Chapter 1153: Establish VR Game Standards!
This is the difference between Starbird Fitness and other gym models.
Other gym equipment is mixed. It is difficult to assess the specific number of people in the gym. For example, if there are 100 people in the gym, how many people will use dumbbells and how many people will use back pullers?
It is completely unpredictable, and naturally it is difficult to accurately judge the fullness of the gym, and it is difficult to guide customers.
However, in addition to the aerobic area, there are smart fitness drying racks in Xingniao Fitness. The time each person spends on the drying racks and how much space is available on the drying racks can be counted.
In this way, the current carrying capacity and status of the gym can be deduced, and even the waiting time can be roughly calculated.
Then through the APP, you can slightly divert the crowd during the peak period, which can not only improve the customer experience, but also optimize the configuration and improve efficiency.
Isn't it possible to use big data to guide fitness?
Che Rong was imagining the bright future of Xingniao Fitness, and Li Shi arrived.
"President Li!" Che Rong immediately greeted him.
For Che Rong, Pei was always the root cause of Xingniao Fitness's turnaround. Without the smart fitness drying rack and VR glasses developed by Mr. Pei, there would be no such model of Xingniao Fitness at all.
But to say the most grateful, it must be Mr. Li.
If Mr. Li hadn't proposed this model, and then set up a bridge to connect Xingniao Fitness with Tengda Group, it would absolutely not be possible to develop so smoothly.
Therefore, Che Rong is also very grateful to Li Shi.
Li Shi looked around at the status of the flagship store of Xingniao Fitness, and said with a smile: "Business is good! I said that President Pei's arrangement is absolutely foolproof, and there is no need to worry at all."
Che Rong nodded: "Yes!"
"By the way, Mr. Li, Mr. Pei came here yesterday, but he just walked in and walked around before leaving."
"I wanted to go up to say hello, but Mr. Pei left too fast, so I didn't have time."
Li Shi was stunned for a moment: "President Pei is here?"
"It seems that Mr. Pei is still very concerned about Xingniao's fitness. There are not many industries that Mr. Pei can come to see in person."
"You were right in not saying hello. Boss Pei is too busy to chat. And Boss Pei doesn't like small talk. He likes people who do practical things."
"You still need to concentrate on developing Star Bird Fitness."
Che Rong nodded and said, "Well, I think so too!"
The two came to the rest area and chatted while drinking tea.
Li Shi said: "Yesterday I went to the old industrial area again. The houses I bought are being renovated as a whole. I consider renting them out as a homestay."
"It can be rented long-term or short-term. It can be regarded as providing accommodation benefits for those who come here from other places to play."
"After the news of the subway came out, the price of houses here will inevitably increase. Fortunately, we sold it earlier and did not give too many opportunities to speculators."
"In order to prevent some people from hoarding these houses and renting out them at high prices to cheat people, we have to hurry up and provide high-quality accommodation services, which can be regarded as a small favor to Mr. Pei."
"Also, you must keep an eye on Xingniao Fitness. In the next few months, the popularity will only get higher and higher."
Che Rong was stunned for a moment: "How many months can the heat last?"
He was a little surprised. After all, although VR is a new thing, the popularity mostly comes and goes quickly.
It’s not that I look down on the development trend of future games. The key is that Doubt VR glasses have only two Tenda games so far. As for other apps and games, they are all made up.
Just count on "Animal Island" and "Fitness Battle" to maintain high popularity for several months? Sounds a little unrealistic.
Che Rong felt that if this popularity lasted for a month or two at most, the popularity would decline.
But for Xingniao fitness, one or two months is enough.
During this period of time, you can use the heat to attract a lot of people. After the heat passes, those who really need to exercise have formed a habit, and Star Bird Fitness will naturally be able to make stable profits.
How could it be possible to last for a few months like Mr. Li said?
Li Shi shook his head slightly: "This is the limit of our imagination and vision!"
"I thought the same thing as you at first, until I watched this video."
Li Shi handed the phone to Che Rong. On it was a video from Elli Island's website, titled "Animal Island - The Era of Virtual Reality Games Has Come"!
The name of the UP master is "Qiao Laoshi".
Che Rong said: "Qiao Laoshi? I seem to have a little impression that he seems to be famous in the game area."
Li Shi chuckled: "It's more than just 'somewhat famous'? You're talking in layman's terms. But you don't pay attention to this field, so it's normal if you don't know."
"He became popular by successfully interpreting President Pei. The content of the interpretation is not only the games launched by Tenda Group, but also various game-related products, and even corresponding marketing methods."
"I met him at the Horror Hotel before. Although he doesn't look special, he is definitely one of the people in the world who knows Mr. Pei best!"
