Chapter 254: Product Launch
On the last day of May, Tianyi Technology announced the news of the successful trial production of the light sensor version 1.0, and the world shook once the news was released.
At present, the sensor that can fully match the multi-lens motion tracking system of AR mobile phones in the market has not yet been developed.
Now the main question is what is the image quality of the light sensor, once the effect is as described, or even a little worse, its market prospects are immeasurable.
BBK and TLC immediately made a congratulatory call and proposed cooperation on the application of light sensor in various fields.
Subsequently, many mobile phone and sensor giants, including LG, Huawei, Geer Acoustics, Samsung, Xiaomi, etc., sent a company letter to Tianyi, wanting to do further exchanges on light sensors.
Tianyi Technology gave a serious answer to all the companies that sent formal letters, including the application prospects of light sensors in smart devices such as mobile phones, wearable devices, and drones.
On the morning of June 2, Tianyi Technology held a product launch conference in Jinling Science and Technology Museum.
There are many guests at the meeting, in addition to media reporters, many of them are experts and scholars in the industry who have been specially invited to witness Tianyi optical sensor.
The conference site was full of cameras, flashing lights, one after another.
Soon, Yao Xin, the head of the light sensor, came to the stage.
There are no too many pleasantries, in fact, as a technician, Yao Xin will not do this.
"Thanks to the media reporters and industry colleagues for coming, today I bring you Tianyi light sensor version 1.0, which is the first product of Tianyi since its birth, I can proudly say that this is an epoch-making product. ”
Since Tianyi's scolding last month, those entertainment news reporters are now not interested in Tianyi, and even a little repulsive, so most of the media who come today are more professional.
Hearing Yao Xin's unashamed words, many people were not convinced.
A reporter from the well-known domestic science and technology website "Tiger Sniffing Network" stood up with a microphone and asked, "Mr. Yao, can I ask?"
Yao Xin, who was not good at words, nodded.
The reporter of Tiger Sniff said: "With all due respect, several core processing components of Chinese sensors are using foreign technology, and I have not learned from Adobe and InvenSense that they have licensed the technology to you, where does your image processing and positioning technology come from?"
Yao Xin said: "When you ask this, it also represents your ignorance, who stipulates that we must introduce the technology of other companies?
Just when the Tiger Sniff reporter was embarrassed, Yao Xin followed: "Since you asked, then I will also answer you by the way, Tianyi's image processing algorithm and positioning algorithm are developed on the basis of basic algorithms, so there is no authorization problem." ”
“......”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, another entertainment news reporter asked: "Mr. Yao, about the ...... of plot 25 in Jianye District"
Without waiting for the female reporter to finish asking, Yao Xin cut off and said: "You are not afraid of shadows, if you feel that there is a problem, you can report to the relevant departments." Also, this is a product launch, and you're not here to cause trouble by asking such a question on such an occasion?"
“...... Excuse me. The female reporter sat down in a daze.
Originally, many reporters at the scene were eager to try, but after seeing two reporters in a row being slapped in the face, they suddenly died down.
Seeing that no one spoke, Yao Xin said: "Let me demonstrate the effect of the light sensor version 1.0 for you." As the words fell, the OLED projector behind him lit up.
"Today I have a total of four mobile phones, namely OPPOR11s, iPhone X, Huawei mate10 and Samsung Galaxy. ”
Yao Xin pointed at the screen with a baton and said: "Everyone, please see, this is traditional light sensing, distance sensing, gyroscope, GPS, fingerprint sensing, etc., their role is ......"
Yao Xin explained them one by one, published all their parameters, and then analyzed the data of the graphics taken by these mobile phones.
Yao Xin asked: "I believe you don't have any questions about the data, right?"
Everyone at the scene did not speak, expressing their approval.
"Okay, let's take a look at the image of a phone equipped with a light sensor. ”
The large screen was switched and replaced with a static image.
This is a picture of a pink ultra-high-definition peony flower, the color is gorgeous, full, the slender stems on the flower pieces are delicate, the budding stamens make people feel vibrant, and then look at the tip of the flower, there is a delicate drop of dew sticking to it, and even the dust in the dew can be seen with the naked eye.
Such ultra-high-definition pictures, let alone mobile phones, are impossible to shoot even those professional equipment and equipment.
