Volume 1 Chapter 560 I Don't Want Money for My Lunch!
What does it feel like to control Android on a 70-inch LCD?
Ye Qiu was at this moment in such a strange-looking thing.
In front of him was a Samsung LCD monitor hanging on the wall more than four meters away from him, seventy inches, ultra-thin, burgundy piano lacquer, which looked like a typical Korean design, the appearance wins, and of course, the quality is still okay.
Sitting on the sofa, his hands on his sides, his eyes looking at the monitor in front of him, no one noticed his movement, just felt that a web page appeared on the monitor, he was surfing the Internet, and he was browsing some portals, and by the way, he googled Tottenham Hotspur and eight consecutive wins, and found a lot of news chains.
Then I felt the screen shrink.,Exit the web page.,Enter Weibo.,Then I saw the AP slowly climb up.,It looks like I'm browsing a piece of Weibo.,But it didn't take long for me to quit again.,Re-enter a game.,Cut fruit.。
When Ye Qiu ordered to cut the fruit, there was obviously a burst of laughter around, isn't this a bit of a spoof?
Eliza Moon, who was sitting not far from him, couldn't she just smash him to death with her hygienic eyes, couldn't she be more serious?
But what is surprising is that Ye Qiu didn't move, but the action of cutting fruits kept appearing on the screen, could it be a trick to kill the enemy with the legendary eyes?
This guy's technique of cutting fruit is as bad as his technique of picking up girls.,It didn't take long for him to hit a bomb.,Dead.,After exiting.,Enter a drawing APp application.,And then I saw a very unbelievable scene.。
It's like a paintbrush, on the white paper, drawing one trace after another, the whole process is very coherent, just like if you take a pen and draw a sketch directly on the white paper of the screen, you can't tell that this is touch, and you can't tell what is going on.
You must know that to draw a sketch on the computer, you must use professional props, judging from the scene in front of you, there don't seem to be any professional props, and even from Ye Qiu's body, there is no big movement, he is still sitting there with the old god, his butt didn't even move, and he didn't raise his hand.
Oh, by the way, his hand doesn't seem to be on the side of the sofa, but a little higher, and when the computer screen shows the action, his hand also follows a slight movement, is he remotely controlling the computer monitor?
As Ye Qiu drew circle after circle of sketches, there was already a burst of cheers from the scene, and it was obvious that this was a cheer from the R&D department, because it almost meant that they had succeeded
As soon as Ye Qiu's hand stopped, he saw that his right hand was slightly raised, and his five fingers were grasped, as if he was doing a five-finger touch on the screen of a tablet computer and a mobile phone.
Sure enough, as soon as he grabbed it, everything on the display automatically quit and returned to the desktop of the Android system.
"Great," Ye Qiu couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
At the same time, there was a burst of exclamation, and there was also a burst of cheers.
No one thought that in less than five months, the people in the R&D department were able to come up with such a product, which is indeed admirable to them, and more importantly, the effect of this product is even more surprising than imagined, because he has greatly surpassed Microsoft's previously released Kt in many aspects, that is, the somatosensory controller.
When Ye Qiu stood up from the sofa and applauded vigorously, everyone noticed that far away from the right side of the sofa where he was sitting just now, just below the area covered by his palm, there was a boxy, five-inch box-sized box the size of a mobile phone.
This box looks a little rough, the top layer is black, a bit like tempered glass, and the perimeter is made of aluminum alloy, and there is a PH line connected to the bottom, this PH line is directly connected to the computer, but it can let Ye Qiu sit away from the display screen and the computer host, and directly operate it remotely.
No wonder Ye Qiu didn't move when he was sitting just now, because this box was placed under the palm of his hand, he only needed to raise his hand slightly to be able to control it directly, and he didn't need to be like some other somatosensory devices, he had to raise his hands high, or get close to the somatosensory device, to be able to sense it.
What's more,It doesn't require any pre-selection settings,It's like magic,You can directly use it to touch everything in the Android system,There is no delay,The accuracy is extremely high,In the words of the R&D personnel of Leaf Technology,If the future can really create the so-called 30 user interface,It is the best way to control。
To be able to manufacture such a product in less than five months, in addition to the strong R&D and innovation team of Leaf Technology, there is also the person who is encouraged and affirmed by many people at this moment, the head of the R&D team named Beyond, Michael Buckward.
