Chapter 1124: The VR Gla.s.ses Prototype Is Out!
Pei Qian had just finished was.h.i.+ng up when his cell phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Meng Chang.
“Hm?”
Pei Qian was a little puzzled. Why was Meng Chang taking the initiative to look for him?
It was almost the end of the month, but hadn’t Meng Chang already given up on this month’s commission?
He would only start thinking about the new publicity plan next month, right?
However, after some thought, Pei Qian picked it up. “h.e.l.lo? What’s the matter?”
Meng Chang probed, “Oh, Boss Pei, there’s actually nothing special. I just heard that Slow Movement Studio and Shenhua Corporation have already produced a few prototypes of the VR gla.s.ses. Do you want to try them out?”
“Didn’t you always teach me to understand the products before making publicity plans?”
Pei Qian frowned.
Eh?
The VR gla.s.ses had already been made into a prototype?
That was too d*mn fast!
However, on further thought, the VR gla.s.ses at this level were not particularly difficult to develop. Strictly speaking, the VR gla.s.ses were not developed by Slow Movement Studio, but by a department in Shenhua Corporation’s original cell phone business. They were very familiar with the various businesses, so it was normal to be fast.
It was just that…
Pei Qian actually did not hear any news about these VR gla.s.ses at all. If Meng Chang had not taken the initiative to call this time, he probably would not have known that the gla.s.ses had been made.
On further thought, there was no helping it.
The VR gla.s.ses were Slow Movement Studio’s project after all. Slow Movement Studio could only be considered a games company that Tengda had invested in now. It was neither a fully-funded subsidiary nor a subordinate department. There was no need for Lin Wan to report everything.
What’s more, Lin Wan might feel that it would be inappropriate to ask for instructions and disturb Boss Pei frequently because of her own works.p.a.ce. Thus, she would not take the initiative to say anything before the product became successful.
That made it difficult for Pei Qian to understand the current situation of Slow Movement Studio.
He could only say that there were pros and cons!
Pei Qian thought of a plan for Slow Movement Studio to be jointly funded by Tengda and Shenhua in order to chase Lin Wan away. However, that would definitely cause the news over there to not be as smooth as their own departments.
Fortunately, Meng Chang came to tell on her.
Pei Qian nodded immediately. “Of course, we have to take a look! Let’s meet at Slow Movement Studio in an hour.”
To Pei Qian, the best outcome of this VR gla.s.ses project was of course to lose money and lose everything. That way, the money that Tengda invested would have been wasted.
The second-best result was that the game would not be making a profit or make a small profit. They would be working for nothing and earning a bit of reputation. That way, not only would they not make money, but he would also be able to push Lin Wan further away from Tengda Corporation.
The worst outcome would be a huge profit for the game.
Thus, Pei Qian had to take a look and understand the situation.
There was no reason for the VR project to become popular at this time. Even if it were to become popular, it was impossible to recover such a huge sum of research and development funds. However, there was no need to be afraid of anything. He had to see the prototype before he could feel at ease.
What’s more, he had to show Meng Chang how to properly carry out reverse publicity. It was necessary to see the product.
On the other end.
Meng Chang hung up and immediately prepared to take a taxi to Slow Movement Studio.
This was official business. He could reimburse himself and not take public transport!
The reason why he knew that the prototype of the VR gla.s.ses had been sent to Slow Movement Studio was mainly because he had been paying attention to the VR gla.s.ses project.
He really wanted to see how Boss Pei would complete the reverse publicity of this project!
To Meng Chang, the VR gla.s.ses were already impossible to fail.
Shenhua and Tengda had invested a huge sum of money. Lin Wan, the successful game designer, had personally done the work. Shang Yang Games’ original team had helped, and Shenhua’s original cell phone department had been in charge of the development of VR gla.s.ses.
Some time ago, he had even coincidentally laid down a huge foreshadowing: Teacher Qiao.
If the publicity plans that Meng Chang made previously were difficult, this project would look like h.e.l.l.
Boss Pei could even manage this?
Meng Chang did not believe it.
It was not that he did not believe in Boss Pei’s ability, but he wanted to broaden his horizons.
Thus, he had been keeping an eye on this project. He immediately notified Boss Pei when he heard the news from the group chat.
At that moment, Meng Chang was like a primary school student thirsting for knowledge.
To him, it was meaningless to learn proper knowledge. Such unorthodox knowledge was more interesting!
If Boss Pei could really succeed in advertising under such difficulty, Meng Chang would definitely be willing to submit and call Boss Pei the best!
…
An hour later, Pei Qian arrived at Slow Movement Studio.
Meng Chang had already arrived. Lin Wan, Cai Jiadong, Ye Zhizhou, the product manager of the VR gla.s.ses, Old Song, and Teacher Qiao were all there.
“Boss Pei!” Everyone greeted him.
Lin Wan was very touched to see Boss Pei come personally.
Lin Wan would definitely ask Boss Pei immediately if they were to develop any new equipment at Shang Yang Games.
However, things are different now.
She was now the person-in-charge of Slow Movement Studio. There was only an investment relations.h.i.+p between Tengda and Slow Movement Studio.
This VR gla.s.ses was only a prototype. It was inappropriate to alarm Boss Pei over such a small matter.