Such an amazing graphics processing technology has attracted many experts and scholars on the scene to exclaim, which company's technology is this?
There are even suspicions that the images have been processed by a computer.
"It's impossible, Adobe doesn't have that kind of technology. ”
"Yes, existing image processing technology simply can't parse such ultra-high-definition pictures. ”
"It must be fake. ”
“......”
Regarding the doubts at the scene, Yao Xin said proudly: "I will answer everyone's questions a little." Now let's see, what is the difference between the photos taken by the same mobile phone?"
OPPOR11S, the iPhonex, Samsung Galaxy, and Huawei mate10 took turns to compare the pictures they took with ordinary camera phones equipped with light sensors.
There are five pictures on the big screen, and the first four are not much different in color and expansion, and if there are any, maybe the iPhone is slightly better than the contrast.
But the fifth one is different, or everyone is not on the same level at all, if you use a picture of 10 points to calculate, OPPO, Samsung, Huawei may shoot 4 points, iPhone has 5 points, and the picture shot by the light sensor is at least 8 points or more.
Many people at the scene couldn't help but stand up, their faces full of shock.
Yao Xin ignored it and said: "This is just the basic ability of the light sensor in terms of graphics processing, and its biggest feature is reflected in the multi-lens motion tracking system." ”
Yao Xin began to demonstrate the capabilities of light sensors for motion tracking.
......
AR augmented reality has long been plagued by the problem of clarity, and now countless scientific research institutions and laboratories around the world are engaged in this research.
And in May, after the relevant instructions of Tianyi's light sensor were transmitted, countless pairs of eyes focused on Tianyi, and they were waiting for Tianyi to announce the specific data of the light sensor.
And today, when the press conference began, many people watched the live video through live cameras.
When the image processing power came out, those who were smoking, drinking tea, and drinking coffee almost choked to death.
"This ...... This can't be!" Jonah, Adobe's chief technology officer, was shocked as he watched the video.
"This ...... This is a technical fraud of Chiguoguo!" Hanselton, president of Bosch China MEMS sensor company and president of the Asia-Pacific region, was furious.
"it...... It's an amazing technique. Wang Tao, the father of DJI drones, was amazed.
However, image processing does not fully reflect the value of the light sensor, and what is really scary is the ability of the light sensor to dynamically track image interpretation.
When Yao Xin showed an AR video with a light sensor, many people couldn't help but scream.
On the demonstration stage, the display of scenes and characters can no longer be described as full, and the feeling of extreme realism makes people mistakenly think that the picture on the demonstration stage is a real display, and even many people can't help but run on the stage.
They were looking around the demo table for possible instruments in order to convince themselves that it was all a "hoax".
However, the demo table is an ordinary tempered glass, there is no "picture enhancer" around it, and there are no instruments and equipment under the countertop, and the AR picture is reflected from the mobile phone.
"It's... It's true!"
"That's amazing!"
“......”
If anyone thinks of cooperation at the first time when they see the demonstration effect, it is Wang Tao, president of DJI.
There are two main reasons restricting the development and growth of UAVs, the first is definitely the mileage, and the second is the picture quality. Even in the minds of many people, the quality of the dynamic picture is much more important than the range.
In Wang Tao's view, Tianyi's dynamic picture technology is undoubtedly tailor-made for drones, and no matter what the cost, DJI must win the first round of cooperation.
"Hey, Secretary Li, book me a plane ticket to Jinling immediately, the sooner the better. ”
Although I knew that the market prospect of light sensors was bright, the market response still exceeded the expectations of Shen Xin, a technical layman. On the afternoon of the end of the press conference of Jinling Science and Technology Museum, Tianyi received more than a dozen letters of intent for cooperation, involving an amount of more than 50 million yuan.
At the same time, when the light sensor press conference was over, the Internet was basically applauded, and the people who were jumping up and down behind the scenes disappeared as if nothing had ever happened before.
......
Finally took the first step on the road of industrialization development, Han Yiming felt five inside.
At 7 p.m. on the 6th and 5th, Tianyi held a grand celebration reception at the InterContinental Hotel in Jinling Greenland.
As the boss of the company, Han Yi naturally had no reason to be absent, and took He Xiaoxiao to make his first appearance in private......
