0044: Designing smart watches
After learning that holographic glasses had a problem with wireless transmission, Lin Chen not only used his brains to figure out the solution, but also pulled Amu to think of a solution.
The central processing unit (CPU) and wireless communication module used in this pair of holographic glasses are components that have been removed from Google Glass.
Although they are all available on the market now, and the performance is considered to be the top miniature components, they are still not enough to support the normal wielding of holographic glasses.
This is just like everyone playing a large online game on the computer, whether the picture quality of the game is good or not, and whether it is smooth to play, does not only depend on the size of the computer's monitor, or whether the keyboard and mouse are sensitive and easy to use.
It also depends on whether the performance of the CPU, graphics card, memory and other hardware on the computer meets the requirements for the operation of the game, as well as whether the system software is running normally, whether there are viruses and Trojans, whether the network is fast enough and other related factors.
If the graphics card responsible for processing the picture is too poor, or the network is too slow, then even if you use a 100-inch high-definition monitor with a tyrant version of the keyboard and mouse for tens of thousands of dollars, it will only be abused.
Because of the performance of a computer, how effective it is to play the game is a systematic problem, and only by meeting the basic requirements of each link can you play smoothly and heartily.
In the same way, to make holographic glasses realize holographic projection and powerful functions such as night vision, perspective and thermal imaging, it is not just a matter of attaching a few special lenses such as micro laser projection lenses and micro dot matrix infrared camera lenses to the glasses.
It is also necessary to have a set of software and hardware systems with sufficient performance to support the work of these special lenses, process the images captured by various lenses, and then use the projection lens to project the processed picture to the front of the glasses, so that the person wearing holographic glasses can see the corresponding scene.
It's just that when Lin Chen and Amu designed this pair of holographic glasses, they paid attention to the concealment when using the glasses, so he deliberately chose a pair of ordinary radiation glasses to make the appearance model of the holographic glasses.
Plus they can't find accessories that are smaller and better performing than the chip components inside Google Glass.
That's why I came up with this kind of compromise method of using a laptop to provide background support for holographic glasses.
However, this leads to the problem that wireless transmission data is susceptible to environmental interference and signal range limitations.
When he goes out, he can't always bring his notebook with him, how inconvenient it is.
Fortunately, this problem was not too difficult, and it didn't take long for Lin Chen and Amu to think of a solution.
"According to the analysis of the various numbers collected during the test just now, it takes about 65% of the system resources to use the current laptop for the holographic glasses to provide full background support......"
"If you use the previously assembled smartphone to provide background support for the holographic glasses, you can only maintain the holographic glasses while using two of the three functions of infrared night vision, X-ray fluoroscopy, and thermal imaging, in addition to holographic projection."
"And if you use your new phone to provide information for holographic glasses, you can barely use one of the three vision modes: infrared night vision, X-ray fluoroscopy, and thermal imaging."
After reading the analysis report of Amu in front of him, Lin Chen immediately understood that Amu was able to reduce the function of using holographic glasses at the same time, reduce the workload of processing information, reduce the performance requirements of background support equipment, and use a mobile phone with insufficient performance but easy to carry instead of a laptop to support holographic glasses in the background.
It feels like it took a long day to download a Blu-ray blockbuster, but because the computer is too scummy to play the Blu-ray format, it can only lower the standard to watch the blurry Ts gun version on the Internet, which makes people feel aggrieved and uncomfortable.
Although the plan that Amu came up with could solve the immediate problem very practically, Lin Chen felt that this solution was too uncreative and completely inconsistent with his style.
How could Lin Chen tolerate that he had spent so much effort to finally come up with such a powerful pair of holographic glasses, how could he achieve the purpose of barely using them at the expense of using the function?
"Amu, this method you proposed can only be regarded as a temporary solution. Until we have a better solution, it's okay to use it for the time being, but it's definitely not a long-term solution. ”
Lin Chen first commented objectively, and then put forward the solution he thought of, tailoring a portable device with powerful enough performance for holographic glasses.
And since he saw Wang Ziqiang looking at the smartphone he assembled himself with surprise two days ago, he had already begun to think about remodifying the smartphone in his heart.
In the past two days, when he went out on the street, he was mindfully observing the various electronic products used by pedestrians on the street, and now in addition to the commonly used mobile phones, many people are wearing smart watches on their wrists.
At that time, he had the idea of converting a smartphone into a smart watch, and now on this basis, he is thinking about how to improve the performance of the smart watch to a level that is enough to support the full function of the holographic glasses, and is specifically responsible for providing background support for the holographic glasses.
This can well solve the background support problem of holographic glasses, and it is easy to carry and use, and it will not attract too much attention from others, and the effect should be very good.
However, according to Amu's analysis report just now, the chip used in the smartphone he assembled can only maintain holographic glasses at the same time, except for holographic projection, infrared night vision, X-ray perspective and thermal imaging, two of the three functions, which cannot meet the requirements of full function.
So Lin Chen immediately asked Amu to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the most advanced electronic products such as tablets, smartphones, and smart watches on the market, and wanted to find some suitable chip components for the smart watch he was going to modify.
With Lin Chen's instructions, a shabby office turned into Iron Man's level studio in an instant, and rows of holographic projections of tablets, smartphones, and smart watches quickly appeared in front of him, and a large number of detailed numbers were floating next to him.
Having already seen the magical scene of holographic projection, Lin Chen did not show any surprised reaction this time, but focused on screening these smart watches.
Soon he realized that the functions of these smart watches on the market were as simple as children's toys, and the chips used in them were simply miserable in terms of performance, and they could not meet his requirements.
So he decided that he only needed to find a large smartwatch and use its shell to camouflage. As for the chip components used in it, he had to find a way to find it from other places.
"Amu, use this smart watch as a shell." Lin Chen raised his hand, and on a silver-white Motorola smart watch floating in front of him, he lightly clicked on it, and determined the appearance of the smart watch.
Immediately, the other smart watches floating in front of Lin Chen disappeared in an instant, leaving only the Motorola smart watch he chose.
Lin Chen then selected several processor chips and other main components that can be installed in smart watches from several chips with higher performance and smaller volume that Amu compared and analyzed.
Amu continued to combine and match the various chip components screened by Lin Chen, trying to find the best configuration scheme......
After a while, a piece with three processor chips inside, but the shell was the design of a Motorola-level smart watch, was displayed in front of Lin Chen's eyes.
After Amu's simulation tests and repeated calculations, this smart watch assembled with the processor chips of three smartphones can not only perfectly support the full function of holographic glasses, but also meet the basic needs of Amu to run its core system on it.
"Haha, that looks good." Lin Chen carefully looked at the "level freak" with three hearts in front of him, and laughed excitedly, his face full of meaning.
He believed that no one could have found such a small piece of watch that could be comparable to the processing power of a laptop without opening the smartwatch and studying it carefully.
"Amu, open the micro that contacted Pang Fatzi last time. Wide. As Lin Chen spoke, he raised his hands and waved and grabbed them in the air a few times, dancing like a nervous patient catching flies in the air.
After he processed the data floating in front of him to distinguish the alternatives, removed all the obsolete components, and set the useful information to a storage state, there was only one circuit design diagram in front of him, which was an eight-layer high-density thin three-dimensional flexible circuit board with complex circuits......
