Chapter 967 - Price and Safety (1st Update)
Zhou Jiangping and several Lehui professionals looked at the drawings on Chen Mo's computer screen, all dumbfounded.
Because...... This drawing depicts a device that the world has been speculating about for years, but has never really developed: a VR game pod that uses neural access technology.
The development of existing VR technology has reached a bottleneck, just like the steam engine, no matter how much it is improved, it cannot reach the efficiency of the internal combustion engine.
If the existing VR technology wants to be further improved, the most is to improve the picture accuracy, do a few more character movements, and update the somatosensory equipment, so that the feeling brought by the somatosensory to people is more realistic......
However, no matter how much it is improved, it is impossible to reach the level of neural access.
And now Chen Mo took out the new VR game cabin drawings, which is equivalent to the transformation from the steam engine to the internal combustion engine, which essentially changes the working principle of the VR game cabin, and can also be said to have opened a new era of VR games.
Zhou Jiangping suppressed his somewhat excited emotions and asked, "Mr. Chen, let's not talk about the cost of this thing, I want to ask first, what is this thing...... Does it work? ”
Chen Mo:"=="
"Ahem." Zhou Jiangping coughed twice, "Mr. Chen, don't worry, I'll take a good look at this drawing." ”
Chen Mo sat down on the sofa next to him: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, you take your time." ”
Zhou Jiangping and several Lehui technicians gathered around the computer screen, carefully looking at the entire design drawings, including the various components and principles of this new VR game cabin.
After watching it for more than half an hour, Zhou Jiangping sat on the sofa next to him, and he still hadn't recalled.
Chen Mo asked, "How is it?" ”
Zhou Jiangping was obviously very excited in his heart, but he still remained calm: "If only from the production point of view, it can be done!" It's just expensive. There are several of them that use the most cutting-edge technology, such as neural connection technology, life safety systems, etc., especially neural connection technology, which basically just uses the highest technology at this stage. ”
"But there's a problem, at this stage, you can make the kind of electrodes that you want to monitor, guide, and input brain signals, but ...... How to analyze the collected brain signals cannot be studied at the current level of science and technology. This device is also, if there is no corresponding parsing program, even if the brain signal is collected, how to convert it into a program signal and transmit it to the host? And how do you transmit the signal from the host to the player? ”
Chen Mo smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, I also have the parsing program, and I have already applied for a patent for the hardware and software with the game committee." Now I'm thinking about making a sample and estimating the price. ”
Zhou Jiangping still couldn't believe it, but seeing that Chen Mo was so sure, he basically believed it.
"In terms of cost, each unit should be around 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, and if the cost is reduced, it should be as low as 250,000 yuan, which is still much more expensive than most of the existing VR game cabins. But I don't think the price is a problem, after all, this thing represents the direction of future development, not to mention that there are really many rich people in this world. ”
Chen Mo thoughtfully: "Well, 300,000 ......"
This price point is a bit surprisingly expensive.
The cost of the original VR game cabin is between 50,000 and 200,000 yuan, and there is no way to promote it on a large scale, let alone a new game cabin starting from 250,000 yuan.
Of course, the so-called "large-scale promotion" mainly means that this thing can enter thousands of households and enter the working class, and if you only consider those who have money, this potential market is still quite large. In other words, at this stage, it can only be a toy for local tyrants, and it can't even fully replace the old VR game cabin.
Chen Mo thought for a moment: "Since this is the case, then don't reduce the price, let's take the high-end route, anyway, for rich people, there is not much difference between 250,000 and 300,000." ”
Zhou Jiangping nodded: "I think so too, this thing can't be made at the price of cabbage, so for the working class, even if it is cheaper by 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, they still think it is expensive." At this stage, we can only go to the high-end market. However, this thing is the product of the most cutting-edge technology, and it is a monopoly market, no matter how it is sold, it is a huge profit. ”
Chen Mo knocked lightly on the table: "This level of hardware, we can control it now." ”
Zhou Jiangping nodded: "Yes." Because this VR game cabin is equivalent to making our cutting-edge technology enter the practical stage in advance, it is equivalent to a small leap. In terms of hardware alone, since we can build it, we can definitely repair it, but ......"
Zhou Jiangping paused and asked again: "What I'm worried about is the risk of this thing. This new VR game pod can directly transmit information to the player's brain and nerves, so if there is an accident, it will not cause damage to the player's brain, right? ”
Chen Mo explained: "This, the game committee has arranged experts and technicians to evaluate the safety of this thing, and if it doesn't pass, it will definitely be impossible to sell it." However, it should not be a big problem, because this device is not invasive, that is, there is no need for any 'posterior intubation', and the safety is relatively high. ”
"The human brain has a strong protection mechanism, the brain and nerve access is carried out in the player's semi-hypnotic state, and the game pod itself will also monitor the data transmitted to the player and the player's physical state in real time, and any abnormality will immediately disconnect the consciousness, for the players, they are at most like a nightmare, even less frightening than the nightmare."
"For these, the game committee will arrange corresponding clinical trials, and have an estimate of the maximum scare value of this thing. But we don't have to worry about that, and we don't have that power. ”
Zhou Jiangping nodded: "Okay, it seems that I am overly worried, in this way, I will immediately arrange to make a sample out, it should be soon." ”
Chen Mo seemed to think of something again, and said: "By the way, you can also take a good look at some additional functions, such as life support systems, video signal output systems for live broadcasts, and so on." There may be some special versions of this stuff for special groups of people or special sectors, and it is also necessary to consider in advance. ”
Zhou Jiangping nodded: "Okay, no problem." ”
……
Zhou Jiangping left happily, for him, how expensive this thing is? There will definitely still be local tyrants who will buy it. Especially for those who are old and sick, this thing is equivalent to a second life, and it is impossible to have no market.
And Chen Mo's idea is much simpler, anyway, the price of this product will be reduced if you unlock a few technology points in the future, sell a batch of pit tyrants first, and let the players in this world adapt to it, and then mass produce it later.
Of course, it can't be said to be a pit, after all...... Buy early and enjoy early.
