Chapter 16: Emergency Meetings
It's almost the time to get off work in the evening. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xia Xuan, who was immersed in game development, didn't know that the black USB flash drive he handed over to Zhou Zhiheng had been passed up layer by layer inside Pain Xun, and finally reached the hands of CEO Ma Huateng.
The President's Office of the Pain Joy Building.
"Bang"
The elevator door opened, and a middle-aged man with elegant appearance and eyes walked out, and several high-level executives who were waiting outside immediately greeted him. Zhou Zhiheng fell behind.
"Mr. Ma!" Liu Chi, the president of the company, has a serious complexion.
The middle-aged man glanced at Liu Chiping, swept over Ren Yuxin, who was also the president of the Mutual Entertainment Department and the Mobile Internet Department, and Lu Shan, the president of the Technology Department, and nodded: "You are all here." Let's have a meeting. ”
The secretary hurriedly pushed open the door of the office and poured water for several bigwigs.
Lu Shan, president of the technology department, personally handed a thick test document to Ma Huateng, Liu Chiping and Ren Yuxin.
"This is the test report about "VR Optimization Master", I gathered a few senior programmers to test the ......" Lu Shan, president of the technical department, said in a deep tone, "The programming language and algorithms are very advanced, they can only understand part of the code, and the rest is still being studied." But the part that was successfully deciphered was also amazing enough! ”
"Look at the report."
The office was quiet for a while, silent, only the sound of flipping through the information, and for a while, the sound of whispering sounded, except for the silent Ma Huateng, several bigwigs were talking in low voices.
"It's a little scary."
"Could it be that hackers stole it from companies like Oculus and Sony? It is impossible for a small team and a company without technical accumulation to develop this kind of software. “
Ma Huateng finally looked at Ren Yuxin, who was also the president of the Mutual Entertainment Department and the Mobile Internet Department, which was his right-hand man.
Ren Yuxin was prepared, and said with a smile: "Let Zhiheng come in and explain." There is a specialization in the art industry, and VR is a novelty after all, and he has research in this area. ”
Ma Huateng nodded, looked at the secretary standing at the door of the office, and after a while, Zhou Zhiheng came in with an evaluation report of the VR community.
In fact, several bigwigs sitting here, except for Liu Chiping, vice president of the company, are all science technicians, and they know more about VR than ordinary people, especially Ren Yuxin, the former backbone of Huawei, the interactive entertainment department and the mobile Internet department managed by him, and it is the base camp of the VR layout of Pain Xun, as a chess player, it is impossible for him to have no in-depth understanding of VR.
"Mr. Ma, Mr. Liu, Mr. Ren, Mr. Lu."
Zhou Zhiheng looked very calm, and greeted several bigwigs unhurriedly, and then opened the evaluation report in his hand.
"After the evaluation, we partially confirmed that VR Optimizer has an effect on all VR devices currently on the market...... In particular, the helmets of HTC, Samsung, Sony and Oculus, because the hardware and chip conditions are good enough, the optimization effect is more obvious, reaching a 50% increase! ”
50% increase!
Several bigwigs looked at each other, their eyes full of shock.
"Is it a comprehensive improvement?" Ren Yuxin sat up straight, his eyes like wolves, glowing with excitement.
"Yes, comprehensive improvement!"
"Let's start with the hardware. Our test team started with the current top-of-the-line computers and installed VR Optimizer on computers with different configurations...... I even tested it on a laptop with a 960m graphics card, and it turned out that the 960M laptop could run most VR content smoothly. ”
"Of course, the VR experience of the 960M notebook is of course not as good as the 980 and the machine with a better graphics card, but under the optimization of the "VR Optimization Master", the 960M graphics card has reached the minimum conditions for the VR experience, and one of our staff members experienced it for half an hour before he had a slight dizziness symptom, which is incredible!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhiheng could no longer maintain his calmness, and his face was amazed.
"A laptop with a 960M graphics card can also experience VR smoothly? Are you sure? Ma Huateng's expression was serious.
The performance of the 960M graphics card is roughly close to that of the desktop GTX660 and GTX750TI.
This is a thousand-yuan level graphics card, which is considered to be mid-to-high-end, the mainstream of the current Chinese computer market, and then up, it is also a gtx970 graphics card recommended by various VR helmets, which is the level of 2,000 yuan, which doubles all at once.
In fact, if you really take the GTX970 machine with the official recommended configuration to pick up the VR headset, the experience is definitely not good, and there is even a serious jamming phenomenon.
The top three or four thousand yuan gtx980 can be said to be the standard configuration of the current VR headset, and in the whole country, how many players can spend more than 10,000 yuan on a computer and 7,000 to buy an htc.vive helmet specifically to experience VR?
About 20,000 people play VR, local tyrants, so the current popularization of VR has only encountered the hardware threshold, if the hardware technical conditions can not go up, the price of hardware can not be reduced, then the popularization of VR is impossible to talk about.
However, VR Optimizer has changed all that, and it's a game-changer.
If it is the standard configuration of VR equipment, from gtx980 to gtx750ti and the corresponding 960m notebook, four or five thousand can build a personal computer suitable for VR equipment, or buy a notebook directly.
The cost has been cut in half.
With the addition of helmets, about 10,000 is within the affordability range of many young players.
"It seems that after I go back, I will urge those senior programmers to study it carefully, not to mention other things, the catalyst for hardware performance is worth learning from our programmers." Lu Shan, president of the technology department, smiled bitterly after being shocked.
This software wasn't developed by a big company.
It's a small group.
"Go on!" Horse painting vine road.
The four bigwigs were all looking at themselves, and Zhou Zhiheng couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, this was an opportunity for Pain Xun, and it was also his opportunity.
"Hardware performance optimization is one thing."
"The second aspect is the optimization of image quality, which basically eliminates the screen door effect." Zhou Zhiheng said in a deep voice, "I have researched, the reason why "VR Optimization Master" can reduce the dependence of VR equipment on graphics card hardware is because this software comes with a new technology - eye tracking. ”
"The human eye can't see everything in the field of view clearly at all times, and things outside the focus will be slightly blurred, but with eye tracking technology, VR equipment can refer to the human eye and focus on rendering the scene in the focus field of view, so you don't have to waste too much rendering resources outside the field of view."
"Instead of reducing the immersion of VR, this technology has improved it. Because it is closer to the vision of the real human eye, and at the same time reduces the dependence of VR equipment on graphics card rendering, killing two birds with one stone! ”
Zhou Zhiheng is extremely respectful of eye-tracking technology, and he is full of enthusiasm when it comes to it.
"And then there's vertigo!" Zhou Zhiheng said, "Our staff used a 960m laptop to experience, because the graphics card was running under high load, and the game stuttered after half an hour, which was also the reason for their vertigo." ”
"But with a computer configured with 970 and 980 graphics cards, I dare to say that even if I play all day, I won't get dizzy from the headset and VR content!"
Hardware.
Quality.
Vertigo symptoms.
These three optimizations basically kill all VR content.
