As the days passed, after Wang Manwen gained more authority, she is now in charge of almost all the affairs of Meng Qian's company, handling every job with ease, and can also give the corresponding leadership opinions, and Meng Qian is only responsible for nodding.

can only be said to be naturally good at compared to before, her low profile is probably prepared for today's outbreak, and it is also very successful, she catches. Stayed to the point. Meng Qian can't find fault with her work ability, she is a hundred times stronger than her own half-pulled level.

The VR company's press conference is also approaching, and the media and netizens are focused.

The company has heavy news every month, and January is a VR glasses that is ahead of the previous generation, which makes the outside world feel that the opponent's product has not yet been released, and it is already outdated; In February, it brought out a very sci-fi brainwave control, and in the second half of the month, it also launched software to optimize voice equipment.

In March, the word artificial intelligence once again set off a huge wave! Although AI has been commercialized on a small scale, it is only used by large companies and financial institutions, and its intelligence is too far away from ordinary people because it focuses on flexible processing capabilities rather than anthropomorphism and simulation.

In a promotional video of a VR company, VROS has several shots, and its anthropomorphism and intelligent processing have focused countless eyes and asked: Is artificial intelligence beginning to face individual consumers? This question has been accompanied by the countdown to the press conference on the official homepage.

Until today, San Francisco in early April.

In the auditorium of the town hall, visitors from all walks of life gathered, indispensable news media, science and technology magazines; tech companies such as Google and Microsoft; There are also other peers in the industry, VR content and peripheral equipment supply companies; and some of the lucky ones who were drawn.

It took three months to build momentum! It can be described as a global attention. There are countless people who are waiting for the big news from the launch event, and there are also many people who want to see the jokes of VR companies - some people predicted before. Brainwave manipulation and AI are still far away. Just a gimmick.

But no matter what, the VR company's momentum has successfully focused the world's attention. There is a live broadcast on YouTube, and viewers in Europe and the United States can get first-hand information, while in Asia, China, Japan and other countries, it will also be live, even if it is late at night.

Behind the lively scene, Meng Qian was nervously preparing.

He stood in front of the mirror. He silently read his lines in his heart, although he was not the main spokesperson, after all, his language and English eloquence were weak, and he was too lazy to stand on the stage for more than an hour. He is only responsible for one of the cores, artificial intelligence, and no one is more professional in this area than him.

"Open your hands." Wang Manwen helps him put on micro headphones, and someone will remind him of the key points and vocabulary, which is usually not used, but just in case.

"Coat." Wang Manwen picked up his neatly ironed blazer again and helped him tidy it up himself. Very caring and careful, usually she is very busy and has no time to do it.

"Maybe I shouldn't have come to power." Meng Qian said.

"It's not hard for you." Wang Manwen helped him button it up, and said, "You have talked to the leaders of major countries. It's a lot smaller. ”

"You remember my glorious deeds." Meng Qian looked at her, Wang Manwen was dressed in professional clothes today, but she had long legs. It always looks like the skirt is short.

"You're outstanding." She looked up and straightened his collar. "I'll be with you on the weekend after the press conference."

"You actually took the initiative?" Meng Qian wondered if he had heard it wrong? He has always taken the initiative between them. I didn't expect there to be such a scene now.

"Focus on what you're doing." Wang Manwen pushed him away, "It's about to start." ”

……

Meng Qian and Wang Manwen returned to the front row and took their seats.

The lights in the venue dimmed, but the buzzing of conversation could still be heard, the light on the illuminated stage lit up, and the audience's eyes were focused on the stage, accompanied by a soft music, the host of the press conference, a white man, took the stage to make the opening remarks.

The process of the press conference is very ordinary, presumably no one pays attention to people, everyone's curiosity and expectations are on the product, so a quick decision, after the opening remarks, the company's consumer products department CEO Yuan Yubo came to the stage, he immigrated with his parents in the early years, English is very localized, dare to perform.

The big screen behind Yuan Yubo shows the latest design of the company's products - it is more streamlined and lightweight than the last time, and at the same time has higher design requirements - and in this regard, the CEO emphasized that it is the most portable of all the products so far.

"The consumer version of the V1 (glasses), which is the company's final design, is again lighter and can be held in one hand; Multi-group eyepiece technology is more sophisticated; Support line-of-sight adjustment; Support less than 500 degrees of myopia without glasses; Modular design of the contact part, replaceable ......"

Meng Qian in the audience listened quietly, many of the designs in this are "borrowed" from the future, and most of them belong to appearance patents, which are easy to do, otherwise with the staff and operation speed of the VR company, they will not be able to do so many things in the second half of the year, and they will save at least two years.

From appearance to configuration, from configuration to characteristics, high-resolution eyepieces, multi-group combinations, and realistic image quality have already been mentioned earlier, and now presented at the press conference is a confirmation for all media. If you can't do it in the future, you will be slapping yourself in the face.

