Chapter 230: New Hatred and Old Grudge
Because of the publishing cycle, Meng Bin was not able to release the news of Dreamwalker as soon as possible, so that the sensational title of "The World's First Virtual Game Warehouse Debut CJ" was robbed by many online media, but the latest issue of the magazine after CJ still achieved the highest sales in two years because it published a cover feature report on Dreamwalker, and the long-lost request for printing phones also appeared in the editorial department.
Speaking of which, it should also be thanks to the online media editors who were collectively eaten by dogs, and the bee suddenly changed his mind and showed more information about Dream Walker to Meng Bin, so that he had enough dry goods to send to the magazine.
The news of Dreamwalker was reprinted and discussed by various professional and unprofessional online media and netizens, and the concept of "Dreamwalker = Game Warehouse" was hyped, and the bees and their Dreamwalker gained the greatest attention during the entire CJ period. However, the high exposure of the whole people is hotly discussed, which is a good thing and a bad thing for bees, which is in response to the so-called Saiong lost the horse, "Fortune and misfortune lie in wait, and misfortune and fortune rely on".
Not to mention that 230 million netizens across the country know the name of Dreamwalker, at least tens of millions of them have seen the name of Dreamwalker, which is equivalent to instantly making the nameless Dreamwalker a well-known brand across the country.
In terms of disaster, it is also obvious that one is that the Bee Dream Walker suddenly caught fire and was hotly discussed by all parties, stealing the limelight from other large and small exhibitors on CJ, which naturally wanted to create disgust and even jealousy, and the other was that too many exaggerated words and phrases were used in media reports, which also aroused the disgust of many ordinary netizens, which affected the reputation of the bee brand.
Although these words are not said by the bee official or even any bee staff, most of the exaggerated content is added to the micro-innovation when hearsay is reprinted with each other, and it is a bit of a comment on the feelings of the players who use the live trial game, and if there is no festival, they will casually interview the opinions of some players who are not on the scene, and even directly stuff the author's own private goods in the name of the player, but netizens will not care who said this, and completely treat it as if this is the bee itself is bragging about the web article.
It was precisely seeing this situation that the bees planned to dispel the rumors for Dream Walker by disclosing more details, but they didn't want to lose the attention of netizens and the popularity of the topic too hard, after all, the water army can only make trouble if it is mixed with real players. If ordinary players lose interest and stop discussing it, Atletico Madrid's million-dollar army won't make much difference. Therefore, we specially chose the paper media with the slowest transmission speed to disclose the details, and now refute the rumors offline, and at the same time use the water army account online to actively guide the direction of public opinion to the technical imagination and use experience.
The various tofu blocks in the cracks of the newspaper may not be paid attention to because of their inconspicuous appearance, but their existence is the embodiment of the "obligation to inform" in the legal sense. What bees want is to explain the working principle and technical characteristics of Dream Walker through print media and newspapers, but they do not pursue the effect of explanation and the acceptance of the crowd.
It just so happened that Meng Bin was next to him at the time, so this pie that fell from the sky was eaten by him and the magazine behind him. Even if there is no Meng Bin by their side, after Atletico Madrid returns to Ludao, the effect of publishing an article in the local evening newspaper is the same.
After all, to put it bluntly, bees do not lie and deceive, Dreamwalker is indeed the world's first set of practical virtual reality equipment, although it is still very primitive, but its historical significance and economic value can not be erased, Bee Group has applied for a large number of domestic and international technology patents for Dreamwalker, if this piece of industry develops in the future, bees can live by eating patent royalties.
In Meng Bin's feature report, he used a lot of pictures and data provided by bees to explain how Dreamwalker works and what it can achieve. Even the brainwave access mode was pulled out by him and slipped away, indicating that the bee had actually mastered the brainwave access technology, and he had tried it himself, but the effect could only be hehe.
With the current technical means, it can only be achieved to identify the user's strong emotions through the brain electrodes close to the scalp, so it is very inconvenient to need the electrodes to be attached to the head, but the recognition effect is not good. Not to mention that it is not as good as the brainwave access technology in online game novels, it is even far from being as responsive and precise as the controller, professional game keyboard and mouse, and these devices. Therefore, this kind of technology basically has no practical significance at present, and only shows off its skills and the role of preempting patents, which also forms a huge role.
