It wasn't until Yuan Lin had gnawed the fat tomahawk steak on the plate that Xia Qiuyu returned to his seat and looked at Yuan Lin with a strange look.

"Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face? Yuan Lin said as he wiped his face with a napkin.

Xia Qiuyu shook his head slightly, "No, I just suddenly feel that you don't seem to be the same as in the past." ”

"What's the difference?" Yuan Lin shrugged, "By the way, that... I was afraid that the steak would taste bad when it was cold, so I didn't wait for you and ate it myself, so you won't be angry, right? ”

Xia Qiuyu looked at a messy dining table and didn't say anything, while her brain was thinking quickly.

For technical things, he is a layman after all, although Yuan Lin's optical motion capture technology looks very shocking, but it is best to find a professional to judge whether it is worth investing.

The assistant has already contacted the relevant experts, and it is estimated that there will be news soon.

Xia Qiuyu frowned and asked seriously: "Using an optical camera for motion capture, is it really your original technology?" ”

As a friend, Xia Qiuyu hopes that Yuan Lin can achieve something, but at the same time, she is also afraid that the truth will disappoint her.

In the circle of venture capital, there are many examples of cheating for profit, and the most famous example is Elizabeth Holmes, who is known as the female version of Jobs.

The sisters relied on their trickery to found Theranos, a blood testing company valued at $9 billion at its peak, and she also topped Forbes with a net worth of $4.5 billion, becoming the world's youngest self-made female billionaire.

Even cunning beings like Kissinger and Murdoch were deceived by Elizabeth's classmates, and she almost single-handedly subverted the investment rules of the investment circle for technology entrepreneurs.

Now everyone is cautious and cautious when investing in scientific and technological innovation companies, without 100% certainty, and resolutely does not pay money.

"Yes."

"From project initiation to programming to test packets, I did every step myself."

Yuan Lin replied categorically, without the slightest hesitation.

The system not only simulated the development of this technology, but also loaded all the technical data and research and development process into Yuan Lin's memory center, making it truly a knowledge that he fully mastered, so he was naturally full of confidence when he spoke.

Xia Qiuyu bowed slightly, feeling a little relieved, she looked out the window and said, "In that case, I'll take you to meet an expert later, and ask him to evaluate the gold content of this technology, there should be no problem, right?" ”

When the words fell, Xia Qiuyu observed Yuan Lin, only to see Yuan Lin frowning, and suddenly a bad premonition rose in her heart.

"You don't want to face industry experts? Are you afraid that your skills will not stand the test? Xia Qiuyu hurriedly asked.

Yuan Lin shook his head and said lightly, "As far as I know, in the field of optical motion capture, several of the really top experts are in the capital, and I'm worried that you may not be able to find the right people locally, even if you barely find them, they may not be able to understand them." ”

……

After lunch, Xia Qiuyu drove his mini car and galloped away in the direction of Southern University of Science and Technology.

The assistant told her that Professor Fang Weixin from Tsinghua University happened to be in Shenzhen, and that he had agreed to meet Xia Qiuyu and Yuan Lin, accompanied by several scholars from Southern University of Science and Technology.

Xia Qiuyu told Yuan Lin about this, and Yuan Lin didn't have even the slightest stage fright, just nodded slightly, leaned against the window of the mini car, and held his chin in a daze.

In fact, Yuan Lin was not in a daze, but entered the simulation system to check the progress of research and development.

After completing the optical motion capture, Yuan Lin did not let the system sit idle, and set more R&D tasks for her in one go, striving to master a full set of virtual reality as soon as possible, and then a complete metaverse solution.

Although these technologies are still difficult to promote in the short term, Yuan Lin feels that it is always wrong to build a science and technology reserve in advance.

In a short time, the red mini car drove into the campus of Southern University of Science and Technology.

Because he had said hello in advance, a young man who looked like a graduate student was waiting in the parking lot early, and when he saw Xia Qiuyu, he took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello, it's Miss Xia, right?"

"I am."

"Okay, please go this way, Professor Fang Weixin is waiting for you."

"Well, thank you." Xia Qiuyu smiled and thanked him.

……

In an office, several old men who looked like professors were drinking tea together, and the slightly wealthy old man in the center was Professor Fang Weixin from Tsinghua University, who seemed to be a little excited at the moment.

Professor Fang Weixin said: "As we all know, the world's No. 1 in the field of optical motion capture is the North American Demon God Company, and we also have excellent companies such as Noitom and Virtual Dynamic Point to participate in the competition, but after all, the technology accumulation is not enough, and the foundation is relatively thin, not to mention giants like the North American Demon God, even if Denmark ROKOKO, Broken Island HTC, we can't compare technically." ”

At this time, a professor who is not in the field of motion capture asked questions: "Lao Fang, I remember that HTC didn't make mobile phones?" Why did you go to the field of motion capture again? ”

Fang Weixin said: "HTC in the mobile phone field has long been out of play, they are not Apple's opponents, nor are they Xiaomi and OV's opponents, and finally had to package and sell the mobile phone business as a whole to Google." ”

"Although the mobile phone business failed miserably, in the field of motion capture, or virtual reality, HTC's strength is still considerable, whether it is VR equipment, deep sense camera, infrared camera, they have been involved, and have a very close cooperation with Facebook in North America."

"In short, in the field of motion capture, especially in the field of optical motion capture, the North American Demon God ranks first, leaving the second and third places far away, almost a monopoly."

