Number One Game Designer

Of course, Fang Xi knew the little innocence in Ti Lung's heart.

Voice interaction is a feature that many large 3A games want to add.

The video game itself is divided into two parts, the output end and the input end. The output end has basically reached a bottleneck. Although the display is updated every year, in the final analysis, it is actually a visual stimulation, plus an auditory stimulation. Stimulate. More importantly, in terms of tactile feedback, there is only one vibration feedback and the electrode tactile feedback that Hongyi is still developing.

The input terminal is also similar, the keyboard and the joystick are used to input commands through movements, which are converted into the results on the display. Under this current situation, if the game can interact with the microphone, it will be a huge improvement. The most important thing is that a microphone is not expensive. For example, a few years ago, the famous Japanese action game company Isha (), they developed a game that can use a camera to collect player actions, and then the game gives feedback based on player actions, but the effect was not satisfactory.

At that time, on the one hand, it was because the camera of I company was still very rudimentary in capturing motion, and on the other hand, few people would buy a camera specifically for this game. But the microphone is different. Many people’s computers have a microphone, and the microphone is not expensive. Basically, it can be done for a dozen dollars. In general, in terms of input terminal upgrades in the next step, voice interaction seems to be the most effective for the time being. hopefully.

But in fact, Fang Xi thinks there is no need at all. The function of voice interaction is stronger, but in reality? Fang Xi is very clear about what kind of game "GTA" is. The main behaviors of players in the game are driving, shooting, fighting, and maybe dating street girls and flying airplanes. None of them can rely entirely on voice The function is fully implemented.

On the contrary, the VR that I am still developing now, the virtual reality system needs this professor's upgrade too much! Virtual reality is to reshape a virtual world and use mechanical devices to simulate the five senses. Among them, the voice aspect is of course the most important thing. If there is this professor who joins in the voice communication algorithm, plus the gold finger that he uses the death server, Fang Xi See your own bright future!

In the last time and space, when Fang Xi's attribute was a dead house, he always dreamed of resigning in a bad mood, and then traveling as soon as he said it.

As a result, this time and space is the boss itself, and it is no longer necessary to resign when you are upset, but there are many business trips that you can leave as soon as you say it.

The direct flight from Haifang City to Chicago will cross over the Pacific Ocean. After the 14-hour flight, Fang Xi only has two words: sour and refreshing.

When he was in school, Fang Xi always thought that flying was a kind of enjoyment, but after enjoying a 14-hour cross-country flight last time, he finally understood: All those who talk about comfort regardless of time are hooligans. A thirty-minute train journey can be comfortable, and a plane journey of more than twelve hours can be grueling.

This time, Xiaolan also booked the business class casually, took a nap, and after reading some boring materials, Fang Xi came to this city he had been to twice.

It was Di Lung appointed by Fang Xi to pick him up. Fang Xi didn't want too many people to know about his coming to Los Angeles, because Fang Xi was not the only choice for this professor. What he announced on Twitter so far was that he would not Participate in any American company, but besides the Americas, Japan, South Korea, the European Union, etc., there are many choices.

Moreover, voice interaction is not an unpopular technology, and has a wide range of applications. In fact, the more vertical field should be mobile phones. I believe that Samsung in South Korea will definitely not mind giving this professor a generous salary.

In the hotel, Fang Xi washed up briefly, and then watched the confused Di Long show his cards directly. Ti Lung still doesn't quite understand why he wanted to come to Chicago directly while talking about Fang Xi.

"Ti Lung." Fang Xi patted Di Lung on the shoulder and said, "I understand that you want to rely on "GTA" to become a blockbuster, but to be honest, I hope that this professor can work for the head office, which is currently developing a new technology ,

This professor is one of the most critical figures for this plan. "

"Is it more important than you, the boss?" Dillon was still a little bit unwilling to give up. Youdao is easy to get, but hard to find. Engineers are really rare.

"It's more important than me." Fang Xi nodded without any psychological barriers. Anyway, for him, VR is just a concept builder. In fact, his work has already been completed long ago, and he is just a theory proposer. More depends on the next practice. I can't get involved in this aspect. Is it a joke to say that this professor is much more important than me? For the VR department, I only have the role of funding.

Hearing Fang Xi's words, Di Long looked depressed. For the three brothers, the current pressure is quite heavy, because it is already a project that Hongyi has announced. Basically, success is inevitable. If this game fails, I can't imagine what kind of verbal criticism there will be.

All the active Dillon put his mind on this new technology: If "GTA" is not ideal in the end, at least it can be washed with the application of new technology, saying that "GTA" is the practice of new technology in a certain game. At least it won't be too miserable for people like Xing Zhe to gain emotional points.

But now it seems that this way is not going to work...

Of course, Fang Xi was too lazy to guess what Di Long was thinking in his mind. As the boss, he wanted others to guess what he was thinking. Otherwise, who was the boss?

"Tell me about this professor in detail."

Dillon calmed down, the boss had already spoken, so obviously there was no chance for him, so forget about it.

Later, with Ti Lung's eloquence, Fang Xi also learned more information.

Dan Pawar, a former tenured professor at the University of Chicago, was expelled about four days ago in a series of insane incidents.

According to the information Dillon inquired and the acquaintances at the University of Chicago verified each other, Professor Dan is a standard workaholic. He is in charge of a "Prometheus Project", which is an open source voice AI project. Dan is One of the three main technical leaders, this project was jointly promoted by dozens of universities in North America, with a funding of nearly tens of millions of dollars, but as Dan was fired, he also automatically quit the Prometheus project. The professors and schools related to the plan are running for Dan with a positive attitude, but on the other hand, the minority activities at the University of Chicago are also very active.

According to what Dillon heard, the attitude of the University of Chicago is very firm, and Dan is the standard kind of person who devotes himself to work. He is very sensitive to this kind of politically correct discrimination, and there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties.

Fang Xi's eyes lit up:

Workaholic? I like! He, Fang Xi, loves this "entry" to death!
