“Chen Mo didn’t pay attention to how many games of the year United States won. He was in Zhou Jiangping’s office, discussing the new equipment with the designers of Lehui. ”

“””These are the three new design drafts that our designer has come up with. What do you think, President Chen?”” Zhou Jiangping asked. ”

“Chen Mo shook his head.””None of them. I can’t pinpoint their exact location.”” ”

The three designers were a little confused.

“They had also just received Zhou Jiangping’s mission to design a new device for the small consciousness reading device. Time was tight, so the three of them each designed a piece of equipment, and then showed it to Zhou Jiangping. ”

The three designers ‘designs were pretty much the same because the design itself had certain restrictions.

“The new small consciousness reading device was slightly larger than the pulsating bottle cap and had the same thickness. Moreover, there was a limitation to this device. It had to be close to the user’s head to accurately read the consciousness signal. Therefore, it was impossible to make a mobile phone that could be controlled by mind. ”

“The three designers had the same idea, they were all portable. ”

“After all, Lehui was a mobile phone manufacturer, so video game designers more or less advocated simple and convenient designs. Of the three designs, two were head-mounted devices and one was a backpack. ”

“Plan 1 was to use a pair of circular glasses with a consciousness reading device behind the player’s head. The glasses were completely transparent and came with a simple operating system. It could be connected to the phone through Bluetooth, allowing the user to browse the internet, send messages, chat, and so on. It was equivalent to making an external device, which indirectly realized the function of controlling the phone with brain waves. ”

'',

“The second option was a helmet that covered half of the player’s head, similar to the VR helmets Chen Mo had seen in his previous life. This device could provide the player with a complete Virtual Vision like a gaming pod and allow them to play some simple VR games. However, its performance was far worse than the VR gaming cabin. After all, only the consciousness reading device had been reduced in size, and the other configurations had not. Therefore, the performance of this thing was basically only a little better than that of a high-end mobile phone. The “”VR anytime, anywhere”” was just a gimmick. ”

“The third option was a little dumber. The players were still wearing vR helmets, but they were connected to other equipment through wires. The player could carry a console that was slightly bigger than a laptop on their back, which could simulate relatively low-configuration VR games. The graphics and quality were at the level of high-end PC games. But the problem was that it would definitely be heavy to carry this thing. ”

“Just like in Chen Mo’s previous life, most of the gaming laptops were just desktop computers that were easy to move around. Players wouldn’t usually bring these laptops around because they were really heavy. ”

“The first plan was obviously to develop an accessory that could support mobile phones, while the second and third plans were to take a small step towards VR gaming devices. ”

“Lehui’s main business was mobile phones, but in recent years, its business had gradually begun to expand to smart homes and personal computers. It also had plans to enter the VR gaming pod industry. ”

“After all, VR gaming pods were the pinnacle of high-end digital equipment in the parallel world, and everyone was envious of the profits. ”

“However, it took le Hui many years to finally gain a foothold in the mobile phone market. The development of PC wasn’t particularly smooth, and as for VR gaming pods, they had no progress at all. ”

The designers of Plan 2 and plan 3 obviously wanted to use this opportunity to test the waters in the VR field.

“However, Chen Mo didn’t think any of them were reliable after a quick look. It wasn’t that the three designers weren’t good enough, but that they didn’t have a clear position for the new product. ”

“Zhou Jiangping wasn’t angry. He said happily,””””Then, President Chen, tell me, which direction should we consider the equipment this time? It’s also a good lesson for my designers. “” ”

“Chen Mo said,””it’s obvious that the equipment is too small if it’s only used as accessories for phones.””However, if it was a VR game, the performance would not be up to par. Therefore, the most suitable plan is to get an Mr., Which is a mixture of reality and reality. “” ”

“Zhou Jiangping was stunned,’mixed reality? This concept ... Has been out of date for a long time, right?”” ”

“Chen Zhao smiled.””It’s been out of date for a long time. However, it’ll be popular again soon.”” ”

“In the beginning, virtual reality technology had three branches, namely VR (virtual reality), AR (enhanced reality), and MR (mixed reality). ”

“The concept of AR and MR actually had something in common, so the two concepts were often confused. To put it simply, they inserted information into the player’s field of view in reality, overlapping virtual objects and scenes with the real scene, thus enhancing the reality and letting the player experience the effect of being both real and illusionary. ”

“However, in the parallel world, VR was developing much better than MR. ”

“In the beginning, there were still some R & D companies developing equipment for MR, but later on, they all focused on VR, so this concept was ignored by people. ”

“Because VR had consciousness reading technology, game pods, and the support of a large number of games companies, it could give players a gaming experience close to “”soul travel.”” MR’s were unable to provide players with an exciting gaming experience. They could not even read the information in the players ‘consciousness. Hence, they slowly faded out of the public’s sight. ”

“After all, AR and MR were portable. In order to put virtual objects in a real scene, the player had to go out of the house and to more places in the real world. ”

“Thus, when he heard that a miniature mind-reading device had been developed, Chen Zhao’s first reaction was that it was his chance to be an MR. ”

“””I’ll send you a design draft,”” Chen Mo said to Zhou Jiangping.””Take a look.”” ”

Zhou Jiangping opened Chen Mo’s design draft on his computer.

“His first reaction was that this thing was similar to Plan 1. However, after looking at the design carefully, Zhou Jiangping realized that this was completely different from the “”Bluetooth Glasses”” in Plan 1. ”

“From the outside, the front of the device was a full-cover pair of glasses. They were tightly fitted and could basically cover the entire field of vision of the player. There was a mini HD camera in front of the players to capture their field of view. ”

“The back of the device was also a ring-shaped structure, covering the back of the player’s head and the sides of his ears. Behind the left ear was the consciousness collection device, which could read the player’s consciousness signals. Behind the right ear was the operation module, where players could press the buttons or make specific gestures to perform some operations that were inconvenient to execute through the consciousness signals. ”

“There were headphones on the device, and they had a circular effect. The headphones could be switched on and off. If they were turned on, the players could not only hear the sounds in the headphones, but they could also choose to block out the sounds in the surrounding environment, creating a very good sound insulation effect. ”

“From the outside design, this thing was quite cool and full of a sense of technology. It was very similar to the glasses worn by spaceship pilots in many science fiction movies. It wasn’t as bloated as a helmet, at least it wouldn’t hurt his neck. ”
