Viiwok Deva HMD - Mobile Gaming

Hi,
My name is Dragos and I'm the founder and senior designer of Viiwok, a startup which builds VR adapters and controllers.
More specifically we're currently in the final testing rounds of the first mobile HMD in the world. It's basically a hybrid tablet adapter with integrated, discrete headtracking sensors (as in not using the tablet's gyro/accelerometer sensors).
What it does is letting you slide in any 7" tablet and wirelessly displaying stereographic 3D video feed from the computer. It's basically a mobile Oculus Rift and a future proof product as well, since we're not constrained of resolution and hardware issues - because you can always use the latest and most powerful tablet at your disposal. The headtracking has basically zero latency and the FOV is about 120 degrees, using specially designed aspheric lenses with a 2" diameter for each eye. Besides native 3D support in certain titles (Crytek titles made with Cryengine, DOOM 3 BFG, etc.), we can also use TriDef for realtime side-by-side 3D rendering of currently unsupported games.
While gaming is our main scope, the HMD could be also used for virtual tourism and landscaping, in medicine (disabled or severely handicapped persons) or CAD design. Our next project to be launched is an omnidirectional treadmill which detects your body movements in real time (walking, jumping, crouching), much like a Kinnect, but without the back-facing and latency constraints.
Right now we're using Gamepad THD and Kainy for the video feed, but also Limelight for native Shield streaming ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505510&page=15 ) while also developing our own video streaming solution in house.

Here are a couple of pictures with the 3D printed prototype. Of course, the final design will be much more streamlined and ergonomic.

Its great more people are trying to push to VR.

1. It's completely mobile, no cables dangling around you.
2. It's future proof, whatever tablet you'll buy in the future it's going to be more powerful than the Oculus Rift. Powerful GPU, HD resolution, etc. You don't need to buy a special device in order to play, almost everyone has a tablet these days so you don't need to invest separately.
3. It's interchangeable with other tablets, so you can share it with your friends.
4. Price MOD EDIT: Discussion of pricing would be an advertisement which is not allowed on XDA
5. Because competition is healthy, especially in VR, and especially at this incipient stage. More indie producers, more views on the subject, more interest, more money pouring in. Oculus Rift was a simple ideea, like ours, at first, and look how far they reached.
6. Because you'll make us happy this Christmas :angel:

Inpic i7 update
UPDATE
A well presented device.
With the few extra bits supplied to make up lack of USB ports
A flashy looking programmable remote that has a few already preprogrammed features
Select Vod button up comes You tube, Select TV and Kodi runs
TV-SYS brings up HDMI resolution settings and Setup straight to lollipop settings.
Red Standby and Blue power on LED on the front, and remote works as you would hope to control Media Player.
All can be easily altered to suit your individual needs
4 to 5 meters line of site seems achievable.
The Inphic Spot i7 does have root.
Being a 1/8 gb units can struggle a little when pushed
Running a few bench mark test it was noticed.
This is Inphics first release of Lollipop 5.1 so a few quirks yet to be sorted.
First turn and setup Google and update no problems,
Found Twitter, Skye, Facebook, Currents not big space takers removed.
Plex, Netflix, Hulu, Chrome, Mxplayer and few other Google apps
My unit can run HOT seen the temp get over 100c with certain benchmark test.
Vellemo and Antutu you could see it trying and struggled just a little.
Kodi struggled a little showing 2 CPU one at 100% then the some Skipping noted.
Wifi speed is OK compared to others I use with the same setup/location
Updating apps/downloading from Google over wifi speed was good.
As this is the first of the Lollipop from Inphic there will be a few things to sort out.
The Guys at inphic appear to be having a go with products so we can hope for some good support.
I was hopping for a new Rom or update by now but with Holidays in China just finished can take a bit to get back into action
too much party time...
Overall a pretty good Unit a few updates needed and should be a handy streaming device for your collection
More as it comes

Looks to have good ground clearance for the vents. Cable hang could cause a wheelie. SPDIF or A/V jack? Looking forward to reviews on the S912 devices.

I see after a closer look. Thanks for the YT.

Received this today, nothing on screen when plugged in, with multiple cables, on all inputs into working outlets. Remote doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong?

I don't have one of these, but some general things to check. Any LEDs on? Do you have a way to check the power supply/power adapter?

Nope, no LEDs showing on box. Don't know how to test power adapter.

