Chapter 134 The door to a new field
I started immediately after inspiration. A large group of technical men in the research center, and function transplantation is not difficult for them. After resetting the brain wave remote control function, connect it to the VR helmet, and then try to run the software. In the next three days, the temporary interest team was testing.
Three days later, Meng Qian began to experience the effect.
Wear a brain wave remote control device on the head, plus a VR helmet, and run the software.
In front of him was a house with a slightly fake green lawn. Meng Qian's mind conveyed the message of moving forward. With a slight delay, the character stepped forward. He thought to stretch out his hand and pushed the character open the door. He stepped into the house and looked around.
He tested many actions in virtual software, such as moving forward, backward, turning, squatting, etc. The intervention of brain wave manipulation did replace the handle device, greatly enhancing the immersion. However, there are also shortcomings, brain wave control has delays, and complex operations will be incorrect.
Meng Qian said while experiencing it: "Control still needs optimization."
He walked in the room virtually, looking at the paintings on the walls and books on the bookcases, and then said: "The picture needs to be improved, and the refresh rate is the same."
He touched the object in the game: "If you have data gloves, it would be perfect to pass on the touch to me!"
After fifteen minutes of experience, he took off his helmet and felt a little dizzy: "Improving the eyepiece display may be helpful in preventing dizziness."
Jim Johnson recorded: "There are many improvements, and I suggest it is better to set up a special research team and make special funding."
"I will." Meng Qian nodded. His plan was to set up a company.
But now, we have not said that we will complete the basic part first, confirm that there is a prospect, and then start the allocation. The main reason is that he has not obtained a green card, so it is inconvenient to set up a company. VR also requires a big investment. You cannot spend money if you are too impatient. If you are not sure, it will be easy to waste your money.
...
Use his shareholder status as a temporary team.
Brain wave control was originally an AI neurology aspect, and the team was not for VR, but after Meng Qian communicated with the executives, he temporarily switched to VR service. They will optimize the control and improve the sensitivity of the equipment. They will strive for command delays that the experiencer cannot feel.
On the other hand, the eyepiece technology of the VR helmet also needs to be updated. It was originally a single-eye resolution of 640*800, but the picture presented was not good, at least 10*1080 on both eyes. Even higher 2k and 4k, and then increase the refresh frequency and reduce the sense of delay in the picture.
Once again, after entering the virtual environment to experience, Meng Qian's feelings were very different. The delay of brain wave manipulation was greatly reduced, and the accuracy of complex operations was improved. In terms of content, the surrounding environment has been significantly improved with the support of ultra-high resolution.
Meng Qian spent a while to experience and learn the existing technology. With his absorption of future knowledge, he understood the existing technology very quickly. In just a few days, he had formed a concept and officially entered this industry and became a professional.
Then based on the existing basis, he activated the plug-in.
He worked hard to explore content about "virtual reality", and his knowledge included computers, optics, neurology, brain science, etc.... He had theories and experience that were more advanced than any person or institution in the world in virtual reality technology.
In the next ten years, although the technology in more than ten years is not difficult, it has a lot of content, mainly hardware and software.
These two things need to be refined, and the hardware can be divided into eyepieces, displays, inputs and outputs; while the software includes game software, application software, system software, etc.
There are many contents, and Meng Qian needs to solve them the same.
His goal is not to compete with his peers, but to move out the next generation of technology.
First, it is the hardware of the VR device. He threw away the clumsy head-mounted device and excerpted a more streamlined and clever head-mounted device; then he worked on the core display eyepiece, but the single-chip lens was not good. For the display effect, dizziness and other problems, multiple sets of lenses are needed.
Multiple sets of lenses can solve many display and experience problems. In terms of immersion, interactive devices (position tracking, sensing gloves, motion capture, eye tracker) must meet the standards of the next generation; voice systems must meet the mode of the three-dimensional world rather than simple stereo.
Most of the hardware is a concept for the next ten years, more than ten years, but it is not difficult to realize. Even with the current technology, there are many alternatives. In this new field, there are many gaps that can be filled, and one or two excellent creativity can make up for many experience defects.
He drew a lot of drawings, wrote down many ideas, compared with the current technical environment, and burned a lot of them. If these things are obtained by other companies, they will definitely be treated as treasures, because they are all novel and advanced, but he doesn't take them seriously.
Meng Qian, who was cheating, was very willful. He needed to find the coolest and best solution.
His current efficiency in obtaining technology is many times higher than before, especially within 20 or 30 years, which can be quickly absorbed with almost any inspiration.
So when dealing with VR that is more than ten years ahead of him, the only thing that makes him confused is, which one is the coolest one?
This is a kind of happiness.
Meng Qian, who had been in the laboratory for many days, finally chose the most suitable equipment solution.
He then communicated with the team members to discuss aspects that need to be improved.
As it turns out, a person's head is not as comprehensive as a group of people. Johnson said: "If you want to experience excellent and realistic images, you need to use a good hardware platform, but the reality is that, except for a few game enthusiasts, the user's hardware is very average."
Meng Qian also suddenly realized that this was also the key.
Even though VR is very advanced and popular, most users will not upgrade their hardware immediately, which involves cost, energy, etc.
Jim Johnson said: "It is unrealistic to only expect users to upgrade their hardware, so it is necessary to optimize from the software. Excellent engines or systems can also achieve better experience."
Meng Qian thought: "The software functions are limited... it is best to cooperate."
Johnson said again: "The shortcomings of hardware can also be provided by the service provider, such as cloud technology, which allows complex computing and graphics processing to be done without users. You only need to connect to the cloud server on the network, and you will be able to experience the ultimate game picture?"
Meng Qian was inspired: "It's very good!"
"Cloud gaming already has some markets in the United States," Johnson said.
But Meng Qian had another question: "In this way, you have to consider the traffic issue of cloud games, whether it is charged or free? System platform issues, develop it yourself?"
Johnson said: "The cost of cloud services is not low, and I think it is desirable to charge a certain fee. If the funds are sufficient, it is better to develop a system platform. It can optimize the gaming environment, better support cloud services, integrate resources, and enrich user experience."
Meng Qian listened carefully, and Johnson said boldly: "More importantly, VR is a brand new platform, the P platform has made Microsoft, and the mobile platform has made Android and iOS."
"Wait." Meng Qian felt a sudden enlightenment. He confirmed: "You want to say that we not only do hardware, but also have potential under the VR system software?"
Jim nodded: "Yes, as long as our products are excellent. We currently have leading brain wave control technology, the best hardware design, and are already ahead of our peers."
"The remaining software and technology can also be improved." Meng Qian is confident in this regard. After combining the advantages, it means that their products are significantly ahead.
The power of hardware will inevitably drive the development of software. When more and more users and game companies can only rely on this system platform, isn’t they a brand new system giant?
Microsoft, Android, iOS...who will be next?
Meng Qian felt that he had opened the door to a brand new field. (To be continued.)
