Chapter 539: The Door and the Key

Jiang Chen's words immediately brought the off-topic press conference back to the point, and at the same time gave the phantom helmet a forced advertisement without a trace.

The media in the audience was once again shocked.

Attend a real-life press conference with a virtual reality headset?

A word popped out of Danny's head.

AR?

AR is an abbreviation for augmented reality, a technology that uses virtual objects to "enhance display" of real scenes. Compared with virtual reality (VR), it has the advantages of strong realism and less modeling workload. Representative products include Microsoft's HoloLens, which can turn your dining table into a gaming table and a TV screen with glasses.

However, for people in social situations, the disadvantages of AR technology are also obvious. For example, what do your roommates think when you're wearing AR glasses and waving your arms to do weird things in the air?

No matter how you think about it, this embarrassment must be committed again.

This is also one of the difficulties in the development of AR application technology today, that is, only people wearing "glasses" can see the virtual objects that are "enhanced". But now the Future People Science and Technology Institute has perfectly achieved the integration of virtual and reality through the medium of holographic projection, which is why the reporters present were surprised.

"Phantom Helmet. Jiang Chen stretched out one hand, faced the silent reporters, and said with a smile, "The key to the virtual world." ”

The particles of light converged into lines, just above his palm. It is woven like a shuttle into a helmet full of realism. The helmet hovered in the palm of his hand, slowly turning under the gaze of all the reporters in the audience.

"I'm sure everyone here already knows the performance of our helmet. I won't go into the details here. Here I will cite only two numbers, 1.44 million and 0. ”

When Jiang Chen mentioned the figure of 1.44 million, many media had already reacted. This figure is the total number of helmets invested by Futureman Technology in the world when carrying out virtual reality experience activities.

But what is 0?

At this moment, all reporters had such questions, and Jiang Chen, who saw through this, answered the question in their hearts in the next words.

"1,440,000 Phantom Helmets. Of these, 37 per cent were in 24-hour working condition during the three-month period, but none of them were damaged due to operational failures. ”

Hearing this, there are 12 press conference venues around the world. All the reporters were moved.

"How could it be. ”

"There is no operational failure damage...... This ratio is too unscientific to say, isn't it?"

"Who can prove it? There has to be a limit to bragging, are you being an idiot for the world's consumers?" a short reporter stood up in the venue of the press conference in Tokyo. Yin and Yang strangely questioned Jiang Chen's hologram.

"I can certainly attest to that. Mr. Hirota. As for the evidence, there should be an Internet café 300 meters away from the right that is a cooperative experience store of Future People Technology, am I bragging, why don't you go and see for yourself? In addition, I noticed that you stood up and spoke without raising your hand just now, and you should have signed a guarantee about the order of the press conference before entering. I have to wonder, are you Sankei Shimbun reporters so unruly?"

Listen to whispers of sympathy or ridicule in your ear. Masao Hirota sat back with a grimace on his face.

He never expected that Jiang Chen, who was facing 12 venues at the same time, would be able to notice his speech.

Jiang Chen's criticism is obvious. It is said to 12 venues around the world. Having disgraced the Sankei Shimbun in front of the whole world, his career is over anyway.

"Let's move on to the issue of the Phantom Helmet. As you can see, our helmets have an exceptionally long standby time and an exceptional quality guarantee. Even if it runs continuously for three months, it will not freeze or even crash due to circuit aging, overheating damage, etc. ”

"And the Phantom Helmet is able to do this precisely because of our unique sealing technology. Therefore, our helmet will not be disassembled, nor will it accept any disassembly, any consequences caused by disassembly, by the user himself. Due to the failure caused by normal use, we provide free replacement and half-price exchange service. ”

Jiang Chen deliberately downplayed the role of graphene chips, but put a "necessary" name on the secret method of "disassembly and self-destruction". However, his statement was obviously not satisfactory to all the media, and many media raised their hands, hoping that Jiang Chen would give them a chance to speak.

Standing on the podium in the virtual reality, Jiang Chen simply counted the number of people who raised their hands in the 12 venues, and then coughed lightly and said.

"Judging from the press conference, it is clear that many media have a lot of doubts about the statement I gave. I'm almost done talking about what I should have said, and it's still the same old rule. The rest of the time, you ask me to answer. ”

As soon as Jiang Chen's words fell, all the media present raised their hands in unison. However, despite this, the scene was quite orderly, and there was a lesson from the Sankei Shimbun, and no reporter stood up to answer and disrupt the order of the venue.

Hearing Jiang Chen call his number, Charles, who was sitting next to Danny, immediately stood up and asked.

"Your company's sealing approach to the Phantom Helmet is understandable, but is it too much to disassemble the circuit overload program that is triggered by disassembly? After all, the user should have the right to control the product when purchasing the product. Confidentiality can be passed through patent law without sacrificing the rights and interests of users. ”

Hearing the tricky questions of his peers, Danny couldn't help but nod secretly. Although the reporter of this California daily newspaper seems a little silly, when he asks the question, he hits the nail on the head and points to the weakness of future technology. At the expense of the legitimate rights and interests of consumers? In this country that is "keen on rights protection", it is indeed difficult for Future People Technology to fool this problem in the past.

