MDCC Conference this is the VR arena to see what are the virtual reality interactive

In the 2015 Developer Conference (MDCC), Lei Feng NET participated in the opening of the afternoon trip, by the extraordinary vibrations CTO Zhu Yu, League of friends of Director Zhang Huan, Ayla Networks co-founder Adrian Cacere and four egg Bao Lin Qianling, founder of mobile social platform sharing and answered the reporters ' questions. From the guests group during his visit to know, this Conference will focus on four aspects.

As a focus on virtual reality contents of start-up companies, Zhu Yu in question explains why the company would choose this entry point:

Partly because of the scarce VR content, content of the virtual reality in the European and American markets are active, but at home it is missing content.

The other hand, as a founder, I am a software background, so in terms of VR content they have a certain amount of control and a certain degree of comprehension.

Finally beginning in development of VR, the demand for content is very large, so that virtual reality can truly be a good development, more people accepted it, content is a very important point. Experience on how to provide good content, is the direction we have been exploring.

Unusual vibrations, and products are mainly concentrated at this stage in the game, had previously launched the VR game of The One. General Assembly will focus on gaming issues, Zhu Yu are wary to answer: because it is a start-up company, current content is game, but on understanding not only of the content of this virtual reality also includes panoramic video, pictures and so on, there may be to combine video and game.

Product Manager Zhang Huan main League of friends sharing, answering the big data analytics in data security and business value of exploration. Large companies have started focusing on areas such as networking, connectivity, Zhang Huan in these areas include the intelligent home, said the company has explored power at this stage but not made public.

Lei feng's network (search for "Lei feng's network", public interest) had previously reported the Ayla: cheap Internet access plan. Ayla Networks wanted to deliver the WiFi module, IP gateways, and cloud services (user management device and application library) programme consists of three parts, creating an ecosystem of the Internet of things.

Lin Qianling is now engaged in the field of mobile social work, she creates a Chinese company called eggs. In her view, social is Facebook and micro-control between East and West, and the consequence of this is that all the information will be in accordance with the requirements of the control input and output to the user itself, there is no freedom. Eggs need to do is provide an open PaaS platform that allows developers to freely develop software on consumers has his own information.

End after the Group visited link, reporters came to the virtual reality experience zone to see what interesting product, it is also the only conference experience. Three interesting sense of virtual reality equipment: Cath Kidston note 4

The 2016 target of Bluetooth technology range increased his speed to redouble

　　Judging from the present situation, Bluetooth technology is mainly used for connecting to a wireless mouse, keyboard, headphones, wearable devices, and smart phones, and so on, according to foreign media reports PCWorld, Bluetooth technology the main tasks of the Union in 2016 will focus on intelligent home systems, such as smart bulbs, smart door locks, thermostats and more, of course, there are other aspects of the Internet.

　　Bluetooth technology Alliance (Bluetooth Special Interest Group, Bluetooth SIG for short) is a telecommunications, computer, automotive, industrial automation and networks transnational organization composed of leading manufacturers in the industry. They are committed to promoting the development of Bluetooth wireless technology, short-range wireless specification for connecting mobile devices to develop low-cost, and to market it.

　　Most noteworthy is that the purpose of the Alliance is the Bluetooth 4.0+ (also known as Bluetooth low power Bluetooth and Smart) technology to increase range of 396 meters. This means that user when I walked in the room, watch or fitness wristbands will not be disconnected from the mobile phone. Michael Kors air Case

　　In addition, if user intend to install outdoor motion sensor or lighting system, does not need WiFi or another long distance network connection technology can be connected to the hub and control.

　　It is understood that the Bluetooth SIG had announced in February this year, they will be in the next year on a mesh network standardization support. This will allow a range of Bluetooth devices to transfer data from one node to the next node, eventually covering the entire construction, so that the mesh network will no longer require a single control hub. Sonos wireless audio systems is a well-known mesh network equipment, although it was not used by Bluetooth technology.

　　In addition to these Internet applications, the Union also intends to not increase the energy consumption of Bluetooth data transfer speed to twice times the current speed, for battery-powered devices such as sensors, it is a factor worthy of consideration. According to the Union, said speed other than more beneficial to consumers, the device is particularly useful on a number of key areas, such as medical equipment.

　　However, the schedule did not have an immediate possibility of Bluetooth technology Alliance. Even if these features have developed, device manufacturers will take some time to apply them to products. At present, the Bluetooth SIG does not give a specific timetable, beginning of may until the end of 2016 or 2017, can we see more effectively, and support mesh network of Bluetooth products to enter the market.

　　Compared with other home automation protocol, Bluetooth technology has always been the advantage of lower energy consumption, but also its effective range was very limited. Bluetooth technology Alliance is seeking a satisfactory solution, so that it can become a protocols such as ZigBee and z-wave of competitors.

　　In other words, the smart home of the war does not end in a short period, however, competition between different protocols so that they are becoming more powerful with each other, which is good news for consumers. Michael Kors iPad air Cases

Guess what this is what

This gorgeous styling, is a hair-do? Answers Refer to content ~

Did you guess? It is incredibly vase!

