Great Smartphone VR goggles for eyeglass wearers
virtual reality - the no longer quite so new, but steadily developed technologywith which you can dive in artificial worlds, is on everyone's lips. With the Smartphone VR goggles, the applications have conquered this year after Gamescom 2016 the mass market. Many manufacturers rely on these VR glasses which are for very little money. On these models, there are however large differences in quality. By the little cardboard from Google for a few euros, up to the comfortable version, which can cost up to 100 euro, there is a huge range. I have tested the Esky-ES VR01 3D VR glasses which priced to attract is in the bottom third, for you. Look at the here collected pros and cons of VR goggles by Esky itself, to see whether this model could be the right thing to immerse themselves in virtual realities.
Packaging and delivery
after two days delivery time the VR glasses arrived safely at me. The stable soda carton, which is used for the packaging, not much reveals what makes him a possible surprise gift. The actual product box is white and inside a white sleeve on which is to see a graphical representation of the VR goggles and the logo on the top. The unprinted cardboard under the sleeve is bonded poorly and dissolves on one side out of the box (one with Ubaldo about it and now everything is fixed). The glasses that must be assembled not only lies through a thin, transparent plastic bag in a box protected.
Are in the carton:
- The ES-VR01-3D-VR glasses by Esky
- a cleaning cloth
- a small, narrow, with self adhesive, piece of foam with cut-outs
- a brief manual in English
- a warranty card

facilities of the Smartphone-VR glasses
the VR goggles headset arrives assembled with adjustable head harness and slide bar for smartphones. Unfortunately, there are no remote or other M & valid; options how you could play a game with the glasses. There were only a foam adhesive buffer to protect of the Smartphonetasten and a cleaning cloth for the lenses. Directions for use it is very poor in English and would have can be omitted too, because you get no useful information. Also, there is not a QR code to an appropriate app.
Dimensions and weight
the VR goggles weighs 36.2 grams without Smartphone and has the size 19.6 cm width (widest point), 13.5 cm in length and 9.5 cm depth (deepest point). The lateral rubber/nylon head harness is approximately 15 cm on each side long unstretched and the strap of the harness that runs up over the head, is 30 cm long. The flexible mind plate has the dimensions 12 x 8 x 0.3 cm. The lenses have a radius of 3 cm. The rubber adhesive item is 5 cm long, has three slots for each 1.5 cm, which can be separated out. The mobile rail offers maximum 16.2 cm in length and 8 cm in the wide square in in length for smartphones. Minimally, the mobile phone must be 6 cm in width for the holder to take. The mass, which the manufacturer calls differ slightly, but I have just measured and weighed.
Headtracking
the VR glasses fitted with Headtracking, which you can control with the head to some extent and to 360-degree look around. This is a great feature for playing together with a remote controller. You must purchase a controller but extra to do so.
Smartphonegrößen
the information for the possible matching Smartphonegrößen of the manufacturer's I could not measure (our Samsung Galaxy 5 s and Apple iPhone 4S fit), therefore these statements come from the manufacturer. It should be not suitable for the Smartphone LG 4 G and nexus 6 p and otherwise universally for Smartphones that will comply with these dimensions, fit:
- length: 11.5 to 16.5 cm
- width: 5,86 to 7.8 cm
- thick/depth: 0.7 to 0.95 cm
correction possibilities:
focal length at +/-0.87 mm distance from the pupil at 5.8-7.1 cm for short-sighted there the note "up to 600 degrees "- I don't know what unfortunately the manufacturer so
spectacle wearers note
thinks the distance from the adjacent to the face part of the Memoryschaumstoffs on the lenses is 2 cm, which is true, but glasses under the VR goggles may be worn at the shortest point. Field of view: 95 to 100 degrees,
appearance and processing the VR glasses
nothing smells chemically and I can notice any processing error. Everything is very clean and makes a good impression. The large but lightweight plastic housing is deposed, black with white and shaped like a mask. The pad wreath of surface with fabric and synthetic leather corners, which absorbs the distance between lens and face, nestles on the face of the wearer and completes the flush and opaque. The carrying harness is very high quality and can be anywhere to adjust and adapt. A plate made of flexible plastic, which ensures that it has optimum grip and even during hectic head movements, nothing slip is located at the back of the head. The front of the VR goggles has a track that you can slide to the side. Above on the unit, the only operating elements are in the form of a switch per page, with which you can set the viewport to set it appropriately to the booth of the eye and a slider for adjusting the distance from Smartphone to the lens to sharpen it.
Commissioning of the VR glasses
first, you install a matching app. The manufacturer recommends unfortunately making anything other than download the app or the player iTunes, Google play or similar platforms. Sure it would have taken much. You should just make sure that it is either a software that splits the movies, or is the same for split "cardboard media". Now the video is adjusted so, that you must press only play. Front glasses behind the cover of the slot for the holding bar of smartphones is right. If the Smartphone using adhesive foam is ideal (without buttons pressing the retaining bar) and centrally clamped and if is the video, pushing up the bar only. Now it puts on the VR goggles, adjusting the safety belts and is using the two setting options on the O berseite the sharpness and the distance to optimally a. There's more to do — now you can the cardboard movies or (with appropriate software) enjoy the 360-degree videos. Also board games can be played with corresponding remote control.
Practice test
a Samsung Galaxy were during the practice test an iPhone 4S and 5s. First of all, I opted for no app and have just searched YouTube for "Cardboard". None of the Smartphones fitted with protective cover onto the shelf, so that had to be removed. On the iPhone, there were no problems with the control knobs, given that they are not so centered, at the Galaxy had to with the enclosed adhesive foam repaired are, for the insertion does not suddenly down to the Smartphone. After that was done, I could see the found cardboard films. I opted for a 5-minute roller coaster, a 10-minute underwater world and 15-minute horror flick. The roller coaster has a slight ghosting in a scene, otherwise I had nothing wrong. Then I installed the cardboard-app and so tried out a few things. The small iPhone I could still see outside the housing. Only the screen was in the Galaxy. The fact that an opening at the slot allows to load the Smartphone while you look for movies, is super, since VR videos need much battery power. It was a lot of fun, but not a total immersion into alien worlds, because here the sound should be also 360 degrees and Smartphone speaker rather mau are as well as the sight too tight for a "midnight" is experience, but it was still great. Overall, I was probably an hour the VR goggles and have felt no pressure or sweating. I could not play the games due to lack of controller.
Conclusion
The seat fits like a glove, is light and air, but not translucent. The possibility to adjust the lens is ideal for someone with mild short term like me, and I have can enjoy much the cardboard movies during the test. The ghost only at very rapid image change and much movement was rare and minimal. Without remote control I could test unfortunately no games with the VR goggles, so I can express no recommendation here. But for the glasses is just great for movie watching.
