In fact, just this year's CJ, a domestic online game manufacturer cooperated with NeuroSky to include a mini-game that supports mind control gameplay in the game "Mercenary OL", which is adapted from the popular online novel.

Yang Yue also went to the scene to experience it, but he could only say "Hehe, it's quite novel", and then he didn't feel anything.

The so-called mind control is actually said to be more accurate as the emotion detection gameplay, the special headphones worn on the head read the brainwave signals of the person when the mood changes through the electrodes attached to the forehead, so as to identify different states such as emotional relaxation and emotional concentration, and use it with game control.

"Mercenary" provides a trial of a fishing game, the fish will be hooked when the mood is relaxed, and the hook can be lifted if the mood is focused, but only these two states make the gameplay seem very monotonous. Anyway, it's very monotonous for Yang Yue.

According to online information, Shennian Technology also cooperated with Barbie's mother-in-law Mattel last year to launch an idea control toy called Fan NDFLEX, and it is said to sell well.

The main part of the toy is a small foam ball that can be blown up by a fan, and the player controls the ball to fly high and low through the "track" erected with various parts, and compete for the completion time. Players wear matching headphones, and the built-in brain-computer interface chip collects emotional fluctuation signals and converts them into control of the wind power of the fan.

In essence, this game is no different from the "Mercenary" fishing game that Yang Yue tried to play, after all, it is the same generation of technology from the same company. However, there's a real ball that moves up and down with your "mind" (actually the wind) through a "three-dimensional tunnel" made of geometric blue plastic, and it's easy to overlook its monotonous gameplay and imprecise controls, resulting in a stronger sense of control, at least as it seems. Coupled with the low price of more than 100 US dollars, and the gimmick of the idea toy, it is not difficult to understand that it was sold in large quantities during the Christmas season last year.

However, there may not be many players in "Mercenaries" who are willing to say hundreds of soft girl coins to buy a brainwave headset specially used to play small games and wear it on their heads, and more importantly, national players have been influenced by online game novels for several years, and in everyone's minds, "mind control" should be completely "x free movement", far beyond the keyboard and mouse's "like an arm and finger", naturally it is not to look down on this primitive "mind" control method.

And the Blue Island company has also slowed down the promotion of the idea control gameplay after CJ, although there are still some sporadic news, but basically they are all talking about the car over and over again, and no new products have been revealed, and the same legendary idea controller that players can afford to buy and are willing to buy is also gone, and there is no intention of going on sale at all.

In Yang Yue's opinion, the headbands on the heads of these people in front of them, the only thing that is stronger than the Shennian headphones is that its size is much smaller, and the weight should be a lot lighter, the appearance looks very refreshing, and the appearance is closer to ordinary earhook headphones, but this "headphone" has an additional ring structure that is stuck horizontally on the top of the head, which is why Yang Yue called it a headband instead of a headset at first sight.

He noticed that the five men, two women and seven players in the audience wore slightly different styles of "head rings", with the green and white on the boys' heads and the pink and white on the two girls' heads, which looked more cute and small.

Although he hasn't been here for a while, but the store manager likes to say that the original one, he saw Yang Yue and walked a few steps over to shake Yang Yue's hand, the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Yang Yue reached out and knocked on his forehead, and asked: "This is your 'play games and get gold coins' activity? Why aren't there many people playing?"

The manager of this store is a man with glasses, partial hair, medium height and thinness, his name is Huang Donglin, only two years younger than Yang Yue, and the two of them often chat when they often come here to surf the Internet in the past, and they are very familiar with each other. So when he heard Yang Yue's culture, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the ceiling, and said with a bitter face: "There's no way!

After chatting with him for a while, Yang Yue understood why this ordinary promotion he thought was so deserted, and there were only seven people playing.

Since the Chinese version of "Funny Comic Day and Day" dubbed by cucn201 became popular on the Internet, lines such as "pit dad", "scared to death dad", "give power", "play eggs", "bear children really know how to play" and other lines quickly became Internet buzzwords, and Yang Yue, as a game website reporter, naturally opened his mouth and closed his mouth "I wipe it" and "don't give it hard".

