TED。

Big star science Internet celebrity, a young associate professor at Columbia University, Lord Ju Chen, kindness debuted, and the audience cheered, most of them are science lovers, and even geeks who like mathematics and physics, looking forward to the big science Internet celebrity once again bringing them the great laws of interpreting the universe.

So, although none of them understood Mr. Books is the title of the speech, and they are all enthusiastic.

Zhong Gui was also offstage, and he was also a little confused, because he had always only known AR, not MR, and saw this mixed reality book platform that he didn't think of last time.

Ordinary speakers are smiling, but once Juchen speaks, he will enter a cold state, and when he gets used to it, everyone sees a sage who is not smiling.

Opening: "In China, there is a very popular app, called 'Get', which I often use, it is a knowledge platform, which is characterized by simplifying a large number of books, and then showing them in the form of audio, giving some people who don't like to read books directly the opportunity to get a glimpse of the ocean of knowledge." This app is great.

In fact, many people may be like me, listening to the app not to learn, but to be inspired. Learning and being inspired is a big difference between the two. Studying is very hard, reading books is very hard, especially the so-called kind with a large knowledge content.

But when we become adults, do we really need to keep learning? Especially when we think that we have established a perfect world view, we may no longer need to study hard, and we might as well play more games and watch TV dramas when we have that spare time.

So, for most people, unless it's their own work that has to be studied, reading a book may become a kind of entertainment, for me, reading a book is a way to get inspired, even if it is an unreliable book, if it has a unique perspective, it is also very interesting and worth a glimpse.

Future. What is the future? We've all thought about it, even if you don't think about it, you've guessed it in your subconscious. For me, the future is not faster, bigger and more beautiful, for example, you can drive the car of your dreams, live in the villa of your dreams, and be with the lover of your dreams.

The dream future can be as simple as just putting on a pair of glasses, and it's an arbitrary door that will take you into a whole new world. This is the future for most of us, a more realistic, better and more possible future than consumerism.

In order to make our future come faster, our team, a team called Mixed Reality Books, is Mr. Mixed Reality Books. Books, which is developing a very interesting MR device through which you can turn a wordless book into any book, we have created a video of the effect for everyone to experience. ”

An augmented reality trailer like Hololens appeared on a huge screen, a blank book, and nothing on it, but once the model put on that lightweight glasses (a 3D printed fake thing), the world was very different.

The scene is a book bar, which is very funny and full of blank books, when all the pages and spine of these books are printed with a special QR code, which is customized by Juchen consulting experts in related fields, ultra-fast QR code, reducing the amount of information that can be carried, but can be recognized by the camera quickly, relying on these special QR codes, MR glasses can obtain three-dimensional data beyond the speed perceived by the human eye, and then produce real words, so that the wordless book becomes a word.

Because of this special design, and the fact that people are mostly static when reading books, they can get less visual latency than Hololens, and the experience is better.

I didn't expect Juchen to release this kind of gadget, although everyone didn't know what the use of this egg was, but they still applauded enthusiastically, it seemed that in the eyes of science lovers, everything the professor did could be worshipped.

Viewers noticed that a large number of books on display were non-fiction and related to knowledge, and as soon as you picked up a work you liked, personalized data kicked in, and when you "refreshed" the shelves, a lot of the titles became relevant recommendations.

This turns into a particularly interesting book.

The desk in the book bar can accommodate four readers, and can calmly place several books, as well as a laptop, and there is space for coffee cups, and there are "heavenly books" on the desk, according to the books you are currently reading, randomly generated related books, this detail is noticed, and it feels particularly shocking, real futuristic.

Zhong Gui was also taken aback at this time, as soon as this video was played, even he felt that this wonderful MR equipment had a special charm, as if he had not imagined it before.

The speech continued: "Do we really need to read? Not necessarily. When reading becomes a form of entertainment, a pastime, we need a small talk, we need a cup of coffee, probably from El Salvador, a region you've never drunk before. Unexpected encounters and appropriate distractions are the spices of our ordinary lives. Traditional book bars don't have enough books, not with us, and you can even find a whole bunch of books on topology, nuclear physics, or blockchain technology.

Our sci-fi predecessors may have dreamed decades ago that technology could create a virtual world, but this is a slow process, and in this process, books are the form in between, especially our futuristic MR books, and we sincerely invite the Magi of the Eight Directions to join our project team on the programming crowdsourcing platform to complete this step-by-step technological milestone.

The following is the time to ask questions, or the old rules, please scan the QR code to the message platform, and I will pick a good question to answer. Thank you!"

Question 1: What is the difference between this and a café that offers iPads?

Answer: "Thank you for the compliment, you mean we created the iPad?MRB can be taken home and you can build your own bookshelf, not just for book bars and cafes." ”

Question 2: This seems to be a subset of Hololens or MagicLeap's MR devices, right?

Answer: "At the moment, it seems that Hololens is not going to be a mass consumer product because of its high price, and our price will make most people feel that they can try it." Also, the Kindle seems to be a subset of tablets, but the Kindle has gone its own way and has a legion of fans. ”

Question 3: I'm afraid that after the novelty has passed, the MRB will be hidden because it doesn't provide more things.

Answer: "This is a completely new thing, the book is just the beginning, you can guess the beginning, but you can't guess the ending, I can't guess it, its development will be beyond your imagination, think boldly." ”

For example, V2 will support color, V3 will support video and sound, and V4 will support games. This is like the history of the development of LCD panels, the first to play were the Americans, they directly aimed at the TV market, but it was too difficult at the time, so it failed, and Japanese manufacturers picked up this technology, manufacturing small, rough panels, used in small devices such as mobile phones, making money, and then having money to invest in the research and development of larger panels, so that Japanese panels once almost monopolized this industry.

Juchen's beautiful vision is based on this plan, Google's glasses are rarely reported, and Hololens is so expensive that almost no consumers come to play, which is very similar to the development of LCD panels back then.

At that time, Juchen hesitated, but after hesitating, he still disclosed the plan on his social network account, so that the developer engineers who came to take refuge had confidence in it, otherwise they would not be able to recruit outstanding talents.

There are two major software centers in the United States, one is Silicon Valley and the other is Seattle, and in his personal preference, Juchen chose Seattle as the American R&D center, and the Chinese R&D center is the Cotton Tree City that he is most familiar with.

In order to save costs, instead of renting office buildings in the city center, he found MADI, an Italian semi-permanent construction company, to purchase their wooden houses and build spacious and beautiful offices in the suburbs. Xu Tuzhi, the office in Seattle, and the office building in Cotton Tree City are located directly in the factory area of a cigarette factory that does not cost money.

MADI's wooden house design looks particularly low, and then there are two huge formwork composed of a sloping roof, it may be that the slope looks too big, so it seems that the wall is short, in fact, the space is still okay, each wooden house is two floors, the stairs between the floors are exquisitely designed, it is comfortable to look at, and the Italian design is really different.

With the help of a crane, an office with a usable area of 84 square meters can be built in 24 hours, comfortably accommodating 28 employees.

If you rent an office building in the city center, it will cost at least 50 square meters a month, that is, 4,200 yuan, 50,000 yuan a year, and the wholesale price of this semi-permanent building is 150,000 yuan, and the money for renting an office building will be earned back in three years.

According to the solidity of this building, even the earthquake resistance performance is okay, and it should be no problem for 30 years. I have rented an office building for 30 years, and the cost will be sea.
