If you have the inspiration, you will start immediately, and there are a large number of technical men in the research center, and it is not difficult for them to transplant the function, after resetting the function of the brainwave remote control, then connect it to the VR headset, and then try to run the software. For the next three days, the impromptu interest teams were tested.

Three days later, Meng Qian began to experience the effects.

Wear a brainwave remote control device, plus a VR headset, and run the software.

In front of him is a house with a somewhat fake green lawn growing underneath. Meng Qian had a message of progress in his mind, and with a slight delay, the figure stepped forward, and he thought about stretching out his hand - the figure also pushed the door open, and he stepped into the room, looking left and right.

He tested a lot of movements in the virtual software, such as forward, backward, turning, squatting, etc., and the intervention of brainwave control did replace the handle device, which greatly enhanced the sense of immersion. However, there are also shortcomings, there is a delay in brainwave control, and complex operations can be wrong.

Meng Qian said while experiencing: "The control still needs to be optimized. ”

He walked in the room, looked at the paintings on the walls, the books on the bookcase, and said, "The picture needs to be improved, and the refresh rate is the same." ”

He touched the object in the game: "If there is a data glove, it would be perfect to pass on the sense of touch to me!" ”

After fifteen minutes of experience, he took off his helmet and felt a little dizzy: "Improving the display of the eyepiece may help prevent dizziness." ”

Jim. Johnson recorded: "There are so many things to improve that I would suggest that it would be better to set up a special research group and earmark the grant." ”

"I will." Meng Qian nodded, his plan was to set up a company.

But not yet. The foundation is completed first, and after confirming that there are prospects. Re-appropriation starts. The main thing is that he has not yet obtained a green card, and it is inconvenient to set up a company. VR also needs a lot of investment, and you can't just throw money at it as soon as your mind is hot, and it's easy to lose money if you're not sure.

……

Taking advantage of his status as a shareholder, a temporary team was formed.

Brainwave control originally belonged to the AI neuroscience aspect, and the team did not come to VR, but after Meng Qian communicated with the executives, he temporarily switched to VR services. They will optimize the controls, increase the sensitivity of the device, and strive for command delays that are not felt by the experiencer.

On the other hand, the eyepiece technology of VR headsets also needs to be updated. Originally, it was a single-eye640*800 resolution,The picture presented is not good,At least the eyes1920*1080,Or even higher2K、4K,Then increase the refresh rate,Reduce the sense of picture delay。

Again. After entering the virtual environment, Meng Qian's feeling has been greatly different, the delay of brainwave control has been greatly reduced, and the accuracy of complex operations has been improved. Content-wise. The surrounding environment has been significantly improved with the support of ultra-high resolution.

Meng Qian spent a period of time experiencing and learning the existing technology, and with his absorption of future knowledge, his understanding of the existing technology was very fast. In just a few days. He has already formed a concept and officially stepped into the profession as a professional.

And then on the basis of the existing one. He activates the plug-in.

He worked hard to explore the content of "virtual reality", including computer, optics, neuroscience, brain domain science, etc...... He's on virtual reality technology. He has more advanced theories and experience than any other person or institution in the world.

Although the technology in the next ten or ten years is not difficult, there is a lot of content. There are mainly hardware and software.

These two things still need to be refined, and the hardware can be divided into eyepieces, displays, and input and output; The software includes game software, application software, system software, etc.

There are many contents, and Meng Qian wants to solve them in the same way.

His goal is not to compete with his peers, but to move the next generation of technology.

First, the hardware of the VR device, he threw away the clunky headset and copied a leaner, smarter headset; Then work on the core display eyepiece, the monocle is not good, and multiple sets of lenses are needed for display effects, vertigo and other problems.

Multiple sets of lenses can solve many display and experience problems. In terms of immersion, interactive devices (position tracking, sensor gloves, motion capture, eye trackers) must meet next-generation standards; The voice system must conform to the pattern of the three-dimensional world rather than simple stereo.

Hardware is mostly a concept for the next ten or ten years, but it is not difficult to implement. Even with today's technology, there are many alternatives. There are many gaps that can be filled in this new field, and one or two excellent ideas can make up for many experience shortcomings.

He drew a lot of drawings, wrote down a lot of ideas, and compared them with the current technological environment, he burned a lot of them - if these things were obtained by other companies, they would definitely be treated as treasures, because they were all new and forward-looking, but he didn't take them seriously.

Meng Qian is very willful, he needs to find the coolest and best plan.

The efficiency of his current acquisition of technology is many times higher than it was at the beginning, especially in the past twenty or thirty years, and he can quickly absorb it almost as soon as he is inspired by it.

So it's too easy to deal with VR, which is more than ten years ahead of its time - the only thing that makes him struggle is, with so many solutions, which one is the coolest?

It's a blissful annoyance.

Meng Qian, who had been staying in the laboratory for many days, finally selected the most suitable set of equipment solutions.

He then communicates with his team members to discuss areas that need to be improved.

It turns out that one person's head is not as comprehensive as a group of people, Johnson said: "If you want to experience excellent, realistic graphics, you need to use a good hardware platform, but the reality is that except for a small number of game enthusiasts, the user's hardware is very average." ”

Meng Qian also suddenly realized that this was also a key.

Even though VR is advanced and popular, most users don't immediately upgrade their hardware, which is related to cost, effort, and so on.

Jim. "It's unrealistic to expect users to upgrade their hardware, so it's important to optimize the software to make a better experience with a great engine or system," Johnson said. ”

Meng Qian pondered: "The software has limited functions...... It's best to go with it. ”

Johnson said: "The shortcomings of the hardware can also be provided by the service side, such as cloud technology, so that complex computing and graphics processing are not borne by the user, and only need to be connected to the cloud server on the network, and will be able to experience the ultimate game screen?" ”

Meng Qian was inspired: "Very good! ”

"There are already some markets for cloud gaming in the U.S. ”

But Meng Qian had another question: "In this way, we have to consider the traffic of cloud games, is it charged or free?" System platform problem, self-development? ”

Johnson said: "The cost of cloud services is not low, and I think a certain charge is desirable. If the funds are sufficient, it is better to develop a system platform that can optimize the game environment, better support cloud services, and integrate resources to enrich the user experience. ”

Meng Qian listened carefully, and Johnson said boldly: "More importantly, VR is a new platform, the PC platform has made Microsoft, and the mobile platform has achieved Android and iOS. ”

"Wait." Meng Qian had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and he confirmed: "You want to say that we not only make hardware, but also have potential under the VR system software?" ”

Jim nodded, "That's right, if our products are good." At present, we have leading brainwave control technology and the best hardware design, which has been ahead of our peers. ”

"The rest of the software, the technology can also be improved." Meng Qian is confident in this regard, and the combination of advantages means that their products are significantly ahead.

The power of hardware will inevitably drive the development of software, and when there are more and more users, and game companies can only rely on this system platform, isn't it a new system giant?

Microsoft, Android, iOS, ...... Who will be next?

Meng Qian felt that he had opened the door to a whole new realm. (To be continued.) )
