Just when Iwata was full of excitement, lying on the oversized and soft bed of the Foster City Crown Hotel and couldn't sleep, in the far east on the other side of the ocean, Xu Yeming was also excited to watch the latest technology demonstration with Wang Mengyao in the Oriental Game Research Institute.

“…… As you can see," Chen Qixia, the director of the comprehensive research department of the Game Research Institute, pointed to the staff member next to him who was about to make a demonstration, and continued: "He is waiting to demonstrate a new game control technology. ”

Xu Yeming looked in the direction pointed by Chen Qixia, and the staff member was sitting there, holding something that looked like a gamepad in his hand, but he didn't hold it with both hands like a regular gamepad, but only held it with his right hand. "Well, it seems that it should be a relatively unique gamepad!" Xu Yeming guessed in his heart.

The staff glanced at Chen Qixia, and then saw that it was a demonstration, but it was a bit unexpected by Xu Yeming, the staff member did not press the button on the "game controller" with his fingers, but held the "game controller" and waved it directly, and what was even more wonderful was that the game character on the TV screen also moved.

"Huh!" Xu Yeming showed a look of surprise, took two steps forward, and came to the side of the staff member to observe, Wang Mengyao also showed a curious expression, and stood on the other side to look. The "game handle" in the hands of the staff is very different from the regular game controller,It's a little like the remote control of the TV,It's just that the buttons on it are much less than the general TV remote control,There is only one analogue joystick,Plus4 buttons,If the "game handle" is horizontal,If the appearance of the "game handle" is more sleek,It's a little bit like a game controller。 But judging from the actual operation of the staff, there is no need to push the analog stick at all, and the game characters on the TV screen are also doing actions, which makes Xu Yeming and Wang Mengyao very confused.

"This is a new type of game controller developed using a motion sensor developed in cooperation with Analog Devices in the United States......" Chen Qixia noticed the puzzled expressions of the two, and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce: "However, it is still relatively primitive, and for the time being, it can only detect plane motion, that is, up and down, left and right, if it moves back and forth, it is not good." ”

Xu Yeming suddenly realized, he then understood why the staff didn't need to push the analog stick, just shaking the "game controller" up and down, it turned out that this was pressing the arrow button. Wang Mengyao curiously took the "game controller" from the staff, and shook up and down in the way the other party operated just now, at first it was a little rusty, and the game characters on the screen became as if they were out of control, but it didn't take long for her to find new fun from it, and the game control became similar......

"Look here!" Chen Qixia led the two to continue the tour, saying as she walked: "This is also a new type of game controller. ”

Looking in the direction pointed by Chen Qixia, Xu Yeming and Wang Mengyao saw something that surprised them even more, under the accompaniment of relaxed music, a staff member stood with his empty hands, standing in front of the TV screen and dancing around, looking at the posture as if there was a glass in the air in front of him, the magic is that there is also the image of this staff member on the TV screen, and he is doing the same movement with his movements, if it is not for the fact that there are some things similar to game pictures on the TV screen, Xu Yeming is a little suspicious that this in front of him seems to be legendary"Video surveillance" too.

Xu Yeming has also been to the Game Research Institute before, but because the authority is not high enough, he can't see many places at that time, and this kind of comprehensive new technology display is not every time you can encounter it, but one thing he knows is that the Oriental Game Research Institute will not get that kind of non-nutritious thing, and nine times out of ten it is related to games. Obviously, from the perspective of the game, this thing in front of him should not be "video surveillance", or it should not be simple video surveillance, so Xu Yeming took two steps forward and observed it carefully.

Before Xu Yeming could see the reason, Wang Mengyao couldn't help it, turned her head to look at Chen Qixia, and asked curiously, "Minister Chen, what is this?"

"Well," they were all a few people inside, and Chen Qixia didn't plan to sell Guanzi, so she organized the language a little in her heart, and began to introduce it directly: "This is a human-computer interaction technology based on visual recognition, or it can also be said to be an image posture control technology......"

After listening to Chen Qixia's explanation, Xu Yeming had a sudden sense of enlightenment, the so-called "video surveillance" in front of him is really not video surveillance, in fact, when he observed before, he noticed that there was something that looked like a camera on the TV, and once let him regard the performance of the staff as "video surveillance" However, after getting Chen Qixia's explanation, he finally understood that the scene in front of him was actually a demonstration of a somewhat alternative way of game control, a performance that controlled the game through the player's body movements.

Perhaps because she felt that dancing in front of the TV screen in front of everyone was not ladylike enough, Wang Mengyao didn't take the initiative to try it this time, but Xu Yeming was attracted by this novel way of playing, and with the help of the staff, he stood in front of the TV screen and tried to learn the other party's actions just now.

"Hmm...... Push your hand a little further to the left, yes, and shake it gently......"

“…… You can move with both hands, pay attention to the reaction on the TV screen, and just move your hands......"

