Chapter 147: The Cool Future of VR
After Meng Qian was determined to participate, he stayed, and before granting him status, he could use the books in the old lady's house to read some materials and information about the Brotherhood, as well as their goals. Some are open to the public, such as their foundation.
However, the core part of the fraternity is confidential, including for informal members. They cover a vast range of fields, from technology to economics to politics, and celebrity members have a lot to offer. Of the more than 10,000 members, only more than 4,000 are official, all of them elites.
Judging from the information he has access to now, the Brotherhood was founded at the beginning of the last century and developed and expanded during the Cold War, because these human wars or cold wars caused some people to want to pursue a better and more stable system, so they came together and developed in a low-key manner.
Meng Qian knew that this was not definitely a righteous organization: they still pursued capital gains and elite leadership, and the thinking of economic interests was dominant, but compared with the ruthlessness of most big capitals in the past and now, they had a little more advanced consciousness to contribute to society.
It could be a progress, or it could be a conspiracy to keep up with the times.
Meng Qian believes that when it comes to capital, nothing will be simple, but he is a participant.
A day later.
Witnessed by some of the members and leaders of the brotherhood, Meng Qian joined. The information is included in the organizational file and becomes an informal member. He gained access to and use some of the Order's resources, and it wasn't until he became a full member that more secrets were revealed.
He intends to spend this year thinking about whether or not to really participate in their "big cause". He is personally willing to do something big in his lifetime. However, the Brotherhood is more ambitious, and he needs to see whether they have the strength and ability to do so.
……
Stayed in London for two days and returned.
on the plane. Meng Qian used private occasions to discuss with Tiger: "Such a huge elite organization. And still growing, do you have any plans for the future? ”
"Specifically?" Tiger looked at him.
Meng Qian said: "It's like ...... If you can achieve this goal. Or is there a place where it can be achieved, but not a peaceful, bloodless movement, you? ”
"If there is an opportunity to create better conditions, the organization will put itself in the perspective of the majority, and will consider the merits of the elite model, the magnitude of the damage, and calculate a more reasonable way to implement it......"
"I don't need official words." Meng Qian shook his head, "You just tell me what you think, private." ”
"Yes." Tiger gave a succinct answer. "If there is an opportunity, we will do it; If there is a place to do it, we will do it. ”
"I see." Meng Qian understood, and added in his mind: If someone blocks it, we will destroy it.
This kind of goal and ambition is too far away from ordinary people, but the Brotherhood is not an organization of ordinary people, they absorb elites in various fields, perhaps...... Meng Qian hopes to have this kind of opportunity. From his point of view. He wanted to do something big.
After saying goodbye to Tiger, Meng Qian returned to San Francisco.
It's useless to think too far, he must first think about himself - people don't kill for themselves. He has to have money and leisure, and then think about the capital conspiracy, a better world and other messy tunes. Everything is built on strength. You don't have the slightest strength, what ideals do you talk about?
Meng Qian went around the VR company and found three experience games created by Holographic Entertainment. It has already been delivered. It's very efficient, and with the involvement of new technologies. Whether it is the picture or the resolution, it can reach the level of fakeness. It can also realize the potential of VR concept equipment.
VR companies are currently short of intelligent systems and cloud technology.
The intelligent system, under his opening, has already dealt with the key problems, and the rest is only time; The same goes for cloud technology, leaving the team more to understand and test.
This set of advanced VR is expected to be available next year, and there are still more than two months to go, and it may be launched in the second half of next year to change the way people live.
"Can it do it?" Rachel is curious about his ambitions.
"The current generation, it's a little hard." Meng Qian leaned on her, to be precise, he was trapped on the mountain peak, stretching comfortably, and basking in the sun in the yard.
"Huh?" She put her arms around his neck and looked at his hand-drawn drawings.
"Let's put it this way, I see VR from companies like Oculus and Sony as the first generation. Then my VR company, the concept test is the second generation, it has a better, leaner volume, higher immersion, if coupled with intelligence, peripheral interaction expansion, it may be the second generation and a half. ”
"Two and a half generations are okay?" Rachel asked.
