Chapter 474 Do a Metaverse Concert (3/3 Monthly Pass)
"Really, I didn't know that Xiaoai Company has so many great products. I have bought your smart speakers before, an early version, for use in the dormitory, and then my roommate bought your sweeping robot.
, Yes, I have also used your beauty camera software. I didn’t expect you to even make drones and real cameras now!”
On the way to the hotel, Dai Yuni was filled with emotion.
She was the happiest person to watch the exhibition today. After all, Yang Qian, an old antique, besides repeatedly studying the sound quality of the speakers, was not as interested in other things as Dai Yuni, nor was he as lively and supportive as Dai Yuni.
"Cameras are products that have accumulated technology over the years. There is still a gap between them and well-known foreign brands, but we always have to catch up. If we give us a few more years, it should not be a big problem to catch up with them!"
Yang Yan was very confident.
"Actually, many of our company's technologies have been accumulated step by step, but many of them are already at the leading level in the industry! Like the beauty camera software you mentioned, Xiao Dai, in fact, you may not know that Yang Yan used to do face recognition.
, the face recognition technology currently used in the Public Security Bureau’s Skynet system was developed by him back then, and he still conducts technical exchanges with the Ministry of Public Security every year.”
Lei Zhentian drove the car and talked happily.
Although Xiaoai Company has become very big now and has several R&D departments for different product lines, Yang Yan is still the technical director of their company. He is a master in the eyes of all technical staff. He is also the envy of other companies but will never
Big treasure that may be poached!
"The birth of the beauty camera is indeed the result of the accumulation of facial recognition technology. However, the two technologies are actually very different. The reason why the beauty camera becomes more and more useful in the future is actually because everyone is using it.
, the system is also constantly learning and analyzing, which direction everyone tends to retouch pictures, and what type of beauty effects they like, these are the key."
Yang Yan smiled.
"Big data, I understand!"
Dai Yuni's eyes lit up.
"It cannot be completely regarded as big data. It is actually a problem of AI algorithms..."
Dai Yuni couldn't understand what Yang Yan said anymore. She still liked Lei Zhentian's way of explaining, so that most people could understand it.
But next, it was Yang Yan who gave the main lecture. Especially after arriving at the hotel, he began to introduce a plan he had conceived to Yang Qian.
"Currently, many large technology companies at home and abroad have begun to deploy the Metaverse. Although it was a topic that was hyped by capital last year, it is undeniable that it is indeed an important direction for our technological development."
Of course, Yang Yan discussed it with his partner Lei Zhentian first, so Lei Zhentian sat aside and nodded constantly.
"The layout plan of the Metaverse has been carried out in our Xiaoai company for more than two years. I have now directly led a team to do relevant research, but there are no technical results that can be released to the outside world yet."
"The main problem is still the entry point of our products. Many companies mainly consider it from the social level, and want to make products similar to Kuokou or WeChat on the track of the Metaverse. But social software
, First of all, our company’s personnel reserves and operating experience in this area are very insufficient compared to some old companies!”
After all, Xiaoai Company is not a company that started out as a social software company!
"Secondly, the competition in this field is unprecedentedly fierce. There are many big companies and a lot of money pouring into it. Unless we also burn money together, it will be difficult to achieve results. It can be said that it is not that we cannot do it, but
If this is the case, it really goes against our original intention of making good products!”
Although Yang Yan and his company have gone public, they have still maintained their original aspirations over the years and have not been carried away by the craze of capital. The two founders, Yang Yan and Lei Zhentian, are rare sober and have not reduced their holdings so far.
of stocks.
This is why Xiaoai Company has a good reputation in China, and even Dai Yuni’s father Dai Zhenhong recognizes these two young entrepreneurs.
It has nothing to do with money, it’s just a matter of sympathy for each other in terms of business philosophy!
"I went to see Yang Qian's concert yesterday, and I thought of a good entry point that would allow us to make good products and build an ecology. That is music performances, or we can broaden the scope to include music.
Pan-entertainment performances including drama, cross talk, talk show and other art types!”
After Yang Yan finished speaking, he saw that Yang Qian and Dai Yuni still looked confused, so he gave them an example to explain.
"For example, when we listen to music now, we mainly listen to it on our mobile phones, on TV, or at concerts, right?"
"Yes, actually it's not just concerts. There are now many music venues, such as music festivals, livehouses, and some bars, Qingba."
Yang Qian nodded.
"Well, I still have to find time to investigate these things later. But I think, taking the concert as an example, there will actually be a lot of audiences who would like to come and watch it live, but due to other factors such as distance or ticket purchase restrictions, there is no way.
It can come because many concerts have been canceled due to the epidemic in the past few years. Some singers can only choose to live broadcast online and hold concerts on WeChat or short video platforms."
What Yang Yan said was true, Yang Qian and Dai Yuni both nodded with emotion.
This is indeed the case. The epidemic situation last year was still recurring, and the Cherry Music Festival was canceled twice after December.
It was not until 2022, that is, the end of this year, that the epidemic was gradually brought under control. At least people's lives in China were no longer affected, and music and entertainment life slowly recovered. (Note 1)
"So we would like to think about whether we can make two sets of equipment. One set is used to collect the singer's images, sounds and a lot of dynamic information. The other set is a personal terminal. For example, Yang Qian, your fans, can
Through such a terminal, you can watch your concert performance in real time!"
"But it is worth mentioning that the viewing effect of our terminal is not like a mobile phone with a smaller screen. It should be like the viewing experience at the scene, using virtual reality technology to reproduce the feeling of a concert venue.
It feels like the singer is still so far away, you can feel his real presence.
See the surrounding environment and other audience reactions. Similarly, the cheers and applause of each audience can also be transmitted to the singer simultaneously through virtual reality technology, allowing the singer to get very good positive feedback, instead of like now
It’s like this kind of live broadcast, the singer is singing and entertaining himself!”
Yang Yan actually wants to use technical means to bring everyone into a virtual venue so that everyone can watch performances, whether they are concerts, cross talk, dramas, talk shows, etc.
This has the advantage of breaking through the limitations of space and the number of people, allowing more people to enjoy such a wonderful performance at a small cost!
It can be said to be a live broadcast that combines virtuality and reality in the metaverse!
(Note 1: It is not a prophecy, two different worlds, but it can also be regarded as a good wish from Xiaohan! It is so difficult for all walks of life and friends everywhere under the epidemic!)
