Chapter 1065 "Fitness Battle" VR Version (Addition)

Pei Qian nodded: "Well, you are right, the entire VR experience area does need to be redesigned."

"In this way, the hosts are all placed on the shelf above the head, and the power button is led down through a line. Then the entire VR experience area is made into a compartment style, and the display screen is hung on the partition in front. A folded table with a stand on which a keyboard and mouse hang."

"The tabletop is designed to be just the right height for standing use."

"The VR headset and the handle are hung on the partitions on both sides for easy access."

In this way, the table top has two forms: laying flat or sticking to the wall.

When the player uses it, it is in the flat state by default, and can operate the keyboard and mouse to find games on the computer and enter the VR mode. Then you can stick the table to the wall to leave space to experience the game.

Because the keyboard and mouse are fixed by a small bracket on the table, as long as the mouse is stuck in the bracket before putting it down, there will be no embarrassing situation of hanging in the air.

It can only be said that if players like to stand up and play computer games, then play it.

Pei Qian felt that such players should be in the minority.

Xiao Peng nodded: "Okay, then I will arrange it according to this method."

"However... Mr. Pei, have you ever thought about a problem? Moyu Internet Cafe is already a bit overcrowded. If half of the computers in Moyu Internet Cafe 1.0 are removed and replaced with VR, wouldn't it further aggravate the crowded situation? "

"Then I can only open more branches."

The corner of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly, boy, are you threatening me?

Why, you are amazing to open more branches?

It's as if you won't open a branch if I don't change this VR game area, how fresh!

Now that branch store is already open like dumplings, anyway, the change of the VR experience area can reduce the income of all stores by a large amount, and I will not lose money.

Pei Qian waved his hand: "Just open it, I told you earlier that you are not restricted to open a branch, you can open it as you like."

Xiao Peng nodded happily: "Understood, Mr. Pei! Then I will start to prepare."

"It is not a small project to build a VR experience area, and it cannot be completed in a day or two. After all, it is necessary to make cubicles, purchase equipment, and so on."

"I plan to remodel batch by batch. I just asked Liang Qingfan to help redesign the Internet cafe. I haven't found a good time. I can take this opportunity to complete it together!"

"Although the cost of such a change is not small, I believe that Moyu Internet Cafe will definitely have a new look by then, and the turnover will hit a new high!"

Pei Qian said hehe in his heart, and denied Xiao Peng's last sentence several times.

A new look can be considered, but it is better to reduce the turnover.

...

Not long after Pei Qian left Chixing Studio.

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin came to the meeting room and had a meeting with Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong, the current chief designer of Chixing Studio, to study some design details of "Animal Island".

Lin Wan took a few documents from the side, rummaged through and picked out one of them, and asked the assistant to copy it.

Soon after, this information was distributed to everyone.

Each of these documents is a design proposal for the new VR glasses, and the one selected by Lin Wan is the final proposal.

Lin Wan said: "Boss Pei has already made a decision just now. Tenda and Shenhua will each invest an additional 10 million yuan. That is to say, the research funding for this VR glasses has reached 40 million yuan."

"So, the design of the VR glasses can almost be finalized, and the most expensive version will be used."

Ye Zhizhou, Wang Xiaobin and Cai Jiadong all picked up the document and read it carefully again.

Lao Song had a lot of ideas before, and according to the difference in research and development funds and final selling price, he sorted out several versions of the plan.

Among them, the most satisfactory version was temporarily shelved due to insufficient research and development funds. Now that the funds are in place, naturally there is no need to hesitate any longer.

Lin Wan introduced: "This VR glasses will adopt the solution of all-in-one machine + wireless/wired streaming + binocular head 6DoF positioning system, the lens is 4K resolution, the highest 120hz refresh rate, 125-degree field of view, 5000mAh The battery is good for 2 and a half hours of continuous gaming..."

Although there are not many VR devices at present, and most of them are abroad, there has been a clear polarization in the development direction of VR glasses.

One is a pure VR headset that must be connected to a computer and used with a positioning base station, while the other is a VR all-in-one machine with a built-in chip that can be used alone.

Both approaches have their pros and cons.

Relatively speaking, a pure VR headset must have a better experience, a higher price, and a lighter weight. For example, in Pei Qian’s memory, a certain VR glasses with 8K as a gimmick achieved a 200-degree field of view and a resolution as high as 8K. Compared with the screen parameters of other VR all-in-one machines, they are completely crushed.

But the all-in-one VR machine also has its meaning, because it has more usage scenarios.

The VR headset must be used with a high-end computer and must be connected by cable, which means that it cannot watch VR movies independently, and cannot be too far away from the host, and the relatively high price makes most players have little desire to buy.

The all-in-one VR machine is relatively heavier because there are chips and a large battery inside, but it does not need to be connected and is more flexible. Moreover, it can have built-in programs, and it can play some VR games with relatively low configuration without a computer, which is similar to the level of mobile games.

And if you want to play large-scale computer games, the VR all-in-one machine can be solved by wireless or wired streaming.

This is actually the strength of Shenhua Group.

It is precisely because he is confident in the wired and wireless streaming technology of this glasses that Lao Song is more inclined to use the all-in-one solution.

In fact, each of these specific parameters was finalized by Lao Song after repeated thinking.

The binocular head 6DoF positioning system adopted by the all-in-one machine does not need to locate the base station. Instead, there are two cameras in front of the glasses to capture the real environment and perform positioning based on the captured images.

