Almighty Game Designer (Almighty Video Game Designer)

Chapter 788: Smart glasses (four more)

Zhou Jiangping carefully pondered the structure and function of this new device. Although he felt that he had a little understanding of Chen Mo’s intention, he was still a bit confused.

From the hardware point of view, this device is basically between the program 1 and the solution 3, much more than the simple Bluetooth glasses function, but it is not possible to have too many high-end functions, at least to reach the level of large PC games is a bit difficult.

Zhou Jiangping said: "Well, this design is not a problem, but I still don't quite understand. What is the core difference between this solution and the solution 1 and solution 2?"

Chen Mo smiled: "It lies in the positioning of this device. It is more abundant than the Bluetooth glasses of Option 1, but the difference with the portable VR helmet of Option 2 is that its main direction is MR, not VR. It won't mix the current VR games."

"The core function of MR is not to play games, but to facilitate real life."

Zhou Jiangping shines brightly.

Chen Mo continued: "The camera is equipped with a camera in front of it to capture the picture in front of the player's field of vision. Through this camera, the player can scan the real object, can be evaluated online, can measure the length and distance. At the same time, this device It can also integrate most of the software features of current mobile phones. It will not be an accessory to mobile phones, and it can replace many of the functions of mobile phones."

“Players can open web pages on glasses, process text messages, emails, install smart software, turn on navigation, maps, shop online, and more.”

"Of course, you can also use it to listen to music and watch movies, but the effect on the image may not be as good, but it is definitely not bad."

"In some special scenes, mixed reality will give players more convenience. For example, when watching a game, players can see the current ball-handling player's data and scoreboard; for example, players can use this in certain occasions. Glasses combined with special simulation guns, a gun battle for audio-visual explosions... Of course, this feature requires subsequent development, but they are fully achievable on a technical level."

“At the same time, it can also integrate the functionality of the translator. When you hear other languages, it can translate it into a language that you can understand and translate it for you through headphones.”

“If you want to go further, it can be equipped with a simple artificial intelligence system to help you arrange trips, write memos, auto reminders, help you analyze certain problems, and even chat with you when you are bored.”

"Of course, in terms of entertainment, it can carry a lot of MR games on it, and it is completely different from the current mobile games and VR games."

Zhou Jiangping nodded: "Yes, so, like the scenes in many sci-fi movies, can it actually become a reality? The artificial intelligence butler that everyone carries with them? It sounds very good! In this case, in fact, on the device Can the camera also be equipped with live and video functions?"

Chen Mo Shen said in a moment: "This... In fact, I am not very recommended to open the live broadcast and video functions."

Zhou Jiangping stunned: "Why? This function is completely okay, isn't it a matter of course?"

Chen Mo said: "Because the live broadcast and video functions have the risk of invading the privacy of others. In short, most people are surprised when they see a stranger holding up a mobile phone on the road. It is very uncomfortable. If this is the case. The device has the live broadcast and video recording function, which is equivalent to giving everyone a mobile phone that can be taken at any time, which will inevitably cause other people to resist this device."

"...is justified." Zhou Jiangping was amazed.

Chen Mo said: "This is only one of the problems. There are other problems, such as price, energy, heat, etc. If these problems are solved, this product can be truly brought to market. But with the current From a technical perspective, it is a bit difficult, but it can be solved."

Zhou Jiangping nodded: "Okay, then I will arrange for people to develop according to your plan of Chen. Right, about the game on this thing..."

Chen Mo said: "Do not worry, I will consider this."

......

In fact, some companies in Chen Mo’s past lives have conducted research on similar wearable devices, such as Google Glass, which was once popular.

However, Google Glass is actually a failure. It was born in an era that is not its own.

There are actually a lot of questions about Google Glass.

The price is too expensive, the battery life is too short, and the heat is severe during use.

Only one eye can see the screen, the viewable area is too small, and the user seems to be turning his eyes when viewing the screen in the upper right corner, which seriously affects the image.

There are too few related applications and software development is difficult.

Many people think that this thing infringes on their privacy, and people who wear it in public are even called "glasshole".

There is also a very critical issue, and the interactivity is worrying.

Google glasses use voice, touch and body to interact, that is, you want to give instructions to the glasses, you need to say or make gestures yourself, but this function, the phone is also fully equipped. Google Glass does not have smart image recognition, and there is no intention to read it, so it is not particularly convenient to use this thing, and it cannot be effectively distinguished from the function of the mobile phone.

In other words, it is especially expensive, but there is no place that can be better than a mobile phone, and even the force is not so outstanding.

Therefore, if the technical level is not reached, Chen Mo will definitely not choose to do similar glasses, because it is also doomed to fail.

But now, the advent of miniature-aware reading devices has made similar wearable devices possible.

The smart glasses that Chen Mo wants to make, the whole mirror is the display screen, the information will be directly mixed with the real scene displayed in the player's entire field of vision, instead of only intercepting a part of the screen; the interactivity can directly read the player's consciousness, the use of glasses It will be very fast, and this is absolutely impossible for mobile phones, because the awareness reading device must be close to the human brain.

Moreover, after the artificial intelligence system is mounted on the glasses, the environment in which the player is currently located can be intelligently recognized. When the player is in an environment with relatively chaotic road conditions, the artificial intelligence in the glasses will automatically lock certain functions to prevent the player from being locked. Because the vision and hearing are affected, it is dangerous.

With too few applications, as long as this device can be popularized, a large number of IT companies will inevitably develop glasses applications.

At the same time, turning off the camera function of the glasses can well protect the privacy of others, so as not to let others feel resistant to such devices.

As for the price issue, the endurance problem, the fever problem... The technology of the parallel world is more developed, so these problems also have corresponding solutions. Chen Mo also has a certain amount of hardware knowledge. According to his estimation, the price of this smart glasses should be between 3,000 and 8,000 (different models and configurations), and the battery life is 6 to 12 hours (the whole process uses high consumption). The electric application can last for 6 hours, and the normal use lasts for 12 hours).

In addition, the glasses have a folding scheme when not in use, and can be carried in the bag.

In other words, the problems that have plagued Google Glass in the past are actually solved under the technical level of the parallel world.

Still today
