. The initial cost budget of the VR game headset is 2000 yuan, although the cost is cheap, but the black-hearted Shi Lei, how can it be possible to make the official price cheaper?

You don't see how much huge profits the frenzied Apple has made!

Taking Apple's iPhone4s smartphone as an example, the price in the Xia region after its first release was as high as more than 5,000 yuan, but how much does it really cost?

According to the dismantling of a third-party organization in Britain, its cost price is only about 1,150 yuan equivalent to Xia Guoyuan! The price in Britain is equivalent to almost 5,000 yuan in Xia Guoyuan.

Facts have proved that it is precisely because of these huge profits that Apple has soared to the top of the world's top 500 companies. If there are no such huge profits, why would Apple be on top? And on what basis do you get huge profits?

Products that should be profitable, must be profitable, otherwise it is a waste!

Compared with the cost of the LIP lens information processor, the VR game headset is indeed much cheaper, but the cheap cost does not mean that the selling price is lower.

The reduction of cost price means more windfall profits!

As long as the production capacity of the Lin'an underground base can keep up, Shi Lei is fully sure that he will ensure the sales of VR game headsets. Because, the VR game headset can improve the game body feeling most intuitively, and really let players feel the more realistic game experience brought by the VR game headset.

Dong Guoguo considered the production line of the Lin'an underground base and the related supporting equipment, and said uncertainly: "Boss, since we don't actually produce VR game headsets, it's just a design idea, after my estimates." According to the situation of the Lin'an underground base, our monthly production capacity can reach about 300,000 units. ”

"300,000 units?" Shi Lei was slightly dissatisfied, and the production line of the Lin'an underground base has been upgraded. Originally, the production line of the Lin'an underground base completely adopted manual production, and the problem of labor was solved by employing relevant personnel from the Rongcheng Military Region.

Now it is upgrading and transforming the automated production line, borrowing the super manual logic of Yishuer. Write an automatic industrial control program and use a robotic arm for processing, retaining only a small amount of manual labor.

Without the participation of Yishuer, how could it be possible to have a monthly production capacity of 300,000 VR game headsets just for the Lin'an underground base?

"Yes. Preliminary estimates are so. Dong Guoguo didn't say anything to death, "Boss." Another reason to limit our production capacity. It's also because we need to outsource matching parts. For example, helmets and helmet-related cushioning materials, lithium batteries, etc., these equipment need to be purchased by us. ”

Shi Lei sighed, "Lao Dong, first make the prototype of the VR game headset, I need an actual sample." And then decide what happens after that! ”

"Yes! No problem! Boss, this matter will only take three days at most! Dong Guoguo packed the ticket and said that the research and development foundation of the LIP lens information processor is in front. Isn't it easy to design and manufacture a VR gaming headset?

"By the way, Lao Dong, the design scheme of the VR game helmet must reduce the weight of the helmet as much as possible, and ensure the wearing comfort of the helmet, you can refer to the scheme of the motorcycle helmet. However, this kind of fully enclosed helmet must pay attention to the internal temperature problem, and try to design a temperature adjustment device to facilitate the player to adjust the temperature. Shi Lei said an important design requirement.

In later generations, a large number of VR virtual reality series products, the biggest drawback is the problem of user comfort. Including Sony's HMZ series head-mounted displays, although they are very powerful, there has been no way to solve the problem of wearing comfort.

Using a motorcycle helmet as a prototype solution, although the problem of wearing comfort can be solved, the most important problem is the temperature problem. If you wear a sealed helmet, it's like a sauna, and no matter how good the display is, the player won't last long!

"Yes, I see!" Dong Guoguo responded.

"Lao Dong, whether it is a LIP lens information processor or a VR game headset, you have to make it, and you have finished processing it, and I will come to test it myself." Shi Lei must participate in the testing of these two products, these two products are related to huge interests, and they are benefits that can be realized in a short time, and Shi Lei should not be careless.

"Great, we'll have a prototype in three days at the latest!" Dong Guoguo promised.

Shi Lei hung up the phone with satisfaction, Tao Wenxian looked at Shi Lei and hung up the phone, and shouted: "Brother Shi, come over and eat some, I'm almost finished eating!" ”

The barbecue and braised vegetables on the coffee table were really a lot less, and Tao Wenxian, a foodie, actually drank two more bottles of beer, but he was not drunk at all.

