Mi VR Play is an entry-level product that seeks to bring the VR experience to a much wider audience. It has already caused a stir in China as Xiaomi received 1 million registrations within eight hours of the announcement of the product on 1 August in China.
Wrapped in lightweight, durable Lycra for long-lasting comfort, it is available in a selection of bold prints and colours. The unique two-way zipper helps ensure compatibility, providing a secure grip on smartphones. The dual openings on the front allow the slight positioning adjustments and ventilation.
Launched together with Mi VR Play is the Mi VR app, an open platform incorporating an extensive library of content from partners.
