Pei Qian nodded: "Well, you're right, you really need to redesign the entire VR experience area." ”

In this way, the main unit is still all placed on the shelf overhead, and the power button is led down through a wire. Then the entire VR experience area is made into a compartment style, the display screen is hung on the partition in front of it, and below is a foldable table with a stand on the table board and a keyboard and mouse. ”

"The table is designed to be the right height for standing."

"The VR headset and controller are hung on the partitions on both sides for easy access."

In this way, the table can be formed in two forms: flat or wall-mounted.

When players use it, the default is flat, and they can operate the keyboard and mouse to find games on the computer and enter VR mode. After that, you can stick the table against the wall to make room for the game.

Because the keyboard and mouse are held in place by a small stand on the table, as long as you put the mouse in the stand and get stuck before putting it down, there will be no embarrassment of hanging in the air.

Let's just say that if players like to play computer games standing up, then play it.

Pei Qian felt that this kind of player should be in the minority.

Xiao Peng nodded: "Okay, then I'll arrange it according to this method." ”

"But...... Mr. Pei, have you ever thought about a question? Now that the Touching Fish Internet Cafe is already a bit overcrowded, if half of the computers in the Touching Fish Internet Café 1.0 are removed and replaced with VR, wouldn't it further aggravate this crowded situation? ”

"Then I'll have to open more branches."

The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly, good boy, is this a threat to me?

What's the matter, you're great at opening more branches?

It's as if you won't open a branch if I don't change this VR game area, how fresh!

Now that branch has been opened like a dumpling, it's open anyway, and changing the VR experience area can make the revenue of all stores drop a lot, and I don't lose anything.

Pei Qian waved his hand: "Just open it, I told you a long time ago that the matter of opening a branch is not limited to you, how to open how you like." ”

Xiao Peng nodded happily: "Understood, Mr. Pei!" Then I'll start preparing. ”

"It's not a small project to do a VR experience area, and it can't be done in a day or two, after all, you have to do cubicles, purchase equipment, and so on."

"I plan to renovate it batch by batch, just before I said that I would ask Liang Qingfan to help redesign the Internet café, but I haven't found a good time, so I can take this opportunity to complete it together!"

"Although the cost of such a change is not small, I believe that when the time comes, the fishing Internet café will definitely have a new look and a new high in turnover!"

Pei Qian expressed hehe in his heart, and denied Xiao Peng's last sentence several times.

A new look can be considered, but it is better to reduce the turnover.

……

Shortly after Pei Qian left Chi Xing's studio.

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin came to the conference room and held a meeting with Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong, the current chief designer of Chi Xing's studio, to study some design details of "Animal Island".

Lin Wan took a few documents from the side, rummaged through them, picked out one of them, and then asked the assistant to make copies.

Soon after, the information was sent to everyone.

Each of these materials is a design plan for new VR glasses, and the one picked out by Lin Wan is the final plan.

Lin Wan said: "Mr. Pei has already made a decision just now, Tengda and Shenhua will each add 10 million investments, that is to say, the research fund for this VR glasses has reached 40 million." ”

"Therefore, the design scheme of VR glasses can almost be finalized, and the most expensive version will be used."

Ye Zhizhou, Wang Xiaobin and Cai Jiadong all picked up this information and read it carefully again.

There were a lot of ideas on Lao Song's side before, and according to the difference in R&D funds and final selling prices, they were sorted out into several versions of the plan.

One of the most satisfying editions was temporarily shelved due to insufficient R&D funding, and now that the funds are in place, there is no need to hesitate.

Lin Wan introduced: "This VR glasses will use an all-in-one machine + wireless/wired streaming + binocular head 6DoF positioning system scheme, the lens is 4K resolution, the highest 120hz refresh rate, 125 degrees of field of view, 5000mAh battery can be used for continuous gaming for 2 and a half hours ......"

Although there are not many VR devices at present, and most of them are abroad, there has been obvious polarization in the development direction of VR glasses.

One is a pure VR headset that must be connected to a computer and used with a positioning base station, while the other is a VR all-in-one machine with a built-in chip that can be used alone.

Both approaches have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Relatively speaking, pure VR headsets will inevitably have a better experience, higher prices, and lighter, for example, a certain VR glasses with 8K as a gimmick in Pei Qian's memory have achieved a 200-degree field of view and a resolution of up to 8K, compared with the screen parameters of many VR all-in-one machines, which are completely crushed.

But the VR all-in-one machine also has its meaning of existence, because it has more use scenarios.

The VR headset must be used with a high-end computer, and it must be wired for connection, which means that it cannot watch VR movies independently, cannot be too far away from the console, and the relatively high price makes most gamers have little desire to buy.

The VR all-in-one will be relatively heavier because it has a chip and a large battery, but it can be more flexible without wiring. Moreover, it can have built-in programs, and you can play some VR games with relatively low configuration without a computer, similar to this level of mobile games.

If you want to play large-scale computer games, VR all-in-one can be solved by wireless or wired streaming.

This is actually the strength of Shenhua Group.

It is precisely because he is very confident in the wired and wireless streaming technology of this glasses that Lao Song prefers to use the all-in-one solution.

In fact, each of these specific parameters was finalized by Lao Song after repeated thinking.

The binocular head 6DoF positioning system used by the all-in-one machine simply means that there is no need to locate the base station, but there are two cameras in front of the glasses to shoot the real environment and locate according to the captured picture.