It was just like how Shenhua Corporation was also an investor of Slow Movement Studio. Would she have to ask Shenhua’s President Lin to take a look after the VR gla.s.ses prototype was produced? It would definitely not be appropriate.
Thus, Lin Wan felt that she had to bear all the problems on her own. It would not be too late to send one to Boss Pei after the final ma.s.s-produced version of the VR gla.s.ses was released.
However, she did not expect Boss Pei to take the initiative to come over!
Obviously, Boss Pei knew that Slow Movement Studio had just been established and was worried about the project here, so he came to take a look.
He had the feeling that his child had just moved into the school and his parents were worried. Even though they knew that they should not visit him, they still ran over to take a look through the school’s fence in the afternoon.
The chief designer of Slow Movement Studio, Cai Jiadong, Ye Zhizhou, Qiao Liang, and the others had the same thoughts.
They could rest a.s.sured now that Boss Pei was here!
This project would be stable now that Boss Pei was here!
Pei Qian did not know that everyone had so much on their minds. Time was precious. He went straight to the point. “Where are the gla.s.ses?”
“Here.” Cai Jiadong immediately took two prototypes of the VR gla.s.ses from the side.
After Boss Pei and Meng Chang reached out to take the gla.s.ses, he took four controllers from the side and handed them over. “These are the controllers.”
Pei Qian reached out to take it. He fell silent before he could put it on his head.
What was with this unique design?!
At the moment, most of the VR gla.s.ses in the market were of similar shape. From the front, they looked like an ordinary round shaped rectangle or with a slight arc. The color scheme was mainly white and looked rather stiff.
On the other hand, Slow Movement Studio’s VR gla.s.ses were filled with sharp edges. They were wider than ordinary VR gla.s.ses and they were dark black and had a high-tech feeling with carbon fiber. There was also a V-shaped with a red and blue light changing effect on it. It looked quite cool.
The entire spectacle was similar to a V-shape, but the angle was not as exaggerated as a V-shape lamp.
There were two inconspicuous circular holes above the V-shaped light. They were the two cameras used for positioning.
Unlike the design of the three straps on the top and sides of ordinary VR gla.s.ses, the main part of these VR gla.s.ses was relatively independent. The straps were not directly connected to the main body of the gla.s.ses, but to the “forehead protection” part.
The forehead cover was shaped like a crescent moon. The arc fitted perfectly with an ordinary person’s forehead. It was not bare, but had a flat, almost long hexagonal protrusion with Slow Movement Studio’s logo.
That was because it was not connected to the main body of the VR gla.s.ses but to the forehead cover above. Thus, the strap did not extend to the back of his head level, but diagonally downwards.
At the end of the strap was a long battery compartment. After wearing it, the strap would automatically adjust and tighten. Of course, there were also manual adjustments and unlock b.u.t.tons.
There were pads on the foreheads and near the skin of the battery capsule to better fit the players’ heads and increase their comfort. At the same time, it was to isolate the heat emitted by the battery capsule.
The biggest advantage of this design compared to the other VR gla.s.ses that used loose straps to tighten the straps was convenience and comfort.
It was very troublesome to wear the other VR gla.s.ses. Different people had to adjust the length of the straps. It would be very uncomfortable if it was too tight, and they could not wear it loose. It was very easy to drop it.
What’s more, the VR gla.s.ses would feel heavier. The first half would be more embarra.s.sing.
Through this design, the VR gla.s.ses would be weighted in the back with the battery capsule to balance the weight of the VR gla.s.ses.
Most of the weight was in the forehead area and was not connected to the main body of the gla.s.ses. That meant that the main body of the gla.s.ses was hung on the forehead area and would not feel pressured.
As long as you put the gla.s.ses on your face first, then open the unlock b.u.t.ton of the battery bank to stretch the strap and buckle it on your head, the strap would automatically tighten. It was very convenient to wear and was suitable for different head types.
However, that was obviously not the most ridiculous thing. The two controllers were even more ridiculous!
The handles of the other VR gla.s.ses were basically a column with a joystick and a few b.u.t.tons at the top.
However, the handle of these VR gla.s.ses was more like a futuristic sci-fi pistol. However, the gun barrel was much shorter than ordinary handguns. The angle between the gun barrel and the gun handle was huge. It looked a little like the handle of a shotgun.
There was also an adjustable strap on the back of the hand, which was elastic with adjustable length.
After putting it on, his thumb naturally landed on the hammer position at the end of the gun barrel. This was a small platform with a swing stick that was wider than the regular VR controller. The pad of his thumb would fit the curvature of the joystick cap after pressing on it. It would not become uncomfortable because the hat was too small and would be used for a long time.
The left lower left side of the joystick was a special b.u.t.ton that simulated a battering ram. On the left side of the joystick were two round b.u.t.tons that could be clicked. The size was also larger than ordinary VR controller b.u.t.tons. It was similar to the main controller size and was more comfortable to press.
The index finger naturally fell on the trigger position of the pistol. It was not like the other controller, which was only a lonely trigger key. This controller had also specially made a ring-shaped guard like a pistol to prevent mistaken contact. It could also achieve the function of protecting the trigger key.
There was a b.u.t.ton on the pistol’s cartridge b.u.t.ton, slightly smaller than the original b.u.t.ton above it, and the hand sensitivity was not bad.
