Chapter 170: Press Conference
Seeing Chen Peng and Vanessa's faces beaming, Dr. Moseley continued to speak proudly.
"The emergence of the more important Phantom series of technologies has enabled us to have the core of a system, and we were able to build a complete ecosystem at once, including not only software, but also hardware, combining into our unique core competitiveness, and in this regard, Chen's foresight played the most important role and laid the foundation for this system very early."
"Like an apple?" Vanessa asked.
"That's right, and it's a step further. Whispering headsets, sage controllers, stormtrooping platforms, developer-oriented content compiler versions, and so on, this is undoubtedly the whole ecosystem model that includes software and hardware, and games and everything else are part of it, and in this respect, we are more than a step ahead of our competitors. Chen Peng continued. At the beginning, he only had a vague idea when he created "Balranta World", which was more to prevent possible piracy and other problems, but with the launch of various new products, he found that the idea became clearer and clearer, and it was completely towards a self-sufficient ecosystem, and the launch of the Phantom World connected everything in the past, forming the prototype of a huge virtual kingdom.
"Very good." Vanessa applauded, "Leon, I'm proud of you." ”
"Thank you." Chen Peng and Vanessa hugged, "However, there are still some problems in this ecosystem, such as the lack of content that can be provided now, and the main reason is that the digital content we provide is somewhat different from the current mainstream digital formats, and it is impossible to achieve seamless connection." For example, the various scenes tested today are either specially compiled by us, or the test scenes in "Castle Heart", which makes us temporarily have a big flaw in the richness of the content provided. Therefore, the developer version of the compiler should be promoted as soon as possible to attract more developers to participate. ”
"Well, I also know this, this time Britney (Zhang Danmiao's English name) has already touched on this aspect when she went to the field of thinking to negotiate cooperation, and then we will have more in-depth cooperation through cross-shareholding, and the stormtroop platform and content compiler will be independent. Become an independent company in which we are both jointly controlled in order to better promote and develop. Vanessa said.
"I'm sure you'll do a good job of that." Chen Peng nodded and continued: "The other is the technical aspect. Although our technology is very advanced, it is not insurmountable, and those competitors can also narrow the distance between us by continuing to develop technologies such as picture enhancement and virtual enhancement, and within a certain gap, in fact, the real sensory experience of consumers is not much worse. ”
"I feel the same way about what Chen said." Dr. Moseley agreed.
"And what do you mean?" Vanessa looked at Chen Peng suspiciously.
"We will continue to strengthen the authentic experience that our system can bring to consumers, and this time the focus should not be on the picture aspect, but on the shortest board of this barrel - perceptual feedback."
"Perceptual feedback?"
"We are now in this virtual world where consumers can have the primary perception of sight and hearing. But the deeper senses of touch, smell, and taste are not enough, which actually forms a big flaw, making it easy for consumers to detach themselves from the realism of the virtual scene. As I had just experienced in the test, I was blown away by the extremely realistic graphics and sound effects as soon as I entered, but I soon realized that it was all fake, because I couldn't smell the exhaust fumes from the driving car except for the pictures and sounds. You can't feel the moisture of the river, and you can't taste the mellow aroma of the wine. This is obviously telling me that everything in front of me is fake. Chen Peng said.
"You mean we need to add the effects of a device like a 4D theater?"
Vanessa's 4D cinema equipment is those things that will shake the seats when the movie is shown, the surrounding air holes will spew smoke, and sometimes even spray some water mist and the like to increase the viewer's experience, so that the viewer can get a full range of experiences such as sight, hearing, touch, and smell.
However, if these things are to be integrated into exclusive equipment for individual consumers, it is not impossible, but the problem is that the cost is difficult to control. It's like the arcade mod used in the original version of Charge. It has done a good job in somatosensory feedback, but it can't be promoted on a large scale because of the high cost.
"Those are good, but not what I want." Chen Peng shook his head, "I hope to find a more convenient way to perceive feedback, such as through bioelectricity, electromagnetic waves, ......."
Dr. Moseley, who had been in a state of reflection since Chen Peng mentioned his shortcomings, suddenly interjected and said, "I do know of a company with similar technology. ”
"Doctor, you know there's such a technique?" Chen Peng looked at Dr. Moseley strangely.
