Chapter 652: Press Conference (2)
In fact, as early as the 90s, the theory of virtual technology was very mature, but the corresponding VR headset was still a conceptual product. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In 1991, a VR headset called "Virtuality-1000CS" appeared to show the embarrassment of VR products: bulky shape, single function, and high price.
Despite this, the spark of VR games was also planted during this period, but the steps are too big, it is easy to pull eggs, and it is sometimes difficult to support the cruel reality with too advanced thinking. Nintendo's 1995 Virtual-Boy console was named one of the "50 worst inventions of all time" by Time magazine. "Virtual-Boy" survived on the market for only six months before disappearing, and the first attempts at VR games disappeared.
Since then, VR has been poured cold water, and the research boom has been sluggish in an instant!
Just imagine, even the game giant Nintendo has fallen into the sand on this, who would dare to try it easily?!
Others don't dare, but Henry dare!
As a reborn person, he knew that VR was the trend of the future, so he did not hesitate to recruit Gunpei Yokoi, the leader of Nintendo's hardware department, to join Atari and mainly engage in VR research. After 12 years, the development of VR technology in the outside world is very slow, but within Atari, the technology has developed rapidly, and now it is quite mature!
In the previous life, the reason why VR became popular again was because in 2012, a newly established company named Oculus started a crowdfunding plan for VR equipment on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter, and then it was acquired by Facebook for $2 billion! As one of the high-tech giants, Facebook's every move has attracted the attention of many media and companies! When others saw that Facebook had entered the VR market, it showed that this market had great potential, so they quickly followed suit. The world's major high-tech giants, Google, Microsoft and other companies are not far behind and have entered the VR market!!
As soon as Henry's words fell, the audience couldn't help but be in an uproar.
Not to mention how mature VR technology has become, just using brainwaves to control game characters is already shocking!
In fact, many journalists were very skeptical of what Henry said.
In their extremely limited cognition, VR technology is still very immature, bulky and expensive, and the degree of virtual reality is at best unsatisfactory, far from the immersive feeling! Not to mention the black technology of using brainwaves to control game characters.
It's just that Henry Chrysostom opened and never lied, so it was difficult for people to question his words, and they were quite conflicted in their hearts.
Seeing is believing!
Henry naturally understood this truth, and he immediately asked people to "put on props" and took out VR helmets and brainwave helmets respectively.
The VR helmet bids farewell to the previous rough benzene, the design is simple, white, lightweight, and looks like a pair of glasses, while the EEG helmet is like a metal women's bell hat popular in the United States from the 20s to 1933, with a large number of built-in sensors that can accurately collect the brainwaves of the human brain. Henry pointed to these two things and introduced: "This one on the left is a VR headset, and this one on the right is a brainwave headset! As you can see, the two functions of VR and brainwaves are not combined at the moment. But we're confident that it's not too much of a problem. Now, I'll first let you show you the function of the brainwave helmet individually!" After a pause, Henry said, "Gene Umbrella, Atari, and Firefly Games have jointly developed a game called "UFO Wars"! The game belongs to the 3D space battle competitive game, players can choose the lineup through the Internet, one faction is the Earth Alliance, the other lineup is the Mars Alliance, and destroying the other planet can be judged as the final victory! The game can be played by up to 100 players at the same time, with a lineup of 50 players each. Now, the 10 staff members around me have put on brainwave helmets at the moment, and the other 90 people, I would like to invite the guests on the scene to come up and experience them! Because there are too many people at the scene, I will not choose one by one. Wait for the lights to shine on you, it means that you are the lucky one tonight, please come up to the stage and sit in our designated seats, and we will give each of you a brainwave helmet!"
As soon as Henry finished speaking, the audience was inexplicably excited, and at this time, 90 pillars of light flashed everywhere until Henry shouted "stop".
"Hahaha, I've been chosen!"
"I've been chosen, too!"
“……”
Many people at the scene couldn't help cheering.
Henry smiled and said, "Tonight's lucky ones, please come on stage!"
In a few moments, all of them rushed to the stage. Each of them had a brainwave helmet on their seat, and the staff began to instruct them on how to use it. After three minutes, everyone had put on their brainwave helmets.
Seeing this, Henry gave the order and started the game!
"Now please pay attention to the LCD screen, the game will start immediately!"
As soon as the words fell, the game of "UFO Wars" began. Flying Saucer Wars is a highly realistic game set in the solar system, with realistic graphics that make you feel like you're really in space. In fact, pilots in the Williams Empire often use this game in their usual training. In the picture, the prototype of the flying saucer piloted by each player is the flying saucer secretly developed by the Williams Empire at this moment, and the flying saucer project has been successfully developed since 2004, which lasted three years! Henry pondered, on April 20 next year, a military parade was held on the occasion of the Williams Empire's National Day, and then, the flying saucer suddenly fell from the sky, scaring everyone to death! Hehe......
Of course, if nothing else, the flying saucer of the Williams Empire will surely catch everyone's attention!
At this moment, the audience burst into laughter. Those who played this game for the first time were not at all accustomed to using brainwave helmets to play, and oolong incidents such as crashing or firing guns to kill teammates were frequent. However, after a few games, everyone quickly became familiar with it, and if you want the saucer to fly, it can fly wherever it wants, and even point where to hit, but the enemy saucer is not a stationary target, the opponent's speed is very fast, if you want to attack it, you must make a prediction, judge its flight position, and then attack!
Woohoo!!
Boom Boom Boom !!
Countless lasers and artillery fire are coming and going in space, so it's not exciting!
"Hehe, look where you're going, launch a laser cannon attack!"
"Lao Tzu Shan!"
"Damn, I've been hit again!"
Many players shouted while playing, what a "hi" word, really made other viewers greedy.
", watching them play, my hands itch. Why is it so bad luck, why didn't you choose me?!! Alas......"