"Jazz, you eat first, I still have something to deal with!" Shi Lei was not busy eating, but continued to use his mobile phone, looked through the address book, and found the president of AMD, Dirk. Mayer's phone.

After AMD was acquired by Miray Technology Group, it was reorganized. Mayer remains the CEO of AMD and owns 3 percent of the company's shares.

After waiting for a moment, the phone was connected, and Dirk. Mayer said in an enthusiastic tone: "Good afternoon, my friend! ”

"My friend, it's the middle of the night on my side!" Shi Lei said with cold humor, "Old Dirk, I have one thing that I need your help with!" ”

"Oh, my friend, please call me young Dirk!" Dirk. Mayer also joked according to Dirk. The age gap between Mayer and Shi Lei, Shi Lei calls him Old Dirk, which is completely very appropriate.

"Old Dirk, how is the progress of the personal game server you developed?" Shi Lei ignored Dirk's request and asked directly.

I heard Shi Lei talk about things at work, Dirk. Mayer immediately became serious, "Regarding the issue of personal game servers, we have been prepared for a long time. The second-generation personal game server we developed completely surpassed the first-generation game server in terms of performance, and the power consumption was also reduced a lot, and the cost and price were also reduced a lot! When the time comes, we can lower the selling price and entice players to buy the second generation of personal game servers! ”

The price of the first generation of personal game servers is not cheap, and the three grades of personal game servers cost $1,999 for the lowest grade and $17,999 for the highest grade.

This ultra-high price has made Intel earn enough tickets!

Shi Lei has no intention of reducing the price of personal game servers at all, Intel has made a lot of money with the first generation of personal game servers, how can Shi Lei reduce the price of personal game servers?

It is precisely because Intel has made a lot of money with his personal game server that Shi Lei urgently acquired AMD and is ready to make this money himself!

Without Dream Entertainment, AMD would have preferred to compete with Intel and NVIDIA in the form of price reductions. In this way, although it hits the rival company, it hurts its own customers more.

Think about it, the graphics card produced by AMD was originally priced at 4,000 yuan, but because it wanted to compete with nvidia's products, it suddenly reduced the price by 2,000 yuan. Although this kind of behavior can indeed suppress nvidia, how ironic is it for customers who bought AMD products for 4,000 yuan before?

"Old Dirk, in terms of the performance of the second-generation personal game server, I want to surpass the first-generation personal game server by more than 50%! I believe that AMD has that kind of strength, right? Shi Lei directly put forward not too harsh requirements.

Dirk. Mayer thought about it for a moment and replied affirmatively: "No problem! ”

"Old Dirk, I have another question, is there a way for us AMD to overcome the latency problem of wireless display technology?" Shi Lei asked.

Another challenge for VR gaming headsets is how to connect with personal game servers.

If you use a VR game headset to log in directly to the brave world, with the pitiful computing performance of the VR game headset, I am afraid that the game screen and game performance will be miserable.

Only by connecting a VR gaming headset to a personal game server can you get a satisfactory game image and game performance. However, wireless display technology is very tricky, and the latency problem is not easy to solve.

Dirk. Mayer gave a negative answer, "AMD does not have a relevant solution, but we can get a good solution by cooperating with other manufacturers for wireless display technology solutions." ”

At present, there are two main solutions for wireless display technology.

One of the solutions is to transmit video data, which is a very crude solution, directly at the video sender, compress the video stream data, transmit the data through WIFI or UWB technology, and then decompress the data at the receiving end to restore the image of the video stream.

This scheme is currently the mainstream scheme, with low cost and basically no technical difficulty. However, there are significant drawbacks to this technique, which inevitably takes time due to the workflow of compressing, transferring, decompressing, and restoring images. Therefore, the delay of this wireless display technology cannot be effectively solved.

Another option is to stream the video directly. Just like a wired connection, the video stream is delivered directly through the wireless channel without the need for compression and decompression, which fundamentally solves the problem of video latency.

However, the difficulty of using this technique is very high, and the bandwidth occupied by the video stream is very large, and the only successful technique is the WHDI technique.

"Do you want to work with other vendors?" Shi Lei thought about it.
