Change the common sense of VR with a smartphone!Verify the charm of "Xperia View" that can experience 8K

"Xperia View" can be used as an HMD by setting "Xperia1 II" and "Xperia1 III"

[Tech Magic #087 in Hidenori Kimura] In 2022, the VR headset is likely to be closer. Sony's Xperia visual headset "Xperia View", which was announced at the end of last year, has a considerable perfection and gives a feeling of this future. Speaking of the previous visual headset (a headset without a video display function), it was difficult to use it because there were many simple things. Xperia View, on the other hand, has high integration with the app and has a wide viewing angle. At present, there are few content, but the feeling of use was at the same level as Oculus. I would like to introduce the performance of Xperia View that can not be underestimated even though it is a visual headset. ● The structure that makes use of the resolution of Xperia is that the viewing angle is wide and hard to get drunk, the first thing that catches the new structure is a new structure. Normally, HMD has a lens in only the windows that look into, and the viewing angle is narrow. Therefore, many people were drunk with the VR sickness, easily collapsed by the field of view and the sense of equilibrium. Recent HMDs are hard to get sick because they have little delay, but many people are still weak. In that regard, the Xperia View has a wide viewing angle of 120 degrees diagonal by adopting a structure that integrates the conventional aspheric lens and a frennel lens. The content of the frenel lens around the peek is also seen as a structure that is hard to get drunk because the content can be seen as a view. A structure that takes advantage of the strengths of Cinema Wide Display, which is proud of Xperia1 II / III with large displays, exceeds the frame of simply using a smartphone that can experience VR, and pursues practicality. rice field. ● Comfortable operation without a controller, the built -in apps are also good at the next thing to worry about. The headset that uses a smartphone tends to be complicated, such as switching content, even if VR can be enjoyed technically. This point is also built in Xperia View. By using a dedicated application, it is comfortable to operate without removing the smartphone, such as selecting the face or the shutter button. Also, if you use the app while having a smartphone, you can watch without goggles. It is a mechanism that only two -eye viewing display is displayed only when it is attached to goggles using a smartphone's proximity sensor. These UIs are more practical because they simply try to use VR as a trial. If you usually want to enjoy your smartphone or VR content, you can use it in HMD and 2 roles, so even those who are not interested in VR will spread the foothills. If you want to stick to more operability, you can pair and use PlayStation controllers. It may be suitable for a long time, but it may be suitable if you want to switch and enjoy a variety of content for a long time, or if you want to travel using a landscape VR. ● You can enjoy 8K HDR. It is also good that you use a high -resolution display of your smartphone to differentiate it from a specialty machine unique to smartphones. Although the normal visual headset is the impression that it is a low -priced version of a dedicated machine, the Xperia View is worth exceeding the dedicated machine even if it is only at the resolution. The maximum resolution is 8k (7680 x 4320 dots), BT.Because it supports 2020 color gamuts and HDR standards, it is a specification that can be considered as an option as an option as a rival horse for dedicated aircraft. In the dedicated application, you can also select 180 -degree mode in addition to 360 -degree mode, so you can also experience depth due to parallax. Unfortunately, there was no built -in content, but if you read the content taken with the newly released Canon two -eye VR lens, you may be able to enjoy a high -resolution image image. It is also good that Xperia View can gradually respond to high -resolution in the future. In the future, if a higher -definition display is installed in the Xperia1 series, you can benefit. It can be said that the only thing that can improve the quality of HMD just by replacing a smartphone is the goodness of one role. ● The concern is the high price, the lens with a wide viewing angle that you want to expect to increase the resolution in the future is wonderful, and the UI / UX is perfect. Officially, only the dedicated application is compatible with YouTube, etc., but the operation is troublesome, and you can actually watch VR content on YouTube. By focusing on the dedicated application, the operation feeling is considerably better and the degree of perfection is high. What is worrisome is the price. Despite the standing position of a visual headset that does not have a built -in display, the price of Xperia View is quite expensive at 29,800 yen. Even if you think that the dedicated machine Oculus Quest2 is less than 30,000 yen, it is a price setting that hesitates to purchase. Although it is not an accessory of Xperia1, it is easy to purchase if it is about 9800 yen at the same time, so I would like to expect future development. Also, although the display is compatible with 8K, the dots are not invisible. Whether or not this dot is visible in VR is an element that greatly affects the UX. In this regard, I would like to look forward to further updates in the next Xperia1, taking advantage of the advantage that can update the display performance. I'm in a hurry, Canon RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye, so I would like to take a high -quality 180 -degree VR and try it out.In particular, it was likely to affect future HMDs in the viewing angle, and we wanted to expect continuous support.(Rosetta/Kimura Hidenori) ■ Hidenori Kimura Rosetta CEO/ART Director Co., Ltd.A genuine life hacker that usually buys a variety of latest equipment and gadgets to improve work and life efficiency and automation.In 2018, he released a 50 -year -old housing complex and releasing a future housing complex "BENTO", which has almost automated housework.He is also a Waper dad in charge of childcare and housework of his daughter in an automated house instead of his wife.[New Kimura Family] https: // www.YouTube.com/rekimuras記事と連動した動画でより詳しい内容、動画でしかお伝えできない部分を紹介しています。（動画delivery時期は記事掲載と前後する可能性があります）
