Yunmeng Technology.
Brain-Computer Interface Institute.
Wearing a unique eyepiece, a man wearing 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 the violently vibrating brain wave signals on the monitor could still intuitively reflect the shock in his heart at this moment.
"Incredible...where am I...?"
"My world," Hao Yun, who was standing not far away and also wearing eyepieces, replied softly, "you only need to touch the blocks with your consciousness and imagine moving them to change their positions. "
The man standing there at the moment is none other than Yang Lei, the chief engineer of the Rice Group.
When Lin Jun was in contact with the Rice Group, many senior executives of the Rice Group expressed doubts about this device called "Dream-1" and doubted whether the Yunmeng Group was really capable of making such a magical thing.
Therefore, Yang Lei was sent here for inspection.
Facts have proved that Yunmeng Group not only did not exaggerate, but even described it a bit conservatively.
Seeing those squares made of pixels changing their position in space under the control of his "thought", Yang Lei was filled with shock.
"This is definitely an epoch-making research... Do you know what this means?" Taking a deep breath, Yang Lei took off the eyepiece from his head and continued, "Not just games, at least the application scenarios I can think of are There are more than twenty.”
"I haven't thought about it that much for the time being. At least for now we have only studied the application scenario of games," Hao Yun smiled faintly and continued softly, "And don't you think that games are a great place for people to accept new things? Is it a good way?”
"I agree with this point of view," Yang Lei nodded, returned the eyepiece to the staff aside, looked at Hao Yun seriously and continued, "But... why is it just AR? In my opinion, whether it is AR Or VR, the compatibility of this technology can perfectly control it. We can even work together to develop a set of peripherals that allow users to operate a series of devices such as mobile phones, PCs and even smart home appliances directly through their thoughts."
Listening to what Yang Lei was talking about with a subtle expression, Hao Yun coughed slightly and said.
"We... are just an Internet company after all. Although the things you mentioned sound interesting, our energy is really limited. Moreover, the main research direction of this research institution is brain-computer interface technology. This set of brainwave 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 bit 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.
Looking at them, Lin Jun smiled sheepishly and continued.
"It's just an immature suggestion... In fact, we can try to develop an operating system that is compatible with a series of smart devices including smartphones and smart home 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 if you ask me... but I think it should be possible." Lin Jun looked at Hao Yun for help. Hao Yun also expressed his confusion and could only look at Wu Fan who was standing next to him and had not participated in the topic. .
Seeing his boss looking at him, Wu Fan thought for a moment and said with some embarrassment.
"Theoretically it's not impossible..."
Artificial intelligence is originally one of the sub-research and development projects of the Brain-Computer Interface Research Institute, and considerable progress has been made so far. Especially the "zero" running in the supercomputing center. Sometimes Wu Fan even feels that this guy is almost a genius, and sometimes it knows itself better than the people who study it.
"Then it's up to you." Watching Wu Fan nod, Hao Yun continued to look at Yang Lei standing next to him, "We will study the things you mentioned later... Regarding the 'Dream-1' device, 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, otherwise the people on the board of directors will definitely be more surprised than me."
In fact, Yang Lei still has many questions to ask about how Yunmeng Group implements this technology, but now is not the time to exchange technology.
After the cooperation between Rice Group and Yunmeng Group begins, he will still have plenty of time to discuss this issue with researchers from the Brain-Computer Interface Research Institute.
Not only the collection and modulation of brain waves, he even has a strong interest in the "non-invasive" brain-computer interface technology studied here.
His intuition told him that this technology would completely change the way people live in the next era, just as smartphones have changed their lives.
So for a moment, Yang Lei even had the idea of joining Yunmeng Technology.
However, he was just thinking about it in his mind.
After all, even if the stock options worth tens of millions are not taken into account, the non-competition agreement on him does not make it impossible for him to change jobs to other companies.
Yang Lei left, and 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 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 objects in reality, 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-purpose glasses
Hao Yun suddenly had such an idea in his heart.
However, upgrading hardware equipment is not something he has to consider now. What he is thinking now is how to improve the game Minecraft so that it can better adapt to the AR platform.
In fact, there were many games based on reality augmentation technology in the previous life. For example, the most popular one was probably a game about collecting elves.
Although Hao Yun could not recall the specific details of these games, in his impression, there was also an AR game in Minecraft, and he also participated in a "Building Public Community Space" initiative initiated by the United Nations Human Settlements Agency. "plan of.
Although this game was eventually shut down due to the epidemic and other reasons, the gameplay of integrating virtuality and reality is still quite interesting, and it is naturally perfect for promoting this peripheral called "Dream-1".
"Play must be limited to open spaces."
"It can be the user's home or a public area that is barrier-free and does not hinder traffic."
"There are two main ways to obtain game resources, one is collecting, and the other is exploring treasure chests... Of course, you can also recharge."
"Each player can occupy an 8X8m sandbox space. After becoming a member, it can be upgraded to 16X16m to reach the maximum. Afterwards, the scope of the sandbox 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 raised a smile on his lips and nodded with satisfaction.
"This content will be tentatively included in the beta version."
Although he doesn't know if players will like this kind of gameplay, he still feels quite good about himself.