In fact, there is basically no new technology used in the virtual reality equipment of Dreamwalker, most of which are ready-made technologies, but after adding some creativity and doing some optimization, the effect that bursts out is that one plus one is greater than two.
Like the blindfold of Dreamwalker, its display module is actually a TFT LCD screen with a resolution of 1024x640, but the size is more than half of the size of a ten-inch netbook with the same resolution. The result of the doubling of the number of pixels per inch is that this screen is quite expensive, accounting for half of the cost of Dreamwalker's hardware, and the reason why Dreamwalker has to delay its release this year is partly because it is waiting for the production of this LCD screen to increase and the price to decrease.
In order to get the best field of view filling, the driver software will compress and distort the edges of the picture, so that the image seen by each eye is similar to the distorted edge of a fisheye lens.
For example, if the original pattern is an "O" character that fills the screen, it will be sent to the headset as an image like "00". After the "00" image is presented on the monitor, the eyepiece in front of the two eyes will enlarge and distort the image into an image of two O characters such as "OO", and finally the human brain will synthesize an "O" image seen by the left and right eyes, and the final user will see a huge "O" character that "fills the world".
The advantage of using a convex lens eyepiece is that the screen is magnified twice, and the picture seen in the user's eyes is larger than the screen, which can fill the field of view well, just like the real world image is also full of field of view, and it can also minimize the loss of image details, and the resolution of the picture presented in the user's eyes is still 1024x640, which is even better than directly watching a computer monitor with the same resolution.
This is because Atletico Madrid has specially developed the left and right eye parallax display technology with its own research object, and specially designed a picture decomposition algorithm for the human visual synthesis mechanism, so that the driver software can decompose the original picture into two pictures that look similar but are not the same in detail on the left and right. The two images seem to be perfectly symmetrical, but in fact each pixel is not symmetrical, and the final picture can only be synthesized in the brain after the left and right eyes see the left and right images at the same time.
The advantage of using jet lag display technology is that although the display is flat, because there is a slight difference between the two eyes, the visual effect produced by brain synthesis will be 3D stereoscopic and more natural and comfortable.
In a sense, this kind of display technology can be regarded as using the brain as a display, and only Atletico Madrid, a special human with an operating system, can design such a special picture decomposition algorithm by analyzing the signal synthesis mechanism of the human visual system. For researchers other than him, the brain, eyeball, and optic nerve are not much different from black boxes, and although anatomy can find every optic nerve, it does not help visual processing researchers to develop a new generation of jet lag display technology, and they can only collect second-hand data slowly and inefficiently by observing volunteers, which greatly increases the cost of research and development.
This is also the reason why Atletico Madrid wants to set up a separate company in the future, put all the technologies developed independently in the company, and then license them to the bee company. Saving R&D expenses in Jiajing company is to save money for yourself, and putting it in bees has become a way to help others save money, although we are partners with a good relationship, "normal" R&D expenditure is still enough.
Even so, after the establishment of the Bee Group, the new directors only asked Jiajing to extend the technical licensing period and increase the amount of liquidated damages, but no one criticized the problem of Atletico Madrid digging the company's corner, after all, even if Jiajing Company collects licensing fees according to market conditions, it is also charged according to the lowest market, which is far more convenient and cost-effective than organizing their own R&D team to develop by themselves.
However, this display method with a certain "brain supplement" technology is not flawless、No shortcomings,The most obvious disadvantage is that after the screen picture is magnified by the convex lens in front of the eye,Each pixel particle will look correspondingly larger,It will make the display screen show obvious graininess,Just like watching a TV screen or computer screen at close range, you can clearly see each pixel on the display,And this may be the culprit of the failure of many head-mounted displays before。
Japan's Sony Corporation, a giant in the field of consumer electronics, once launched a sound-visual glasses called glasstron eight years ago, which has a resolution of 800x225 7-inch LCD screen and stereo headphones, except for the lack of motion sensing modules and eyepieces and special driver software, compared with today's dreamwalker blindfolds, it is basically the same thing, and the technical content is similar.
