Chapter 275 Three-dimensional holographic meeting and office
Lucy said lightly: "In order to have a better sense of the scene, our setup is to show all objects within a diameter of 1 meter around the user. The chairs and conference tables have been 3D scanned and molded before, so they can be seen immediately. If it is not molded, it will take 10 seconds to render it, because it takes 10 seconds to 3D scan and model objects such as chairs, conference tables, sofas, etc. ”
"Oh. I see. This kind of setting that even the surrounding objects can be photographed into the three-dimensional hologram and then projected out is definitely an unexpected surprise, but at this time, Xu Xincheng is of course more interested in his own three-dimensional hologram, he hurriedly lowered his head slightly, and looked at "himself" carefully.
To be honest, this feeling and experience of looking at "himself", looking at "himself" who is only 8 centimeters tall, is really amazing, and at the same time, he also feels a little strange in his heart. That image is both "self" and not "self", and that "self" is so small that it is more like a doppelganger, a miniature version of the doppelganger.
The clarity of this 8-centimeter-tall image is still very good, and you can see your face very clearly, even if you just smile, you can see the subtle smile marks on your face.
Lucy whispered, "When you're on a 3D holographic call, that's what the other person can see, and you can see something like that. ”
"Lucy, after seeing this image, I realized that our 3D holographic photography and projection are so good, and the technology is too advanced, especially its immediacy, which has reached a very high level, and I can't see the slightest lag. "Yes, the movement of that image is perfectly synchronized with his movement in reality, and that alone is enough to show how advanced the technology has become.
Xu Xincheng paused, pondered for a while, and several ideas immediately appeared in his mind, and he said excitedly: "In addition to three-dimensional holographic calls, there are many, many fields where our technologies can be applied, Lucy, have you considered entering other fields?"
"It's true that there are many areas where these technologies can be applied, and I want to hear your ideas and suggestions, but I have to make it clear that we have to make trade-offs and not enter too many areas, otherwise, we will not be able to take care of one or the other, and it will even affect the achievement of our biggest goals. ”
"Understood. There are so many areas we can go into, and I just thought of four. First, micro-UAVs. Our micro drone technology is so advanced, as long as we enter the drone market, whether it is a civilian drone, a commercial drone, or even a military drone, it is absolutely invincible. ”
"The drone market is a market with great potential, and in my plan, it is also a market that we will enter, but we will only enter the civilian and commercial drone market, not the military drone market. Lucy paused, his expression suddenly became very serious, and he said in a resolute tone: "Steve, I would like to take this opportunity to make a very important principle, that is, our company will never set foot in the military products market. ”
The reason why Xu Xincheng has such a proposal is because the technologies that Lucy just demonstrated can basically be applied to the military field, and many different military products can be developed, especially micro drone technology. He also proposed this for the sake of the company's future.
However, he never expected that Lucy would reject this proposal so decisively, looking at Lucy with such a serious look, Xu Xincheng was shocked, and it could be seen that Lucy completely disagreed with military products and the company's research and development and manufacturing of military products.
He immediately said, "Understood." We only enter the civilian and commercial drone market. He jot down the main points in his notebook as he spoke. Since Lucy didn't agree with it at all, he naturally had to change his mind, and besides, he wouldn't be bored to ask Lucy why he was so desperate, let alone try to convince her.
Xu Xincheng cleared his throat lightly, and then said, "My second proposal is a three-dimensional holographic conference. I'm referring to the projected image of the person and the real person in a 1:1 3D holographic meeting. That's what I just thought when I saw the chairs and conference tables that were projected. The scene of the 1:1 three-dimensional holographic meeting often appears in science fiction movies, and every time it appears, it gives people a very cool and very high-tech feeling.
Moreover, if we expand this idea a little further, then, we can also achieve 1:1 3D holographic office, companies that apply this technology, their employees can work from home, 3D holographic technology can project their holograms into the office, and at the same time, they can project the holograms of the office and all colleagues into their homes, so that they do not have to squeeze the bus to and from work every day, which can greatly improve the time efficiency of employees and the company. ”
Lucy calmly says, "With the technology we have, we are able to develop and manufacture the corresponding equipment. However, there is a big problem with it, which is that those devices are going to be very expensive, at least for eight to ten years. Therefore, in order to achieve 1:1 3D holographic conference and 3D holographic office, the company needs to invest heavily in the purchase of equipment.
In reality, there is a very good alternative, where you can have a meeting with colleagues thousands of miles away via video conferencing at a negligible cost. As for working from home, it can also be solved through multi-window video and surveillance, and its cost is also very low. In short, the vast majority of companies will not invest heavily to achieve 1:1 three-dimensional holographic office, that is to say, this market will be very small; as for the three-dimensional holographic conference, this market will not be very large, after all, there are still a few large companies and large organizations with strong financial strength. ”
Xu Xincheng listened, he was so ashamed that he didn't dare to look directly into Lucy's eyes, he lowered his head slightly, pretending to take notes, and at this moment, he suddenly understood that the reason why he made such a proposal was entirely because of his inherent "working mentality". The vast majority of workers want to be able to work from home, so that they don't have to squeeze the bus to and from work every day, and can have more time for rest and entertainment.
Xu Xinwei thought that in the past month or so, he has always done his best, and he has regarded the company as a writer and his own work as a mission, but now it seems that his "working mentality" has not been eradicated!
As a business owner, Lucy's starting point is the cost of achieving 1:1 3D holographic office, the benefits it produces, and whether there are alternatives. The vast majority of business owners will definitely come to the same conclusion as her, and as a result, they will not invest heavily in the realization of 1:1 3D holographic office.
Thinking of this, Xu Xincheng raised his head and said earnestly: "Lucy, I'm sorry! ”
