Chapter 318: True Five-Star Praise (4000)
Chow Tai Fook wanted to cover his ears, but the conversation behind him came to his ears like a magic sound.
"Is that machine you experienced class-based? Mine seems to be the most advanced headset, everything looks just like the real thing! ”
"Mine seems to be basic, but I haven't experienced the advanced one, and I don't know what it's like for you, but in my opinion, the experience is already very good, we have just experienced it for a long time, and I didn't feel dizzy at all when I took off my glasses."
“……”
"If you don't listen or don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures ......"
At this time, several sets of VR suits are on the table of the potential partners selected by the edges and corners at home and abroad.
"These are the VR suits that Angular mailed in?"
Billydi's CEO, Dong Guoan, looked at the three large black suitcases that had been placed on the conference table.
These suitcases are printed with edges and corners and the LOGO of Shenzhou, which looks simple and stylish on the surface, and the metallic black of the box itself adds a sense of technology to it.
It contains a complete set of Shenzhou VR in addition to the universal treadmill.
After discussing his previous inspiration with Edges, he also got a set of experience sets from partners, otherwise Edges would not have been able to send them a sample of Billy with Edges' current production capacity.
The VR sets in these three suitcases are basic, advanced, and high-end, and if translated into English, they are the levels of Shenzhou plus and Shenzhou pro.
The biggest difference between these three VR sets is the level of the laser display screen on the headset.
THE BASIC MODEL HAS THE LOWEST LEVEL OF SCREEN, AND THE SCREEN REFRESH RATE IS ALSO THE LOWEST 290HZ, WHILE THE HIGHER ADVANCED AND HIGH-END MODELS WILL HAVE A HIGHER SCREEN REFRESH RATE.
But even the lowest-level screen is still hanging all other screens at the moment.
Because the three levels of screens are all the same in terms of display resolution.
16K!
This resolution is not to mention in the field of VR,Even if you put it on TV, it is also hanging,Now TV can have8KThe resolution is already one of the best in the market。
Of course,With the birth and large-scale use of laser display screens,Now laser display TVs have long been put on the agenda by various TV brands,I believe it won't take much,The performance of TV will usher in a big leap。
Dong Guoan picked up a set and observed it carefully, and asked his secretary about the cooperation proposed last time.
"Do you have any reply to our previous proposal?"
"The Edges and Corners have carried out a preliminary technical assessment, and they believe that our proposed plan has the possibility of being realized, and if we decide to implement it, they are very welcome to cooperate with them."
The current situation is that from the underlying system to the surface hardware, all the technology of Shenzhou VR comes from the edges and corners, so the edges and corners also have the absolute right to speak on the entire system and equipment and even the unfinished ecology.
What software can be downloaded in the Shenzhou world is completely angular, and others have no room for negotiation.
It's just that it's still in its infancy, and the edges and corners won't fully show this hegemony.
At least for domestic and foreign partners, as long as they really want to cooperate, Angjiao will welcome them.
Of course, some companies that are not treated as human beings are not included in this.
The assistant was not finished: "In addition, they said that they are currently working on a peripheral called a haptic suit, which is a virtual somatosensory manufacturing equipment like a haptic glove, and if it succeeds, it will also be beneficial to our plan." ”
"And for the construction of this kind of super-large somatosensory platform, they also have a little technical idea to share with us, and we can communicate with them after the project starts."
Although the feeling of speed overload in real racing cars cannot be completely restored, there is no problem in simulating two percent, and with immersive VR glasses, this level of experience is enough for most people.
As for the technical design of the edges and corners, it is talking about some fragmentary peripheral technologies that Chen Shen stuffed before.
For example, if you fill an entire room or even a hall, the ultra-realistic gondola touch chair will be hoisted into the air after sitting on it, and it will follow the action in VR, so that you can simulate the effects of weightlessness, acceleration and deceleration.
These technologies are not seen in the movie, but Chen Shen probably mentioned them in it, so they were piggybacking on the system.
In this regard, the system is still very conscientious and does not cut corners at all.
In short, if Billy really decided to do this VR racing project, then Edges wouldn't mind licensing the technology to them.
Anyway, this technology is very suitable for racing applications.
And Angjiao has no intention of putting energy into this high-end peripheral market, it is better to put the technology out and let others help them improve the ecology.
By the way, it can also pass on the risk, and if the Shenzhou World unexpectedly crashes into the streets, it will not lose too badly.
It is enough for them to grasp the Shenzhou system and the Shenzhou world.
After listening to the assistant's introduction to the gondola tactile chair, Dong Guoan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He now feels more and more that the project has a head.
Before, he thought that he would find someone to study the technology of peripherals, but he didn't expect that there were semi-mature technical reserves on the edge and corner.
This saves them a lot of effort.
"Yes, tell them that we're going to start this project right away and get their technical experts on board!"
……
In addition to Billydi, many domestic and foreign companies have been sent samples.
For example, Penguin Group, fairy tale e-commerce, good brother e-commerce, and even some pure Internet applications, such as AC station and Kuaiji, these new Internet players are in the ranks of sample gifts.
Although I don't know how these applications will transform to VR, Edges and Corners still sent them samples with anticipation, anyway, they are all here to help build the ecosystem.
Each group has its own plan.
Penguin Group's plan is to continue to go to the old business of virtual social networking, and by the way, to step up the production of VR games.
What kind of mountains and seas, space exploration and other themes have been arranged.
I don't know if I can do it well, but at least the schedule is full.
The e-commerce companies such as Fairy Tale Group are rude and direct in their use of Shenzhou VR, direct virtual shopping, and the VR store is just right.
