Future Super Intelligent System

With a new direction, Liu Fan didn't write anything, and returned to the company after sending Xu Jing and He Lin home. Liu Fan didn’t pay much attention to virtual reality before. He can only say that he has a concept, and he has also learned about artificial intelligence + virtual reality. However, after a night of research, he found that the market seems to be a bit cold now. .

The problem that virtual reality is facing now is a bit... How should I put it, it feels cool and comprehensive, it doesn't work if it belongs to hardware or software...

In terms of hardware, ODG and Epson were very popular before. ODG showed a dual 1080p display with a frame rate of 60fps in 2016. However, it is desperate for the entire virtual reality market. Too big an egg to use.

Not to mention the software, as of now, a decent killer app has not been made.

But the peculiarity of this industry is that there is a glimmer of hope in the despair. On the one hand, this hope comes from the expectations of consumers. When the movie Number One Player was released, everyone’s expectations for virtual reality reached even higher. a GC. I believe that for the vast majority of young people, they have expectations for such a future.

In addition, the industry is now silently supported by big names, such as Microsoft, Google, FB, Ham Sausage, etc., which means that at least there is not much shortage of money.

The most high-profile player among these bigwigs is probably FB. Every time everyone bad-mouths this market, Zuckerberg will jump out and say a few words, but the past two years have not been easy for Lao Zha.

I have a general understanding of the virtual reality market, including the development of AR, VR, MR, holographic projection, and naked-eye 3D. Liu Fan also noticed that the industry has been mentioning the term AI virtual reality, and it is also true for artificial intelligence. The combination with virtual reality has put forward many suggestions and expectations.

"Let's find a company to find out the situation first." Liu Fan set his sights on the ham sausage HTC.

Liu Fan could be regarded as a rising star in the technology world now, and he was quite dazzling, so he asked He Lin to contact HTC the next day, and the other party sent a team over on the third day.

And the leader of this team is Wang Congqing, the president of HTC Vive Huaxia District. Such an identity can be regarded as a high regard for Liu Fan. In fact, it was a bit beyond Liu Fan's expectation.

After welcoming everyone to the meeting room, Liu Fan inevitably greeted the other party for a while, and when the atmosphere was almost warm, he expressed his purpose straight to the point, "This time I invite everyone from HCT, because our company is going to open a Smart education projects. In terms of the specific implementation of smart education projects, I personally prefer virtual reality. But our company’s strength lies in algorithms, so we specially invite all professionals to ask for advice.”

"Mr. Liu is being modest, what does Mr. Liu want to know?" Wang Congqing asked very politely.

"A simple summary is actually two issues. In terms of education, the feasibility and suitability of the combination of AI and virtual reality."

Wang Congqing rubbed his nose, thought for two seconds and said, "I can answer Mr. Liu in this way. From a theoretical point of view, it is absolutely feasible, and from a theoretical point of view, it is very suitable."

Liu Fan couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Wang's words are too artistic."

"Don't be surprised by Mr. Liu. Let me briefly explain why I said that. The combination of artificial intelligence and virtual reality has long been a trend. There is even a saying in the past two years that virtual reality belongs to artificial intelligence.

When the matter of combining artificial intelligence and virtual reality was proposed, there were two conformational scenarios at that time, one was medical treatment, and the other was education.

So I think it is not only appropriate to use this combination in education, but also urgently expected by the society.

Let’s talk about feasibility again. There are three aspects to the combination of AI and reality.

They are virtual object intelligence, virtual interaction intelligence, and virtual content intelligence. At this time, we seem to be able to roughly imagine AI virtual reality as a 3D version of AI mobile phone.

So it is absolutely feasible in theory, and many companies are already doing this, including us. "

"From a practical point of view, where is the main problem?" Liu Fan continued to ask.

"Common technology."

Liu Fan made an expression to let the other party speak more clearly. Wang Congqing seems to prefer to give a very general answer first. Naturally, Liu Fan still has a concept about common technologies, although this is a rarely mentioned question. and concept. Simply put, it is a shared technology that can be applied to multiple industries and fields. However, because common technologies have strong externalities, few companies are willing to invest a lot of capital in research on common technologies.

Liu Fan suddenly thought, maybe this is one of the reasons why all the players playing virtual reality are big-name companies.

Wang Congqing paused and said, "Dynamic environment modeling, 3D image acceleration, natural human-computer interaction, network distributed applications and other core technologies are one aspect, and core materials such as chips, core optical components, and high-end sensors are part of it. Ergonomics, simulation systems, etc. , Development tools and other supporting facilities are another part.”

Liu Fan suddenly realized that it is no wonder that some people would say that virtual reality also belongs to artificial intelligence. After such a subdivision, it will be found that the core is also algorithms and algorithm capabilities.

But it is still different, because the final use and presentation are two different things.

Continuing to learn about some professional problems from Wang Congqing, Liu Fan probably knows which problems he can solve now if he wants to apply AI virtual reality to education, and which problems he must find a partner.

For example, the algorithm problem, Liu Fan is going to think about it. It seems that he needs to promote the development of lithography machines in terms of chips. After all, if the chip problem is not handled well, the processing power will not be solved. For issues such as bandwidth, Liu Fan has no interest in dealing with it for the time being. 5G has Huawei, and for terminals, Liu Fan proposed to HTC a similar cooperation with Huawei that does not involve equity.

Wang Congqing said that he would go back and discuss it before replying.

Then there are issues such as interaction and big data, of course, including vision, language, etc., which need to be solved. Communication with HTC helped Liu Fan straighten out a lot of things, but in the end there is still a fact that cannot be escaped. There are many tasks to be accomplished in the application of AI virtual reality in education.

Next, Liu Fan spent three days roughly drafting a plan for the implementation of smart education. After finishing writing, he drove to Liu Ji Sichuan Restaurant to find Liu Wei.

Liu Fan thought about it for a long time. He still hopes to invite Liu Wei to this project. Maybe there is an inexplicable feeling at work here, but Liu Fan wants to be emotional this time. This should belong to Liu Wei's greatness. Career, if I really accomplish this in the future, Liu Wei's name should not be missing from the credit book...
