When you need to have a good trade-off between immersive VR experience vs Cost, Mobile VR is one of the best technologies that can offer an incredible VR experience with most of the headsets. Moreover, there is no burden in setting up the device as it hardly takes a couple of minutes to boot the application and make it running. Mobile VR is not anymore just confined to walking around a 360-degree view, but it has got a potential to replicate the true immersive feel with motion tracking and Stream VR that you get with HTC Vive or Oculus or any other desktop HMD's.

 

 

Mobile VR has always been criticized for the interaction and content. The emergence of NOLO,  to a certain extent, make up for this shortcoming.

 

Although mobile VR has always been considered as one of the main development directions of VR, there are two major stumbling blocks in its development - positioning, and interaction. However, with the advent of this product today, the challenges of mobile VR interaction and positioning is no longer a hurdle. NOLO uses self-developed "PolarTraq" space positioning technology. The system includes a base station with a lifetime of about 4 hours, a helmet positioner, a Headset Marker powered by the OTG connected mobile devices and a pair of interactive controllers with a Lifetime of about 7 hours for mobile VR to provide 6DoF space positioning and interactive features. 

 

NOLO's range of positioning can reach the Room-Scale level, enough to meet the vast majority of users in the virtual world. NOLO's biggest killer is its powerful compatibility. First of all, it can take all kinds of "Cardboard" on the market, such as common Google Daydream View and Samsung Gear VR. It also supports Steam VR. so just use an Android mobile phone with any one of the mobile VR headsets, and then NOLO connected with the PC, you can enjoy the immersive Steam VR game. Also, its SDK will make the developer's life much easier to develop stream VR applications for the mobile devices.

​

NOLO Although the most simple "smartphone + mobile Headset" program will be able to experience Stream VR games, but the phone's performance, screen resolution/material, headset’s angle of view, and the degree of comfort, to some extent affect the experience and need to be addressed. So while this device offers positioning and interaction solutions, there is still a huge difference in the quality when compared to the "benchmark" VR headset such as the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive

 

Overall, NOLO VR is unique in today's marketplace and its team has the perfect combination of technology and market requirements.