They all cooperated directly with Edges and Corners, rented a piece of "land" from Shenzhou World, and planned to build their own commercial city.
This land is equivalent to their application license, and with this land, they have a display in the world of China.
It is worth mentioning that after the research of the angular Shenzhou project team, they decided to try to enable cloud application technology for some software.
That is, the user does not need to install the application or software locally, but only needs to start the application on the cloud application page of the terminal, and the server will automatically run the corresponding page and display the page to the user's terminal.
It looks like it's the same as a normal use, but in fact the app is installed on a server.
Moreover, the software using cloud application technology seems to be completely integrated with the Shenzhou world, it has its own coordinates in the virtual world, and users may walk into the application and run it while strolling around in the virtual world......
For example, it is possible for someone to just go sightseeing, but end up walking into a fairy tale mall and shopping with the same interest as if they were actually shopping......
I don't know at all, if I put it on my phone now, I opened the shopping app and wandered around.
This is a deadly assassination of the wallet!
However, this technology imposes a huge burden on the server and would not have been possible in the past.
But this is possible with Oasis' cloud engine technology foundation, which can scale the performance of servers by provisioning the available resources of online devices.
The more devices you have online, the more powerful the server becomes.
However, even with this technology, this cloud application function can only be opened to a small number of software, and software operators have to pay for using this function.
This money is the rent of the "land" in Shenzhou.
Only by paying enough rent to Edges and Corners every year can these operators who want to open cloud applications have a piece of land in the Shenzhou World and display it in the large map of the system.
In addition, what is surprising is that the e-commerce companies of Fairy Tale Group have quickly developed several VR peripherals after receiving samples.
For example, as long as you take a photo of yourself and then use a facial expression scanner to scan your face, AI can generate a virtual 3D model that is more than 95% similar to a real person.
The data of the face comes from the facial expression scanner, and the data of the body comes from the judgment of the AI.
In addition, the companies have developed a body size recognition device.
The device looks like a piece of cloth with Velcro tape on both sides that allows it to close into a cylinder, and by wrapping the cloth around one's legs or limbs and torso, detailed data on these parts can be detected and recorded.
This device is more accurate than AI recognition, and users can manually resize their own models at a later stage.
As for what these devices are for?
Of course, it is used to sell clothes.
In addition to e-commerce companies, in reality, there are decoration companies, real estate companies and a series of companies that require physical display.
This directly formed a round of VR craze.
This boom is far more intense than a few years ago, the scale of investment in the field of VR in China alone, in a short period of time reached tens of billions, is expected to reach two or three hundred billion in a year is not a problem at all.
The most important reason for the resurgence of the VR craze, which had been slowly fading a few years ago, is technology.
A few years ago, VR technology was not very developed, and even now it is not very realistic, and the graphics and games that can be displayed are not satisfactory.
This is an important reason why the VR craze is receding.
However, the emergence of Shenzhou is different, with ultra-high-performance carbon-based chips, ultra-high display quality laser screens, and mature underlying and supporting technologies......
This is a complete transcendence of the previous VR, and the previous shortcomings have been made up.
This has made many companies see the outlet.
Shenzhou VR is like a luxury cruise ship that stops in front of them poor jacks and asks them if they want to get on board.
It's a fool not to get on board!
This round of craze is reflected in the market, and the first thing that has created is not how much consumption, but a massive demand for VR modeling.
Countless companies huddle together to place orders to build their own virtual worlds, and the most basic components of virtual worlds are one model after another.
None of this can be done by writing code from your own programmers, and even Internet companies that deal with computers all day long have a large part of this business to outsource.
The demand for VR modeling alone has created a new market of more than 10 billion yuan worldwide.
According to the statistics of some institutions, from the live broadcast of Chen Shen to the launch of the Angular Experience Hall, in just one and a half months, more than 1,000 new companies engaged in the VR modeling industry have been added around the world.
After the launch of the experience hall, the VR modeling company is going up at a rate of two or three hundred per day.
In this environment, on the contrary, the AI modeling software that was thrown out for testing before the edges and corners had an unexpected joy.
Just like the previous Bai Ze AI software, it has done an excellent job of AI modeling, and the average data shows that it can double the work efficiency of a modeler, and some large scenes can be automatically generated by AI, and then refined by humans......
In this way, the market response was flat, and the modeling software that only companies with large business volumes would buy was suddenly bought, and thousands of copies were sold every day.
It is also a considerable investment for the angular artificial intelligence department.
In addition, Edges and Corners have recently been aggressively expanding production.
The most important sensor cap is no longer enough to rely on the production capacity of the official factory alone, so Edges and Corners has been building its own factory since the end of last year.
The share of carbon-based chips sold at that time was also for this reason.
With the current scale of the production of sensor caps, the cost can be reduced to more than 10,000 yuan.
Combined with the other things in the suit, the cost of a full set of Shenzhou VR equipment is 33,000 yuan, the most expensive is the sensor cap, followed by the universal treadmill and VR glasses as a headset, both of which cost 5,000.
At this price, ordinary people can't afford it, at most, they can buy a pair of VR glasses and operating handle gloves, which can be done within 8,000 to 9,000.
The reason for the expansion of production is because of the official order.
Just the first batch of orders, the official directly asked for 30,000 sets, which is the number of three divisions.
Angjiao also gave a preferential price, and the original price of 40,000 yuan for a full set of equipment was only 35,000 sets.
The other party has given a real five-star praise based on the current experience, saying that you can continue to buy it if you have funds later, and you can even recommend friends from other countries to buy it.
When Comrade Chen heard the news, his feelings were complicated.
Does he have set foot in the arms market like this?