"Congratulations, and thank you, Dr. Buckward" Ye Qiu held out his right hand to the young, but looked like a university professor, dressed casually and even a little sloppily, this product was born out of his doctoral dissertation.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye Qiu, without your support and encouragement, there would be no [transcendence]" Buckward also looked very excited, because this product was his brainchild, but only Ye Technology was willing to invest money to help him develop it.
Mainly because the current somatosensory controller market is still very fresh, although Nintendo and Microsoft have successively released news about somatosensory controllers, but everyone does not attach much importance to this field, because now almost all large companies are rushing to engage in smartphones and tablets.
Apple, for example, has also launched its own IO mobile phone operating system, and will launch mobile phone products in a short period of time; Microsoft has also launched its own mobile operating system, and Google is also going to launch its own mobile operating system, almost all of which are swarmed on, so touch is now the most mainstream control mode.
There is another limitation that is,The practicability of somatosensory controllers is often very poor,Just like Microsoft and Nintendo,Both are set up on TVs or near TVs,Even everyone knows,They launch such products are the needs of game consoles,It is a peripheral product,And the effective range of somatosensory controllers also has certain limitations。
However, in Michael Buckward's paper, he felt that this control method had the potential to change the interaction mode between humans and computers, so he believed that a better somatosensory control mode should be three-dimensional, high-precision, and must be delay-free, able to get rid of all the limitations of existing somatosensory controllers.
And this product is to put it bluntly, it is actually very simple, three cameras in the box for stereoscopic capture, and then through a set of rigorous calculations and calculations, the final recognition of finger movements.
In addition to Dr. Michael Buckward, the entire transcendence team also has David Holtz, who used to work with NASA, Andy Miller, who used to work at Apple, etc., all of whom are talents from all walks of life.
"I think it's a technology and product that has appeared specifically for remote control on the big screen."
Jonathan Ivey has already operated this product himself, and even the appearance design of the product has his involvement, and he has always wondered how to design it into other products, such as the legendary smart TV.
What is the biggest problem with Smart TVs?
It's not about your content, it's not about your system, it's not about what hardware you use, it's about your interactive system
Jonathan Ivey picked up the sample, weighed it in his hand, shook his head and said, "But at least from the current situation, it needs to continue, we have to make it smaller, more convenient, more accurate, and more practical."
According to current estimates, the cost of such a product is expected to be about two hundred dollars, that is, if you want to use this set of techniques, the cost will be more than two hundred dollars, and the price of the product will be very high and not cost-effective.
However, the prospect of this technique is definitely worth affirming, because if you can make it small, then put it on the TV, you can sit on the sofa and control the TV remotely like Ye Qiu did just now, without shouting at the TV, or raising your right hand to make gestures.
Of course,At that time, it will definitely be necessary to make corresponding changes and adjustments on the smart TV operating system,But this is very simple,The key is the emergence of this technology,It will completely bring about changes in the field of smart TV,Change the way TV interacts with users。
"Continue research and development,At present, the conditions of smart TV are not mature enough,So we are not in a hurry,But we have to master this technology quickly,And apply for all patents,When the time is ripe,Open to the outside world,Attract more entrepreneurs and R&D personnel to enter,On our platform,Develop more and better applications。
What is the most important thing about the so-called smart ecosystem?
It's service
Many people find it strange that most of the apps in the Android store of Leaf Technology charge money?
Is it really just because Ye Tech covets that huge astronomical sum?
It's not just that, it's an ecological balance, because developers develop more apps, the purpose is to make money in the final analysis, you have to let them make money, they are interested in continuing to develop, if it's all free, they lack motivation, they lack excitement, and when the time comes to develop a product, there is a lack of interest.
Florentino said that the most expensive is actually the cheapest, but the reverse can also be said, the cheapest is actually the most expensive, especially when you think you are enjoying a free lunch, in fact you are tasting the most expensive and sky-high lunch in the world, but they are just turning around and telling you in various ways, I don't need money for lunch
Ye Qiu has always adhered to a principle, moderate openness, because excessive openness will lead to flooding, but excessive closure will lead to complacency, becoming closed off from the country, and ultimately lacking the ability to innovate.
Therefore, the leaf technology he created is actually also to take such a way, emphasizing creativity, moderate openness, not only in the company's strategy, in management and personnel, but also in the management and personnel, the management of leaf technology is quite open, almost anyone, as long as you can get an effective plan, basically can get the opportunity to try and prove yourself, get the company's research and development financial support.
Here, there is one more thing that must be said, that is, many people have a misunderstanding of Internet companies such as Leaf Technology.