"I watch his videos every issue. Although I don't understand a lot of the content of the game, I can still learn a lot of Mr. Pei's business thinking from it. It is very helpful for understanding Mr. Pei!"
Che Rong was a little shocked: "Really? That's because I don't know Taishan."
"What is this video about?"
Li Shi: "It's about how this glasses and these two games will usher in the VR era!"
Che Rong nodded slightly, but subconsciously felt that this was a bit exaggerated.
Although the glasses and the two games are doing well, it is too early to say "open the VR era", right?
Just like the arrival of the era of mobile games, it took several years to complete.
First, the hardware equipment meets the standards, and then within a few years, mobile games continue to expand, develop, and evolve, and each hit game continues to expand the player base, and finally let the mobile game have the current volume.
Now, in terms of the market share of VR equipment, it is basically a niche among the niche, and it is far from being comparable to consoles, computers, mobile phones and other platforms.
This statement is really a bit like a headline party.
But since President Li values it so much, it means that this video probably has merit.
Che Rong didn't say much, and clicked on the video to watch.
...
"Dear viewers, dads, everyone, I am still your 'game father' Qiao Laoshi. Welcome to the second half of the video, and witness with me how Doubt VR and "Animal Island" will start the VR era! "
It's still the iconic voice, but it may be a little too much lately, so it sounds a little hoarse.
This video was also made by Qiao Liang after staying up all night. Fortunately, the inspiration was overwhelming and the copywriting came naturally, so the shipment was relatively fast.
The last video was posted on Thursday night, and the new video was posted on Sunday morning. It may be nothing to some daily UP owners, but for Qiao Laoshi, a pigeon spirit, it is already as productive as a sow.
"Seeing this title, some people may say, ah, Qiao Laoshi, you title party! With only two games, you are clamoring that the era of VR games will start. Is this awesomeness too much? "
"No, all the lords in the audience, please listen to me carefully."
"I said that Doubt VR will open the era of VR games. This is not some kind of prediction or judgment about the future, but just an objective evaluation of this product."
"We all know whether and when the VR era will come is not something that can be determined by a certain person, a certain company, or a certain game. If the hardware level is not up to par, maybe the next five It won't come for years, ten years or even longer."
"Whether the hardware level can be achieved is a completely unknown thing."
"In this case, why do I still say that Doubt VR will open the era of VR games?"
"The reason is simple: Doubt VR and "Animal Island" not only launched a fun, practical, comprehensive VR product, but more importantly, they also completely established the norms for future VR games!"
"Just like the original FPS game established the rule of 'left button to shoot, right button to aim, and use WASD to move' for all future FPS games; just like the earliest RTS game established the rule of 'left button to select, right button' for all future RTS games. Mobile, fog of war" and other rules; just like the earliest MMORPG games established the basic rules of "massive tasks, multi-player team copies, huge and rich world view" for all subsequent MMORPG games, Doubt VR glasses and "Animal Island" "It also established the basic operation rules and popularized the basic concepts for future VR games."
"If VR technology advances by leaps and bounds in the future, then the norms established by Doubt VR and "Animal Island" for VR games will definitely continue and continue to flourish."
"And if VR technology stagnates in the future, then Doubt VR will most likely be the best VR product you can buy for a long time, and Animal Island will be for a long time. The most fun VR game you can play."
"So, no matter which of the above situations, Doubt VR will be an epoch-making product not to be missed in the era of VR games!"
"As for how it uses its own power to make niche VR games come into everyone's field of vision, and how does it establish basic norms for future VR games?"
"All audience fathers, please listen to me carefully."
...
After listening to the opening paragraph, Che Rong was shocked.
He didn't expect that Qiao Laoshi would start like this!
And it sounds very reasonable!
Whether the VR era will come or not is anyone's guess.
If it is inferred according to common sense, as long as VR technology can continue to improve in the future, the resolution will gradually reach 4K, 8K or even higher, the frame rate will increase to 144hz or even higher, and the price can be lowered to less than 3,000, then VR’s The market is bound to expand further, and the so-called VR era is bound to come.
If there is a huge technological breakthrough, such as a mature and usable universal treadmill or even more fantastic neural connection technology, then VR games may completely revolutionize all existing game types.
But the question is, what if VR technology stagnates?
If the resolution of VR cannot be made higher, the price remains high, and the game experience does not improve much, then it will always be a niche thing, and it will only shrink more and more. What is the VR era? Woolen cloth?
The thing about Joe’s old chicken thief is that he assumed both situations, and then came to the conclusion: no matter what the situation is, Doubt VR and "Animal Island" will be a highlight in the history of VR games!
