Zeiss VR One Features
A key feature of the Zeiss VR One Connect is its wireless 3DoF controllers. 3DoF means that three degrees of freedom motion axes are recorded by the sensors. You can do this by tilting it forwards, swiveling to the left or right, and rotating your wrist. These two controllers are compact and lightweight. Also, these are easy to grip with ergonomic shape and non-slip surface. The controllers and the smartphone are linked via Bluetooth. You can operate the VR games through the integrated touchpads and trigger buttons. The sensors in the controllers and in the smartphone, enable you to interact with the VR experience with great ease. Moreover, Steam platform VR games can be played on a smartphone with the help of this VR headset. Zeiss VR One Connect has been optimized for use with SteamVR and works with its current games. To those who are unaware, Steam is one of the world’s largest online marketplaces for computer games and software based on VR content.