Yuan Yubo on the stage, confidently confirmed that the company will ensure that consumer products have this kind of high-level display effect, and finally reassure the audience at the scene and before the live broadcast, after all, the difference between concept products and retail products is huge, and this kind of thing is not the first time.

On the webcast, there were many comments about this.

"If I can guarantee this effect, even if it costs eight hundred dollars, I'm willing to buy it!"

"Have you considered the hardware requirements for this display effect?"

"There's going to be a solution, right? Doesn't the company have a cloud services division? It was also tested in the San Francisco Bay Area before, and the results were good. ”

With the increase in audience discussions, on-site media people also continued to summarize the content and various highlights of the press conference in the form of words and pictures...... The company's guarantee of "real materials" makes the audience's enthusiasm and expectation burn and make them more concentrated.

Then Yuan Yubo went in again. into the brainwave manipulation link. There were also people at the scene who showed the process of control, and the content was projected on the display screen. Although it is not certain whether anyone has remote control - this hand has successfully made the audience expected before. Didn't receive the slightest disappointment.

When the Internet and the media discussed these explosive points again, Meng Qian had quietly left his seat and returned to the background.

After Yuan Yubo finally finished controlling the brainwave on the stage, he paused and smiled: "The following link is one of the most distinctive features of our company's products. ”

People have already guessed what it will be: consumer-grade AI.

"Forgive me for not knowing much about this, but I still have the company's chairman, CTO (Chief Technology Officer) David . Mr. Meng took the stage and asked him to explain the application and optimization of the AI system in V1 for us! Yuan Yubo said loudly and took the lead in applauding: "Please Mr. Meng!" ”

The applause at the scene also rang out. Meng Qian, who was tall, took the stage amid applause and lights.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Meng Qian bowed slightly to the audience, "I am honored to introduce and promote this artificial intelligence system to you at this moment. ”

"First of all, I would like to give special thanks to the technical support of the artificial intelligence company."

Meng Qian's voice fell, and the scene began to discuss, AI laboratories are not small in Europe and the United States, that is, they launched and commercialized the first artificial intelligence, and VR companies got its help?

This is a news explosion and proof of strength.

The curiosity in the hearts of the audience is a little more, and there are so many highlights of this press conference!

Meng Qian didn't talk nonsense either. Sideways snapped his fingers: "V, it's your turn to perform!" ”

A large screen connected to the VR glasses shows the screen of the system.

The interface is relatively simple, with only one character. Other than that, there are no icons or anything else that you see on Windows.

"Hello, Mr. Meng! And the gentlemen and ladies on the scene! The AI spoke, and its camera had already captured the scene.

Meng Qian faces the audience. With a slightly serious face, he said: "It is the intelligence of our company's VROS, and it will be in voice-activated + intelligent mode." Upgrade the traditional way of interacting. ”

"I think everyone has doubts about what it does, so please take a look." Meng Qian turned sideways to face the AI camera, "I want you to take a photo of me and everyone on the scene, and calculate the number of spectators in the first row, preferably to distinguish the number of men and women." ”

There were many whispers in the audience, and insiders were well aware of the difficulty of Meng Qian's words for the machine, and he asked the AI to execute three commands, two of which were affirmative, and the last one was acceptable - put it on other programs, such as Siri, it might be messed up.

What's more, the human voice is not programming, how can it identify this pile?

"No problem, Mr. Meng." The AI's calm voice seemed to have a sense of confidence, "Please sir, you step back a bit, because your face takes up a third of the screen." ”

"Wow!" If someone makes such a sound, the AI will also ridicule?

"My bad." Meng Qian smiled and stepped back, "Okay?" ”

"I suggest that sir, it would be more appropriate for you to go offstage." AI says.

"No problem." Meng Qian came directly to Wang Manwen and sat down. Wang Manwen, who was crossed on his heels and had a look on his face, immediately melted the iceberg.

AI elongated voice: "Cheese! ”

A photo of the audience, displayed on the big screen, the AI said: "There are 30 people in the first row, including 11 ladies, am I right?" ”

"You're right." Meng Qian replied in the affirmative, and the audience also opened their eyes, but what about the photo of the first order?

The AI voice continued: "I noticed that the photo is darker, do you need help retouching it?" ”

"Of course."

The scene caused a dense whispering discussion, this conversation is very common between people, but now the machine on the stage!

From letting Meng Qian retreat to clarifying the proportion of his face on the screen, he said it lightly, but the operation behind it and this anthropomorphic tone, can it really be promoted to consumers?

Everyone, both live and live, has this question.

Enterprise-level intelligence has appeared, and there is an experience hall in Las Vegas, but it is too far away from ordinary people after all, and now the VR company is showing that it will be retail-oriented?

"I can't believe it! Looking forward to it so much! Netizens left a message.

"If it can be implemented on VR glasses, I will increase my purchase budget to $1,500!" This message was said by a trench.

"AI for ordinary people? Looks like I'm going to have to save my money seriously. "This one is not so trenched, but it also shows an iron-clad expectation for glasses. (To be continued.) )