Speaking of which, this "play games and send gold coins" activity is much more than the "play my mahjong Three Kingdoms, send you 20 deductions, brother saved 200 million deductions!" The "gold coins" sent by the event are packed in a special jewelry display cabinet next to it, and the glittering gold coins are piled up to account for most of the cabinet, which looks very tempting and criminal.

The 200 million deduction coin activity in Jiucun requires players to practice the role level, and then apply for deletion to get 20 deduction coins compensation, their original purpose seems to be confident that their game has a localized Three Kingdoms background, and the value of the 19-level character that players have worked hard for two or three days should be more than 20 deductions, and most of the players who are attracted by the event should be reluctant to delete the number of flashers, so that the promised 20 deductions naturally do not have to be paid, and only need to give players a virtual props package that claims to be worth 50 yuan。

As a result, everyone is not interested in this "Three Kingdoms Dungeon", and many players choose to apply for deletion compensation immediately after the character reaches level 19, take the deduction coins and leave, and finally the event ends hastily.

Compared with the deduction coins sent by Jiucun, this time in the space station Internet café to get this "play games and send gold coins, one level of 100 coins" activity, the reward is obviously greater, and it is not a problem to earn 1,000 gold coins a day if you are lucky. The reward paid to players in the event is the physical version of the bee gold coin, although I know that the so-called "gold coin" material printed with the bee logo does not contain gold at all, and it seems that the golden appearance is just a layer of special paint that simulates the color and luster of gold on the outside of the white copper steel jump, but it is not easy to look away when I see the shining gold coins illuminated by spotlights inside the glass case.

Gold has been a symbol of nobility and wealth for thousands of years all over the world, and people all over the world have loved it, whether it is east, west, north or south. Even because gold production cannot keep up with the scale of the economy, gold has been fully launched into circulation, leaving only gold jewelry and industrial gold, but it is still hotly sought after. It seems that the luster of gold makes it easy for people to see the sun, and it seems that there is a natural gene for gold in the human genome, in short, the love for gold will continue to go on for a long time.

It's like among the various electronic products released by bees, the gold-colored style always sells the fastest and the highest sales.

And these bee gold coins are not completely worthless, not to mention their own materials and process processing costs and exquisite appearance, as a souvenir regularly issued by the bee group, each physical version of the bee gold coin comes with a bee gold coin card in the package, scratch off the coating can get an exchange code that can be exchanged for a certain number of bee virtual gold coins, the specific amount depends on the face value of the physical version of the bee gold coin, such as this event with 100 numbers on the front of the hundred gold coins.

Although these "gold coins" were unpacked and packed into a jewelry display case made of thick bulletproof glass, the corresponding gold coin card Internet café was not hacked, Huang Donglin said that if players complete the task requirements, they can get both gold coins and gold coin cards corresponding to the face value, and they can also directly choose to cash out the gold coin card and enjoy the additional benefits of waiving the handling fee.

However, it is not easy to get the gold coins in this cabinet, otherwise there would not be only seven players challenging this event.

Yang Yue asked for a green head ring from Huang Donglin, took it and held it in his hand, he nodded slightly, this thing is well made, gently pressing his hand, it seems that there is goods inside, but at the same time, the weight is well controlled, and it will not be too bulky. The round head ring is very elastic as a whole and can be slightly flattened, and the inner side of the head ring is close to the scalp is a circle of soft rubber material, which is very comfortable to wear on the head, making it easy to ignore its existence.

Yang Yue found an idle computer and turned it on, then lowered his head and stopped in front of the camera for two seconds, and successfully logged in to the system with his face. The space station Internet café client camera has long been upgraded

12 million pixels, and integrated with a complete face recognition function, registered members only need to turn on and then stay in front of the camera for two seconds to log in, and at the same time automatically sign in to obtain various benefits, no need to queue up at the front desk to sign in and activate the membership card.

Under the guidance of Huang Donglin, Yang Yue opened the game called "Super Brain Architect".

Although this game is still a 3D stacking block game, it is very different from the original version that Tang Jiayi played before, not only that there are more levels of matching brainwave headgear and replaced with a more beautiful and lightweight brainwave headband, but the gameplay of the game itself has also undergone huge changes.

