“It takes time for technology to mature, and technology is an iterative process.

VR was not popular before because the ecosystem was not yet mature and the user base was not enough to support more ecosystems.

In the past, only the game ecosystem of VR was relatively prosperous, but that does not mean that only the game ecosystem will be prosperous in the future.

Live streaming, video and even virtual shopping, these ecosystems will gradually mature with the advancement of technology.

From a strategic perspective, the VR ecosystem that will mature first in the future must be video and live streaming. "

“We got the sample of Science and Technology Future, and I have used it, and the trial experience is very good.

But the product hasn't been released yet, Mr. Li, why are you so confident now?

The quality of a product and whether it is welcomed by the market are two different things.

Tudou started producing high-quality content independently for users earlier than Bilibili. Their products are also good, but in the end it was Bilibili that succeeded.

It won’t be too late to invest in this direction when the future matures. "

Tudou also belongs to the tears of the times. He put forward the slogan "Everyone is the director of life" a long time ago.

It is typical to get up early and catch a late market.

The limitations of Ali's acquisition of enterprises are also magnified on Youku Tudou.

Although Tudou proposed the slogan of self-media early on, the soil of self-media was not yet fully mature at that time, and computer users could not support Tudou’s strategic planning.

Later, Tudou was acquired by Youku. After the merger of Youku and Tudou, it was acquired by Ali in 2015 and became one of the components of Ali’s entertainment platform.

After Ali acquired Youku Tudou, it intervened in business operations in various ways. In the end, Youku Tudou directly fell behind in the mobile Internet era.

Nowadays, the second-tier film and television apps are not even considered. Not even as good as iQiyi, which was acquired by Qiandu.

It was also after Ahri acquired Youku that rumors spread in the Internet circles that Ahri's acquisition of a company would kill the company.

“If we wait until then to talk, it will be too late. It is easiest to talk now when no one realizes its value.

Moreover, VR videos require larger storage than traditional videos. Once the content explodes, current storage servers cannot accommodate so much data.

What we need to do is to purchase a large number of Huawei's Beiming-1 storage servers in terms of infrastructure to prepare for the explosive growth of VR videos.

The second is to develop the b station app based on VR system.

The second step is to communicate with our anchors and encourage everyone to live broadcast VR games. At the same time, we need to develop a first-person viewing mode for the anchors.

Users can share their perspective with the anchor, which gives them a much more immediate sense of immersion than lpl.

Finally and most importantly, Goose Factory is about to launch a chicken-eating game. I don’t know what they plan to call it internally.

But this game Goose Factory will definitely develop in the direction of e-sports, and we need to get the live broadcast rights of the first professional league.

Even though I haven’t seen a chicken-eating VR game yet, I believe that as long as the quality of the game is above the level, Goose Factory can make it popular.

What we need to do is to eat the resources of Goose Factory and the traffic of Goose Factory.

If you want to talk about these now, you can negotiate, but if you wait until brain-computer connection VR becomes popular, the price may not be what it is now.

Don’t forget that Goose Factory has its own live broadcast platform. "

Although Goose Factory is not the first company in China to receive e-sports dividends, it is definitely the company that has received the most e-sports dividends.

It can be said that lpl has brought the e-sports professional league format to an unprecedented level.

Riot itself could not have imagined that LoL could be run by Goose Factory to this point.

You must know that dota has a much better player base and e-sports base than lol. If dota2 were run by Goose Factory, it would definitely not be what it is now.

Perfection belongs to fishing with all the water in the lake.

LoL's success in the field of e-sports has made other game manufacturers jealous, and they have to launch e-sports leagues regardless of whether their own games are suitable.

The Ping An Jing Esports League and Blizzard’s Heroes of the Storm were criticized by name.

Heroes of the Storm can engage in e-sports, but it is run to death by Blizzard.

"Mr. Li, what you mentioned is, to put it bluntly, an element of gambling."

"That's right! If you don't bet now, why wait?

Now when all Internet companies cannot find incremental markets, there is a God-given opportunity in front of us. Why not bet?

This is not ten years ago. We could still count on more users and a bigger market. The demographic dividend has disappeared.

Have we been able to play on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch when we went overseas?

On the contrary, if we do a good job in the video and live broadcast format of brain-computer connected VR, it is very likely to enter the overseas market.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I believe VR will be an opportunity comparable to the mobile Internet, and a new round of industrial revolution on the Internet will be born here. "

Foreign Internet giants cannot enter China, and it is also difficult for Chinese Internet companies to enter foreign markets.

Ali and Goose Factory can acquire some Internet manufacturers in Southeast Asia through acquisitions, but they cannot enter the European and American markets through the same means.

Internet companies in Europe and the United States are actually American Internet companies. There are no local C-end manufacturers in the European continent.

Continental Europe has major B-end manufacturers, such as SAP, which is a very powerful enterprise-oriented Internet manufacturer.

