Chapter Ninety-Five: Amazing Custom Tests
"Lisa, go get my tools, and by the way, get two more brainwave helmets." Clement turned to the secretary sitting next to him. GmoSystems is also a very new start-up company, and now in addition to a dozen workers and two or three R&D personnel, there is only one full-time administrator, Lisa, who is today the on-site meeting recorder.
"Miss Suzanne, although I can't think of how your company did all this now, frankly speaking, under the sensitivity of the current enhanced brainwave helmet, we have not achieved the level of your company's arm-and-finger, I can't imagine that today we will encounter a demand that does not require such a high sensitivity, presumably your company has a unique way of brainwave pattern analysis and recognition.
I'm also looking forward to how your product will perform with reduced sensitivity, so we might as well give it a try now. Clement is an expert in brainwave interface research, and he immediately saw the key to Duke's changes.
It's just that Duke and Suzanne are a little confused, can they try it now? Could it be that this helmet can be easily modified?
Their doubts did not last long, the female secretary took the things, only to see Dr. Clement pick up the tools, and did not shy away from transforming the helmet on the spot, it can be seen that Clement usually does not fiddle with these things, but in a few minutes he very quickly removed a few brain electrodes from a brain wave helmet, completing a simplified version.
"Miss Suzanne, now you are trying this brainwave helmet and see if it can meet your company's requirements in the current situation." Clement handed Suzanne this simplified version of the brainwave helmet that had been modified in the field. "This helmet now uses only twelve brain electrodes."
It's as simple as that? Duke and Suzanne were a little surprised when they watched Clement complete the transformation in three strokes and five divisions by two, the production and assembly of this brainwave helmet is too simple, it seems that this modular design is really good.
Duke took the brainwave helmet from Susanna, opened the test interface, and the test was completed quickly, and the recognition rate was still 100%, proving that this simplification still has potential to be tapped.
Clement looked at the entire thirty command buttons on Duke's computer that were all recognized, and his eyes almost fell out, when he just demonstrated the game, he didn't know how many commands Duke and they used, after all, for a fighting game, a dozen commands are enough, where did he think that Duke actually used thirty commands, no wonder the picture operation is so sharp.
Being able to improve brain wave pattern recognition in driving to such an extent that Clement, as a leading expert in the industry, knows how difficult it is, and this is something he has not done in his research industry for more than ten years. Today he can be regarded as an eye-opener, this person is really a big bull in brainwave interface research!
Clement suppressed the excitement in his heart, took the brainwave helmet in Duke's hand, and removed the four brain electrodes again, and the helmet test of the remaining eight brain electrodes was still no problem.
Take off four more, but the remaining four EEG helmets of the left and right brains have a lot of recognition rate, reduced to about 80 percent, and then added back to six, covering the left and right brain back of the head The recognition rate of the back of the forehead has increased to more than 90 percent, that is to say, the helmet effect of six brain electrodes has surpassed the brainwave headset of Mindsky, and the helmet of eight brain electrodes has reached the level of Mindsky's brainwave helmet.
Looking at the results of this amazing test, Dr. Clement felt that he had spent more than ten years in vain, and for a while he had a strange feeling of discouragement, knowing that he himself is an expert in this field of research, and he has completely relied on his own unique brainwave receiving research results to start a business to get to today.
"Dr. Clement, I wonder how much it costs to produce a helmet with 6 EEGs and 8 EEGs? Can it meet the requirements of production costs below $80? Suzanne asked with a smile as she looked at Clement, who was a little discouraged.
Suzanne is also a little pleased with this shocking effect, the modular design of GmoSystems products obviously has a lot of potential to be tapped, although today's results can be said to have been surprised by everyone, I believe that the effect of Duke and GmoSystems cooperation will be more ideal.
"Of course, if you only need 6 to 8 brain electrodes, there is no problem in controlling the cost within 80 US dollars" Seeing that the other party has such a powerful product, Clement knows that the people who come today are experts, and the cost of this brain electrode is not a secret, according to the current market, if the order unit is 10,000, it will not exceed 8 US dollars, and there are discounts for more quantities.
With the addition of other circuits and helmet molds, in the case of large quantities, the production cost can indeed be controlled within 80 US dollars.
Although Clement knows that this OEM business will be completed seventy or eighty percent, but the price of the other party cannot be too high, the other party's products have high adaptability to brainwave helmets, not only in their own products, but also in the competitor Mindsky products are certainly not inferior, since the other party feels that the price of Mindsky's products is too high, otherwise they will not find themselves.
Then, according to the estimation of the price of Mindsky's products, Clement knows that Mindsky will probably give a seven-fold discount for large-scale purchases, so that the price of the other party's low-end products will not exceed $70, and the high-end products will not exceed $120.
"In that case, I guess after further optimization, there should be no problem for your company to provide us with $60 and $100 products, right?" Suzanne smiled and said that it should be acceptable for Clement to give about 25 percent of the gross profit margin on the basis of Clement's production cost.
"Of course, after looking at the game products we just demonstrated, I think Dr. Clement also knows that our annual shipments will be in the millions, and this price is very reasonable for your company at this order of magnitude, right?"
Of course, this price is also ideal for Duke, after all, the cost of the helmet can be controlled within a hundred dollars, which means that the pricing space of the game kit has been greatly improved, maybe the high-end product is priced at $199, which can cut the sales price by nearly $50, which is obvious for sales promotion.
Based on this expectation, Suzanne automatically increased the sales volume by an order of magnitude without any pressure, compared with the $199 Mindsky sales of brainwave helmets and a few rudimentary game kits, Duke They provide this kit is obviously more cost-effective, think about using brainwave telekinesis to be able to play an almost the best current 3D fighting game, this cost performance is really not on the same level, it is conceivable that when Duke's 3D brainwave game product kit is launched, Mindsky only has to cry.