Completed the novice teaching level with ease, and the smile on Yang Yue's face quickly solidified after entering the first level. The huge 3D foundation that appeared on his current LCD screen was completely different from the small cabinet that the novice had closed just now, and the area had increased by at least a hundred times. Glancing at the screen of the player next to him, Yang Yue found that the level in front of them was quite similar to his own, that is, the height of the building blocks was much higher than his own, and he nodded secretly in his heart: "This game is really difficult, these people should have just come, after all, they are still playing the first level." ”

In fact, Yang Yue guessed wrong, in fact, the slowest of these seven players has already reached the seventh level, and the fastest has reached the 11th level. When he finishes the first level, he will find that the difficulty of this game is not reflected in the area of the foundation, but in the height. As the height of the building blocks of the player's base is getting higher and higher, the level is automatically upgraded, in fact, it can also be said that there is no level, back and forth on this scene and a gameplay, the variety of building blocks and the refresh speed will not increase with the increase of the level.

Those players who give up not playing are mainly disgusted with the boring game, and it takes nearly an hour to complete a level at the earliest, although the "hourly salary" is not low at ten yuan, but for most ordinary players, they spend money to the Internet café to relax and enjoy, and it is obviously not worth it to play the boring and complicated game for only ten yuan for an hour, not to mention that at least five yuan of Internet fees will be deducted, and the actual "hourly salary" is only less than five yuan, so it is even more worthless.

However, when Yang Yue began to get used to the gameplay, and at the same time wondered what the bee brain computer technology was doing in this game, he suddenly thought of something strange.

This game is indeed as Huang Donglin complained, boring and cumbersome, and very inconsiderate to the player, the tolerance is very low, and you must correct it as soon as you find the wrong block, otherwise the game will end once the second block is put down. And if you want to finish a level in an hour, you need the player to maintain a state of concentration in an hour, but I don't know how to get it, looking at the zigzag graphics spliced into the outline of the building blocks on the screen, he feels as if his brain plug has been pulled out, and he always keeps thinking of something else, these associations are easy to distract, not only the mind wanders for too long so that two blocks in the sky fall, and the game will automatically end.

And just now, when he stood by and watched others play, he didn't have this feeling of having a crazy mind and couldn't stop, he easily thought of the headband he was wearing on his head. Hehe, the headband that brain-computer technology requires players to wear when playing games is by no means as simple as a slightly weird Bluetooth stereo headset, there must be some mystery in it!

Yang Yue was in a state of opening his mind at this time, his mind was very active, and he thought of many things in an instant, but when he turned his attention back to the game, he saw that the second block seemed to fall slowly and quickly, and the game ended quickly, but he suddenly felt a little groggy in his brain.

Depressed to take off the head ring, Yang Yue picked up the Red Bull on the table and pulled the ring and poured it into his stomach, and the sports drink rich in sugar and nutrients entered his stomach, and he felt better.

This can of Red Bull is given away for free by the Internet café, and it is a free can for all players who experience the bee head ring for the first time, and now Yang Yue understands why they are so kind to give away Red Bull, it turns out that playing this game is very brain-burning!

"It's not brain-burning," seeing Yang Yue again, Huang Donglin explained: "The bee headband is actually a brain-computer interface product, but it is not used to achieve mind control, but for mental acceleration." The bee head ring can provide two effects of creativity and attention improvement, this green and pink head ring is a creative model, increase the ability to associate, we call it a brain hole model, after the start of the person is like opening the brain hole, all kinds of ideas are coming out. In addition, there are blue and white concentrations, which increase concentration, and after activation, people will calm down, and distracting thoughts will not be born, just like Buddhist monks. As for the headache you feel uncomfortable after the game, in fact, the headband will automatically turn off after the game, and your brain has not yet adapted to it for a while, just like a person who brakes hard and wants to plant it forward. ”

"Oh, that's not right!" Hearing his explanation, Yang Yue first said that he knew, and then thought of another place: "Such a cumbersome game, shouldn't you use the monk model to increase the player's attention, why use the brain hole model?"

"I don't know, that's how the game system is designed, and you can't start the game while wearing a focus model. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
