A strange picture appeared on the entire second-hand platform.
"roll!"
Therefore, no matter what price those people offer, except for a few people who hesitate, the vast majority of people often give only one concise and concise answer -
[In terms of price, the price of 12,000 yuan is definitely not cheap, but in fact it is the price of some mid-to-high-end laptops. Spending 12,000 yuan to buy a world is completely worth it in my opinion. In fact, I have noticed that some people are selling helmets for as high as 200,000 yuan on the second-hand market. It seems that the market also recognizes this price.]
As for another more direct reason, the 100,000 helmets were almost sold out by three o'clock.
Crazy digging for every information about it, just to understand it better before embracing this upcoming new era...
Originally, the product launch conference was planned to last until 5 p.m.
"Brother, do you want to resell it? I'll pay you 24,000! If you resell it for twice as much, there won't be a shop like this after this village!"
In two hours, 900,000 helmets will be listed on the official website.
However, who is not standing here
There was no other reason. Because the prices on the second-hand platform continued to hit new highs, and some people even took the high-speed train from the next city to buy them, more and more people came to the scene, and they had to start evacuating the crowd to avoid major accidents.
Time passed like this minute by minute, and the pointer finally approached the twelve o'clock position.
It can be said that the fantasy about virtual reality technology has been around for a long time.
There are only one million helmets put on the market, and online sales will not start until the early hours of the night. However, the number of people across the country and even around the world who are looking forward to this helmet exceeds tens or even hundreds of millions.
At this moment, people burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm.
[Let’s talk about feelings! I can't describe this feeling in words at all. It is brand new, first of its kind, and beyond my understanding of the Internet and the virtual world! Many of you should have seen Ready Player One, and I bet you that the experience will never be inferior to the one presented in the Ready Player One movie! You can even lie down and play, sit down and play, and your eyes will never get tired. All images are generated directly on the optic nerve!]
The employee sitting in front of the computer looked at the time on the screen and said excitedly.
The headquarters of Warwick Group is still brightly lit.
In less than an hour after this article was posted, it was all over the place on scarves, on Facebook, in Moments, and everywhere there are people.
It can be clearly seen from the number of IP visits that someone is constantly refreshing the web page, as if this can catch the leak in advance.
"Tch! Do you want to buy it for this little money? I'll pay 30,000! Sell it to me!"
Especially in the sales department, a group of people are already sitting in front of the computer in preparation, paying close attention to the screen in front of them, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
At the same time, just when "sky-high-priced helmet" topped the hot search list, many users who were lucky enough to enter the press conference not only took the helmet home in advance, but also posted their experience on the Internet, attracting attention. Countless melon-eaters came and looked at her with envy and hatred.
[First of all, let me state that this is not an advertisement. It was so difficult to get tickets for the press conference. I spent a lot of effort to get them myself. Warwick Group and Star Technology didn’t need me as a small director to advertise for them.]
After seeing such a price, many people who sold too early showed regretful expressions, while orders sold at low prices were constantly canceled by sellers and placed at higher prices.
What's ironic is that, just two hours before it goes on sale, a huge number of visits are already coming in like a rising tide.
For example, the well-known director Wang Lihui published a long blog post on his scarf immediately after the live conference, describing his experience of using HV-1 to experience fully immersive VR technology.
Now that this technology has finally moved from the laboratory to reality, almost everyone who has made the Internet a part of their lives is eager to know what kind of experience this so-called second paradise is like.
…
Even Warwick Group, which hosted this conference, did not expect that offline sales would be so popular.
As a result, no one expected that it would end early at three o'clock.
Thinking of the news that came from Shanghai during the day, the project manager in charge of the HV-1 helmet felt like the burden on his shoulders was like carrying hundreds of kilograms of rocks, even if he drank one cup after another. Drinking coffee didn't bring any relief.
“Get our product online!”
Although they had expected that the world's first neural-connected virtual reality helmet would sell out, and even made special filings with the police, they still did not expect that it would be exaggerated to such an extent...
For those who have made this trip in vain, it is difficult to say where they will vent their dissatisfaction...
[Of course, I do not recommend that my fans buy through second-hand channels. After all, Warwick Group will soon produce a batch of helmets next month. When the supply meets the market gap, everyone will definitely have the opportunity to embrace this illusory and beautiful second. world.]
However, the situation here is completely opposite. Although there are scalpers at the door, they are not targeting the customers who cannot get in the queue, but the customers who have already purchased from the exhibition hall with backpacks on their backs and faces full of joy.
Ten p.m.
Seeing that there were not many transactions, the price of helmets jumped up every minute, and it was forced by the sellers to create a situation where there was a price but no market.
Putting down the coffee in his hand, the project manager nodded, controlled the excitement in his tone, and ordered with a serious and calm expression.
Of course, in addition to scalpers, there are also players who really want to buy.
[Speaking directly of the intuitive feeling, as the world's first publicly sold neural access virtual reality device, the HV-1 equipped with the Phantom system has rendered the virtual reality world to the extreme. If you compare it with other products, there is no other product on the market that you can refer to. Now I just have to wait for the helmets released by DaMi Group at the end of the month before I can do a complete evaluation and compare which helmet has better value for money.]
According to statistics from major search platforms, the search volume for keywords such as virtual reality, phantom system, HV-1, etc. has steadily surpassed other keywords.
As early as many years ago in the science fiction blockbusters depicting the future world, people can see their imagination of the completely immersive VR technology. And I believe that in the distant future, the real space will no longer limit people's vision, and unlimited information will expand people's thinking by an entire dimension.
In fact, the Samsung clerk’s estimate ultimately underestimated people’s enthusiasm for virtual reality technology.
Whenever they see such a person, they will rush up to the driver like the driver at the train station door and ask tirelessly -
The daytime press conference ended with a bang.
Just when 50,000 helmets have been sold on site, the transaction price of an HV-1 helmet on the second-hand market has exceeded 50,000, which is a full four times compared to the selling price of 12,000. more than.
If we talk about general product launches and exhibitions with goods, there will be a group of scalpers standing at the door, asking those customers who came here because of the reputation but left empty-handed if they want to buy scalpers' goods.
"BOSS, the time is almost up!"
[Of course, as a filmmaker, virtual reality technology has triggered my thinking about the future film industry. Maybe it won’t be long before we can stand in the world of movies through a new, immersive way of watching movies...]