Architect Aristotelis Barakos opened up an unprecedented opening for vase hanging life! This class t-shaped vase of white look like a simple and low-key, it actually has two functions of three-point design:

First, the function of the two functions are the watering can and vase. Right, didn't hear wrong, this is both a watering can and a vase. Cylindrical handle used for carrying water, openings used to insert at the top of the flower, this is very easy to understand, just like an ordinary vase. Most interesting is that watering can function, which naturally brings me to just say three-point design. It is vase, not specifically does not say much. Two point design is the spray nozzle. A continuation of duck-billed as a flower arrangement slightly upward outlet, due to drought, when the plants need a lot of water, poured directly on the roots, of firm leak. Another is with a water spout in the opposite direction, covered with circular water eye, like a shower. On green leaves and shoots when water is needed, grab handle to spout side tilt, water flowing down and moisten. Very intimate design it?

Vases all over white flower has bright yellow, blue, purple colors optional, adding shape is difficult, and most of the flowers are very congenial. When watering the flowers when you are finished, then do not use up the water had been drained, directly flowers inside, put on the table in front of the window, or, you might become a punch line.

How to move in the virtual reality Virtuix Omni treadmill

Players move in virtual reality? VR Shinecon virtual reality headset

When you wear the Oculus Rift virtual reality head-mounted device, your natural instinct is by walk or run to explore this simulated environment around you. virtual reality headset

Virtuix Omni is a was designed to solve the problem of virtual reality treadmill at the CES in Las Vegas this year, Virtuix were exhibited at the company this product, but this version is the final consumer of the product design, consumer versions and show no change in the overall design of the product, but there will be changes on the material.

Virtuix Omni's booth is located next to the Oculus VR booth, and it's hard to say which booth is more appealing to the audience's attention. People will stop in front of the booth Virtuix Omni the trendy use of photos and videos, the tester addicted to wearing Oculus Rift, waving the plastic gun, and treadmill as a battlefield in the game and "fight".

Virtuix Omni from birth until now have been there for some time, on the Kickstarter's activities as of July last year and had raised more than $ 1 million. Virtuix then a month ago raised $ 2.7 million in funding at present, this product is available for $ 499 price make a reservation.

Virtuix you want to use Omni is a bit cumbersome. Users must wear special shoes with low friction, which can let you run on the treadmill.

According to Virtuix the booth staff, attached to the bottom of each shoe a Omini sensors, and this was the place where miracles happen. These sensors can track a user's walking or running speed, and speed into the game, so you are moving at the same speed in the game.

Wear good shoes, users need to provide protective belt strap Virtuix Omni, the protection need to be tied to the user's waist and thighs. Although this protection with no provides what technology support, in game in also up not to any role, even user in game process in the not using Omni provides of protection with also no relationship, but protection with can protection user in run and body Qian pour Shi not occurred fell of situation, it can release you of hands still let you of balance, such user on can took with controller or plastic gun, products in game in the garden.

Last step is to put on the Oculus Rift produced the headset. Of course, with the development of virtual reality technologies and products, future Virtuix Omni supports not only Oculus Rift.

On Virtuix Omni running feeling and we run on the ground varies widely. Virtuix on the Omni, the user's feet rarely leave the surface. Instead, more is the feet continually slipping.

Now, on Virtuix Omni, the good news is that it can run all game perfect, because it's basically just a user in the real pace of identification in each direction, and passes the information to the game, like when users use the game controller to play the game and use the handle direction joystick control.

But Virtuix the mobile Omni's shortcoming is that it is not very accurate, this also means that until this problem is not resolved, Virtuix Omni range limited to precision requirements of the game; in addition, the user in case of not turning, there is no way to move to the rear.

All in all, Virtuix Omni seems to have the final version ready for the official release. Company plans in 2015, the first half of the sale of the product, consumers get product exhibition will be replaced by a wooden frame on a metal frame, and the consumer version is detachable for storage because Virtuix Omni is too bulky, takes up a lot of space.

Fingerprint recognition

OPPO R9 contrast Galaxy S6 edge+

OPPO R9 with a positive fingerprint identification module, although the official without too much publicity of the fingerprint identification, but I always think it is the OPPO R9 the biggest highlight. OPPO r uses zirconium gemstones as fingerprint press materials, the 8.5 Mohs hardness, with higher dielectric constants of Sapphire, makes fingerprint identification is more sensitive.

Netizens believe that OPPO R9 fingerprint to unlock eliminates excessive animation, so it looks "fingerprint to unlock very fast", so in the test, we used the same no fingerprint to unlock Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ excessive animation test. We put out the screen, bright screen contrast in both cases a combination of fingerprint to unlock speed OPPO R9 with visible advantages big lead ... ...

Summary

OPPO adds fingerprints, on the basis of R7, R9 camera, a border narrower and more compact, although the performance increase is unlikely, but the OPPO's strategy. Due to multi-core cell phone down the street today, it is difficult to allow consumers to directly below the line understand the performance of a mobile, OPPO phone upgrade in appearance, technology, fingerprint, self-timer and so on other aspects, these factors can even ignore online instead of offline users are most concerned about several points.