Although the accuracy is slightly worse than that of the base station, the difference is not obvious, and ordinary players can't feel it.

Moreover, these two cameras have special uses. When the player leaves the safe zone, or in some special circumstances, the glasses will no longer display the game screen, but the real screen captured by the camera.

It's just that this picture is rather blurry, just like the picture seen by myopia patients with three or four Baidu.

Another very critical parameter is the screen quality.

The resolution of VR glasses directly determines the user experience of players. The first generation of VR glasses used 2K resolution, but 2K resolution is obviously not enough, and it must be upgraded to 4K.

In fact, even 4K cannot completely eliminate the rasterization effect of VR, but if the resolution is further increased, the price paid is too high, and it is difficult to achieve with the current technical level.

In order to obtain the best gaming experience, a refresh rate of 120hz is also necessary. If it is only 60hz, it will actually feel a little bit stuck, and it is impossible to obtain the smoothest gaming experience.

If watching movies is the main function, 60hz is enough, but if you want to play games, you must use 120hz.

The field of view is the viewing angle of the VR glasses. If it is small, the player will feel as if he is looking at things through the crack of the door, which is rather cramped.

But the viewing angle cannot be unlimitedly large, because the larger the viewing angle means the larger the lens, and the larger the lens is not only more expensive, but also the original resolution will be stretched.

For example, a 100-degree field of view can maintain 4K, and if it is pulled to a 200-degree field of view, the resolution may only be 2K.

The overlapping field of view of the human eye is 124 degrees, and the range seen when the focus is concentrated is 25 degrees, and the maximum horizontal viewing angle of the eyes can reach 188 degrees.

In other words, after the VR glasses achieve a 200-degree field of view, it will bring players an extreme sense of immersion, and there will be no black borders in the field of view.

But after all, this is too extravagant, and it is not a solution that can be adopted at this stage.

Lao Song set the field of view at 125 degrees, which is in line with the normal overlapping vision of the eyes. Although some black borders can still be glimpsed from the corner of the eye, there is no longer the feeling of being cramped and looking through the crack of the door.

And such screen quality plus the all-in-one chip will obviously greatly increase its energy consumption, and the 5000mAh battery is only enough to play for 2 and a half hours.

This battery life is actually more appropriate, because VR games are different from computer games, and the sense of immersion is too strong. If you play too much, you will feel dizzy and tired. It is actually more reasonable to play for two hours to rest.

Of course, if you connect to the line, you can play while charging, so there is no time limit, but it will be inconvenient to move.

This battery is not small, so the rear design is adopted to balance the weight of the entire glasses, that is, the battery part is pressed on the back of the player's head.

In this way, the price of this VR glasses is set at the price of 4599.

Still beyond the psychological bottom line of everyone.

In fact, at the beginning, everyone wanted to try to control the price at around 3,000 yuan, so that the price would be more affordable to consumers and more conducive to the popularization of equipment.

But there is no way, many parameters will not be lowered, and the price will naturally not be lowered.

Everyone read the information carefully, and basically knew what they knew.

Because the specific parameters of this VR glasses will affect some things in the game.

Game design can be said to be an art of "dancing in shackles", because in all eras since the birth of the game, its specific content has been limited by hardware parameters.

And how to do the best possible under limited hardware conditions is a test that all designers must face.

Everyone didn't get to the point immediately, but chatted for a while first.

Lin Wan asked, "How is the situation at Shangyang Games?"

Wang Xiaobin smiled: "It's all good. "Fitness Battle" is considered a success. At first, I was worried that the refund mechanism would cause a sharp drop in income, but it didn't. On the contrary, it aroused players' enthusiasm for recharging."

"In addition to continuing to produce new props for "Fitness Wars", basically there is no other work."

Lin Wan asked again: "Then what will be the next new project?"

Wang Xiaobin shook his head: "I don't know, wait for Mr. Pei to give us the task. The two of us have some ideas, but they are not very mature."

This topic ended here, Lin Wan sorted out the information and was ready to move on to the next topic.

But at this moment, Ye Zhizhou who was sitting next to him suddenly raised his head, as if realizing something.

"Wait, I suddenly thought of something!"

"Perhaps Mr. Pei has hinted at our next new project?"

Both Wang Xiaobin and Lin Wan were surprised: "Huh?"

Ye Zhizhou suddenly became excited, and said to Wang Xiaobin: "We met Mr. Pei at the door just now, what did Mr. Pei say?"

Wang Xiaobin tried his best to recall: "Uh... Mr. Pei said, let us fully cooperate with the work of Chixing Studio. It is really impossible. It is okay to let the things of Shangyang Games go."

Ye Zhizhou said: "Isn't that right?"

Wang Xiaobin still looked confused: "Why is it right?"

Ye Zhizhou paused, and explained: "You can put aside the matter of Shangyang Games first, which means that we should not rush to start new projects or conceive new games."

"To fully cooperate with the work of Chixing Studio is obviously not just to help design the game. After all, no matter how we cooperate, the design work is still dominated by the designers of Chixing Studio."

"But our cooperation is not necessarily limited to this, we can also do some things that are helpful to VR glasses!"

"For example, we also develop a VR version of "Fitness Battle"?"

"I suddenly discovered that "Fitness Battle" and VR, isn't this a match made in heaven?"