Under the guidance of the staff, Xu Yeming quickly figured out the situation, he is now playing a game called "cleaning glass", to put it bluntly, it is actually very boring, it is equivalent to holding a rag to wipe the glass there, if it is at home, he rarely does this kind of thing, often he is forced to spend some money to finish the work by hours, but standing in front of the TV screen and facing the air "Wipe the glass" Just one more accompaniment of music made him rub one piece after another with great interest, and there was no fatigue or boredom at all.

After playing for a while, Xu Yeming reluctantly walked away from the TV screen, came to Chen Qixia's side, and asked with a smile: "Well, this thing is really interesting, does it have a name?"

"EyeToy!" Chen Qixia replied with a slight smile on her face, "This name was originally created by the boss himself, which is quite interesting." ”

"Oh! The name given by the boss, well, is indeed interesting. Xu Yeming nodded sympathetically, and his admiration for his boss Zhang Lexing was a little more.

"Speaking of EyeToy, it's really thanks to the boss, if it weren't for a small company called GestureTek that he acquired a few years ago, if it weren't for the boss who specifically mentioned this kind ......of image attitude control technology, if it weren't for the boss who has a lot of shares in Logitech, maybe there wouldn't be EyeToy at all, at least not so soon," Chen Qixia said with a sigh on the side.

Xu Yeming nodded with deep sympathy again, the boss sometimes seems to be very magical, and often makes arrangements that many people can't understand a long time ago, just like the PS game consoles and electronic pets back then, these things often take a long time to show their effects, and every time at this time, people have to admire the boss's foresight. I think the same should be true of EyeToy, which is valued by the boss, maybe it will become a fashionable popular thing after a while, at least Xu Yeming thought it was very interesting when he tried it just now, if this kind of product really came out, he would definitely buy one without hesitation.

"Hmm......" At this time, Xu Yeming remembered a very important question, so he asked Chen Qixia: "So is the technology of this EyeToy mature?"

Xu Yeming also has this question because he has seen or heard of many amazing technologies before, but in the end they disappeared in the long river of history for various reasons.

Chen Qixia shook her head slightly with a smile and said: "Minister Xu, don't worry, we have been studying the relevant technology of EyeToy for a long time, although it has not yet reached the point of direct online production, but the technical reserves in all aspects are in place, it can be said that as long as the market needs, we can come up with the final product as soon as possible." ”

Xu Yeming nodded with satisfaction, just now he came up with the idea of arranging market research and then listing EyeToy packaging, and now with Chen Qixia's guarantee, he continued to visit with confidence.

“…… This is a technology that is planned to be rolled out to large arcade machines, which can use memory cards to save specific data in the game......"

“…… These are some special accessories that are intended to be used on the DreamBox128 console to improve the performance of the console or increase the fun of the game......"

“…… There's a new demo of control technology over there, kind of touchscreen-like, but better suited to gaming than the usual ones......"

Under the leadership of Chen Qixia, one novel technology after another was displayed in front of Xu Yeming and Wang Mengyao, so that the two of them were surprised and learned some interesting stories, such as the weather forecast seen on Phoenix Satellite TV this month, the weather host stood in front of the map and marked various weather with his hands, and the magical performance actually used EyeToy's variant technology, which surprised the two.

What surprised Xu Yeming and Wang Mengyao even more was the display of some technologies in research and development, such as the immature brainwave controller, although it can only be used to play cards, or to hold back for a long time to move the chess pieces on the electronic chessboard, but it can bring a very sci-fi feeling, just like some sci-fi movies or novels depicted, maybe one day players don't need to play games with their hands, but just think about it.

The most dazzling display in the audience was a special display technology from the German Institute of Materials, which uses something called a holographic film to present a 360-degree stereoscopic image in the air. When the picture appeared in the air for the first time, the two people who came to visit had a very shocking feeling, as if they had entered the future world, although the image still looked a little rough, but Wang Mengyao couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

……

After reading the last Bluetooth wireless data exchange module used between game consoles and portable handhelds, Xu Yeming's heart suddenly swelled with pride, if he used to be only a little confident in becoming the No.1 in the game industry, now he has twelve points of confidence, with so many novel technology foundations, he is full of confidence in the company and his future.

Stretching out his hand and shaking Chen Qixia, Xu Yeming said with a little gratitude: "Minister Chen, I hope to see more interesting things in the future!"

"Minister Xu, don't worry, that's what we're doing. Chen Qixia kept a smile on his face, and he was also very satisfied with today's display, at least it seemed to impress the two visitors in front of him. Withdrawing her hand from Xu Yeming's side, Chen Qixia suddenly remembered something, turned around and smiled at Wang Mengyao, and asked, "Miss Wang, how is the boss lately, I haven't seen it for a while." ”

"The boss is busy now, the boss is about to give birth, and he is in no mood to care about other things for the time being!" Wang Mengyao replied.

"Oh, I heard that the due date of the proprietress is next month. Hearing someone mention the boss, Xu Yeming also came over very gossip and asked, "Miss Wang, is this true?"

"It should be, I heard it was the end of February or the beginning of March. Wang Mengyao continued to answer.

"Oh!" Xu Yeming and Chen Qixia each muttered in their hearts, and then began to think about their plans for the next few months......
