Chapter 135: Breakthrough Point for Software
Hardware, cloud services, and system software all need to work at the same time to make up for the shortcomings of the current era. To this end, Meng Qian once again refined and explored more detailed aspects. He found that it is not difficult to catch up with the generation in all aspects, but it is very rich and cumbersome.
For example, just having the above items is not enough.
What about the game?
You can't just be a powerful machine, but end up playing a funny situation with minesweepers – and that applies to VR equipment as well. The machines are ahead of their time, but the game is still like this, and game companies are not interested in developing games for VR at all.
There are too many barrel effects in the VR industry, and the game will weaken the experience, thereby weakening the enthusiasm of consumers, which will directly affect the income of the industry, and eventually reduce the popularity of this industry and become a chicken rib...... Meng Qian is a spirit, no, it can't be like this!
Meng Qian thought of a way, it was unrealistic to do all the things by himself.
Game software is more about professional design and creativity, and it is useless to open and hang, and he does not have it.
What to do...... Outsource! Right! Professional things are done by professional institutions, and the game is naturally on the game development company!
He used the Internet to find game companies one by one, but the results were not promising, and large companies such as Activision Blizzard and EA did not have projects specifically for VR. Some VR games are only platform ported, and the graphics are not excellent, which does not meet his expectations.
And some small companies are targeting VR, but the picture is ...... It's better for Meng Qian to form a team by himself! Later, he learned that traditional game companies are not very intent, and the three-dimensional scene of VR games. The cost will definitely be higher, just like the special effects of a movie.
He clutched his head and thought. Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration.
Holographic 3D modeling technology?
He once experienced it in Las Vegas, behind a holographic projection that was fake. It is a holographic entertainment company that is at the forefront of the world. Stone invests in the industry, now just need to find him, borrow this team, to confirm the speculation.
Meng Qian's idea is to find a representative company, make a few VR games that represent the next generation, and combine them with excellent equipment, which will cause a hot spot - the game giants who smell the benefits. Naturally, they will get involved in the VR business and promote the prosperity of the software field.
So he called Tiger but couldn't get through.
Then I called his assistant, who said he was on a business trip and was currently in Colombia.
"I'll contact the others." Meng Qian hung up the phone, isn't Colombia in South America?
Unable to figure out why Tiger ran over there, Meng Qian dialed Erica's assistant again, contacted her in person, and made it clear what he meant.
Although it seems to disturb her rest. But Madame listened patiently and offered a solution: "The company is based in Los Angeles, but the team is currently working in New York. ”
"Isn't that a coincidence?" Meng Qian asked.
"You can wait for them to come back, or I can provide the contact information of another executive," Erica said. He's a friend of my husband's and he's good at playing games. ”
Play the game...... Meng Qian automatically forgave women and post-70s for their lack of concept in this regard, and agreed: "Okay." I'm also free. ”
"Wait a minute." Erica hung up.
Half a minute later, a photo was received. The business card above reads: Harry. Madson is a director and vice president of Holographic Entertainment.
Then he called. Quickly connected: "Hello? ”
"Hello, Mr. Madson, I'm David. Meng, I thought-"
"Yay! I know you, amazing Chinese! Madame just called me and said she had something important to talk to me about? "The background on the other end of the phone was a bit noisy, like a party.
Erica directly said that it was an important matter, Meng Qian explained: "It's about virtual reality technology, in terms of holographic framing, I heard that your company is very technical. ”
Madsen proudly said, "This is the best technology in the world, and we have successfully resurrected Michael. Jackson, Elvis. Presley (Elvis) ...... Hollywood studios, big game companies, are eager to work with us. ”
Out of politeness, Meng Qian quietly listened to the other party's boasting for a while, trying to distinguish what he meant, and then asked, "When will you have time to meet?" ”
"How's it going to be tomorrow afternoon?" "I'm at an event in Las Vegas, so I'll be free in the afternoon," Madson said. ”
"Okay." Meng Qian wrote down the address given by the other party, and then he called his assistant Ralph: "Help me prepare my ticket to Las Vegas." ”
……
At noon the next day, Meng Qian arrived in Las Vegas.
It's already a cool day in the Bay Area, but the heat of Las Vegas is coming in after leaving the airport. After waiting for a minute, the hotel shuttle arrived, the driver apologized for the delay, and then opened the door for him to take him to the Future Center Hotel.
Although there are many top hotels in Las Vegas, Meng Qian prefers this one, which is full of technology.
Take the time to appreciate holographic projection technology, which has been used commercially, such as stage sets, environmental virtualization. He also took the time to understand that the technology is still possible, and what he values is the technology of 3D modeling, if it is very powerful, it can be outsourced.
In the afternoon, he met Harry at the café. Madsen.
The other party has a big back head combed back with his hair, a pair of big sunglasses on his nose, a floral shirt and jeans, and he feels a little uninhibited.
"David. Eminent? He stood up.
"It's me, Mr. Madson." Meng Qian shook his hand and sat down.
"I heard you want to develop a virtual reality-related field?" Madsen looked very interested.
Meng Qian nodded: "Yes, we have made breakthroughs in terms of equipment and immersion, but in terms of scene construction, we are facing the problem of time-consuming and high cost. ”
"I see." Madsen nodded, and confidently: "Our modeling and detail capture technology can meet your needs for scene capture." ”
Meng Qian said: "I have learned about your technology, which is very suitable for the construction of 3D scenes. I want to work with you guys to develop better content, but I don't know what you do about the game making aspect? ”
Madsen smiled: "Don't worry, we've worked with game companies to create some time-consuming and resource-consuming scenes, and the results are very good." ”
You've found the right person! Meng Qian asked, "When then?" ”
Madsen thought for a moment and said, "I'm also very interested in VR, and I want to go to the scene to experience the progress you've made, the actual results, okay?" ”
Meng Qian was very refreshing: "No problem. ”
"Can't wait to experience the games of the future." Madsen smiled and said, "But for now, please wait for two days, I still have something to do here." ”
"Okay." Meng Qian said.
"Cool!" Madson was satisfied, "Vegas is a wonderful place, enjoy it. In addition, the nightlife here is first-class. (To be continued.) )