But it's this small basic gap that makes the experience of these two products very different.
At that time, Glasstron, which sold for more than 100,000 yen (equivalent to tens of thousands of soft girl coins), played the slogan "Audiovisual enjoyment during travel", and its intention was to provide users with "close"1. The audio-visual enjoyment of the 52-inch large-screen TV set 8 meters away can be connected to the video playback device through the TV A/V cable to act as a TV set worn on the head. Because of the bulky size of VCD and DVD, the portability of this kind of glasses is not obvious, and the high price is easily defeated by various DVD writers and even PMP portable media players, which has become another failed high-tech product of the technology giant Sony.
However, the positioning of the Dream Walker's blindfold is the key and window that allows users to truly immerse themselves in the virtual world, and the display quality is not the first, but the "sense of immersion" and "sense of substitution" are the first. With the help of motion sensors and the ability to receive action signals and feed them back to the client, the world becomes more vivid and vivid, and the user can easily become immersed in it, so that they subconsciously ignore the obvious graininess on the screen. Just as when people look out of a window, it's easy to ignore the stains on the window glass, the railings outside the window, and the curtains if they are drawn to the scenery outside the window.
Atletico Madrid calls it the "screen window effect", which vividly describes this visual habit of human beings.
That's why Atletico must emphasize the priority of the trial experience, just looking at the screenshots and the display specifications, the Dream Walker blindfold is not outstanding, and then think of its huge size and weight that covers most of the face, which may discourage potential buyers. But if you try it before you buy it, you don't have this problem.
Dreamwalker took two years to officially come out, and in the past two years, it is not only the price reduction of high-resolution LCD screens, but also a more important reason is that Atletico Madrid is waiting for the maturity of the bee game, and now the bee wisdom center that has become quite large can provide players with a large number of 3D games and 3D virtual tour software that support Dreamwalker.
After all, Dreamwalker is only the key to immerse yourself in the virtual world, and if the virtual world itself does not support Dreamwalker, the user still can't immerse himself.
Although the Dreamwalker Suit is still in beta, the Bee Wisdom Center has upgraded its version after the official release of CJ on the first day, and dozens of games have been added with a "∞" symbol to represent their support for Dreamwalker. The "∞" symbol represents infinity in mathematics, so it is often extended to infinity, and it is used as a representative symbol of the dreamwalker, which means that the dreamwalker can bring infinite possibilities, and at the same time, this character is also very similar to the glasses with two frames, which can barely be regarded as both physical and spiritual.
These games with the "∞" logo and support for Dreamwalker were all developed by Bee, or modified and released by Bee as an agent. Dreamwalker is naturally supported by the stand-alone and online games of Bee's flagship game "Daming", and the scenes used to try it out during CJ are several specially designed stand-alone dungeon maps, while the 3D remastered versions of the classic stand-alone games of other bee agents also support Dreamwalker, which initially provides a considerable number of available games.
After the relevant magazine went on sale, there were significantly fewer voices of malicious praise and malicious belittlement of Dreamwalker, and Atletico Madrid had time to analyze who was hacking him.
He found that among the online media that deliberately sang the opposite, especially the self-proclaimed "world's largest portal", Souki Portal, had the most positive opposition voices. For this result, Atletico can understand what is going on with a little thought.
Speaking of which, Souki Company should be the biggest sufferer of Bee Group and Bee Technology in the past, and even before the establishment of Bee Technology, they had their first confrontation with Atletico Madrid.
