After a while, Xia Shiyu took off his helmet and sat up from the chair. [Full text]
After thinking about it for a long time, she sighed with unfulfilled meaning and spoke.
"If I hadn't been able to call up the exit game menu at any time, I would have thought I had traveled through time."
"Experiencing virtual reality for the first time will definitely give you this feeling, but you won't feel it anymore after playing it too much." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
There must be a process of adapting to new things. Jiang Chen remembered that when he first lay down in the virtual reality training cabin, he felt very nervous. But the more you use it, the more you feel it.
Holding the helmet in her arms, Xia Shiyu reached out and gently touched the streamlined surface, whispering like she was dreaming.
"Although traditional VR equipment can also achieve immersive virtual reality, they are all based on the physical level. For example, using a helmet to block vision and hearing, and mounting sensing elements on the hand... But this kind of direct This is the first time I have heard of a device that allows the body to enter deep sleep in reality and completely connect the mind with the virtual world. Images and sounds do not need to pass through the retina and eardrums, and all senses only stay at the brain level. The body is sleeping when playing games... . . . It’s so sci-fi.”
"Really? Then guess how many players there will be in this "God Level Continent"?" Jiang Chen said proudly.
Xia Shiyu shook her head. "I can't estimate how much, but one thing is for sure. As long as this helmet is not ridiculously expensive, there will be no problem at all in breaking the Guinness World Record for the number of players and the number of people online at the same time."
"I think so too." Jiang Chen smiled.
After a pause, Xia Shiyu looked at Jiang Chen.
"Do you think virtual reality can only be used in games?"
After hearing Xia Shiyu's words, Jiang Chen asked with interest.
"What's the meaning?"
"PCs, smartphones and tablets, these electronic products have simplified people's social activities. With just a chat software, two people thousands of miles apart can stand together as if they were face to face." Putting the helmet aside, Xia Shiyu looked at Jiang Chen. He said seriously, "In this virtual helmet, he can allow two people who are thousands of miles apart to ignore the distance and 'really' stand face to face. Putting aside the game, this helmet itself is an epoch-making product."
Jiang Chen was stunned. He had never thought about this problem, and no one had ever mentioned it to him. After all, when facing virtual reality technology. There are more people in the wasteland who are calmer.
"You mean this thing can replace a smartphone?" Jiang Chen laughed, "That's unlikely. After all, mobile phones can be used anytime and anywhere. This thing can only be played at home. And, if I remember correctly , VR equipment was available two years ago.”
In fact, virtual reality technology is not a rarity here in the real world. The penetration rate in the country may be very low. But if you look "outside the wall", this thing is actually not as sci-fi as imagined.
To give a very simple example, the selling point of P's new virtual reality game "Eve: Valkyrie" is "space VR", and this game has launched closed beta on January 18, 2016. As long as players who have purchased the -dk2 device can participate in the internal test after logging into the official website for simple registration.
In fact, virtual reality games are not as far away from us as they were ten years ago. Many console games are trying to be compatible with VR devices.
And the statement in the news that “2016 will be the year when virtual reality explodes” is absolutely true.
"It's different." Xia Shiyu shook her head. "This difference is like, flip phones cannot shake the status of PCs, but smartphones can."
After a pause, she looked into Jiang Chen's eyes. Said seriously.
"The virtual helmet you take out is similar to the 'smartphone' in VR equipment. It is not realistic to replace a smartphone, but it is more than enough to pose a threat to its market position."
Although he was already mentally prepared to turn the next page of history, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little excited when he heard Xia Shiyu say these words himself.
"This virtual helmet is like a key, taking people's sleep time to another dimension. With the same life span, a person's 'alive' time will be increased by eight hours. Not just games. We can also use virtual Reality devices can be used to create online communities, shopping platforms, and virtual real estate. Even things that have never been imagined..."
Taking a deep breath, Xia Shiyu's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Now. Do you know why I'm so excited?"
Jiang Chen was secretly surprised when he heard Xia Shiyu's words. When he got the virtual helmet, he just thought about using it to play games, but he didn't really think that far ahead. But when Xia Shiyu said this, he suddenly felt enlightened.
Yeah, not just games. Social networking, even food, clothing, housing and transportation, if it is based on the platform of virtual helmet, everything is possible! This virtual reality is like an unexploited gold mine, and the only people who can touch this gold mine at this moment are future technology.
"We will create history." Jiang Chen said softly.
"That's right!" Xia Shiyu held Jiang Chen's hands excitedly.
"..."
Time paused here for five seconds.
Xia Shiyu slowly let go of his hand, put her fist under her lips and coughed, her eyes drifting to the side.
"Sorry, I just got excited..."
She pretended to be calm as if nothing had happened, but the blush on her cheeks betrayed her inner panic.
Jiang Chen was a little dumbfounded and looked at her blankly.
sweat. Is this really Xia Shiyu
No, isn't it time to consider how to react
Just when the two of them were in embarrassment, there was a gentle knock at the door.
"There are visitors outside." Looking at the two of them with a smile, Ayesha said while holding on to the door frame.
The rescue was too timely! Jiang Chen thanked Aisha in his heart.
"I'll go take a look at the door. You should study the virtual helmet first." Jiang Chen smiled at Xia Shiyu, turned around and slipped away from the gym.
Staring blankly in the direction Jiang Chen left, Xia Shiyu's eyes stopped on Ayesha standing at the door.
Speaking of which, I haven't spoken to her since I entered the house.
Xia Shiyu smiled stiffly and greeted her. "Hi... ... "
She didn't know what expression to use to face this girl.
Or love rival.
Ayesha responded with a friendly smile and said softly, "I have cleaned up the room for you. If you need help with anything, please tell me."
Facing this non-hostile smile, Xia Shiyu felt a little ashamed of the slight hostility in her heart.
"You... hate me if you don't eat?"
Hearing Xia Shiyu's words, Ayesha tilted her head, "Why do I hate you?"
"For example... because of jealousy or something." Xia Shiyu looked away.
She didn't dare to look directly into those blue eyes.
But Ayesha just shook her head slightly.
"Aren't you worried that I will snatch him away?" Xia Shiyu couldn't help but ask.
"Have you finally admitted your feelings?" Ayesha asked.
Xia Shiyu was stunned for a moment, and the blush crept from her ears to her neck.
But this time she didn't back down, she didn't want to show her emotional weakness in front of her "love rival".
Seeing that she did not deny it, a smile appeared on Ayesha's cold and pretty face.
Walking to Xia Shiyu's side, the girl gently stood on tiptoes and leaned close to her ear.
"I'll give it to you tonight."
Xia Shiyu was stunned at first.
After she reacted, her brain went into a panic... (~^~)
