Chapter 787

Chen Mo didn't pay attention to how many annual games "the end of America" took. He is now in Zhou Jiangping's office, discussing new equipment with Zhou Jiangping and Lehui's designers.

"These are the three new design drafts of our designers. What do you think, Mr. Chen?" Asked Zhou Jiangping.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I can't do it. I don't know where I am."

All three designers are a little confused.

They also just received Zhou Jiangping's task to design a new device for small consciousness reading device. The time is very tight, so the three men designed a piece of equipment respectively, and then showed it to Zhou Jiangping.

These three designers designed the same thing, because this design itself has certain limitations.

The new small consciousness reading device is slightly larger than the pulsating bottle cap and has the same thickness. And there is a limit to this thing, which is that it must be close to the user's head to accurately read the awareness signal, so it is unlikely to make a mobile phone with mind control.

These three designers basically have the same idea, they are all portable.

After all, Lehui is a manufacturer specializing in mobile phones, so designers at least advocate simple and convenient design. There are three design schemes, two are headwear equipment and one is backpack equipment.

Scenario 1 is a circular eyeglass, awareness reading device behind the player's head. The whole front-end glasses are all transparent, with a simple operating system, which can be connected to the mobile phone through Bluetooth, and users can use it to browse the web, send messages and chat, etc. So we made an external device to realize the function of brain wave controlling mobile phone.

Scheme 2 is a helmet, basically covering half of the player's head, similar to the VR helmet Chen Mo has seen before. This device can present a complete virtual vision for players like the game cabin, and can play some simple VR games. However, its performance is far worse than that of the VR game cabin. After all, it's just that the awareness reading device has shrunk, and other configurations have not shrunk, so the performance of this thing is basically a little better than that of the high configuration mobile phone. "VR anytime, anywhere" is just a gimmick.

Scheme 3 is a bit silly. Players are still wearing VR helmets, but they are connected with other devices through wires. Players can carry a host device slightly larger than a laptop on their back, and can simulate VR games with relatively low configuration. The image and quality are the level of high-end PC games. But the problem is that it must be heavy on your back.

Just like in Chen Mo's previous life, most of the game books are only desktops that are easy to move. Players usually don't carry these game books around because they are really heavy.

Scheme 1 obviously wants to develop a kind of accessories to support mobile phones, while scheme 2 and scheme 3 want to tentatively move towards VR game devices.

Lehui is mainly engaged in mobile phones, but in recent years, its business has gradually expanded to smart home and personal computers, and there are plans to march towards VR game cabin.

After all, in the parallel world, VR game cabin is the peak of high-end digital equipment, and no one is not jealous of the profits in it.

But, after all, it's the technology industry that specializes in. It took Lehui many years to get a foothold in the mobile phone market. It's not so smooth to make a PC. as for the VR game cabin, it's not so good at all.

The designers of scheme 2 and scheme 3 obviously hope to take this opportunity to try water in VR field.

However, after a brief look, Chen Mo found that none of the three schemes was very reliable. It's not that the level of these three designers is not good, but their positioning of new products is not clear enough.

Zhou Jiangping was not angry and said happily: "then, Mr. Chen, tell me, which direction should the equipment go this time? It's also a lesson for my designers. "

Chen Mo said: "obviously, if this device is only used as a mobile phone accessory, the pattern is too small, but if it is used as a VR, the performance will not be achieved at all. Therefore, the most appropriate solution should be to do Mr, mixed reality. "

Zhou Jiangping was shocked: "mixed reality? This concept Has it been out of date for a long time? "

Chen Mo smiled and said, "it's really out of date for a long time, but it will be back on fire soon."

……

At first, virtual reality technology has three branches, namely VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality) and MR (hybrid reality).

The concepts of AR and MR have something in common, so they are often confused. In short, they are all inserting information into the player's real vision, superimposing virtual objects and scenes into the real scene, so as to enhance the reality and let the player experience the real and magic effects.

But in the parallel world, the development of VR is much better than that of Mr.

At the beginning, some R & D companies were developing Mr devices, and later they all went to VR, so the concept was ignored.

Because VR has conscious reading technology, game cabin and a large number of game companies' support, it can bring players a game experience close to "soul wear". MR can not provide exciting game experience for players, or even read consciousness information, so it gradually faded out of people's vision.After all, the premise of AR and MR is portability. To invest virtual objects in real scenes, the premise is that players go out of their homes and go to more real places.

So, after hearing that he has developed a micro awareness reading device, Chen Mo's first reaction is that Mr's opportunity has come.

Chen Mo said to Zhou Jiangping, "I'll send you a design draft. Have a look."

Zhou Jiangping opens the design manuscript sent by Chen Mo on the computer.

The first reaction is that it's a bit similar to scenario 1. But after a careful look at the design, Zhou realized that this is totally different from the "Bluetooth glasses" in plan 1.

From the appearance point of view, the front of the device is a full coverage glasses, which fits perfectly and can basically cover all the players' vision. There is a micro HD camera on the front, which is used to take the vision in front of the player.

The back of the device is also a circular structure covering the back of the player's head and ears. Behind the left ear is the awareness acquisition device, which can read the players' awareness signals. Behind the right ear is the operation module. Players can click the key here or make some inconvenient operations of awareness signals with specific gestures.

There are earphones on the device, and it's a surround effect. Headphones can be turned on or off. When turned on, players can not only hear the sound in the headphones, but also choose to mask the sound in the surrounding environment, which has a good sound insulation effect.

From the aspect of appearance design, it's cool and full of sense of technology. It's very similar to the glasses worn by spaceship pilots in many science fiction movies. And it's not as bloated as a helmet, at least it won't hurt your neck.
