Chapter 861: Exhibition
As soon as the car stopped, without waiting for the driver to complete the order, Wang Shan grabbed his belongings and pushed the door to get out of the car, and ran away without a trace.
He had long been fed up with this buddy's complaints and complaints, and he just wanted to flash people early to make his ears clean as soon as possible.
The driver does have reason to complain that they have merged "together", but the subsidy received by the driver and passengers is also less. In the past few days, new policies for online car-hailing have been introduced one after another, and the restrictions on household registration, license plates, and displacement have been slashed at critical places, and countless grievances have been accumulated. Wang Shan just asked what do you think of the new deal, and the other party babbled and complained all the way, making him depressed, so he had to run away quickly.
Not long after running out, Wang Shan stopped, slightly straightened his hair to hide the high hairline, and then opened his bag and took out the ticket and camera.
With a camera hanging around his neck, the IT reporter from the island city handed the admission ticket to the mecha guard at the door, and the other party took the trouble to sweep the ticket with the instrument of his right arm, and then swept his whole body from top to bottom, and only then signaled for permission to pass when the green light was lit twice.
"Hey! pretend to be a ghost!" Lao Wang secretly slandered in his heart, the ticket is printed with a bee's exclusive color QR code, and the authenticity can be known with a light scan, the question is when can the QR code scanner scan the face to check the prohibition?
After the end of the National Day holiday, the people of the whole country are still immersed in post-holiday syndrome, but the bees are widely spread hero stickers at this time, and held an artificial intelligence technology concept product exhibition in Yanjing, and also took a rather connotative name: "The next 10 years: AI and you".
Everyone in the company was reluctant to move, and then the invitation and tickets were forced to Lao Wang, and the reason was also very strong: You are in charge of the bee news section!
The exhibition hall is full of pure colors and flood lights, and the staff are dressed in a futuristic way, which is in line with the theme of artificial intelligence in 10 years. What's even more surprising is the unusual way of looking at the exhibition.
The first thing visitors see is an empty hall with a long reception desk inside, and six staff members wearing close-fitting work clothes and translucent glasses sit in the back, skillfully using common languages such as Chinese, English, French, Spanish, Korean, and Japanese to communicate with audiences from all over the world, instructing them to leave their personal information on touch monitors.
The name of the exhibition is "AI and You", and it is clear that the intention is to involve "you", and it is reasonable to ask for information. Because there were a lot of items to fill in, there was a waiting queue in front of the six receptionists, and the people in the back inevitably exchanged words and discussions.
The Chinese dialects were mixed together, and listening to Wang Shan's ears was like entering a hundred bird gardens, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, "Bees are really big!" and then raised his Canon 6D.
Foreigners are not uncommon in the metropolis of Yanjing, but the special advertising actors of the San Diego fertilizer factory and the reporters and editors of overseas media are obviously not the same thing. The former can give money, no matter whether you sell gold or black gold, but the latter needs to be supported by appeal, otherwise people will not come all the way to join in the fun.
It can be seen from the signs on each person's body that well-known media at home and abroad have sent people, and there is even Dr. Mo with an elderly belly.
Born in 1947, Dr. Altmossberg is one of America's most celebrated tech media personalities. He used to be a political and economic reporter for the Wall Street Journal, and in the 90s he switched to the technology column, trying to write technology product reviews from the user's perspective and in the same way as writing movie reviews, and achieved great success. IT bigwigs such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Page, and Mark Zuckerberg have all talked and laughed with him, leaving a lot of classic dialogues, and making him a foreign media person familiar to domestic users.
Wang Shan and his colleagues reprinted each other's evaluation articles a lot, so naturally they would not mistake this white-bearded old man. However, he knew people, but they didn't know him, so he didn't pounce on him like a little star fan and ask for an autograph and group photo. Of course, it may also be that he is afraid that people will ask him for a reprint fee.
"Everyone!" suddenly a shout interrupted Lao Wang's blind thoughts, and also drew the attention of everyone in the hall.
The man was dressed like the receptionist, wearing the same full-length glasses, the same glossy pocketless uniform, and more ornate details that explained his status as a manager. There is also a two-wheeled robot on its side, with two large lamp-tube eyes that remind people of the new-age machine Moe All-E.