European and American Internet companies are more than able to rely on European and American capital, and it is difficult for Chinese capital to miss out.

There are obvious examples from the past, such as AI companies in England, Amazon, FB, and Google, which can invest in the top ten AI companies, but Goose Factory can only invest in SecondMind, which ranks around fifty.

When industrial change is about to begin, some companies can sense it in advance, while others can only be pushed forward by the times.

There are many Internet companies that have obtained brain-computer connected VR samples. Some have already jumped in early, and some are still waiting and watching.

Those who can associate brain-computer connection VR with biological storage need to have strong industrial acumen.

The iteration of hardware technology has led to the prosperity of the software industry, and the explosive growth of storage demand will definitely require the follow-up of hardware technology.

Amerikan's National Information Infrastructure Plan in 1992, the construction of an information highway, led to the Internet bubble in 2000, which was as outrageous as the current currency circle.

Just like if mobile phones were still in the 3G era, short video apps would not be popular.

...

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhong Ze. It's 11 o'clock in the evening on the 24th, and Kechuang Future's brain-computer connection VR conference has just ended."

At twelve o'clock in the morning, a certain digital up owner released a next-generation product called futureverse i unboxing experience: VR on station B?

"And we got this brain-computer connected VR named futureverse i by Science and Technology Future at the first time."

"Since Meta has been registered as a trademark by Facebook, everyone knows that Metaverse means the metaverse, so many VR products are named so-and-so Verses, such as the more famous one is HTC's Viverse."

"So in terms of name, there is not much newness in the naming of Science and Technology Future. For the future universe, take the last two characters of your own name."

"Everyone should be familiar with Science and Technology Innovation Future, right? It is a company jointly established by Science and Technology Biotechnology, Goose Factory and Rice."

"The biggest gimmick of futureverse is brain-computer connection, which is also the specialty of science and technology."

"Speaking of which, I just attended their press conference. My attention was focused on Mr. Miao Miao the whole time. His temperament was so good that I felt like he was going to call me wife again on the screen."

After the video was broadcast, the barrage at this point was indeed full of people calling for my wife, or this is my wife, don’t compete with me.

Since Zheng Li's wealth accumulation is very transparent and no black spots can be found, domestic public opinion has always been advocating for wealth through technology.

In addition, Kechuang Biotechnology is one of the few companies that does not work overtime, does not have to pay, and has good remuneration. Therefore, Zheng Li has a very good reputation among young people.

In this era where Ali lays off employees in order to provide talents to the society, and Goudong lays off employees in the name of congratulations on graduation, it is a blessing to work for a giant that is on the rise.

Everyone wanted to work in Science and Technology Biotech, so Zheng Li’s nickname online changed from Zheng Shen to Boss.

Of course, this is mainly a joke. In fact, the threshold for scientific and technological innovation is very high.

Even the production base of endorphins now has a one-book threshold. You must know that in the past, just graduating from high school was enough.

Academic qualifications are depreciating year by year.

Although the production steps of endorphins are complicated and the operation requires rigorous, even so, this job is more than enough for high school students.

"You lsps! How dare the boss's woman yell?"

"Hahaha, I was just joking. Don't send me a lawyer's letter from the legal department of Science and Technology Biotechnology."

"Having said that, the packaging looks very technological, but I see too many similar packages."

"First let's talk about the price. The basic version of 12g+512g is priced at 9,999 yuan, the enhanced version of 12g+1t is priced at 12,999 yuan, and the price of 24g+2t is 16,999 yuan."

"The price is a bit expensive. The starting price of 9,999 yuan can buy two PS5s."

"But the price of the latest iPhone Pro still depends on your needs."

"For a digital enthusiast like me, I am definitely willing to spend 10,000 to experience the so-called most advanced VR products."

Futureverse’s global pricing is not much different, floating around 10,000 RMB.

This price will definitely be a bit high for Chinese consumers, and some consumers may need two months’ salary to buy one.

To be honest, these users may need to think about spending two months' salary on entertainment products for a long time.

For foreign consumers, the price of 10,000 RMB is relatively more acceptable.

"It's very light when I opened it and tried it first. It's lighter than the VR equipment I've been exposed to before."

"Futureverse is similar to other VR devices in that it is a pair of glasses, and then the helmet type can wrap your head."

"But because it is said to use the most advanced brain-computer connection technology, futureverse has more than a hundred nerve point signal capture devices throughout to identify your brain nerve signals."

“The texture is also very good, and it’s definitely a perfect score in terms of feel.”

"From the appearance point of view, the pure white body has a strong sense of technology. It seems that white has always been easier to give us a sense of technology."

“Like the future world in science fiction movies, I like to use white as the interior background of buildings.”

“White does look great, but if you’re worried about getting dirty easily, there are black and blue options for you.”

"If I had to choose, I would definitely choose white."