"Maybe." Meng Qian is not sure, "But I still have plans for the third generation, which will use better head-mounted glasses, even lightweight glasses, and even contact lens VR; In addition, a full set of somatosensory clothing provides a comprehensive feeling of touch, smell and taste. ”
"The third generation can!" Rachel, a layman, also knows that three generations of products will change traditions.
"Of course." Meng Qian is confident that when the VR company tested the second generation, he was already designing (plagiarizing) the third generation of products.
"How exciting will it be?" Rachel imagined.
"It's going to make computers, phones, and even parts of the real world come out." Meng Qian said.
This is not impossible, when VR can provide an experience comparable to the real world, intelligence will replace the current functions of personal computers and mobile phones, and only need voice control, or even brainwave commands, to do it - who still likes flat and manual operation at that time?
Going deeper, VR will create a virtual world that is similar to the real thing, and users will participate in it through the Internet and become a member of the virtual world, and this virtual world will cover everything: shopping malls, movie theaters, amusement parks, beaches, ski resorts, and so on.
People can upload their body shape data, visit the mall in the virtual world, try on their favorite clothes, and the artificial intelligence will select and recommend the most satisfactory ones - after the fit, automatic ordering, home delivery, the same data, the same real people wear the same.
In terms of entertainment, people can not only watch movies in the virtual world, choose the best spot, meet up with friends - even if they are far away, they can sit together, and even touch each other - because of the somatosensory clothing - or develop something beyond friendship.
In other life, the car 4S shop can be stationed in the virtual world, and the data of the vehicle can be scanned and uploaded, so that customers can test drive and feel more freely, which saves time and gets a richer experience; When you go to a restaurant to eat, the somatosensory suit can also input nutrients, which can then affect the sense of taste.
Rachel listened to Meng Qian's imagination and was surprised: "It's like a movie!" ”
"No, no, the movie is more magical, and the third generation of VR is more reality-based." Meng Qian shook his head and took a sip of the juice she had brought to his mouth.
He added: "As for the magic in the movie, it is the fourth generation of VR, and after being connected to the nerves, it will show a world that you can't tell apart." Do you take red pills, or blue pills? ”
Rachel was amazed and full of anticipation: "Can you do it?" ”
"The first three generations can." Meng Qian replied in the affirmative, "What I am designing is the third generation of content, which is expected to be launched in the next ten years." ”
This looks like it should be thirty years from now, but it was moved to the present by this amazing genius? Is it possible? But looking at the current VR, the possibilities are great!
Meng Qian has actually turned it into an inevitable realization project, but why didn't he skip the second generation to launch it?
Cost.
Cost is the most important, the third generation of equipment, network, logistics services, participating merchants, have various requirements, rash launch, it can only be said that slow development, the company will lose money.
It's better to launch a second-generation product first and lead the way than to skip a generation – accelerating development is far more acceptable than skipping.
Thinking about other aspects, such as national policies, resistance to disrupting industries, ethical or legal issues, etc., needs to be slowly overdone.
And he can't do it alone. Brotherhoods may be an ideal resource for changing the world and amassing wealth, and VR can do it – and reduce bloodshed.
Meng Qian felt that his thoughts were clear.
His greatest advantage is that he has the future, and after constantly solving the most basic problems of himself, he has money and power, and then he thinks about higher levels.
When you are penniless, the most important thing to think about is how to eat enough; After you have eaten enough, you think about having tickets, horses, and houses; When you have it, you want to be respected, socialize, and be willing to pay a part, money, or whatever.
People who are thinking about having enough to eat can't understand the thinking behind them: throw the money away?
Just like Maslow's theory of needs, when you reach a level, your thinking will "evolve", and Meng Qian is currently at the stage of stepping on the top with half a foot.
"Brotherhood?" Meng Qian put down his pen and pondered, maybe it would be the greatest help for the ideal. (To be continued.) )