"I'm sorry, we made a mistake and delayed everyone's time!" the man said loudly.
At the same time, the robot suddenly looked down at the ground, and the bright red light was emitted from its big eyes, which shone on the ground to form a projection screen, and synchronously displayed the content of the manager's speech. Well, this is a man with his own multi-Chinese translation.
Pointing to the IP address displayed on the ground, the man said, "You can log in to this address, fill in the relevant information, and then you can enter the venue to visit." We apologize for any inconvenience caused, and we will compensate for the inconvenience at a later date. ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly sounded exhaling, and everyone took out their mobile phones and got busy.
Wang Shan logged in to that address, and the first thing that caught his eye was "Welcome to the Mars Immigration Bureau of the Earth Federation!", and the information filling page was topped with the title of "M2026 Mars Immigration Application Form".
Lao Wang smiled slightly, knowing that this was a little joke made by the bees and everyone. Atletico Madrid is not Tesla's Elon Musk, and he is not very interested in Martian immigration, and the so-called "Earth Federation" is actually a fictional future polity, which has been used as a trick in many works under Bee, and this time it has been pulled as a background.
The entire federation is fictional, and this information is certainly not used for realism. If you look closely at the content of the table, you will see that there are many small print markings that "all materials are for demonstration only, if you use fictitious content, please be sure to keep it in mind so as not to affect the presentation effect".
There are a lot of table items, in addition to the common name and age, nationality, native language, family relationship, pet file, as well as detailed to the specific content of hobbies, work overview, the content is very detailed, a lot of things have to be carefully recalled to have an answer, if all of them are made up it will take more time. So when Wang Shan filled out the form half-truthfully, he found that there were already a small number of people missing from the hall, and obviously those were honest people who had something to say.
As for those who made up the whole process, they are now reciting the answers with a hard face. Filling in the submission is not the end, and it has to pass the system spot check.
Comrade Wang filled in countless forms throughout his life, and those fake contents were all used before, so he successfully passed the random inspection of the system and received a plastic box at the reception desk. Inside are full-face glasses like the staff, as well as two smart bracelets and a cute selfie drone, which is different from the products sold by Bee, and looks lighter and smaller.
Wearing glasses, Wang Shan unsurprisingly found that it was an enhanced version of Bee Glasses 3, the virtual image that appeared in the field of vision was clearer and more detailed, the positioning tracking was more accurate, the holographic effect was amazing, and the headphone interface disappeared and seemed to be replaced with bone conduction. In addition to the traditional functions of keeping steps and measuring pulse, blood pressure and body temperature, the bracelet has more barometric pressure detection and motion tracking capabilities, and can be used with glasses and self-timers. The latter is also not simple, in addition to the standard selfie and shooting around, it also adds MR photography/videography and 4K camera functions, which is much more powerful than its predecessors.
As usual, he raised his camera to take pictures and records, and Lao Wang stepped onto a balance bike and entered the exhibition area with a drone adjusted to follow the shooting mode.
Then a smoky and glamorous big sister appeared in front of him and greeted: "I'm Fan Xiaoice, if you have something to say, it's okay to bother me!"
Of course, Wang Shan knew that this was just a virtual image, and he would not be bothered by the tone of the other party's words. What surprised him was the voice of the big sister, which sounded as if there was really such a big living person standing in front of him, and the black technology of the bee in the sound system was undoubtedly revealed. The delicate and vivid image of the other party is even more in line with the preference content in the "immigration table", which is obviously deduced by the system in a short period of time, which is very remarkable.
In his heart, he was silent for two seconds for those colleagues who filled in the strange preferences, and Lao Wang leaned slightly to drive the balance bike around the other party, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, take me to the exhibition now!"
"Hmph!" Fan Xiaoice snorted coldly, glanced at Wang Shan contemptuously, but still took steps forward to lead the way.