If you know someone with a multi-meter or other voltage tester, perhaps they could check it for you. If you want to try it yourself, it is a simple test and many cheap multi-meters are readily available for $7-$10(USD). Power adapters are relatively common fail point on these types of devices.
You could also find a substitute power adapter, but it is very important that the substitute matches the original. This information can be found on the power adapter....
-Volts DC=Volts DC(Must match exactly)
-Amps=Or greater
-Tip Polarity(Must match exactly) ie Tip positive or Tip negative, usually indicated by symbols like these...
-Connector size and type must match(fit)

So are the Nexbox A1, Yundoo Y2, Vensmile A1 all made by the same company, Shenzhen Visson Technology Co? Looks like they are the ODM for quite a few others as well.
It may help with potential firmware development.

Bought this box, and it is problems with Tvheadend and Amlogic S912 in Kodi. It will not use HW acceleration in HD Live TV. ?

Would anyone know where I can get un-rooted firmware for this box?

Just unroot the firmware? I need to do this as well, but havn't tried yet.

What's in the Box: Very thin,
Ports, That's it no more.
Pop the base : Note heat sink slightly raised
Casing
Remove PCB
CPU Side
Other side: Not a lot here at all
Found Heat sink being raised by another component, removed and relocated back a little
As seem small PCB not bad looking,
Running 32bit Android 8.1 and must say its performing well:

A95X PLUS TV Box 4/32GB Amlogic S905 Y2 A8.1 Dual WiFi, BT4, DDR4
Start up very easy easy, with wizard
Wifi excellent on 5g and easy setup, Google login.
Update apps and installed testers etc all good.
Surprised to see upper and lower Bars and has a root switch
Bit more imagination with the launcher would be a nice change.
Bit of Junk in the Trunk, some may like.
Looks like Kodi/TVMC 17.6
DRM is Level 3, no HD Netflix 480 only
Remote working pretty good,
Temps also pretty cool if accurate.
No many ports, a USB Hub can take care of that
No Ethernet will upset some ,however I am finding WiFi is pretty good.
So far so good I guess pretty zippy
Lets look at some more:
Start up Wizard, UI and Installed apps etc
Push Menu Button a few time you get into the Self Test
DRM L3
Ram and Storage Truth
Antutu
CPU-Z .gif
Geekbench CPU: > http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/10723794
Geekbench Compute:
Aida64 .gif
Sd Card test
3DMARK
Give this a run, not expecting anything wonderful,
Just a bit of a IDEA like most bench test and scores.
Should do Ok for, for the less demanding Apps and Games.
YT with Current install version Playing 1080p max
Prime Video working 480p at a guess looks ok
As also Netflix 480p watchable on Under 40 inch TV easy.
I mentioned WiFi was good and connection 866 to router
More or Advanced settings, forgot to mention.
OTA updates.
Settings of Video yet to suss this one out
Installed the Microsoft Launcher was ok Remote got lost a bit.
Also Installed a BT remote, Mi Box, worked well no Talk option in this Rom
Would be great to see Devs get into this one,
Optimize it to the Hilt,
With pretty good Ram(DDR4), lots of it 4/32, Great Wifi, and can keeps its Cool with no vents.
Could be the next BIG little thing, for under $50

A95X plus 4/32
I have this box and I'm satisfied. IR remote is only bed side. Work only for distance of 2-3 meters. When remove plastic cover from box, then worked good. I planing to extend IR diodes with wires from board to outside. I think that's is good solution.

What's in the Box
Bit of a look around lots of ports
My Fav Vents
Space for HDD/SSD
Small Vesa type Bracket to mount behind TV or Anywhere
On with some test, Startup and bit of a look around of Windows.
Unit fired up easy, all setup ready to go more or less, Activated all good.
Bit of a clean up of things I don't use cut down the start menu size,
Little bit of customising,
Do a Defender scan, start to install some testing programs.
Meantime WIndows Update has Started to do its thing, took about 1.5 hour plus by the time it downloaded and I was doing a defender scan... and mucking around but all good in the end, and on the latest I think from MS$..
The Update left about 30GB of the Previous windows on the Hard disk I quick clean and now 20GB used,
Running Just the Stock supplied version of windows no extra HDD etc and will see how it all goes.
WiFi ethernet all good and speeds excellent.
Setup etc all smooth no problems
The Alfawise T1 is moving along nicely, all good with Netflix, Apps etc, no DRM monkey business here.
for its CPU, Ram Size fixed at 4/64GB cant add but should be able to do most and for the price.
Benchmarks and Stuff to follow, just to give an Idea, we are aware it's not a Killer Speed Demon
Small Home Office, lots of uses, Heat No problem, No fan Noise.
Should be able to find a Use for it easy.
WIndows all Activated
Hdd and network easy found on boot
Device Manager Main Bits
