Chapter 788 Smart Glasses

Zhou Jiangping pondered the structure and function of this brand-new device. Although he felt that he understood Chen Mo's intention, he was still a little confused.

From the hardware point of view, this device is basically between scheme 1 and scheme 3. It has a lot more functions than pure bluetooth glasses, but it can't have too many high-end functions. At least it is a little bit to reach the level of large PC games. 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's the positioning of this device. It has more functions than the Bluetooth glasses of solution 1, but the difference from the portable VR helmet of solution 2 is that its main attack direction is MR, not VR, that is to say It's not going to blend in with current VR games."

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

Zhou Jiangping's eyes lit up.

Chen Mo continued: "The front of this device is equipped with a camera, which is used to capture the picture in front of the player's field of vision. Through this camera, players can scan real objects, estimate online, and measure length and distance. At the same time, this device It can also integrate most of the software functions of the current mobile phone. It will not be an accessory of the mobile phone, and 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, and more."

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

"In some special scenarios, mixed reality will provide more convenience for players. For example, when watching a ball game, players can see the current ball-handling player's data and scoreboard; for example, players can use this kind of The glasses are combined with special simulated firearms to create a gunfight with explosive audio-visual effects... Of course, this kind of function needs to be developed later, but from a technical level, they are completely achievable."

"At the same time, it can also integrate the function of a translator. When it hears 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 carry a simple artificial intelligence system to help you arrange your trip, write memos, automatically remind you, analyze certain problems for you, and even chat with you when you are bored."

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

Zhou Jiangping kept nodding: "Yes, so, scenes like those in many sci-fi movies can actually be turned into reality? An artificial intelligence housekeeper that everyone carries with them? The camera can also be equipped with live broadcast and video recording functions?”

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

Zhou Jiangping was stunned for a moment: "Why? This function is perfectly fine. Isn't it a matter of course?"

Chen Mo said: "Because the live broadcast and recording functions have the risk of infringing on the privacy of others. Simply put, most people will feel very uncomfortable when they see a stranger holding up their mobile phone on the road to record you, right? That's the reason. The device enables live broadcast and video recording, which 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 was stunned.

Chen Mo said: "This is only one of the problems, there are other problems, such as price problems, energy consumption problems, heating problems, etc. If these problems are solved, this product can really be introduced to the market. However, with the current From a technical point of view, it is a little difficult, but it can be solved.”

Zhou Jiangping nodded: "Okay, then I will arrange for someone to develop it according to your plan, Mr. Chen.

By the way, about the games on this thing..."

Chen Mo said, "Don't worry, I'll 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 a lot of questions about Google Glass.

The price is too expensive, the battery life is too short, and it heats up badly during use.

Only one eye can see the screen, and the viewing area is too small. When viewing 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, and people who wear it in public will even be called "" (glasses bastard).

There is also a very critical problem, the interactivity is worrying.

Google Glass uses voice, touch and somatosensory to interact, that is to say, if you want to give instructions to the glasses, you need to speak or make gestures yourself, but this function is also fully available on mobile phones. Google Glass does not have intelligent image recognition or intentional reading, so it will not be particularly convenient to use, and it cannot be effectively distinguished from the functions of mobile phones.

In other words, it is extremely expensive, but there is no place where it is better than the mobile phone, not even the most outstanding.

Therefore, if the technical level is not reached, Chen Mo will never choose to make similar glasses, because it is doomed to fail.

But now, with the advent of tiny consciousness-reading devices, similar wearables are possible.

For the smart glasses that Chen Mo wants to make, the entire mirror surface is a display screen, and the information will be directly mixed with the real scene and displayed in the player's entire field of vision, instead of just capturing a part of the screen; the interactivity can directly read the player's consciousness, and the use of glasses It will be 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 installed on the glasses, it can also intelligently identify the current environment of the player. When the player is in a chaotic environment, the artificial intelligence in the glasses will automatically lock certain functions to prevent the player from Dangerous because vision and hearing are affected.

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

At the same time, turning off the camera function of the glasses can well protect the privacy of other people, so that other people will not be resistant to this kind of equipment.

As for price issues, battery life issues, and heating issues... The technology in the parallel world is more developed, so these problems also have corresponding solutions. Chen Mo also has a certain knowledge of hardware. According to his estimation, the price of this smart glasses should be between 3000 and 8000 (there are different models and configurations), and the battery life will be 6 to 12 hours (the whole process uses high power consumption). The battery life can be 6 hours with the power application and 12 hours with normal use).

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

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