Chapter 4 I don't use sensors

Yuan Lin showed an embarrassed expression and said, "It's not that I'm hiding it from you, it's just that even if I say it, you won't understand it..."

Do not understand...

Xia Qiuyu instantly said with a black face: "If you don't tell the truth, will you die?" Yuan Lin, Yuan Lin, after so many years, you still haven't changed at all, no wonder you haven't had a girlfriend. ”

Yuan Lin said with a sincere face: "Shouldn't you be a man and seek truth from facts? It is also true that you have never been exposed to cutting-edge computer technologies such as optical algorithms and fuzzy variable algorithms when you study financial management. ”

"As for my girlfriend, I've never been worried, as long as the time is ripe, my wife and children will naturally have it."

When he said this, Yuan Lin was full of confidence, because he had already received accurate information from the future, and in history, he was not a single dog.

So Yuan Lin made up his mind, waiting for historical events to happen naturally, how troublesome things like chasing girls are, it is better to wait for the rabbit and wait for his wife and children to fall from the sky.

Cut~

Wife and children will naturally have?

The devil believes in you.

Xia Qiuyu glanced at Yuan Lin, did not continue to argue with him, and instead stared at Yuan Lin's mobile phone.

Everywhere the camera passes, whether it's a waiter pushing a food cart or a few young girlfriends whispering.

Everything that happens in reality is captured by the program and turned into a three-dimensional animation in the mobile phone, the picture is smooth and natural, and the light and shadow switching is fast and accurate, as if Xia Qiuyu did not live in reality, but entered the virtual world.

The virtual world...

Xia Qiuyu was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered the scene in the movie highlights of the Lord of the Rings, where the cosplayer of Gollum was wearing a green tights, his whole body was full of countless sensors, and he struggled to do various actions in front of the camera.

A world-renowned director like Peter Jackson still encountered many difficulties, and he had to spend a lot of money and build countless special equipment to achieve more perfect motion capture.

Why can Yuan Lin's applet, just use a mobile phone and a few ordinary cameras, to run so smoothly?

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Thinking of this, Xia Qiuyu stood up and stroked his long hair.

……

Da Da ...

Xia Qiuyu was wearing high heels and dialed the assistant's phone as he walked in the direction of the bathroom.

"Help me look it up."

"If you want to achieve perfect motion capture, what equipment is needed, how much does it cost, and what are the main suppliers in the world."

"Yes, now."

Xia Qiuyu's voice was cold and capable, and when she put down the phone, she turned on the faucet and washed her hands, and touched up her makeup in the mirror.

Looking at herself dressed as a mature woman in the mirror, Xia Qiuyu suddenly remembered the summer when she met Yuan Lin, when she was only thirteen years old, thin, less than Yuan Lin's shoulders, and went to a strange city, Chongqing, alone.

Having money is a lucky thing, but just having money doesn't bring you security.

Even if Principal Wang is no more, he is still pinched to death every minute, and the social account says that if it is not, there is no room for resistance.

Now, Xia Qiuyu finally understands that her parents suddenly sent her to the strange Chongqing, not because they didn't love her, but to protect her and keep her away from the whirlpool at the core of the struggle.

It's a pity that Xia Qiuyu was too young at that time to understand these things at all, she felt that she was thrown into a city full of hillsides and was left out in the cold, so she ran out of her cousin's house in anger and ran to the riverside wharf, and happened to meet Yuan Lin who lived nearby...

For Xia Qiuyu, Yuan Lin is a special friend.

When he grew up, Xia Qiuyu found that the people around him more or less wanted to get something from him, but Yuan Lin didn't.

They are in completely different classes, live in different cities, and have different trajectories of life growth.

This is also the reason why Xia Qiuyu was so angry just now.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Lin actually asked her to invest, and like those people, he wanted to get something from himself, so that the friendship between Pingshui and Pingshui became less simple.

Just thinking about it, Xia Qiuyu's phone rang, and it was an assistant calling.

"Got it all figured out?" Xia Qiuyu answered the phone and said.

"Well, I consulted the senior brother of Fudan for this purpose, and also found an agent in the capital, and finally investigated clearly." The assistant said nervously.

"Get straight to the point." Xia Qiuyu frowned slightly, feeling that the assistant's speech was too long-winded.

Don't look at Xia Qiuyu's age, but he is a strict and resolute person at work.

"Yes, yes, yes...", the assistant sped up his speech.

Listening to the news on the phone, Xia Qiuyu's eyes were puzzled at first, and then gradually turned into shock.

"So expensive?" Xia Qiuyu exclaimed after hearing the offer.

The assistant explained: "It's already cheap, German suppliers are in the third echelon in the field of motion capture, and North American neon suppliers are 50% higher." ”

"After all, if you want to achieve motion capture, you not only need a large number of high-precision sensors, but also need powerful algorithm assistance, not to mention the cost of software, just high-precision inertial sensors, tracking sensors, gyroscopes, all of which are expensive imports."

"My brother at Fudan told me that they make motion capture equipment for autonomous driving, and a set of motion capture equipment for car driving costs tens of millions of dollars, and other cheaper solutions are not impossible, but they are far from being smooth."

"All in all, in the professional field of motion capture, the number and accuracy of sensors are the top priority, and the more sensors there are, the higher the accuracy, the better the effect."

"Mr. Xia, I heard you describe, since your friend has made a very smooth motion capture product, he must have used a huge number of sensors, right?"

"We should be cautious about this kind of investment, high fluency means high cost, we are not a problem to invest in technology-based entrepreneurs, the problem is that high-cost domestic solutions, is there any competitiveness?"

"After all, most people are still used to purchasing Western technology, even if the price is more expensive, they don't care, and this mindset cannot be changed in the short term."

For a moment, Xia Qiuyu felt as if her brain had crashed, and the motion capture technology that the assistant said seemed to be a bit different from the technology brought by Yuan Lin.

"Is it possible to achieve smooth motion capture without the use of sensors and gyroscopes?" Xia Qiuyu asked tentatively.

"Impossible." The assistant replied categorically: "Not to mention high-standard commercial equipment, which of those VR game experience halls in the mall does not need to wear equipment, and a set of pulleys are fixed under the feet?" ”

"Without high-precision sensors, we can only reconstruct the action model through optical capture and analysis of light and shadow changes."

"As far as I know, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, these giants that have decided to join the metaverse war, they are all engaged in optical motion capture technology, in order to lower the threshold of virtual reality and build a second home on earth."

"It's a pity that they have spent a lot of money, but the results are lackluster, so far, the real combat motion capture equipment, without exception, are using sensors, pure optical motion capture technology is still in various laboratories."

After a full minute of suffocating silence, Xia Qiuyu woke up like a dream and said, "Continue to investigate all the information related to motion capture technology, I'll hang up first." ”

"Wait Mr. Xia." The assistant stopped her at the last minute and asked, "Can you tell us how many sensors your friend used to implement motion capture technology?" What is the sensor model? In this way, I can easily compare the technology with the major suppliers around the world and evaluate the value of the investment. ”

How many sensors are used?

Xia Qiuyu's wrist trembled slightly, bit his lip lightly and said, "I don't know the specific technical details, but he seems to... No sensors. ”
