VR has become more and more people's hearts, summer is coming, playing a VR game in the room can be described as cool to fly. But I don't know if you have had such an embarrassing experience: playing too hard and sweating, fog covered with VR helmets, wet lenses, blurred your sight... If you have experienced and After you have been distressed, your gospel will come! Now find a new weapon to play VR.
ViveNchill is a new spiral cooling system with two inclined fans. Developers said: The device will help eliminate fog in VR helmets and prevent you from sweating with VR, making you cooler.
It is understood that ViveNchill is also a prototype device developed by RedRotor. The company mainly engaged in the development of unmanned aerial vehicle components and accessories. It is now shifting its focus to VR.
RedRotor stated that ViveNchill has passed a series of tests, following strict manufacturing standards. It is reported that ViveNchill is equipped with a low-cost, quiet-running, light-weight system that is easy to operate and efficient to operate. It is installed on the HTCVive device, allowing the device to cool quickly, giving the user a refreshing experience.
It is worth mentioning that the working principle of ViveNchill is not to inject air into the device to achieve the purpose of cooling, but to install it on the top of the HTCVive device with the fan tilted towards the user's forehead. The fan is powered by the USB port on the top of the Vive and has an on/off button. Through this principle, ViveNchill can reduce the heat accumulated in HTCVive devices.
At the same time, the sound produced by the fan is only 23 decibels. Once the user is immersed in the VR world, almost no noise can be heard. Therefore, ViveNchill is suitable for users who use the Vive equipment for a long time or in hot summer.
Tony Tran, co-designer of ViveNchill, said:
Initially, we tried many fan types and structures and focused on injecting air into the equipment to achieve cooling. But soon, we realized that this kind of operation would bring a series of bad user experiences, such as the eyes are easy to dry, the noise is too loud, the air flow is too slow and so on. Finally, we found that dissipating the heat from the user's forehead and tilting the fan toward the user's forehead can solve the above problems and the cooling effect will be greatly improved.
Now, RedRotor plans to crowdfund ViveNchill on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter. Currently, ViveNchill's pricing is quite low, only 25-32 US dollars. In this way, ViveNchill is very powerful and the price is very good.
