Xiaomi Yi – Interactive Virtual Tour

Xiaomi Yi has became one of the most popular cameras of the year in just a few months after its release. My review of this camera became one of the most visited pages on the website. I compared this this tiny action cam and wrote about its best accessories.

So is there anything else that can be said about it? Hell yeah!

I have been receiving quite a lot of emails from guys asking  what particular button does, what icon on the app means, etc. Even though I wrote about most of this already, we all are visual human beings, and we all like presentations rather than boring text, right?

That is why I decided to create a virtual tour of Xiaomi YI showcasing product in an interactive and fun way, which you can use as a interactive manual of some sort.

Enough talking, time for a tour! To infinity and beyond!

Interactive Xiaomi YI

Here is little experiment I was working on. If you wish to have near real-life experience on how to use Xiaomi YI, feel free to click on a button or a toolbar icon depicted in the image below. Once you click on it, the short instruction on what a button does will appear on the left side of the image, or above the photo, if you are on a mobile device.

Virtual tour

When buying a product, sometimes it is really hard to know exactly how it looks like. That is why modern day web stores implement videos, and even 360 degrees view. Unfortunately, so far I was unable to find such good presentation of YI, so I decided to create one of my own. Screw you rich corporations, I am doing this my way.

I hope this virtual tour helped you understand how Xiaomi YI looks from all angles.
But, wait, since YI does not have an LCD display, all settings can only be changed via the app. “And how does app work?”
I am so glad, you asked, because I will demonstrate that to you as well in next few paragraphs.

Your two cents, ideas, questions and contribution?

That’s it for now. If you have an idea how to improve this virtual presentation or want to contribute in any way,  just drop a comment below. Found a mistake or have a questions? I will be glad to answer and help you out. Just hit that post a comment button and make your voice heard. Don’t be shy.

At the end, if you found this page helpful, please help me out and share it with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or Reddit. That would spread a word about this website of mine.

Until next time, to infinity and record!