Although the accuracy will be slightly worse than that of the base station, the difference is not obvious, and the average player will not feel it.

Moreover, these two cameras have a special use. When the player leaves the safe zone, or in some special cases, the glasses will no longer show the game footage, but will instead show the real footage captured by the camera.

It's just that this picture is relatively blurry, just like the picture seen by myopic patients of three or four hundred degrees.

And another key parameter is the quality of the screen.

The resolution of VR glasses directly determines the player's experience, the first generation of VR glasses are all with 2K resolution, but 2K resolution is obviously not enough, it must be up to 4K.

In fact, even 4K cannot completely eliminate the rasterization effect of VR, but the price to pay for increasing the resolution is too great, and it is difficult to achieve with the current level of technology.

In order to get the best gaming experience, a 120Hz refresh rate is also a must, if it is only 60Hz, it will actually have some stuttering feelings, and you can't get the smoothest gaming experience.

If the main function is to watch movies, 60Hz is enough, but if you want to play games, you must use 120Hz.

The field of view is the viewing angle of the VR glasses, and if it is small, the player will feel like they are looking through the crack in the door, which is more cramped.

However, the viewing angle cannot be unlimited, because the larger the viewing angle means the larger the lens, and the larger the lens, not only the cost is higher, but the original resolution will also be stretched.

For example, a 100-degree field of view can maintain 4K, but if you pull it to a 200-degree field of view, the resolution may only be 2K.

The overlapping field of view of the human eye is 124 degrees, the range of vision when concentrating is 25 degrees, and the horizontal viewing angle of both eyes can reach up to 188 degrees.

In other words, after the VR glasses achieve a 200-degree field of view, it will bring players an ultimate sense of immersion, and there will be no black borders in the field of vision.

But this is too extravagant to be adopted at this stage.

Lao Song set the field of view angle at 125 degrees, which is in line with the normal overlapping field of view of the eyes, although the corner of the eye will still catch a glimpse of some black borders, but there is no longer that cramped, looking through the crack in the door.

And such a screen quality coupled with the chip of the all-in-one computer will obviously greatly increase its energy consumption, and the 5000mAh battery is only enough to play for 2 and a half hours.

This battery life is actually quite appropriate, because VR games are different from computer games, the sense of immersion is too strong, and you will get dizzy and tired after playing too much, and it is actually more reasonable to take a break for two hours to play.

Of course, if you connect to the line, you can play while charging, so there is no time limit, but the action will not be very convenient.

This battery is not small, so it is necessary to adopt a rear-mounted design scheme to balance the weight of the entire glasses, that is, the battery part is pressed against the back of the player's head.

As a result, the price of this VR glasses is set at the price of 4599.

is still beyond everyone's psychological bottom line.

In fact, at the beginning, everyone wanted to control the price at a price of about 3,000 yuan, so that the price is more affordable to consumers and more conducive to the popularization of equipment.

But there is no way, many parameters cannot be lowered if they are added, and the price will naturally not be reduced.

Everyone read the information carefully and basically knew it by heart.

Because the specific parameters of this VR glasses will affect some things in the game.

Game design can be described as a "shackled" art, because in all eras of the game's inception, its content has been limited by hardware parameters.

And how to do the best possible under limited hardware conditions is a test that all designers must face.

The crowd didn't get to the point right away, but chatted a few words first.

Lin Wan asked, "How is the situation over there?" ”

Wang Xiaobin smiled: "It's all good, "Fitness Wars" is a success, at first I was worried that the refund mechanism would cause a sharp drop in revenue, but it didn't, but it stimulated the players' enthusiasm for recharging." ”

"Except for continuing to produce new props for "Fitness Wars", there is basically no other work."

Lin Wan asked again: "Then what will be the next new project?" ”

Wang Xiaobin shook his head: "I don't know, wait for Mr. Pei to give the task." The two of us have some ideas, but neither of them is very mature. ”

This topic ended here, Lin Wan sorted out the information and prepared to move on to the next topic.

But at this moment, Ye Zhizhou, who was sitting next to him, suddenly raised his head and seemed to realize something.

"Wait, something suddenly occurred to me!"

"Maybe Mr. Pei has already hinted at our next new project?"

Wang Xiaobin and Lin Wan were surprised: "Huh? ”

Ye Zhizhou suddenly became excited, and said to Wang Xiaobin: "We met Mr. Pei at the door just now, what did Pei always say?" ”

Wang Xiaobin struggled to recall: "Uh...... Mr. Pei said, let's fully cooperate with the work of Chi Xing Studio, it's really not good, and it's okay to let go of the things on the side of Qiyang Games. ”

Ye Zhizhou said: "Isn't this right? ”

Wang Xiaobin was still confused: "What's right?" ”

Ye Zhizhou paused and explained: "The matter of the game can be put aside for a while, which means that we should not be in a hurry to open new projects and conceive new games. ”

"Fully cooperating with Chi Xing's side of the studio, obviously not just helping to design the game. After all, no matter how much we cooperate, the design work is mainly based on the designers of Chi Xing Studio. ”

"But we don't have to stop there, we can also do something that will help with VR glasses!"

"For example, we are also developing a VR version of Fitness Wars?"

"I suddenly found out that "Fitness Wars" and VR, isn't this a match made in heaven?"
