Chapter 329: VR Glasses

"Although Wenquxing is cheap, it is a quasi-handheld computer. If you go back in time and go back ten years, those early microcomputers were not even as good as Wenquxing. In terms of the performance of computers in the world today, it is undoubtedly behind most microcomputers. But as an inexpensive portable handheld computer, it's also a low-barrier tool. Lin Qi said, "It also integrates calculators, electronic watches, calendars and other functions. In this way, when a user buys a Wenqu Xing, he not only gets a learning tool, but also saves money on a calculator, an electronic watch and a perpetual calendar. At the same time, we will continue to introduce a wealth of function cards, so that users can learn other knowledge by replacing them with new cards. Not just ordinary rote knowledge, or even ...... It can also do some simple programming, and we have launched some simplified versions of the Pangu C language, which can be compiled on Wenquxing. ”

The more Lin Qi introduced, the more interested the audience became.

Because you can write programs, it should be one of the differences between computers and ordinary electronic devices. The reason why the computer is considered a more advanced production tool is that it can be programmed and customized by itself.

"It also works as an e-book, and you can hold it and read a million-word tome. ”

"There are so many features that I can't describe all here. However, it should be seen as a model for the handheld of the future – one that combines more and more features into one. It has become a very convenient and practical, one machine in hand instead of a bunch of other tools, which greatly reduces the cost of everyone's work and production process, and enhances people's sales ......"

There was a continuous applause in the audience!

Because, after Lin Qi's further introduction, many people found that they far underestimated the market application prospects of portable terminals!

The prototype of the portable handheld computer was probably the electronic calculator that had been invented in 72 years. Later, in the 70s, various handheld computers were used to improve the functions of calculators, such as scientific calculators, which added more complex calculation functions to the technology of ordinary arithmetic calculators. There is also the addition of electronic watches, calendars and even simple programming functions to portable PDAs, of course, because of functional defects, it still does not come in handy, only as an upgraded version of the calculator.

Later, the invention of the handheld game console greatly expanded the functions of the handheld computer. Moreover, because the hardware performance requirements of video games far exceed the traditional computing functions. As a result, the hardware level and software functions of the handheld computer have been greatly improved.

As for the Wenquxing Electronic Dictionary, it is actually on the hardware platform of Palm Entertainment, and some improvements have been made. For example, Palm Entertainment only has a few keys, but Wenquxing has a large number of buttons, so to speak, it can be regarded as a computer with a small keyboard size and simplified hardware performance.

In the 80s, this product was still very creative. At least, a lot of companies with technical capabilities aren't thinking about doing this kind of thing. And people who have considered the education market do not have the technology and imagination to do so.

However, it is very simple for a new start-up electronics company to do this kind of thing, and with some improvements in the technology and production line of Zhangyu, it can make products like Wenquxing.

After the press conference, Wenqu Star quickly became a cheap handheld computer that originated in Asia and even swept the world.

Just at the end of '85, it had sold more than a million copies. In the following years, the annual sales volume even exceeded 10 million.

After the 90s, Wenquxing has not been eliminated, because its hardware has been upgrading. And the number of integrated features is constantly increasing......

……

Wenquxing is just an appetizer for the new venture electronics, and after that, there are still a lot of such gadgets.

Next, the staff put some small cardboard boxes on the stage, and Lin Qi opened a box under the curious eyes of everyone and said: "Our current mature display technology is flat. Whether it is a projection in a movie theater, a CRT TV, an LCD screen or a plasma screen, these screens can only present a flat image to the audience. Even 2.5D and 3D images are not truly stereoscopic. So, we invented this gadget – a virtual reality headset, or VR headset for short!"

The audience present was not calm for a moment, the products displayed before were all in their imagination, but virtual reality and VR, as if they were things in science fiction, were suddenly moved into reality, making everyone feel a little unreal......

But...... This is purely because everyone is bluffed by concepts and nouns, and the technical content of this thing may not be as good as that of Zhangyu and Wenquxing. The principle is broken, and even a cardboard box and two lenses are needed to assemble a thing.

Of course, it also needs an LCD screen as a monitor, a high-definition LCD screen, which may be the most technical thing.

VR headsets are not technically complicated at all, but they use the left and right eyes of the person to see different images, and feed them back into the brain to obtain a three-dimensional feeling.

The real virtual reality technology may not be too mature after more than 40 years.

But just to watch VR movies in left and right formats, with the mass production of high-definition LCD screens, it should be considered a mature technology now.

Lin Qi asked people to make VR glasses, that is, a 6-inch 720P resolution LCD screen is integrated inside, and at the same time, optical lenses made of glass are also used to increase the sense of immersion. Of course, although this VR glasses has an integrated screen, it does not have a player. Therefore, users still need to plug these VR glasses into the HD player or computer, and then put on the headset after the player starts to start.

If you want to experience VR games, I'm sorry you can't do it for the time being, you can only watch some 3D pictures or 3D film and television resources.

Lin Qi didn't expect to take too big a step all of a sudden and enter the era of VR games. Now, the launch of a VR movie watching device is nothing more than a gimmick and a concept.

Through this kind of toy that can bluff Xiaobai, it will attract the attention of the world's technology media.

Gimmicks are more than practical things, for the current new venture electronics, the practical significance is to enhance the influence of the corporate brand, so that more people know about the new venture electronics company.

Just like the later Google company, a big company, to a certain extent, still continues to make things like Google VR or Alpha Dog, these things have limited business prospects in the short term, but they can create an unclear effect to attract more people to pay attention to Google.

To put it simply, even the world's top technology giants are very concerned about the focus of the market's attention. A lot of attention gives it a huge sense of security. The darling of the spotlight is easy to recover from even after some setbacks. But giants who have lost attention, and may have limited failures, can collapse in one fell swoop.
