The company's big boss stands on the platform as the keynote speaker of the press conference and promotes his own products, which is now becoming more and more popular. After all, it is not easy to imitate Apple's popular mobile phones that have produced tens of millions of sales, but it is easy to copy a similar press conference, which is nothing more than a large venue, carriage and horse fees, and gorgeous PPT, which is easy for any company with a little money to do this.

For this increasingly popular press conference culture, whether it is a single gang like Meng Bin or a regular media reporter, it is a good thing, after all, there is travel reimbursement for this trip, as well as various souvenirs and small gifts, and there will be various indicators to break through the sky after going back. As for the PPT said that in addition to the price of things can be realized? Mr. reporter is very busy, so I don't have time to care about these small things, the product is finally listed, the price is also the price promised at the press conference, you should be content, you must know that "you get what you pay for" is a universal truth, since you spend less money, you must have the consciousness of bearing all kinds of defects, isn't it?

But soon he didn't have time to think about it, and Atletico on stage had already started his speech.

Although the four products released together this time are all from brain-computer technology companies, and Atletico Madrid is also wearing the cultural shirt of Bee Brain-Computer Technology, it gives Meng Bin the feeling that today's protagonist is the bee mobile phone that did not appear. On the projection screen behind Atletico Madrid, almost half of the screen will have the figure of the bee phone, more than any of the four products.

The simple reason for this is that these four wearables don't really work on their own, they all need to be connected to a phone or other smart device to be fully functional.

After a brief greeting just now, Atletico first briefly introduced the names and functions of several products on his body, which are: head-mounted augmented reality display bee glasses, smart Bluetooth headset, smart message assistant bee bracelet, and smart health assistant bee ankle ring.

The bee glasses are somewhat similar to the external cameras that were used as secret visit artifacts and candid artifacts by reporters and street photographers from all walks of life. This kind of camera worn on the head can only choose a fixed focus micro lens because of the pursuit of concealment, pixels and depth of field are extremely limited, and a large number of copycat accessories that suddenly appeared on the market can not be made up for by the lack of hardware and software of the bee company, and the photo effect is very unsatisfactory, resulting in this trend going down quickly, but the official optional accessories of the bee mobile phone have always had the option of glasses camera.

Compared to the previous glasses camera, the most striking thing on the new bee glasses is the extra transparent prism on the front of the right eye. As for the camera, Meng Bin looked for a long time before he saw that there was a small circular black dot on the left and right temples, the left side was a small black hole, which was a laser ranging module and a microphone, and the one on the right could see the reflection of the glass lens if he looked closely, and inside was a miniature camera.

However, seeing that the screen shows that the bee glasses are equipped with a 2 million pixel zoom camera, Meng Bin can't help but shake his head a little, although the 200 pixels are very close to the 1920x1080 FHD full HD resolution, but in fact, for domestic cameras, because of the abuse of "interpolation amplification" technology, the nominal 1.3 million, 2 million or even 5 million pixel indicators The actual photo effect looks the same, full of blur and mosaic, which is completely incomparable with professional digital cameras.

Just when Meng Bin and many reporters who knew about "interpolation amplification and pixel indicator water injection" secretly shook their heads, they only heard Atletico Ma on the stage waving his hand and making a gesture, and the bee glasses camera on the screen behind him was magnified, and there was a structural separation animation, and the multi-layer lens, CCD sensor and DSP digital signal processor were "pulled down" from the camera layer by layer and displayed in front of everyone. Meng Bin noticed that there seemed to be something on the edges of the lenses in the middle that didn't look like a fixture.

"Our bee glasses and the next generation of bee mobile phones, tablets, PC cameras on the camera products, will be unified with our independent research and development of the 'Bee Smart Eye' platform, although the lens glass and CCD sensor are still imported, but the lens motion components, DSP chips and corresponding algorithms are our original, and applied for international patents," Atletico stretched out two fingers:" 2 million pixels is just the physical resolution of CCD, in fact, under the optimization of the algorithm, we are fully confident that the 5 million pixels of foreign counterparts, of course, if it is a domestic interpolation amplification camera, we also dare to fight with tens of millions of pixels!"

The image on the screen changes again, and the camera parts that have just been stripped out are reassembled outside the frame of the glasses to become a camera without a case. And Meng Bin noticed that the middle lenses were constantly moving, but it was not the forward and backward movement of the general optical zoom lens along the optical axis, but the movement left and right. Before Meng Bin could figure out why, a simulated optical path diagram appeared on the screen, and he saw that with the small movement of these lenses, the images of the scenery projected on the CCD were also changing, and finally these images were synthesized into a large picture of 5 million pixels.

Although the specific principle has not been figured out, but the big 5 million number, and just created a local image and then gathered together into the DSP picture is so intuitive, the audience quickly understood Atletico Madrid's so-called "5 million pixels of self-confidence and foreign counterparts" The confidence lies, after all, compared with interpolation amplification, this method of simulating the principle of human eye vision to take pictures many times and then stitch together to get a large picture can get more effective pixels, which is naturally the real 5 million pixels of other people's homes.

Of course, those who figured this out quickly understood the weakness of this method, which is absolutely blind when shooting high-definition video and grasping high-speed objects, just like the same problem with the human eye. And the cost of this micro motor to drive the lens is also a problem, for most manufacturers, instead of using such technology, it is better to directly use a larger imaging unit to provide greater resolution, that is, the special shape of bee glasses greatly limits the size of the imaging module, forcing bees to do a dojo in a snail shell, and the whole complex camera structure is created.

