds (about 1063 yuan), which is a lot cheaper than the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive or PlayStation VR. If all goes well, it is expected to ship in July 2017. Interested players may wish to pay attention.
