Chapter 169: Cost

Breaking away from the crowd, Chen Peng came to a tavern and walked in, and the strong and lively atmosphere suddenly greeted him.

The first thing that jumped into Chen Peng's eyes was a dozen neatly arranged black wood long tables, the carefully decorated fireplace was on the left - the weather was not needed now, just as a decoration, and on the far right was a stone and wood staircase connecting the upper and lower floors, and the space below the staircase was placed a wooden pedestal, and then extended out with the bar, which belonged to the tavern owner to take care of his business, and on the wall behind him were several wine racks made of wooden planks, on which all kinds of fine wines were displayed. There is this peculiar law contained in it.

There are already a lot of people in the tavern now, and most of the tables have owners, Chen Peng looked left and right, and then walked directly to the bar, found a seat and sat down - saying that he was sitting, in fact, he gave the order to sit down, and he himself couldn't feel the touch of the seat or anything like that - this was undoubtedly a big regret or a flaw.

The tavern owner recognized him as a lord at a glance, and very warmly recommended some good wines, Chen Peng casually chose a little and drank it before ending the visit, leaving the tavern and heading towards the pasture outside the town.

Coming to the pasture, which is no different from the prairie, an indescribable sense of grandeur arises.

The bright sun shines on the grassland, warm the endless wilderness, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the wind is refreshing, the lush pasture grass is shining in the sun, the melodious and cheerful birdsong echoes in the ears, and the whole ups and downs of the prairie under the blue sky and white clouds do not stop exuding the breath of nature.

Chen Peng didn't expect that there would be such a big shock when the picture in the game was presented in front of him, but when he saw this, he could be sure that even if there was no other game content, this scene would attract countless players to invest in it.

Sigh Rhythm ......

At this moment, a sound similar to the barking of a horse was heard, and a strong wind blew. The grass was low, revealing a group of unicorns galloping by, their white manes shining in the sunlight, and the unicorns above their heads were filled with a halo of colorful light.

Chen Peng flicked his fingers, and a virtual interface similar to a keyboard and various drag-and-drop menus appeared in front of him, and he selected it in the menu. The interface quickly changed to resemble a "Charge" horse, and then a unicorn broke away from the group and came to him, rubbed his head and his face affectionately, then let him ride on his back and began to gallop with his hooves raised......

……

When Chen Peng returned to the real laboratory again, what he saw was a group of people around him who forced back their smiles and tried to pretend to be serious, which looked like they were constipated, and they immediately understood that their bodies in reality might have made some funny movements when they were playing virtual games.

Smiling self-deprecatingly, Chen Peng's gaze swept through the crowd. Dr. Moseley was soon found, and it was then that Vanessa had arrived at the lab at some point, standing next to Dr. Moseley, smiling and looking at him.

"When did you come?" Chen Peng asked with a smile.

"It won't be long, it's less than ten minutes." Vanessa stepped forward to straighten out his somewhat messy collar, "Seeing you like this, I don't need to ask me to know that our new product must be very successful." ”

"That's true." Chen Peng took off the controller and handed it to the researcher on the side. "But you'd better try it too, otherwise it's a bit hard to really judge the value of the product. Let's let the doctor give you a general introduction. ”

"Well, that's what I think about too. Dr. Moseley, I wonder what the selling point of this product is? How much does it cost? What about the quality? What are the advantages compared with other similar products? Will it be a seller? ”

Vanessa's questions directly hit the nail on the head of this new high-tech product, which is also the difference between her and Chen Peng's thinking direction.

Chen Peng sees himself more as a developer, a player, and an experiencer, so his focus is on the technical aspects and how good the experience can be for users; Vanessa, on the other hand, looks at this new product from the perspective of a business operator, and the first thing to think about is whether and how much money it can sell.

For Vanessa's question. Dr. Moseley is very confident, as a perennial front-line laboratory manager, his thinking is not all that of a researcher, and he will also consider one or two aspects of management, so he has been prepared for Vanessa's questions.

"Ms. Rossi. First of all, we have made a big breakthrough in technology. Originally, visual augmentation technology and virtual reality technology have been regarded as the next era of innovative technology, which will further change the system of our society, so all major companies interested in this area have invested considerable energy in these technologies, and some of the developed products have been put into use, but the effect is still far from imagining.

It turns out that Hyster has the same technical reserves, but it does not have an advantage compared to those peers, but the difference is also very limited, and everyone is almost on the same level. Now with the Phantom series technology provided by Chen, although we have not fully tapped the potential, but using the quark compression projection technology, the holographic image projection is directly projected into the user's pupil through this glasses, so as to achieve the effect of deception vision, and at the same time, through the micro-guided wave light coordination technology, even if it is used for a long time, it will not damage the user's eyesight, it can be said that the realism and comfort completely surpass the visual enhancement and virtual reality technology used by all similar products. Even more advanced than similar military-grade technology, our advantage in this area can be said to be very huge. ”

"Well, that's a big selling point indeed."

"In addition, our Phantom World glasses basically solve the problem of civilianization, that is to say, except for one or two accessories that need to be specially produced, the rest can be completely used from the accessories purchased from the market to assemble a complete pair of Phantom World glasses, without the need for a company to carry out specialized production, so as to achieve the effect of reducing costs."

Hearing this, Vanessa was immediately moved: "What is the cost now?" ”

"The limit cost that we have tried so far is $373, and the main thing is that the price of those specially produced laboratory accessories affects the actual price, and if it is mass produced, there is still some room for the cost to be reduced, and I expect it to be possible to drop below $300."

Chen Peng and Vanessa's eyes lit up immediately when they heard this. You must know that other companies that produce similar wearable display products have a difficult cost to control even below $1,000, and defective products like Google Glass, which they are embarrassed to continue selling, are sold for $1,500, which is obviously difficult for the general public to bear.

But now, according to Dr. Moseley's words, the actual selling price of Phantom World glasses can be completely controlled at the level of four or five hundred dollars, which is completely affordable in the field of electronic products.

In other words, the biggest obstacle to the comprehensive promotion and popularization of Phantom World glasses to forcibly occupy the world market share no longer exists. (To be continued......)