The entire exhibition is arranged in the shape of a "Ω", and the exit is also at the end. In the middle of the exhibition area is the balance bike passage, and on both sides are booths where display boards and demonstrations are placed, and visitors can choose the places they are interested in and stop and take a closer look. However, Wang Shan and the others didn't have time to appreciate it carefully, they all took pictures all the way with their cameras in their hands, and only stayed for a while in individual hot booths.
These exhibits are quite diverse, including AI software such as taking pictures, reading pictures, translating, querying, etc., as well as AI robots with different shapes and functions, which can basically be used for interactive trials. The "immigration form" that took a lot of time to fill out before will also come in handy to make the software, robots, and virtual characters more aware of "you".
The refrigerator knows nutrition, understands your tastes and body, the sound is clear, the genre understands your preferences and schedule, the TV knows how to chase stars, understands your emotions and likes and dislikes, and the content they recommend can always meet your tastes and needs. The various mobile phone software displayed on the scene also have their own characteristics, which always seem to make your wishes come true with half the effort, and the virtual characters and robots also have their own personalities and intelligence, not as stupid as before, and look like living creatures.
It's all so beautiful and new that people can't help but immerse themselves in it, until a huge electronic perpetual calendar appears in front of everyone, mercilessly taking everyone back to 2016.
Then, the exclamations and sighs of the people who had just woken up from a dream in a state of panic and annoyance were recorded by the "echo wall" next to them.
It was actually a large touchscreen monitor with a lot of text bubbles in it with modal words like "Oh my God!oh my God!" that could be clicked to play back the original sound. According to the plan, this exhibition is not the only one in today's exhibition, and Bee will hold a tour of 20 major cities around the world later, and more people will leave their thoughts on it, both as a voice message board and as a performance artwork.
The visit was completed, but the people did not disperse, because there was another activity to follow.
Everyone moved to the second floor of the exhibition hall, and Atletico Madrid had prepared a bunch of baked snacks waiting for everyone. Seeing the dense cardboard boxes on the table, someone immediately quipped: "Ma Dong, wouldn't the small gifts I said before be these snacks?"
Atletico shook his head with a smile: "These are just my personal tips for all guests. As for the gift that the bee compensates for everyone, it still needs to be played by everyone to play a small game to finalize. ”
Knock the glasses on your face, "If you win, you can take these glasses for free." If you lose, there will also be a Bee Game Supreme Season Card as a gift, and you can practice when you go back. Those games are in glasses, just say to other people, 'I'm going to play games with you'. ”
Hearing this, Wang Shan turned his head to look at the buddy next to him, and whispered, "I'm going to play a game with you!" Five columns and four rows of 20 game icons immediately appeared in front of him. It's all a small game like throwing darts, playing balloons, blowing paper people, playing marbles, throwing dice, wooden people, etc., the gameplay is simple and has not been played, and the two quickly reached a consensus to start playing balloons.
Seeing this, everyone else also pulled people to start the game, and there were some people who didn't admit defeat, and some people didn't let go when they won, but the original purpose was forgotten.
So when Dr. Mo led a group of experience parties to arrive late, he saw a crowd of demons dancing in the hall, guessing fists, throwing darts, and bragging, and a group of people had a lot of fun.
Seeing the old man coming, Atletico quickly clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to stop, "Everyone, I promised Mr. Mossberg to be interviewed by him after the exhibition, so I have to go first." See you everyone!"
Seeing that he was going to run, everyone naturally didn't do it, and said that it was good here, that there was food and sitting, and what kind of bicycle did they want? Even if they couldn't ask questions, it was good to watch the records on the sidelines!
This was actually discussed a long time ago, and of course Dr. Mo and Atletico Madrid would not refuse, and soon the two of them returned to the rostrum and sat down, surrounded by a crowd of knowledge-seekers with topical recorders in their hands.
"How's it going?, are you still used to this chair?" said the old man, patting the red chair under him.
"Not bad," Atletico said, in a more comfortable position.
Dr. Mo's red chair is well-known in the industry, and the scene of Gates and Jobs sitting on it fighting wits is a classic. This time he also brought two chairs with him, apparently not intending to break his tradition.
After a little greeting, the old man decided to start with today's exhibition, "I have to say that these products you show have a shocking performance. I'm curious, when will these features become a reality?"
