When OculusRift, HTCVive, and PlayStationVR were introduced in 2016, they were ridiculed for the price being too high. However, since the beginning of this year, the prices of the three VR headlines have dropped significantly, and prices have become even closer to the people. VR may still be a long way from the mainstream market, but VR's market share has steadily increased this year. Next, let's review the VR highlights (and dark spots) for the past year.
"The three major VR heads saw a significant drop in selling prices this year."
In 2017, HTCVive won a battle with Rift's personal computer VR head display. But it turns out that in the past year, the market has favored Facebook-supported platforms. Earlier this year, the Rift and Touch handles were introduced to the market at a combined purchase price of US$800 (approximately RMB5,294). By March, this price had dropped to US$600 (approximately RMB3,970). Oculus temporarily lowered the price of Rift and Touch handles to 400 US dollars (approximately RMB 2647) when it was discounted in summer, and it became a bestseller on Amazon's retail platforms. In October of this year, Oculus decided to keep the joint price of Rift and Touch handles at $400.
2017 is also the first year of the launch of the Touch controller. When it was first introduced, many users had problems with the tracking of the handles. Oculus had fixed these issues through software upgrades. There are now more than 300 games supported by the Oculus motion controller. In addition, Oculus announced the use of three sensors can achieve room location tracking - announced this 2016 test beta technology formally launched.
This year, Rift also launched many acclaimed exclusive games such as RoboRecall, LoneEcho, EchoArena, and Wilson's Heart. , "Arktika.1" and so on. Oculus announced at the Oculus Coonect4 conference in October that more exciting games will be launched, such as Ubisoft’s multiplayer online shooting game “SpaceJunkies†and Respawn Entertainment. 》 Inspirational VR game.
"Rift launched many acclaimed exclusive games this year."
In terms of the user interface, OculusStore obviously needs to be further improved, but the refund function has been added in OculusStore and the Dash desktop has been launched. Users can directly open Dash menus in VR games and pull their favorite desktop apps into VR. The interface operates.
At the end of the year, Oculus fulfilled its commitment to developing mobile VR and launched the Oculus GO all-in-one without the use of a mobile phone. In addition, Oculus also demonstrated a new generation of Santa Cruz head-up prototypes - including new motion handles and inside-out tracking, which allows 6 degrees of freedom without the need for an external tracker.
"Vive pushes new accessories, but the momentum is greatly reduced"
Earlier this year, HTC launched the exclusive Vive Deluxe AudioStrap. This headset device is lighter than a heavy head-mounted display. This is critical for Vive because the market generally believes that the Vive Head is the least comfortable in its class. At the same time, as the bundled price of Rift fell to 400 US dollars, HTC also quickly reduced the price from 800 US dollars to 600 US dollars.
Although Vive is still more expensive than Rift, its own ValveLighthouse tracking technology can directly implement room location tracking.
HTC has also introduced many other Vive accessories this year. TPCast is a third-party Vive wireless suite with extremely low latency. HTC also launched the Vive tracker, which allows players to use non-tracking features in VR, but time will tell if this tracker is useful to users.
This year, HTC also launched the Viveport App Store and subscription service. By subscribing, users can select up to five games for just $7 a month. However, many users point out that the codes for these games are very confusing and even appear as blue screens. This year, many users also complained about HTC's customer service and pointed out that they did not respond to the requirements for repairing and replacing products.
At the end of last year, Valve introduced the Knuckle handle, which can track the movement of each player's finger and easily grab virtual objects through the straps on the hands. Unfortunately, only a handful of developers still use this handle, and Valve has not announced the release date of the new handle. Earlier this year, Valve announced that it was working hard to develop three VR game masterpieces. It was rather disappointing that Valve has never released any game-related screenshots or content.
This year, SteamVR frequently launches various games. Outstanding include "Pavlov VR", which is called VR version "Counter Strike", and VR room to play the extreme arena mutual play game "Gorn" (Gorn), and Bethesda Yu Launched at the end of the "FalloutVR" and "DoomVFR".

PSVR leads VR sales
Recently, Sony announced that its PlayStation VR has sold more than 2 million head-mounted displays, demonstrating the high demand for VR for PS4 users.
Sony reduced the price of its head-tip display from US$400 to US$300. It also introduced a new PSVR kit that includes a PlayStation camera, a Move handle, and similar games from SkyrimVR and Doom VFR. The package price is 450. USD (approximately RMB 2,978). The middle part of the kit is properly adjusted and supports HDRPassthrough.
"Sony announced recently that PlayStation VR has sold more than 2 million head-mounted displays."
PSVR's "ResidentEvil7" and "Horizon VR" and other exclusive games largely contributed to PSVR sales. Sony introduced the Aim handle in the latest Farpoint, and the Aim handle also applies to Doom VFR. Sony launched a series of new VR games at the Paris Game Week in October, including "Blood & Truth" and "Megalith" - further fulfilling its firm commitment to VR.
Since the PlayStation camera and Move handle are not designed for VR, many users have called for Sony to upgrade the tracking system and launch a special joystick with a joystick.
Other event summary
The 8KVR head of Pimax exceeded the Oculus Rift's Kickstarter and became the strongest crowdfunding VR headshot.
At the end of this year, Microsoft and hardware partners Acer, Lenovo, and HP jointly launched a mixed reality VR headset.
Lenovo and Disney jointly launched a $200 (arbitrage RMB1,323) AR head-up, and can play "Star Wars: The Jedi Knights" in conjunction with mobile phones.
in conclusion
VR did not fully capture the mass market this year, but even the most disruptive technologies will take several years to penetrate the mainstream market. The development of VR is bound to face many hidden dangers. For example, the CCP game company announced that it will stop VR game development. VR can use more AAA-level big production games, but people should realize that VR is still relatively new technology, and these large-scale games usually take several years of development time.
Both Oculus, HTC and Sony lowered their head-display prices, which further boosted VR's market share. Given that VR is still an emerging technology in development, many third-party developers have chosen to launch their games simultaneously on the three major VR platforms. In fact, many exciting games like "RecRoom" and "Star Trek BridgeCrew" can be cross-platform. All of these contributions have helped boost the development of the VR industry.