Atletico Madrid on the stage did not shy away from this shortcoming, and said bluntly: "Of course, although they are all bee smart eye platforms, in different hardware products, limited to cost, volume and use design, their respective advantages, expertise and disadvantages are also different. The camera on the bee glasses is used to shoot the face of the person opposite you and the barcode and two-dimensional code of the goods in your hand, and it is better at capturing static images at medium and short distances. ”

Reaching out and tapping on the transparent prism in front of his right eye, Atletico said: "This is a miniature projector, which can reflect the video screen into the retina through the prism, so that we don't have to look down at the phone, we can recognize the name of the stranger opposite, know the approximate calorie of the biscuit in our hand, and recognize the road, of course, we need to realize these functions need to start the corresponding applications such as face blind savior, weight loss assistant and road idiot savior." There's a media experience session where you can try out these amazing features for yourself. ”

Atletico Madrid did not disclose the specific price and launch date of Bee Glasses, it seems that it is only released today, and it is still some distance from the official launch.

Unlike the bee glasses that seem to be cool and sci-fi, there are not many functional highlights of the bee Bluetooth headset, only two: one is to use the Bluetooth chip independently developed by the bee to greatly reduce the power consumption and improve the bandwidth to support better sound quality, and the other is to support many-to-one mode, that is, a pair of headphones can bind multiple devices at the same time, and accept the sound signals transmitted by them at the same time, and the user can choose to play these sounds at the same time or switch them into different channels.

"That way, you'll never miss a call again when you're watching the game secretly at home......," Atletico ended with a pun on the bee's headphones.

The bee bracelet and the ankle ring are not only similar in appearance, but the functional structure is also very similar, but the bracelet has an additional curved OLED screen, which looks somewhat similar to the MP3 player of the year, while the ankle ring has no screen, and because there is no aesthetic demand, it can be made wider and thicker.

"The bracelet is an important supplement to the mobile phone, it has a built-in efficient action recognition module, which can recognize your arm movements, you can customize different hand movements to let it automatically display time, chat information, weather, place names and other information, of course, if you think it's too troublesome to remember a bunch of gestures, you can also ask them directly, glasses and bracelets have microphones on them, support voice recognition and intelligent voice assistant," the right index finger tapped the frame in front of the right eye, Atletico said:" There are microphones and laser ranging modules, the microphone can be used as a hands-free microphone to help you make calls or voice control other bee devices, and the laser ranging module is only less than 50 meters due to power reasons, but it can help you better calculate the distance you walk and the calories you burn. ”

"As for the foot ring, it is not just a more accurate pedometer, it can also help you record body temperature, blood pressure, heartbeat, and because the body size is wider to accommodate a larger capacity battery, the leg life of the foot ring is up to half a month, you can always wear it to record the body physiological data within two weeks, and hand it over to the doctor or our health management app to help you better maintain and use your body. ”

Atletico Madrid on the stage was still talking about the sleep management, dressing tips, menstrual period management, heart management and other functions of the bee bracelet/ankle ring, but Meng Bin's thinking had turned in another direction. He discovered another hidden protagonist of today's press conference!

The first hidden protagonist is the bee phone, these products are limited in size and function, and they cannot operate completely independently, and many functions need to be coordinated with each other to achieve. For example, the ankle ring does not have a display, and the recorded data needs to be sent to the mobile phone, tablet, bracelet and glasses through Bluetooth, and even the microcomputer can be displayed, and although the bracelet also has the function of recording body temperature, blood pressure, heartbeat and cadence, but turning on these chips will lead to increased power consumption and reduced battery life to only two days, for which bees have even prepared a simplified bracelet product with only an action sensor and OLED screen and Bluetooth, only the "hand display" function.

The display can also be through bracelets and glasses, but data processing and calculation can only rely on bee mobile phones and microcomputers, and cannot be solved by wearing a four-piece suit, so bee mobile phones are well-deserved hidden protagonists.

The second hidden protagonist is the "self-developed chip", although it does not appear frequently on PPT like the former, but the "original, self-developed chip" has been spit out from Atletico Madrid's mouth many times, and the chip that can be repeatedly mentioned by him should have a lot of highlights. The reason why the Apple iPhone4 on sale this year can still sell well after the antenna door that appears "You are calling in the wrong posture",iOS、AppStore that has been operating for many years is on the one hand、The front and back double glass is smooth and high-value on the one hand,The dual-core A4 chip printed with the Apple logo also makes a lot of contributions。 However, it is a pity that today is a special press conference for Bee wearable devices, and Atletico Madrid did not mention whether to apply self-developed chips on Bee mobile phones and tablets. And even if it is self-developed, Loongson is self-developed and selected to design from scratch using the fan PS architecture, and the design of a mobile phone chip by "assembling" other functional modules of the code is also self-developed, and the deep modification of the ARM architecture like the Apple Hummingbird team is also self-developed, but it is not clear what kind of bee is.

The only thing that is certain is that these chips independently developed by bees must be very power-efficient, after all, they are all used in micro devices with batteries of only a few hundred or even tens of milliamperes, and if they do not save power, they will be completely useless. In this way, the bee is most likely to use the arm authorized kernel to change it itself, but I don't know if it is a minor change or a major change.

I have been thinking about this problem in my heart, and Meng Bin was uneasy in the media experience link in the future, so he simply tried the various functions of several products, and he didn't even bother to take them off and put them back, so he went directly to the interview area wearing them.

These products that provide trial bees will not take back, but give them to everyone to "do long-term testing", which is actually a routine of giving gifts to earn favor and ask for good words. For Meng Bin, who rarely receives the benefits of testing products from manufacturers after leaving the magazine, he is still quite happy to get these gifts, but thinking about the bees' self-developed chips, he has no time to waste time on them, after all, when he goes back, he has time to test them slowly.
