Chapter 833： VR

Chapter 833 VR

Virtual reality technology, also known as VR technology.

Mainly through the most intuitive visual effects, people mistakenly think that they have entered a world completely different from the environment they are in.

Using this technology usually requires wearing a special pair of glasses.

The VR technology launched in this world is actually relatively slow.

According to the fact that the world's technology is ten years ahead of the original world level, the relevant technology should have appeared around 2004.

Zhu Youxing looked at the latest news about the introduction of VR and found that this is a newly established company.

The founder of the company is a professor in a university laboratory, and he used to be responsible for some of the latest technology.

And when he saw the prospect of VR, he resolutely chose to resign, and then quickly researched a new commercial VR system with the knowledge he had learned. Up to now, prototypes have appeared, and he is not even patient. Waiting until the next year's Consumer Electronics Show to announce their products, obviously they want to make a slap in the face first.

"Zhuyou, the research and development of our switch has come to an end, and now we can confirm that it will be released next year, and we should be able to arrange mass production now!"

At this moment, Hayazawa Airi found Takeyusei who was watching the news in the office of a game development team, and told Takeyusei about the development progress of Switch.

Zhu Youxing put down his mobile phone while watching the news, then nodded and said, "OK, I will arrange the follow-up mass production plan. As for your work, I am going to let you do something different."

"Something different?" Hayazawa Airi tilted her head slightly in doubt.

"I want you to add a new peripheral to the GSX game console, let's take a look at this first."

Zhu Youxing handed over his mobile phone.

Airi Hayazawa took it over and saw the news on it.

"VR? What is this thing?"

Hayazawa Airi still doesn't quite understand.

"This can be regarded as a new technology."

"Is it about video games?"

"There are some relationships, and it's a new way of entertainment, but the future is not clear right now."

"It's enough to have your words, tell me what's going on."

Hayazawa Airi unreservedly believes in every decision made by Takeyusei.

"To put it simply, it is to wear glasses with a small screen, in which you can see a brand new world. This visual effect will be better than simply experiencing the game through a TV or a screen."

In Zhu Youxing’s memory, Nintendo originally made VR-like products.

However, the technology was immature at that time, and he died quickly without causing any waves.

It was not until the first decade of the 21st century that VR took off.

However, even before Zhuyou Star Trek, VR is still at a very early stage, and it can only become an entertainment product for a few people, and there is no way to fully popularize it.

Later, the alien CEO of Facebook was so hot that he wanted to rely on VR and the concept of the so-called metaverse to make himself the master of the new era.

However, his end was not particularly good.

If you really study VR seriously, it will cost a lot of money, let alone create a metaverse-like world from scratch.

However, the entertainment attribute of this thing is still very strong.

There are several pretty good VR games in Zhuyouxing's impression alone, and since relatively mature VR technology has appeared in this world, it is possible to create familiar games from my memory, so that the world's People can also experience the best VR game in his original world.

Hayazawa Airi listened carefully to Takeyuho's introduction, she nodded to show that she roughly understood the details of this thing.

"This thing sounds very interesting. Do you have a specific direction for Zhuyou? Do you have a direction for what to do?"

"You should study the technical details first, and study it together with other engineering team members. I only make one request here, and that is to reduce the cost of this equipment as much as possible. It is best not to exceed two hundred dollars."

"Two hundred dollars?" Hayazawa Airi said a little surprised: "It sounds like a light gun-like peripheral, and it's just adding two small screens in front of the eyes, so it's so expensive? "

Zhu Youxing said: "The cost of your first prototype will definitely be higher than this, and it will be quite difficult for you to reduce the cost, but it doesn't matter."

Hayazawa Airi said with great motivation after hearing this: "Leave it to me, I will definitely give you a product that meets your requirements. With so many years of experience, I don't believe that I can't make the product you want."

Zhu Youxing smiled and said, "Come on, I'm optimistic about you. This will be a relatively long project, and you don't have to rush to do it right away."

VR is considered a pit, but Zhu Youxing still plans to jump in, because he really wants to make a few VR games.

The so-called VR technology has become a general-purpose technology the moment it is announced. This thing itself is not too difficult. The only thing missing is that someone suddenly came up with this idea in a flash of inspiration.

Now that someone has taken the first step, everything is easy to say.

"Oh, by the way, you can also add a hidden VR function to the switch at that time, maybe it will be useful in the future."

Zhu Youxing remembers that there are a few first-party games in the switch that support VR games. Although the mosaic image quality makes people feel sick and want to vomit after playing for a while, at least there are, Zhu Youxing It is also planned to add this kind of function to the first game.

"OK, you wait for my good news."

At this time, Hayazawa Airi has a new motivation.

After the switch was just developed, Hayazawa Airi thought that she would be free for a while, and she thought it was boring.

Now Zhu Youxing has arranged a new job for her, which immediately makes her full of motivation.

As for VR technology, Zhu Youxing is not the only one concerned.

Just like the original world, VR’s relatively mature technology has been welcomed by capital not long after it was released.

Because this thing is indeed very advanced in concept.

Up to now, all walks of life have entered a bottleneck period, and the recent market is not particularly good. Both ordinary people and businessmen are eager to have a new technology to be born, and then to offset the weakness in those markets.

With new technology, there will be new impetus, and people are willing to pay for new technology.

And once the technology stagnates, everyone tends to be conservative.

The professor who founded the first VR equipment company soon became a guest of many capitals.