Many people will look at Leaf Technology and Google with an attitude towards conventional companies, and think, wow, what is the use of investing 10 billion dollars in R&D a year, and as a result, a lot of impractical products have been developed? Can't make a profit? Sooner or later, it will collapse
Wrong
The person who thinks this way is because he doesn't understand how Leaf Tech works
To take the simplest example, Ye Technology has acquired so many companies and technologies, and has accumulated countless patents and technical capabilities, what is the most profitable thing about this company?
The answer is very simple, everyone knows that Zeus mobile phones and tablets are currently making money on these two major products.
But you have to know that the number of employees behind these two products only accounts for less than 10 of the company's employees, so what are the others? R&D, innovation, integration
This involves the company's internal management model, so Ye Qiu will always need Eliza to be in charge in the United States, because Eliza knows and understands Ye Qiu best, she has watched Ye Technology from scratch, from childhood to adulthood, she may even know more about Ye Technology than Ye Qiu, she can control all this, and only she can
It's not just Ye Technology, Google, although there are many investors who complain about Google's wanton waste of R&D funds, resulting in many aspects of the company's innovation not keeping up, but they still encourage innovation, and what supports their innovation? It's the profit generated by the employees who are engaged in the search business within their company
In other words, the remaining 93 employees are losing money, and this ratio is even more outrageous than that of Leaf Technology.
The same is true for Microsoft, Apple, 15N, and so on, and almost all Internet companies are like this, using the high profits of their core business to create a foundation, and then engaging in all kinds of innovative research and development.
So,The question is,Many people think it's strange,You Ye Technology has entered smart cars,Enter driverless cars,Enter the field of smart TV,Are those traditional automotive industry、The leaders of the TV industry,Can't they do it?
Look at how many top car manufacturers in the world have joined the smart car alliance led by Ye Technology, and almost all the big brands in the world have entered, what is it? The simple reason is that they can't afford the financial pressure of such an incomparably large innovation, because their margins are relatively meager, even less so than that of Leaf Technology.
In the authoritative data of the UR year, the profit margin of automobiles ranks 46th out of 50 industries, which is negative 007, while the profit of Internet services is positive 19. You can casually see how big the gap is, and the Internet takes the average, not profiteering companies like Leaf Technology and Google.
Therefore, in the field of smart cars, Ye Technology and Google are at the forefront, and those traditional auto companies can only choose to cooperate, and it is impossible to continue to dominate this market, which can be seen clearly from their finances.
Of course, there are risks in all industries, Microsoft's risk is that the operating system and OPPICP will not be beaten down, Google's risk is that the search business will not be overtaken, and the risk of Leaf Technology is that the smartphone and tablet market will be crushed, all of which are risky, but relatively speaking, Internet companies are the most dynamic and innovative in all industries.
At present, Yezi Technology's intelligent car system has launched a test version for some car companies and important R&D personnel, but if you want to go to the Internet of Vehicles, it will take a long time, at least one or two years, after all, the most priority of the car is safety, which is related to the user's life, and must be cautious
It's rare to come to the United States, Ye Qiu went to the site for a test drive, and it feels no different, just more functions and services, and a set of intelligent systems integrated into the car.
By the way, Ye Technology has also officially launched its own map business, which has also led to several large Internet companies such as Ye Technology, Google, Microsoft, and Apple, and their businesses are very intertwined with each other, and the competition between them can be described as very fierce, and it can even be said to be fierce.
Among them, Microsoft's CPO Steve Ballmer publicly stated that Microsoft's smartphone operating system is an important strategic department of Microsoft, and will become Microsoft's most important core business, which will accelerate research and development and promotion.
It's no wonder that Ye Technology is playing everything now, and wants to cross borders to engage in ultrabooks in the future, which has already moved Microsoft's cheese and separated the alliance between Microsoft and Intel, but now it's okay, even the free version of OPPICP is out, aren't you going to dismantle Microsoft's station?
In line with the attitude that you don't make me feel better, and I won't let you worry, Microsoft's focus on smartphones is also understandable, on the contrary, if Microsoft doesn't do this, then Microsoft is no longer Microsoft.
Ye Qiu is not worried about the competition of smart phones at all, with the current technical reserves of Ye Technology, the next five years or even ten years, will be a period of rapid development of Ye Technology, it is difficult for others to shake the status of Ye Technology, so the most important thing for Ye Technology now is not for Microsoft or for whom, but to focus on improving their own intelligent ecosystem.
As long as this core business is done, what is Microsoft, Apple, and Google afraid of?
