How to cool down a hot mobile VR headset?
At present, when users experience mobile VR, they will inevitably encounter the problem of mobile phone heating affecting the user experience, but there is no technology to overcome this problem. We know that computer vision recognition needs to process a lot of data. If we want to achieve 90FPS built-in location tracking on a mobile phone, the heat of the mobile phone will reach an unbearable level.
Although there is no technology to solve the fever problem, lowering the temperature of the mobile phone should still alleviate the fever problem to a certain extent. The following VR Daily introduces two mobile VR cool tips for users:
Cold compress eye mask: This kind of eye mask is not unfamiliar to everyone. There are many similar products on a certain treasure. If the user feels that the mobile VR glasses are too hot after a period of experience, they can wear the eye mask to cool down, which can effectively extend the experience time. Although the professionalism of equipment needs to be improved, the effect of "water cooling" is believed to be very good.
VR cooling fan: This cooling method is the same as the cooling fan on the computer. The device that can be used on the cover of the VR glasses can effectively dissipate heat. You don't need to wear a fan or air conditioner for VR experience.
At the same time, in order to facilitate carrying and use, VR glasses are often made as lighter and thinner as possible. Because VR glasses have built-in processing chips and circuits, the thinner and lighter the VR glasses, the smaller the internal heat dissipation space. These will lead to poor heat dissipation effect, and long-term use will produce fog and water droplets on the surface, which will affect the observation effect.
In addition to using a cooling fan, the most commonly used heat dissipation method is conduction heat dissipation. The gap between the heating element and the shell can be filled with interface materials such as thermal silica gel, thermal gel or thermal phase change material of Xinche Electronics, and the heat can be quickly dissipated Conducted to the shell. It can solve the heat dissipation problem of VR equipment due to the small confined space.
The above two methods only cool the temperature of the headset within a certain period of time, and cannot solve the fundamental problem. To bring users a comfortable VR experience, technical research still has a long way to go.
