Almighty Game Designer Chapter 788: Smart glasses

Zhou Jiangping carefully pondered the structure and functions of this brand new device. Although he understood Chen Mo's intentions a bit, he was still a little confused.

From the hardware point of view, this device is basically between Plan 1 and Plan 3. It has much more functions than pure Bluetooth glasses, but it is unlikely to have too many high-end functions, at least it wants to reach the large PC game. The degree is a bit difficult.

Zhou Jiangping said: "Well, there is nothing wrong with this design, but I still don't quite understand. What is the core difference between this scheme and Scheme 1 and Scheme 2?"

Chen Mo smiled: "It lies in the positioning of this device. It has more functions than the Bluetooth glasses of plan 1, but the difference from the portable VR helmet of plan 2 is that its main attack direction is MR, not VR. In other words, it will not blend with current VR games."

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

Zhou Jiangping's eyes lit up.

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

"Players can open web pages on the glasses, process text messages, emails, install smart software, open navigation, maps, online shopping, etc."

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

"In some special scenes, mixed reality will provide players with more convenience. For example, when watching a ball game, the player can see the current ball-handling player's data and scoreboard; and for example, the player can Combine this kind of glasses with special simulated firearms to have a gun battle with explosive audio-visual effects...Of course, this kind of function needs follow-up development, but they are completely achievable from a technical level."

"At the same time, it can also integrate the function of a translator. When hearing other languages, it can translate it into a language you can understand and translate it for you through the headset."

"If you want to go further, it can be equipped with a simple artificial intelligence system to help you plan your itinerary, write memos, automatically remind you, 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, which is completely different from the current mobile games and VR games."

Zhou Jiangping kept nodding his head: "Yes, so, scenes like many sci-fi movies can actually become reality? The artificial intelligence housekeeper that everyone carries with them? Sounds very good! In this way, In fact, the camera on the device can also carry live broadcast and video recording functions?"

Chen Mo pondered for a moment and said: "This...Actually, I don't really recommend turning on the live broadcast and recording functions."

Zhou Jiangping was taken aback for a moment: "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 infringing on the privacy of others. Simply put, most people will feel very uncomfortable when you see a stranger on the road lifting their mobile phone to video? If the live broadcast and video recording function are turned on for the device, it is equivalent to giving everyone a mobile phone that can be secretly photographed at any time, which will inevitably cause other people to resist this device."

"...It makes sense." Zhou Jiangping suddenly appeared.

Chen Mo said: "This is only one of the problems. There are other problems, such as price problems, energy consumption problems, heat generation problems, etc.. These problems can be solved before this product can be truly marketed. But Judging from the current technical level, it is a bit difficult, but it can be solved."

Zhou Jiangping nodded: "Okay, then I will now arrange for someone to develop according to Mr. Chen's plan. By the way, about the games on this thing..."

Chen Mo said: "Don't worry, I will consider this."

……

In fact, in Chen Mo's previous life, some companies have conducted research on similar wearable devices, such as the once popular Google Glass.

However, Google Glass actually failed. It was born in an era that did not belong to itself.

There are actually many questions about Google Glass.

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

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

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

Many people feel that this thing violates their privacy. People who wear it in public are even called "" (glasses bastards).

There is another critical issue, interactivity is worrying.

Google Glass interacts with voice, touch, and somatosensory. In other words, if you want to give instructions to the glasses, you need to speak or make gestures yourself, but this function is also fully equipped with mobile phones. Google Glass does not have intelligent image recognition, and there is no intentional reading, so it will not be particularly convenient how to use it, and it cannot be effectively distinguished from the functions of a mobile phone.

In other words, it is very expensive, but there is no place that is better than a mobile phone, and it is not even so outstanding.

So, if the technical level is not reached, Chen Mo will never choose to make similar glasses, because they are doomed to fail~IndoMTL.com~ But now, the appearance of miniature consciousness reading devices makes similar Of wearable devices become possible.

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

Moreover, after the artificial intelligence system is equipped on the glasses, it can also intelligently recognize the player's current environment. When the player is in a chaotic environment, the artificial intelligence in the glasses will automatically lock certain functions , To prevent players from being dangerous due to visual and auditory effects.

The problem of 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 other people, so as not to make other people resist this device.

As for price issues, battery life issues, heat issues...the parallel world has more advanced technology, so these issues also have corresponding solutions. Chen Mo also has certain hardware knowledge. According to his estimation, the price of this smart glasses should be between 3000 and 8000 (different models and configurations), and the battery life is 6-12 hours (high consumption throughout the use) Electric application can last 6 hours, normal use lasts 12 hours).

In addition, the glasses have a folding plan when not in use, so they can be carried in a bag.

In other words, the problems that plagued Google Glass in the previous life can actually be solved under the technical level of the parallel world.