"Here I have to correct the public's misconception about our future human technology. However, Jiang Chen was prepared. Smiling in the face of many media, "First of all, we have never set up any confidentiality mechanism that harms the legitimate rights and interests of users. ”

For Jiang Chendi replied. Many of the reporters who were about to ask the question were dumbfounded.

What kind of answer is this? Forcibly saying that what is black is white?

"But you can't ignore the fact that you're infringing just because you signed a warranty agreement with the user at the time of purchase—" Charles argued.

"Pay attention to your wording, Mr. Charles. At present, Futureman Technology has only conducted pre-sales on the official website, and it is a pre-sale that can apply for a refund at any time and give up the place. The Phantom helmets currently on the market are in virtual reality experience stores, and those helmets have never been sold. Strictly speaking, they are all the property of future technology.

Over here. I do not hold those who dismantle the company's property individually or collectively legally responsible, but only charge the defaulting party a penalty of double the price of the helmet. Until the consumer can get the helmet from the express package three days later, we are the ones who have been infringed. Do you understand?" Jiang Chen looked into Charles' eyes and said with a smile.

The reason for not pursuing legal responsibility is that it cannot be pursued at all, and some of the demolition acts are so-called by individuals, while some demolition studies are carried out with the tacit consent of the state. to hold them accountable. It is as difficult as suing the future people for monopoly in the new country.

The Adam's apple moved. A sense of powerlessness rose in Charles's heart. Although I always feel that there is something wrong with his words, I do say a lot of what is wrong.

Danny, who was sitting next to him, was secretly surprised, this Jiang Chen put the position of the Future People Group from the infringing party to the infringed party with one sentence.

"What I'm going to say next is an explanation to all consumers who are interested in buying a Phantom helmet. After a pause, Jiang Chen continued, "As we said, we have never set up any secrecy mechanism. Disassembling the helmet caused the circuit to burn out, purely because in the helmet we have a device to protect the circuit. Dismantling will cause the device to be overloaded. So much so that it damaged the internal circuitry of the helmet. I'll admit that this is where our future technology is lacking. We will definitely improve this, and we hope that you will understand. ”

There is no one to insist that the secrecy mechanism is not technically sufficient, and there is no one to explain it shamelessly. At this moment, many people who are coveting virtual reality technology on the official website of Future People Technology, who are paying attention to the live broadcast of the press conference, have patted their thighs and shouted shameless.

But they have no way to refute this explanation. After all, only one company can make immersive virtual reality equipment, and only they have the final right to interpret this technology.

I can't do it, you can't force me to do it, can you?

The media, which had intended to question whether secrecy was excessive, also abandoned this plan. Future People Technology has already explained this, and asking questions from this aspect is just a waste of valuable questioning opportunities, and will not get any interesting information.

After Charles sat down, another journalist who had been selected to speak stood up. Judging from the microphone in her hand, her identity should be that of a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, and his questions must be focused on the economic side, not the technical side.

"Mr. Jiang Chen, your company has achieved an absolute leading position in the field of virtual reality. Will you use your technological advantages to prevent other companies from entering this space?"

This is a sensitive issue because it involves an issue that is kept secret by all the large groups.

That's a monopoly.

"Of course not, we would be happy to work with other companies to develop the virtual reality space. As you can see, the Phantom Helmet is more than just a game, the game is just a means by which we bring it to the world. I was able to attend the launch event at 12 venues around the world at the same time because of the Phantom Helmet's capabilities. Jiang Chen smiled.

When Jiang Chen's words came out, the eyes of all media reporters lit up. Futureman Technology is ready to cooperate with other companies in the field of virtual reality!

It is precisely because of his words that the next questions from the media basically revolve around the content of cooperation.

For example, what form of cooperation will it take, and will it open up its technology to others? For such questions, Jiang Chen also answered them one by one.

Immersive virtual reality technology is the core technology of Future Human Technology, this technology will not be disclosed, and there is no plan to register a patent in the short term, so you can develop it yourself if you want. But for the cooperation in content, Futureman Technology is absolutely welcome.

The scope of the cooperation will cover any area that can be covered by the Internet today. After a period of time, Futureman will gradually open up the relevant technology of virtual reality program development to partners, so as to facilitate the development of software that can be compatible with phantom helmets by Internet companies.

The market for virtual reality is huge, and the functions of the Internet today can theoretically be realized on the virtual reality platform. The power of one company alone is definitely not enough to eat the entire market, and it may also face antitrust investigations for hindering other companies from entering the market.

Futureman Technology only needs to grasp the "key" to enter this market, as well as the quantum computer server as the "door", and in the future, it will launch a quantum communication satellite as a virtual reality network connection node.

As for the world behind the door, it should be developed by companies all over the world.

Therefore, this product launch conference, while playing the phantom helmet as the key to enter the virtual world, is also releasing a positive signal to enterprises around the world that are interested in entering the virtual reality industry.

A signal called cooperation. (To be continued.) )
