Xiaomi Mi VR Play 2

The second generation of affordable VR glasses from Xiaomi, designed to work in tandem with smartphones, is assembled in a new “body” with components similar to its predecessor on the technical side of the issue.

Notes of minimalism

The appearance of the mobile helmet is dominated by notes of minimalism: the “dragon fabric” upholstery, as the Chinese manufacturer of the device calls the combination of materials used, is distinguished only by the presence of a small “Mi” logo on the front panel, and the goggles are fastened to the head using a nylon strap on Hook-and-loop. The comfortable fit of the gadget contributes to a long pastime in the virtual world without the slightest sign of fatigue. The weightlessness of the helmet on the head is also given by the light weight of the product — only 183 g.

VR content generation

Devices with a screen size of 4.7 to 5.7" are placed in the grooves for attaching a smartphone. The VR content generator is a number of virtual reality applications available for download in the Play Market, in particular, the “native” programme Mi VR Play, which strongly reeks of Chinese, or Google Cardboard. The client from the "corporation of goodness" allows you to take virtual tours of famous landmarks, view panoramic videos and play games with a 360° viewing angle. Other applications are also suitable for the role of software, it is recommended to try them personally.

Entrance ticket to the world of VR

For user interaction with virtual reality, the model is equipped with a single button. In other cases, changing the parameters is done by removing the smartphone from the "seat". In the bottom line, Xiaomi Mi VR Play 2 can be safely called an entrance ticket to the world of mobile VR, which provides remarkable abilities for little money.