You must know that what he just said is actually to pave the way for future technology research and development. In fact, he has already found a technology that stimulates the brain through bioelectricity to make users feel false through the technology of the Eris people. But unlike the Phantom World, although the Phantom World is very advanced, the real world has long had a similar prototype and technical reserves, making the appearance of the Phantom World amazing, but it does not make people feel unimaginable. But this kind of bioelectric simulation of false sensation technology is not similar in the world as far as Chen Peng knows, if it appears all at once, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the outside world, so he needs to persuade others step by step, invest in research and finally get the results of the three steps to make the appearance of this technology reasonable, but he didn't expect that he only took the first step, and as a result, Dr. Moseley came directly You don't have to rub it in, this technology has already been figured out, which makes him feel like he is punching the air with all his strength.
"Well, I think it should be similar to what you asked for." Dr. Moseley thought for a moment and continued: "It was a French company, and it was years ago. At that time, I was working on a project for a world-famous magician on behalf of Hyster, which was a kind of visual deception, and that company was also hired by magicians, and what they did was to use a weak and non-damaging electric current to create a false illusion for the audience participating in the magic trick, so as to cooperate with our visual effects to complete a large-scale magic trick, I remember that the company should be called Luo...... Luo ...... By the way, it's Rocky Natural Medicine. ”
"Okay, I see, I'm going to contact this company next to see if I can license this technology or get it through other means." Vanessa concluded, "But that's later, now I'm going to hold a special press conference to build momentum for our products to enter the market, which requires the first batch of about a hundred or so Phantom glasses, doctor, how long will it take for the lab to be ready?" ”
"A maximum of one week to complete." Dr. Moseley did the math and gave a conclusion.
"Well, then I'm going to trouble you, Doctor." Vanessa nodded with satisfaction, "If there are no accidents, Phantom World Glasses will soon need to officially enter large-scale production, which requires the cooperation of your laboratory, Doctor." ”
"That's fine, I've got the relevant materials ready and ready to start."
"Very good, the next thing is my business, this time, the reputation of our Transwarp Technology will be completely famous on this planet......"
……
A week later, the press conference, which was fully prepared, took place as scheduled.
"President, it's time." There was a knock on the office door and the female secretary came in to inform her of the upcoming press conference.
"Okay, let's go right away." Vanessa put down the documents in her hand, looked at Chen Peng, who was leisurely playing with her mobile phone on the other side, and said helplessly: "Let's go, don't mess up." ”
"Don't worry, don't you know me yet?" Chen Peng put the phone back in his pocket, smiled absently, and then got up from his seat and stretched out his hand to Vanessa.
Vanessa showed a doting smile on her face, took Chen Peng's hand and stood up, put on the small blazer on the back of the chair, and then walked out side by side with Chen Peng.
Vanessa attended the press conference as CEO, while Peng Chen attended as the chief technical architecture engineer to take charge of technical issues.
When it comes to press conferences, it's usually a privilege reserved for the bigger names because they're the only ones who have enough hot spots to attract journalists. Otherwise, if a random company says that there will be a press conference, the reporters who come will have two or three kittens or none at all, first of all, they will not be able to pass on their faces, and secondly, the effect of this kind of press conference is equal to nothing, and it is a waste of money.
From this point of view, Transwarp's fame has entered the ranks of big names, which is mainly because the shock brought by the first appearance of the phantom world half a year ago is still unstoppable, and Vanessa's actions during this period are also constant, and from time to time there is a hot news that can attract attention, such as cooperating with Hollywood stars to enter the game industry, which makes many reporters still buy Transwarp's press conference now.
When Chen Peng and Vanessa walked into the press conference, unlike Chen Peng, who lived in seclusion, Vanessa, who was often exposed to the spotlight, was already acquaintances with these media workers, and several reporters greeted Vanessa warmly on the road in just a few steps, and it didn't end until the two walked up to the rostrum.
After the press officer announced the official start of the press conference, Vanessa spoke directly and confidently.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's press conference is to announce a very important event for Transwarp, for the entire entertainment industry, and for the entire social system, which will be a major subversion of the virtual industry! Now, this subversive product is in my hands, please take a closer look, this is the first product of our company's Phantom World series Phantom World Glasses 1.0 is officially launched," Vanessa held a Phantom World Glasses in her right hand and showed it in front of reporters.
Many reporters were originally relaxed, but when they heard the news and saw the real thing, they were shocked, and they were silent for a while, and after a while, the magnesium lights flashed like waves, as if they were going to submerge the rostrum. (To be continued......)
