Chapter 1001: The Key to Connecting the Virtual and the Reality
- Power feedback gloves.
Strictly speaking, it's a pair of gloves.
Maybe it's going to look cool, and there's a battery module on the back of your hand that you don't know what to do.
Early in the morning, Ye Qing came to the company, ready to discuss and verify the product of power feedback gloves.
Before the meeting began, Ye Qing first saw the physical product of the power feedback gloves in the office.
The factory provided sports fibers, and the company's product research and development department used these sports fibers to design and manufacture these gloves.
Now Ye Qing took these gloves and looked at Yun Shi who came to deliver the gloves with some confusion.
"Why are the gloves one black and one white?"
"This ...... Maybe it's to distinguish it, right?" Yun Shi couldn't help but grin, it was early summer, even if there was a constant temperature air conditioner in the office, Ye Qing, who was wearing cropped pants and short sleeves, was a bit out of place with a pair of thick gloves.
The key gloves are still two colors, one black and one white make this pair of gloves look trendy, but there are also weird.
Then Yun Shi asked, "Boss, do you feel hot with gloves on?"
"When you say that, it really feels a little breathless. Ye Qing shook his hands, and now the power of the power feedback glove has been turned on. Under the heating of hot neurons, the motor fibers slowly emit a body temperature similar to that of a skin-to-skin relationship.
The bionic electric muscle black technology given by the monster factory is obviously a civilian black technology product.
Naturally, it is impossible for the monster factory to give a civilian product with obvious defects.
Therefore, the temperature released by this pair of gloves is simply a stroke of genius, and it is the most perfect masterpiece in the field of technology and human interaction.
With it, it's like an extra layer of skin, it's very soft, and you can hardly feel the contact of the man-made fabric.
But......
It is not real skin after all, and now Ye Qing feels a little breathless, and there is a slight amount of fine sweat oozing out of his palms.
This flaw needs to be improved.
Ye Qing took this pair of gloves to participate in the product seminar, but as soon as Ye Qing entered the door, several managers and product technicians who participated in the seminar also brought a pair of power feedback gloves. There are not only black and white colors, but both are two colors for a pair of gloves.
The current general manager of the product research and development department is Tao Liang, who is the son of the owner of the Lantuo mobile phone company that was acquired by Behemoth Industries two years ago.
Tao Liang looks like a gentleman, with a technical nerd expression on his face, and his appearance is not good.
But he graduated from Tsinghua University and received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. Looking at the whole company, it is also the top group of diplomas. In the Phantom crystal mobile phone, there are two technical patents from Tao Liang's research and development.
At the beginning of the discussion, before Tao Liang had time to introduce the features of the product he presided over and designed, Ye Qing first raised a question in his heart, asking Tao Liang why he designed the power feedback gloves into two colors?
This gave Ye Qing the feeling that it was like wearing two shoes of different colors to work, which was very weird.
"Boss, we were going to design it in a uniform color. But then, we came up with a different kind of functional play. Tao Liang wears the most eye-catching color of the power feedback gloves on his hands, his left hand is the kendo girl Lifa texture in Sword Art Online, and his right hand is the Iron Man texture in Marvel.
When he was about to introduce the gameplay, Tao Liang was very intoxicated and stroked the Lifa sticker on his left hand, and then took it off.
"Boss, you put on these gloves and give them a try. Tao Liang handed the Lifa texture gloves to Ye Qing, and quickly tapped them on the laptop a few times.
Ye Qing put on his gloves with some disgust.
"So, I'm going to get started. Tao Liang smiled and instructed: "Next, boss, you relax your left hand slightly." ”
Ye Qing snorted.
Then Tao Liang's right hand was gently handed out and shook hands towards the void.
Ye Qing's relaxed left hand, and the next moment there was a feeling of being held. This feeling is quite real, if he closes his eyes, Ye Qing must carefully distinguish for a moment before he can tell that this is actually the power feedback glove is doing tricks.
Realistic body feel temperature, with real skin touch.
Tao Liang actually scratched his index finger in the air.
Ye Qing immediately took off her gloves in disgust, the feeling of being scratched by her fingers in the palm of her hand was a bit disgusting, unless it was replaced by a little beauty like Yun Shi.