"Recently, the North American Demon God set up a 24-camera studio in the capital, and I approached them with a learning attitude, and I was ready to rent their studio for use to see for myself what kind of height their technology has reached."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, the most afraid of doing scientific research behind closed doors, only by understanding the opponent can we make better progress, Fang Weixin's idea is very reasonable.

"And guess what?" Professor Fang Weixin was angry and helpless and said: "After asking, I learned that the rent of the Demon God's 24-camera studio is actually calculated by the second!" ”

"By the second? That's too much of an exaggeration, right? ”

"I don't know how much a second is? It's supposed to be quite expensive, right? ”

The professors asked one after another, and then saw Fang Weixin raise three fingers and said, "Three hundred yuan a second, eighteen thousand a minute, one million and eighty thousand an hour!" ”

"One hundred and eighty thousand in an hour!?"

"This North American company is crazy, isn't it?"

"I can't afford to rent, it's too expensive."

"Luckily, I'm doing theoretical physics, so it doesn't cost much money."

The professors were amazed that the cost of optical motion capture was so expensive, and the rent was unimaginably high for an optical motion capture studio.

Fang Weixin sighed and said: "No way, who makes people's technology unique, this is the value of top technology." ”

"You don't see those Hollywood blockbusters, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, and a large part of them is given to high-tech companies like Demon God."

"More important than making movies is the field of automotive autonomous driving, and optical motion capture is also very much needed as technical support, but because the key technology is monopolized by a few companies, it has not been developed for a long time.

After listening to Professor Fang Weixin's words, everyone sighed that the monopoly of science and technology is a superweapon that is more terrible than war.

"That's why you want to meet the girl from the Xia family?" A professor asked.

Fang Weixin nodded and said: "Guangxia Investment Group is a relatively powerful enterprise in China, and the heirs of their family are interested in the field of science and technology, which is not a bad thing, and I am also willing to help them, after all, scientific research is ultimately about the economy, and it is necessary to burn a lot of money." ”

"Only by raising the treatment of scientific researchers, from the national team to private capital at any cost, is the only way out, not only to spend less money, but also to improve the level of science and technology, but also to break the monopoly of science and technology, this kind of talk is completely nonsense, is a fool's dream!"

"That's right!"

"Researchers are working too hard, and the salary should indeed be improved."

Fang Weixin's words were unanimously agreed by the professors present, and at this moment, Xia Qiuyu and Yuan Lin just knocked on the door and walked into the office.

"You're Xia Weicheng's granddaughter, right?" Fang Weixin looked at Xia Qiuyu and asked.

"Well, hello Professor Fang, my name is Xia Qiuyu." Xia Qiuyu said.

Fang Weixin waved his hand, "Don't be so polite, I have seen your grandfather and father, Guangxia Group is very discerning in investing in several major laboratories in Beijing, and it will definitely be rewarded in the future." ”

"I've heard that you're now interested in the field of optical motion capture?"

Xia Qiuyu nodded, she knew that Fang Weixin's time was precious, and she was going to return to the capital tonight, so she got straight to the point and said: "That's right, we have a small program, I want you to take a look." ”

Oh~

"What kind of applet? What field are you going to apply to? Fang Weixin asked.

In terms of technical matters, Xia Qiuyu was a layman after all, so he looked at Yuan Lin for help.

"Short video field." Yuan Lin explained: "This algorithm is called chasing light, and it is very versatile, but the current version is specially developed for Douyin and Kuaishou, which can seamlessly integrate dance or skits into 3D animation scenes, which has a good appeal to young people." ”

Yuan Lin is telling the truth, he has not considered such tall application scenarios as autonomous driving, but in the end he decided to start from a more down-to-earth field, first introduce optical motion capture technology into the short video industry, and attract little brothers and sisters who love to take selfies.

Tik Tok?

Quick worker?

I'm a great professor at Tsinghua University, and you're going to let me see these things?

Professor Fang Weixin's old face sank, and he felt bad at that time.

However, in the next second, his eyes were attracted by a small screen, and he could no longer look away.

"Professor Fang, you see this is the plug-in I designed specifically for Douyin." Yuan Lin said, while holding his mobile phone to Dao Fang Weixin's side and said: "The function is very simple, capture the movements captured by the mobile phone camera, convert them in real time, and load the preset three-dimensional scene. ”

"At present, the number of users of short video software in the world has exceeded 2 billion, not too much, as long as one thousandth of them like our small plug-in, it is also a huge business."

"By the way, this plug-in can also rely on zooming in to capture the changes in facial expressions in real time, and transfer everyone's joys, sorrows, and sorrows to the three-dimensional animation image through digital means, you see, it's very interesting."

Yuan Lin worked very hard to explain the strong competitiveness of the light-chasing algorithm in the field of short videos, but at the same time, Professor Fang Weixin's heart had already set off turbulent waves.

Real-time motion capture, seamless throughout!

It's so powerful!

It's really powerful!

Yuan Lin only used a mobile phone, but the final effect was no less than that of a professional device that cost tens of millions of dollars, and it was even smoother than expensive professional equipment.

As the top researcher in this field, Fang Weixin dares to swear with his honor, and now it is the most realistic optical motion capture effect he has ever seen in his life!

Fang Weixin was excited, desperately grabbed Yuan Lin's right hand and flipped it to the back, trying to figure out what kind of powerful device this was, which could run so smoothly.

However, when he finally saw the old phone, he was completely stunned.

"Redmi!"

"No, it's actually redmi!?"

It's not Apple, which has the strongest computing power, and it's not even Xiaomi's flagship model, but an ordinary Redmi phone that is only worth about 2,000 yuan!

Oh, my God...

The professor was stunned.
