Chapter 23 Somatosensory Clothing

(3)

[Good afternoon, thank you to all of you who came to the venue at this unique time on Christmas Eve, I am the person in charge and inventor of the new products announced at this conference, Lyle.]

Before I officially introduce the new product, I would like to take a few minutes to explain my original intention for inventing this product.

Curiosity is one of the driving forces that drive human development.

Primitive people were curious about the stones, vines, and soil around them, so they explored stone tools, rattan tools, and pottery; Ancient people were curious about the world they lived in, so they set sail to start the Age of Discovery; Earlier people were curious about the changes in matter, which led to the discovery of microscopic organisms and the development of alchemy into chemistry; Contemporary people are curious about the space beyond the earth, and in the future, they will surely build a cosmic fortress and explore the infinite galaxy.

And I myself have a great curiosity about one thing at the moment, and that is - thought.

Even the quintuplets who look exactly the same and have a very good relationship end up with different personalities and hobbies, not to mention other people. With the differences in the country of birth, the environment in which they were raised, and their personal experiences, the minds of people who initially stood at the same starting point moved in different directions, and eventually separated themselves from each other by a distance that was difficult to achieve even 'understanding'.

Rest assured, I'm not interested in anything like 'forcing others to agree with my ideas' or 'unifying everyone's minds.'

I don't know what everyone here defines me as, a rich kid, a genius, a businessman, an inventor, a scholar...... My self-proclaimed identity has been just an explorer from the beginning. 】

"What's that? Said a bunch of incomprehensible nonsense. A wealthy man from R country said dumbfounded.

"Father, don't make a noise!"

"Ah~ Explorer, super cool~ Mixia is going to fall in love!"

"Haruka, Mixia, you ......!" There are tears in the eyes of the rich man of country R, no matter how tough he is in front of outsiders, he is just an idiot dad attribute in front of his family.

Yono stepped forward from behind and accosted the two sisters in the front row: "In this case, Miss Mixia is my rival~"

"Snow, Miss Under the Snow, Mixia is just joking." Sister Haruka explained nervously.

"Hey~ Today's high school students like the younger ones more, and I have an advantage over Sister Yang Nai in terms of age." Sister Mixia crossed her waist and said, but it only lasted for three seconds, "I said sister, me and Sister Yono are joking~"

Chunxiang, who was not as simple as the eldest lady, nodded stupidly: "Yes, is that so?" ”

"Hee-hee, what kind of VR game will it be under such an opening statement? Is it a sandbox online game? Mixia took out her phone and began to write about Moments.

"Well, I'm not kidding." Yang Nai left a sentence lightly, leaning forward and returning to its original position, the smile was still the same, but the eyes still exuded horror, "Curiosity - I'm getting more and more curious about you now, little master." ”

"............" Yukino wants to escape from her sister, who has been in this state for a long time.

[That's the end of the opening remarks, now let's introduce the hardware part of the new product.] 】

The lifting platform slowly rises out of the stage,

The equipment that had previously appeared in the laboratory had been improved with a cool design, and it appeared on the stage, with Ichika standing on the left and posing there empty-handed, and Kirino on the right standing with a somatosensory suit.

[In addition to transmitting the body movement signal to the terminal, this somatosensory clothing can also receive signals from the terminal to provide force feedback and temperature feedback to the wearer, which has the disadvantage of being heavy. 】

The three of them knew that countless shots were locked on them at this moment, and began to show the front, north, outside, inside, and details of the somatosensory clothing according to the rehearsal content.

[Although I have abolished the 'beggar's version of the 'beggar's version of the unscrupulous money plan' proposed by the product manager, the body-feeling suit will still be divided into 'normal version', 'competitive version' and 'military version', and the only difference between these three versions is the upper limit of parameters, the upper limit of the normal version will not make the user feel pain and heat, the upper limit of the competitive version will make the user feel pain and slight heat, and the upper limit of the military version will make the user suffer minor injuries and feel hot.

For the safety of consumers, the purchase of the other two versions of the somatosensory suit will require identity verification, which is now explained in the normal version. During the game, players will get a variety of types of feedback signals, for example, players can set their own force feedback ratio, players who like a sense of reality can set it to 100%, which is basically the same as the feeling of holding a weapon in reality, and players who want to reduce physical exertion can set it to 1%, which is almost the feeling of holding a foam sword.

However, some signals are impossible to reproduce completely, such as 'being shot by a bullet', 'being hit by a dragon cart', 'facing a rocket launcher', 'being pressed by the opponent's meteorite', 'falling into the magma', in addition to using software to assist in reducing the discomfort caused by the feedback signal to the player, the more secure and practical protection measure is hardware protection, which cannot output such a huge pressure from the hardware.

In other words, as long as the quality of this ordinary version of the body feeling suit is qualified, it is regularly overhauled, there is no secret finding someone to disassemble it to be rebuilt into a superhuman version that surpasses the military version, and there is no enemy quietly creating a killing trap on it, it is 100% safe. Unlike NERvGear, although we are sorry for the victims of the Death Game incident, NERvGear has announced that it has microwave-emitting components before it is sold, and the staff involved should consider the potential dangers.

Next, Miss Nakano Ichika is asked to try on this ordinary version of the somatosensory suit that is customized according to her body proportions. 】

The three of Kirino in the S position walked over and helped Ichika in the C position put on the somatosensory suit.

Then Ichika stood in the middle of the equipment that was redesigned in appearance, but in the bones it was exactly the same as when Kasuga Ichiban used it that day.

[This terminal is the brain that processes signals, and when connected to it, the player will leave the ground, and with the input of the signal, the player will not only regain the sense of 'down-to-earth', but also greatly reduce the sense of mass of the heavy body clothes...... Of course, this will not change the essence of the game that requires you to move your body, and players who are gasping for breath after running a few steps should spend wisely.

As for the fact that wearing a somatosensory suit causes the movement to be less flexible than in reality, this technical problem will be solved sooner or later...... Oh, sorry, I forgot the product manager's request, for the needs of the product cycle, 'Somatosensory Suit V2.0' I can't develop it too quickly, this Somatosensory Suit will be used for many years, please don't wait for new products, even if I develop the 'Somatosensory Suit V10.0', I will keep it at home. 】

"Poof, Lyle is so funny~ I suddenly want to see the product manager's face~" The girls laughed happily.

However.

"Shot by a bullet! Hit by a dragon cart and flying! ”

"Face to bazooka! Fall into the lava! ”

"Suppressed by the opponent's meteorite!"

“…… Damn, I really want to play games with somatosensory suits! "The focus of the otaku is completely different from this group of girls who don't play games.

This time, though, they're not in the minority! This is the launch of VR game peripherals, and it is the mainstream that climaxes with them!

"Why am I a fat nerd!" The fat house feels the deep malice of this way of playing.

"It's okay," the other otaku comforted, "Isn't there still NERvGear?" If you improve it in the future and improve the safety, you will definitely be able to use it. ”

The fat house cried and said, "Are you sure? How do I remember replying to Lyle's concerns in the same way that I was with people? ”

"Uh......"
