Zhong Ming also opened a set of peripherals next to Tang Ying, and as soon as he stood on the universal treadmill, the ring screen around him slowly descended, completely enveloping him.

Well, that's what a "true immersive experience" is.

After that, a tutorial for using it appeared on the big screen, which was very detailed.

The bracket of the universal treadmill can be stuck in the waist after adjustment, the operation is very simple, and this telescopic bracket is very strong, Zhong Ming was a little uncomfortable at first, but after getting familiar with it, he found that this kind of bracket is assisted, and he can allow his body to tilt about 60 degrees and then return to the right, and the slight help makes Zhong Ming very comfortable when turning and tilting.

The foot is a universal treadmill, which does not require real running as Zhong Ming imagined, but only needs to step on a specific area on the base with both feet in a certain way.

Some specific actions in the game can be completed with this set of gimbal treadmills, such as:

Running: With the left foot in front and the right foot in the back, as long as one foot steps on the "running area" of the outer ring of the gimbal treadmill, the character in the game will automatically start running, just like pressing the W key on the keyboard. At the same time, the gimbal treadmill determines where the player is moving at this time according to the distribution of the player's left and right feet, for example, if the player's left foot is directly to the left, the character is panning to the left, which is equivalent to pressing the A key.

The advantage of this practice is that it is not tiring.

If the game really allows players to run the whole way, then many people's physical fitness can't keep up at all, not to mention that if the speed of running is the same in the game, then the setting of "running in reality will only run in the game" will be very useless. And this way of determining the player's movement through specific steps allows most players to play with less effort, which also ensures their game time.

Moreover, the base of the universal treadmill is obviously specially designed, the whole surface is slightly concave downward, the outer ring is the moving area, the inner circle is the standing area, and combined with the player's current orientation, the player's movement can be well positioned.

Slide: This is done by moving + tilting the body, and the player can do it by tilting the body during the run.

Squatting: This requires the player to actually crouch, the stand will automatically adjust, and walking after crouching is also done in a similar way.

Shooting: The player is born with a spear and a pistol, both of which are also hung on the simulator. These two guns are generic models, and there are some buttons on them, in addition to the regular buttons such as reload magazines and trigger buttons, there are also some buttons for special functions, such as using props, etc.

Most of these buttons are integrated in places that are easier for the player to press, such as near the thumb of the right hand, or the position that the left hand touches when holding the spear, to complete some operations in the game, which is basically similar to the VR gamepad in Zhong Ming's previous life, picking up things and throwing objects are done through these buttons.

There is also a small screen on the gun simulator that simulates the scope, but this small screen will only activate after the player obtains the corresponding scope in the game.

For example, when the player gets a double lens, it will activate this small screen after being mounted on the spear, and when the player aims through the scope, it will enlarge a small area in front of the muzzle, and the actual use experience is closer to the real scope than the regular keyboard and mouse operation.

Of course, real scopes aren't that easy to use.

Zhong Ming found that this version of the game has changed slightly compared to the "Road of the Gun God" he played before, and a lot of things have been chopped.

For example, the keyboard and mouse version of "The Road of the Gun God" has the function of lying down, which is canceled here, and the height of the squat has also been adjusted to the height of the player's squatting on the universal treadmill, which is slightly higher than in the usual game, and some special props that require complex operations to use, etc., have all been modified, either changed to quick use, or cut directly.

There is also the keyboard and mouse version of "The Way of the Gun God" in the first person and the third person, and here it is all changed to the first person.

Zhong Ming ran around the training ground and shot at the target in front of him, and he was surprised that the gun simulator in his hand would also simulate recoil, and this time the pressure gun was not just to pull the mouse down, but really needed to press the gun.

Of course, the recoil must be far worse than the real gun, otherwise this game will be too hardcore, and the shoulder will definitely not work if you play for two hours. This recoil is just a special kind of vibration, and the gun simulator should have a vibration unit added to simulate the real recoil at the same time, the biggest effect is to let the player's head drop when firing in bursts.

"This simulator is so powerful, it was developed by the company of "The Way of the Gun God"?" Zhong Ming asked.

Tang Ying next to him was also familiar with this new operation, and replied: "No, it is said to be the latest product developed by an emerging technology company in the first district, because "Road of the Gun God" is the most popular FPS game now, so I will first find "The Road of the Gun God" to cooperate in developing the market." ”

Zhong Ming probably understands that this should be similar to some manufacturers that produce flying car simulators giving priority to finding more popular racing games to seek cooperation.

It turned out to be a new product, and it hasn't been listed at all, so it's no wonder I haven't searched for it on the Internet before.

"How much does this set cost?" Zhong Ming asked.

Tang Ying replied: "I don't know the specifics, it is said that the cost is well controlled this time, and it is not easy for this set of equipment to be compressed to about 15,000." However, this is only the price of peripherals, and if you want to run, you have to match a medium and high-end computer. ”

Fifteen thousand, which is already considered cheap.

Because some other simulators in this world, such as driving simulators, may cost tens of thousands.

Fifteen thousand, this price is basically similar to the price of some VR equipment in Zhong Ming's previous life when it first came out, and now most hardcore players have high-end computers, even if they don't, the total price does not exceed 30,000.

The key is that the experience of this set of equipment is much better than the VR equipment in Zhong Ming's previous life.

Wrap-around large screen, ultra-high-definition without mosaic troubles, the gun simulator feels excellent, and the universal treadmill is also relatively mature, the sturdiness and comfort of the bracket are good, although often tilting the body makes people feel a little sand sculpture, but if you are really immersed in the game, you will like this feeling.

Originally, Zhong Ming was not interested in similar things, but after playing like this, he really felt that this thing was promising.

If Shimmer Studios had a hardware department, it could also consider developing something similar......

Of course, you have to dig Lin Xiaoguang first.

"Come on, try to open a game?" Tang Ying has probably tried it almost and wants to experience it in actual combat.

Zhong Ming nodded: "Come on!" ”
