Chapter 231: Reducing Costs

However, this idea is only a preliminary idea, and whether it can be realized depends on the next operation.

To achieve the level he envisioned, he still needs to break through many obstacles.

The first thing in front of him is the industrial preparation of carbon-based chips, without the support of carbon-based chips, the high-performance Oasis host cannot be manufactured.

Without the Oasis host of the system, it is impossible to bring the monster software of Oasis with the performance of the current computer host.

The second is laser display technology and brain-computer control devices.

Without the ultra-high image quality brought by laser display technology, the virtual world will lose its sense of reality.

Without brain-computer control, the multitude of peripherals and complex operations, as well as the real space occupied by these devices, will be a factor that dissuades the public.

After all, a set of entry-level Oasis equipment is configured, and it has to occupy three or four cubic meters of space.

Reality is not a movie, and most people can't squeeze this space out of reality.

As for the price factor......

It is undeniable that the price of this VR equipment will definitely not be low when it starts.

However, in today's industrialized society, as long as the system is mature, the cost of products will slowly decrease.

This is especially true for electronics, which have been proven countless times on PCs and mobile phones.

This set of VR equipment is equivalent to a new type of computer, which can bring a new Internet experience to the public.

And Chen Shen also has his own ideas about reducing costs......

On the other hand, along with this hardware change, the software ecology of the Internet will also produce great changes.

It's just that in this change, he can obviously hold the initiative firmly in his hands.

Early the next morning.

Chen Shen went to Wang Qian and asked her for detailed research information on the current domestic carbon-based chips.

"Carbon-based chips? How did you get your eyes on this area? Wang Qian was a little strange after listening to his thoughts.

After the success of the first algorithm experiment of photoacoustic detection, she guessed that Chen Shen would start a new project as soon as possible, but she didn't expect Chen Shen to set his sights on carbon-based chips.

Chen Shen just replied, "I had an interesting idea last night, and I thought I could experiment with it." ”

Without waiting for Wang Qian to speak, he continued: "In addition to carbon-based chips, I also need learning materials about laser display technology, especially scanning technology. ”

Wang Qian wrote down his needs, and still couldn't help asking: "How can there be carbon-based chips and laser displays?" Are you going to study laser TV? ”

Chen Shen smiled mysteriously, "I want to make a game to play." ”

"Games?"

Chen Shen didn't explain further, and Wang Qian, who was confused, didn't pay much attention to it, and quickly reflected the demand.

Just when Dasheng's internal operation was due to these two needs, Chen Shen also went to the liquefied neuron laboratory.

Shi Yi and they are not here today, and the people here are all newly elected members.

The Liquefied Neuron Project is no longer composed entirely of experts and professors, but also includes many promising PhDs and Masters who are helping to do research while studying.

This is also a manifestation of the reduced secrecy of the project, which may appear on the hookup one day.

"Hello God."

"The chief teacher is a good ......"

When these people saw Chen Shen coming in, they greeted one after another.

Chen Shen, on the other hand, quickly locked on Yang Xing's figure in the crowd and waved at him.

The others could only watch with envy as Yang Xing walked out of the laboratory with a smile on his face.

"Ah Xing, why does he seem to be very familiar with the great god?"

"I heard that he was a member of the boxer project team before."

"No wonder! Wouldn't that be a veteran! ”

Ignoring the whispers behind him, Yang Xing quickly followed Chen Shen to the corridor.

"Great God, did you come to me to tell me about the problem with yesterday's plan?"

Yang Xing followed behind Chen Shen, and the two walked to a rest area and sat down at the table before he asked.

Chen Shen said lightly: "There was nothing wrong with the plan yesterday, and I came to you today to give you another task." ”

In the end, the control system of the brain-controlled exoskeleton is just to find a specific nerve signal and execute the corresponding command.

Yang Xing's current level is not going to make mistakes when doing such a little work.

Yang Xing asked curiously, "What new task?" Is it the brain-controlled system of other prosthetics? ”

Chen Shen shook his head, "No, what I want you to do this time is more complicated than the last time." ”

"I want you to improve on yesterday's plan, add recognizable signals and instructions, and turn it into a brain-computer system that allows people to manipulate VR characters."

Yang Xing touched his head, "VR character? ”

"Yes, I'm going to make a software or game that combines with VR, and then people will use their brains to control VR characters."

After this popular explanation, Yang Xing immediately understood.

"However, isn't there already a prototype device in the brain-computer center to control the computer? I've seen that reporter use it before when I'm on a live stream. ”

Chen Shen said: "I was planning to let you lead that technical team and study this together. ”

The brain-computer device used by Yan Dongsheng can indeed allow people to control electronic devices and even play games, but it is not enough to complete the role operations on the oasis.

And Chen Shen's purpose is not only that.

"I asked you to work together, in addition to this VR brain control system, I also hope that you can develop a universal brain control device."

"A universal brain control device?" Yang Xing thought for a while, "Is it a brain-computer device that can be used on multiple platforms?" Can it be used on a prosthetic limb, a computer, or a VR device? ”

"That's right, it's exactly what you said." Chen Shen nodded approvingly.

That's what he thinks.

If there is such a universal brain control device in the world, it can not only greatly reduce the trouble of research and development, but also unify the specifications and greatly reduce the cost of brain control device production.

The most widely used brain control device is the Nezha generation, but it cannot be used with the brain control device of the Kuafu generation.

In other words, although they both produce brain control devices, only the most basic components such as sensors and wirings are the same, and other processes and designs are different.

This greatly raises the cost of production, which is not conducive to the popularization of current brain-computer technology.

Therefore, Chen Shencai wants to unify the two and even all brain-computer devices to realize the multi-scene application of one set of devices.

This is like the same mobile phone used all over the world, the same chip, the same material, the same design, so that the production cost of this mobile phone will be reduced to an incredible degree.

Of course, this is not a long-term solution.

It is bound to cause many problems, such as latency in different application scenarios.

It's like when you control a prosthetic limb, there is only a 10 millisecond delay, but when it comes to controlling the game, it will go up to 50 milliseconds due to software system compatibility and other issues......

However, it is undeniable that this method can greatly reduce the cost of brain control devices and increase the popularity of brain-computer technology.

When there are really people looking forward to special brain control devices for these problems, it means that the market has been cultivated, and Chen Shen's purpose has been achieved.

At this time, the general-purpose brain control device can be retired, or as a supplement to the market, it can survive in the form of low-end products.