"The chip used in the performance parameters is Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 1035 processor, which is Qualcomm's latest chip specially designed for VR."

Qualcomm has been putting a lot of internal energy into VR chips, and they internally believe that this is the next direction.

Qualcomm began to increase investment in the VR/AR field as early as 2015.

It has blossomed in recent years, cooperating with Meta and ByteDance to build a VR platform.

Originally, Qualcomm also wanted to get involved in Kechuang Future, claiming that if Kechuang Future let Qualcomm take a stake, Qualcomm would develop a chip specifically for brain-computer connection VR.

Kechuang Biotech ultimately rejected Qualcomm.

"Supports wifi and Bluetooth connections, display resolution up to 4k, and screen refresh rate up to 120hz."

"At the same time, everyone knows that the biggest gimmick of futureverse is brain-computer connection."

"As the absolute leader in the field of brain-computer connection, Kechuang Biotech, as one of the major shareholders of Kechuang Future, specially designed the brain-computer connection chip model kclink i for futureverse."

"It is also equipped with an AI-assisted computing chip called kcai i. According to Mr. Miaomiao at the press conference, it can greatly increase the real-time graphics computing capability of the CPU."

"Let players have a better experience."

"The parameters are roughly as above. Since we have to send them out as soon as possible, I won't go into details."

“The following introduces some of the more unique features.”

"There are currently two mainstream VR models, such as pico and meta quest, which are more popular on the market. These can be called all-in-one VR machines with built-in chips."

“You can play right away.”

“There is also a VR device that needs to be connected to a high-configuration computer to play, like HTC’s Vive, which needs to be connected to a computer to play.

And there are configuration requirements. I remember that the latest vive requires at least gtx 1070 to run it. "

“I bought Quest and experienced Vive at a friend’s house.”

"If you simply compare Vive and Quest, the experience of using Vive is better. After all, the image quality of Vive is as high as 5k, while the highest image quality of Quest is only 1080p."

"But if you ask me to buy it, I will pay more than four times the price of quest."

The price of vive pro is 12,888 yuan, and the price of new products will increase in 2023.

The price of quest is about 2,500.

"At the same time, another very ridiculous point of Vive is that it needs to be connected to the computer with a cable to play. Then a locator must be installed to specially plan a blank area as a play area."

"It's very troublesome for a lazy person like me."

"Quest can be used just by putting it on. Before playing, just pay attention to the fact that there are no easy obstacles around you."

"Quest is much more convenient. Although vive is very good, it is too unfriendly for lazy people like me."

"Having said that, the futureverse of Science and Technology Innovation takes into account the advantages of both."

"First of all, Futureverse is an all-in-one VR machine with built-in Qualcomm's latest VR chip. You can play it by just putting it on."

"At the same time, futureverse also supports Bluetooth function. After installing a Bluetooth external device on the computer, futureverse can be connected to the computer and share the computer's CPU and graphics card."

"When the VR built-in chip meets the usage needs, you can play as much as you want."

"And if there are some masterpieces in the future and Futureverse is laggy when using it, it can be connected to the computer through Bluetooth, and there will be no lag when playing."

"The statement at the Kechuang Future Conference is that it is compatible with all current models of graphics cards after 1080. It is also compatible with all CPUs after Intel 7th generation."

"It can meet all the needs of players for at least the next three years."

"At the same time, if you don't have enough memory, you can download the game to your computer and play it via Bluetooth connection."

Goose Factory originally did not want to open this latter function.

Because if this function is enabled, players can directly download VR games on the computer's Steam, and then connect the VR to the computer to play.

The consequence of this is that Steam is still the game login device, and the VR system will not receive a share of the game sales revenue.

Because the computer is a Windows system, it will not be taxed.

In the end, the Goose Factory compromised. Now is the stage of building an ecology, and we should not focus on these petty profits.

"It's a very user-friendly design. When the configuration is insufficient, use computer configuration to make up for it."

This technology is one of the most advanced technologies in the VR field of Gochang, and is used in the brain-computer VR system.

In recent years, the company with the largest number of patent registrations in the VR field is Goose Factory.

Qualcomm’s number of patent registrations in the VR field does not even rank among the top ten.

But on another list, two of the top ten valuable patents in the VR field belong to Qualcomm.

"Next is the most exciting trial session. I'll try it out for my brothers first. If it's not fun, I can clear the mines."

Next is a fast-forward scene, where Zhong Ze is holding a controller and wearing a VR headset, dancing in the scene.

After the scene fast-forwarded to the end, Zhong Ze took off his head-to-head VR connection and could clearly see a thin layer of sweat on his head.

"I can only say that it is very, very good. The experience is very good. If you are a game enthusiast, buying one is definitely worth the money."

"Of course you have to do what you can!"

"I'm not saying this because I'm an employee of the Goose Factory. I'm sure this is definitely a product that transcends the times!"
