An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 443 The boundary between virtual and reality

Yunmeng Technology.

Institute of Brain-Computer Interface.

With a unique eyepiece, a man in a plaid shirt stood in the center of the laboratory. Although he couldn't see his eyes, the changes in his facial muscles, body movements, and violently oscillating brainwave signals on the monitor could still intuitively reflect the shock in his heart at this moment.

"Unbelievable... Where am I...?"

"My world," Hao Yun, who was standing not far away and also wearing an eyepiece, replied softly, "You just need to touch it with your consciousness and imagine how you would move those blocks to change their positions. "

The man standing there at the moment is none other than Yang Lei, the chief engineer of Rice Group.

When Lin Jun was in contact with Dami Group, many senior executives of Dami Group expressed doubts about this device called "Dream-1", doubting whether Yunmeng Group is really capable of making such a miraculous thing.

Therefore, Yang Lei was sent here for investigation.

Facts have proved that Yunmeng Group not only did not exaggerate, but even described it a bit conservatively.

Looking at the squares made of pixels, changing their positions in the space under the control of his "mind", Yang Lei's heart was full of shock.

"This is definitely an epoch-making research... Do you know what it means?" Taking a deep breath, Yang Lei took off the eyepiece from his head and continued, "Not just games, but the application scenarios I can think of, at least There are more than twenty."

"I haven't thought about it that much for the time being, at least for now we've only studied the application scenario of games," Hao Yun smiled lightly, and continued softly, "And don't you think games are a very good way for people to accept new things?" Is it a good way?"

"I agree with this point of view." Yang Lei nodded, returned the eyepiece in his hand to the staff on the side, looked at Hao Yun seriously and continued, "But... why is it only AR? In my opinion, whether it is AR or VR, the compatibility of this technology can be perfectly controlled. We can even cooperate to develop a set of peripherals, allowing users to directly operate a series of devices such as mobile phones, PCs, and even smart home appliances through ideas. "

Listening to Yang Lei talking endlessly with a delicate expression, Hao Yun coughed lightly and said.

"We... are just an Internet company after all. Although the things you said sound interesting, our energy is really limited. Moreover, the main research direction of this research institution is brain-computer interface technology. This set of brain wave collection And modem technology is just a by-product of research."

Mobile phones, PCs, smart home appliances...

At least for Yunmeng Group, these things still sound a little too far away.

But at this moment, Lin Jun who was standing aside suddenly spoke.

"I do have an idea."

Yang Lei and Hao Yun looked at him in unison.

Being watched by the two, Lin Jun smiled embarrassedly and continued.

"It's just a half-baked suggestion... Actually, we can try to develop an operating system that is compatible with a range of smart devices, including smartphones and smart appliances, and then connect these devices to our platform."

Yang Lei's eyes lit up, and he asked.

"Is it technically possible?"

"It's useless for you to ask me...but I think it should be possible." Lin Jun looked at Hao Yun for help, and Hao Yun also expressed a look of confusion, so he could only look at Wu who was standing by the side and hadn't participated in the topic. sail.

Seeing the boss looking at him, Wu Fan thought for a moment, and said with some embarrassment.

"It's not impossible in theory..."

Artificial intelligence is originally one of the sub-development projects of the Brain-Computer Interface Research Institute, and it has made considerable progress so far. Especially the "Zero" running in the supercomputing center, sometimes Wu Fan even felt that this guy was almost perfect, and sometimes he knew himself better than the people who studied it.

"Then I'm counting on you." Looking at Wu Fan and nodding his head, Hao Yun continued to look at Yang Lei who was standing beside him, "We will study the things you said later... about the device 'Dream-1' , do you have any questions?"

"No more." Yang Lei shook his head and said with a smile, "To be honest, today's harvest is beyond my expectation... It's a pity that I can't take the samples back directly, or the board of directors will definitely be more surprised than me. "

In fact, Yang Lei still has a lot of questions to ask about how Yunmeng Group realizes this technology, but this is not an occasion to exchange technology.

After the cooperation between Rice Group and Yunmeng Group starts, he still has a lot of time to discuss this issue with the researchers of the Brain-Computer Interface Institute.

Not only the acquisition and modulation and demodulation of brain waves, he even has a strong interest in the "non-invasive" brain-computer interface technology itself studied here.

His intuition tells him that this technology will completely change the way people live in the next era, just like the smartphone has changed their lives.

So that for a moment, Yang Lei even had the idea of ​​joining Yunmeng Technology.

However, he was just thinking about it in his heart.

After all, even if it is not for the tens of millions of stock options, the non-compete agreement on him does not make it impossible for him to switch to other companies.

Yang Lei left, Lin Jun drove him off.

Hao Yun did not leave the laboratory immediately, but continued to put on the "dream-1" eyes, and activated the previously tested I am the world AR version.

In fact, when the grid composed of pixels fills the entire space, the optical effects in the eyepiece have already covered all the real objects, and it has begun to change from augmented reality to virtual reality.

If the optical rendering effect can be further enhanced, will it become AR and VR dual-use glasses?

Hao Yun suddenly had such an idea in his heart.

However, upgrading hardware equipment is not something he wants to consider now. What he is thinking about now is how to improve the game Minecraft so that it can better adapt to the AR platform.

In fact, in the previous life, there were quite a few games based on augmented reality technology. For example, the most popular game was probably a game that collected elves.

Although Hao Yun can't remember the specific details of these games, in his impression, there is also an AR game in Minecraft, and he also participated in a "building a public community space" initiated by UN-Habitat. "plan of.

Although the game was eventually shut down due to the epidemic and other reasons, the gameplay of integrating virtual and reality is quite interesting, and it is naturally suitable for promoting this peripheral called "Dream-1".

"The venue of the game must be limited to an open space."

"It could be the user's home, or it could be a public area that is accessible and does not impede traffic."

"There are two main ways to obtain game resources, one is to collect, and the other is to explore treasure chests...Of course, you can also recharge."

"Each player can occupy a sand table space of 8X8m. After membership, it can be upgraded to 16X16m to reach the maximum value. Afterwards, the scope of the sand table can be further expanded by sharing the space with other players online."

"In addition to AR glasses, it can also be operated through mobile APP..."

After recording these new rules in the development log, Hao Yun smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

"The beta version will tentatively set these contents."

Although I don't know if players will like this gameplay, but his self-feeling is quite good.