Tao Liang scratched his head, "The inside layer of the power feedback glove is pasted with motion capture elements, and when the interactive mode is turned on, we can make the two gloves connect with each other. Holding the right hand, no matter how far apart, with the help of the network, the feeling of grasping the hand is fed back to the left hand. ”
"Boss, don't you think that the two-color design is very suitable for couples, whether it is a long-distance relationship or a local relationship, it is impossible to be together 24 hours a day. ”
"When we are apart, our motivation feedback gloves can help them connect. ”
“……”
"I think this feature is a bit of a pain. ”
Ye Qing put on his white gloves again and raised his eyebrows at the two female colleagues present, "And I don't think that current couples will be so simple and can honestly use gloves to shake hands." ”
"I think something nasty is going to happen. ”
Two female colleagues, one is Yang Baihe and the other is Yun Shi. The former sneered, the latter blushed.
Tao Liang, who designed this glove, showed an otaku smile of "I think so too", and then planned to continue to introduce other functions.
"Don't rush to introduce the advantages first, I'll mention a defect here for you to improve. Ye Qing pointed to the gloves and said, "When I wore it in the office before, I found that it had poor breathability. ”
"The gloves are woven with sports fibers, and the synthetic bio-fiber material in the sports fibers is not breathable. You're weaving it so densely. ”
The design of the power feedback gloves is hasty, and it is difficult to avoid defects in small details.
Tao Liang immediately nodded and said that he had written it down, the air permeability was very good and improved, and the sports fiber weaving structure was changed, and the veneer inside was designed to be hollowed.
"Boss, when you handed over the sports fiber material to our product research and development department three days ago and asked us to design a glove according to its product characteristics, all our employees were almost crazy. ”
"This is simply the most unreasonable plug-in in virtual reality and wearable electronics!"
"The virtual reality project hasn't made much progress yet, so I'll talk about the wearable electronics first. ”
Tao Liang took out a lighter-sized laser projector from his pocket and pointed to the huge dream display on the wall.
The projector boots up, projecting a virtual red keyboard in front of Tao Liang's conference table.
Tao Liang gently knocked down keyboard A.
"Click~" There was a small crisp sound.
This is the sound of an analog keyboard tap emitted by a projector.
It stands to reason that Tao Liang's fingers should have hit the conference table. Because the keyboard doesn't exist, it's just a projection laser. But Tao Liang's fingers were hanging two centimeters from the desktop, as if there was really a keyboard underneath.
This is the role of the Power Feedback Glove, where the motion fibers simulate all the tactile sensations that occur when the hands are placed on the keyboard and when the keyboard is tapped.
These touches, through the hot neurons scattered all over the glove, are perfectly fed back to Tao Liang's hands.
"Boss, you see, in the wearable field, it can not only perfectly solve the trouble of not having a keyboard, but also solve the trouble of not having a mouse. The size of the keyboard is adjustable, the touch is adjustable, whether it is the red and black switches in the mechanical keyboard, or the more advanced capacitors. ”
"With it, users can play games with their mobile phones, which is equivalent to playing with their opponents with a keyboard and mouse at any time. ”
This passage was written by Tao Liang by tapping the virtual keyboard with both hands.
The keyboard projector is dispensable in his eyes, and he doesn't use his eyes to see the keyboard characters at all.
"In addition to simulating a keyboard and mouse, it can also simulate a steering wheel, a firearm, and a gear lever. ”
"As long as the force given by the user's hands does not exceed the power output of the power feedback glove, it can simulate any touch. ”
Ye Qing nodded while pondering.
The power feedback glove is the immature idea that Ye Qing's brain generated after obtaining the bionic motor technology.
The company's next strategic layout is in the field of virtual reality.
Virtual reality.
How to transform the virtual into a reality that users can see and touch is the absolute core of this concept.
The power feedback glove is a virtual "key" that users can touch.
Ye Qing told Tao Liang the product concept, and asked Tao Liang to be responsible for designing the product shape and deeply cultivating in the field of wearable electronics.
Now it seems that Tao Liang's design idea is very correct. With just a few improvements, you can get your product to market.