At that time, the search engine department of Soraci recruited a newcomer, and put forward the idea of using search engine technology to make a new generation of intelligent input method, but when the search fox input method was about to come out, the function was more powerful than them, and it took up less resources and ran more stably The bee input method was born. The bee input method itself is Atletico Madrid with the help of e7U using machine code writing,The amount of code is smaller and the execution efficiency is higher,It has been applied to some of the reserved resources that Microsoft left to its own Microsoft Pinyin,Compared with the search input method that can only use the Windows general IME input method editor interface,The gap is naturally not huge,It's a gap。
After seeing the huge gap between the two software, the young Souki development team at that time almost collapsed in self-confidence, and even had the intention of giving up on releasing and disbanding the project. Later, although it stumbled out under the care and support of the head office, it could only barely follow the bee input method to eat ashes. In order to follow the new features released by the bee input method,Soraci has invested a huge amount of human and financial costs,But Souki input method has never seen the hope of counterattacking beyond the bee,Even the bee's voice input and intelligent prediction technology they have not been able to achieve a good "reference" copy.
Simple interchangeable skins, subdivided thesaurus, emojis, anti-harmony automatic coding, Martian dialect translation These functional difficulties only lie in coming up with ideas, experienced program apes are easy to write the complete code after understanding the creative analysis of the flowchart, but such as involving artificial intelligence, fuzzy computing voice input and intelligent prediction are not something that Souki company's technicians can understand and implement.
Once they tried to cooperate with a number of university research teams to launch the corresponding function,But there is a bee input method in front of the jade,The experience version of their implementation of the new function was sprayed by the user,And made a part of the search raccoon input method users know that the "sealed" input method (the word bee was blocked by the search fox forum) is better to use,Instead"defected" and fled to the bee camp,In the end, I had to take out the experience version in a hurry,The cooperation is over。
If it is the same free software,On the surface, the competition and grievances between the search raccoon input method and the bee input method are losing money,Just to compete for the number of users and influence does not involve monetary interests,Or there is no obvious monetary interest,Then the grudge between the fox and the bee in the SP SMS and online game business is even greater,After all, taking people's money is like killing parents。
After the bursting of the Internet bubble in the United States in 2000, the reason why the three major portals of Souki Slag Lang and Wangzhu were able to survive well when venture capital retreated and had no money to burn was that they successively discovered the two major money-absorbing weapons of mobile phone SP business and online game business, which achieved a turnaround and development of profits. Of course, the scum is more unlucky, the online game business has not been developing well, first of all, the game selected by the self-agent operation is not very popular, and the cooperation with Korean companies, the establishment of a joint venture company Legu agent operation of the popular game Paradise is on fire, but because of the high hardware configuration requirements and the congenital defect that Korean games are not resistant to plug-ins, in the end they did not make much money, and finally had to give up the online game business.
Speaking of Korean online games, the reason why Korean online games are not resistant to cheating is because South Korea has the strictest anti-cheating laws, and it is illegal to store but not use cheating software, but there is no exemption clause of "reasonable use for research purposes", so Korean online game developers dare to boldly put the key operations of the game on the client to execute. Although this will bring the disadvantage that the data is easy to be tampered with, it can make full use of the player's hardware equipment and greatly improve the game picture effect, which is the most fundamental reason why Korean games are better than domestic games.
Although the income composition of Souki Company today, the income of online advertising and online games has exceeded the mobile phone SP business, but after all, it is the old business that was known as "mobile phone SP saved the Internet", whether it is out of feelings or actual benefits, it is still unable to give up for the time being. However, the promotion slogan of Bee OS is "Solve the SP problem, brush Bee OS", Bee OS became popular by helping users clean up the trap of copycat machine deductions, but it also made SP further stigmatized, and therefore offended several major SP websites, including the search for fox portals.
Of course, the mobile phone SP business is still a small amount of money, if the bee finds more Souki to buy advertising, there is no opportunity for the two sides to ease the relationship, but the bee prefers to promote the bee software through various user word-of-mouth marketing, and then use the software pop-up window to promote themselves.
The reason why the fox will suddenly be difficult this time,A very important reason is the appearance of the dream walker,It will greatly enhance the attractiveness of "Daming OL",This is obviously not a good news for Tianlong Babu, which is competing for the throne of the first martial arts online game,Originally, the picture is poor and the same service is less expensive and it has been criticized very much,When people enter the era of virtual somatosensory,It's not an opponent.,Sou Lion naturally has to fight hard.。 For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
