Chapter 165 Basic Technology and Principles of VR
"A tertiary factory?"
Gibbs nodded, "Yes, there are many things in the third-level factory that meet your requirements, such as VR technology, robot cameras, high-sensitivity sensors, ......"
Gibbs said a lot of examples, but Leyuan was more interested in the two he said at the beginning, Leyuan asked, "What is the situation of this VR technology and robot camera, you tell me." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"See for yourself. ”
Gibbs, of course, didn't explain it to him himself, but replaced the virtual screen with the same thing he had just said.
The first one is VR technology, and the introduction to VR technology is very simple, and it is all some basic introduction.
Even if Leyuan now takes out his mobile phone, boards the ferry, and enters VR, the explanation he gets from the ferry is no different from the explanation given by the super factory.
VR is an abbreviation for Virtual Reality, also known as an artificial environment.
Leyuan didn't look at the explanation much, and looked directly at the price.
"5 million!"
Beyond Leyuan's imagination, VR technology only needs 5 million, and he even shouted out in disbelief.
Gibbs smiled, "You read that right, it's five million, and you can redeem this set of techniques for only five million." ”
Looking at Gibbs's smile, Leyuan suddenly became alert, this is not Gibbs's consistent style, nor is it the style of the super factory, the things in the super factory have always been expensive, how can there be such a cheap one for him.
Leyuan, who was not at ease, turned his attention to the explanation of VR technology again, and only then did he notice that under the VR technology, there was a small bracket, which read: basic technology and its principle.
"Basic technology and how does it work?"
Le Yuan didn't understand the meaning of the words in this parenthesis for a while, so he had to look down patiently.
After he read all the introductions, Leyuan finally understood that the five million points were not for him to take advantage of, this was a big pit.
What does the basic technology and its principles mean, that is, he will give you a document that details how VR technology is implemented and what the technical principles are.
And when it comes to the core technology, there is no such thing as a core technology.
Leyuan glanced at Gibbs, "This is not very authentic." ”
Gibbs's face didn't change at all, "Willing to buy and sell, fair trade." ”
This time the super factory is really not authentic, how can Leyuan not know the principle of VR technology, even if he doesn't know, now he can check it on the Internet.
Leyuan didn't expect that the factory could sell him five million points for this kind of basic knowledge that everyone could know, but fortunately he kept an eye on it, otherwise the five million points would be blind.
The technical principle of VR is nothing more than the staggered display mode, and the staggered display mode is to divide a picture into two picture fields, that is, the singular scan line field composed of singular trace lines or the even scan line field or even image field composed of single image lines and even number trace lines.
In fact, in layman's terms, the reason why people can see three-dimensional scenery is because our eyes can see things independently, and there is a distance between the left and right eyes.
This spacing creates some subtle differences in the angle of view between the two eyes, and this difference can displace what the two eyes see separately.
Technically, this difference in images is called parallax.
The human brain is able to skillfully fuse the images of the two eyes to create a three-dimensional effect, and the VR eye also mimics this effect.
In order to use the staggered display pattern above to produce a stereoscopic image, we have to separate the images seen by the left and right eyes.
We use some kind of 3D display instrument to make this parallax continue to show on the screen. A stereoscopic signal is sent by the control IC, which is repeated alternately between the left and right eyes before being sent to the top of the display screen.
In other words, we actually see what the left eye should see, and the right eye sees what the right eye should see.
As early as 1956, cinematographer Morton Heiling invented a simulation simulator called Sensorama, and patented this technology five years later.
At that time, the device used a three-sided display to achieve a sense of space, which had nothing to do with today's virtual reality technology, and was at best a 3D display tool.
It wasn't until 1968 that Ivan Sutherland, the father of computer graphics, designed the first head-mounted display, Sutherland.
Although the monitor was very bulky and had to be attached to a pole on the ceiling to be worn on the head, Sutherland was born, the standard head-mounted virtual reality device and the birth of the head position tracking system, and the Ivan is also known as the father of virtual reality.
In the 70s and 80s, the theories and concepts of virtual reality technology have slowly taken shape, and the various components that make up virtual helmets have become technically mature and can even be bought on the market.
In '87, Jaron, a famous computer scientist, cobbled together the first commercial VR product that actually hit the market out of a variety of components on the market.
Until now, the theory of VR technology has actually been very mature, but the corresponding VR headset has not yet been popularized in the market. Because today's VR products are basically in the shape of the cup, with a single function and high price.
In other words, the current situation is that there is theoretical knowledge, but the hardware can't keep up, and in order to achieve the VR effect, the volume of the device can't be lowered at all.
Leyuan thought about it for a long time, and really felt that the super factory had some holes this time, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's take a look at this robot camera." (Let's not talk about the machine, civilized you, me and him)
Gibbs laughed, "What's the hurry, even if you don't buy this set of VR technology principles worth five million points, then you should also look at other things about VR." In fact, you know the theoretical principle of VR, so have you ever thought about whether it is possible to spell out a VR glasses with the current technology of Star Company?"
"Build one yourself?"
Leyuan thought about the existing technologies in the company, but after thinking about it for a long time, he shook his head, "I'm afraid not, we have graphics cards and image processing systems, including display systems, gyroscopes...... It barely works, but we don't have a head-tracking system, an eye-sensing system, and other technologies that we lack. ”
Gibbs smiled and poured a cup of tea from the teapot, but it was not Leyuan's share, he held the teacup and smiled, "These things you said are available in the factory, and the price is fair." ”
Leyuan's eyes narrowed, it turned out that Gibbs was paying attention to this, and the VR technology principle was just a bait.
