Chapter 67: Interview with Ham Sausage

With a new direction, Liu Fan didn't bother, but he returned to the company after sending Xu Jing and He Lin home. Before, Liu Fan didn't pay much attention to virtual reality. I can only say that there is a concept. I also know some artificial intelligence + virtual reality. But after one night's research, he found that the market seems to be a bit cool. .
The problem facing virtual reality is a bit ... how do you say, it ’s cool and comprehensive, it does n’t work with hardware, it does n’t work with software ...
In terms of hardware, like ODG and Epson, it was very hot before. ODG showed a dual 1080p display with a frame rate of 60fps in 16 years. However, it is hopeless that for the entire virtual reality market, there is still nothing. Too big eggs.
Not to mention software, so far, a decent killer has not been made.
But the peculiarity of this industry is that there is a dazzling hope in despair. This hope comes from the expectations of consumers on the one hand. When the number one player in the movie was hot, everyone's expectations for virtual reality even reached A GC. I believe that for most young people, they are looking forward to such a future newspaper.
Another thing is that now it is all the big names who silently support the industry, such as Microsoft, Google, FB, Ham, etc., which means that at least there is not a shortage of money.
估计 The highest profile of these big brothers is estimated to be FB. Every time everyone sings about this market, Zuckerberg will jump out and say a few words, but the past two years are not very good.
I have a general understanding of the virtual reality market, including the development of AR, VR, MR, holographic projection, and naked eye 3D. Liu Fan also noticed that the industry has been referring to the term AI virtual reality. The combination with virtual reality puts forward many suggestions and expectations.
"Let's find a company to understand the situation." Liu Fan set his eyes on HTC.
凡 Liu Fan is now a rising star in the science and technology industry, and it is quite dazzling, so he asked He Lin to contact HTC the next day, and the other day sent a team over.
And the leader of this team is Wang Congqing, president of HTCVive Huaxia District. This status can be regarded as a high value to Liu Fan. In fact, there is something unexpected that Liu Fan.
After welcoming everyone to the conference room, Liu Fan could not help but politely talk to the other party for a while. When the atmosphere was almost warm, he opened his door and expressed his purpose. Intelligent education project. As for the specific implementation form of intelligent education project, I am personally more inclined to virtual reality now. But our company's strength lies in algorithms, so we invite professionals to ask for advice. "
"Mr. Liu is humble, don't know what Mr. Liu wants to know?" Wang Congqing asked very politely.
"A brief summary is actually two issues. In education, the feasibility and suitability of combining AI with virtual reality."
Wang Congqing touched his nose and thought for two seconds before saying, "I can answer President Liu in this way. In theory, it is absolutely feasible. In theory, it is very suitable."
凡 Liu Fan couldn't help but smile, "General Wang's speech is too artistic."
"Look at Mr. Liu, let me briefly explain why I said that. The combination of artificial intelligence and virtual reality has long been a trend. Even in the past two years, there is a saying that virtual reality belongs to artificial intelligence.
When the matter of combining artificial intelligence and virtual reality was proposed, there were two conformation scenes at that time, one was medical, and the second was education.
So I think it is not only appropriate to use this combination in education, but it is also urgently expected by society.
Let's talk about the feasibility again. There are three aspects to the combination of AI and reality, namely virtual object intelligence, virtual interaction intelligence, and virtual content intelligence. At this time, we can roughly imagine AI virtual reality as a 3D version of an AI phone.
So it is absolutely feasible in theory, and many companies are already doing this, including us. "
"From a practical point of view, where is the main problem?" Liu Fan continued to ask.
"Common technology."
Liu Fan made an expression that made the other person speak more clearly. Wang Congqing seems to prefer to make a very general answer first. Liu Fan naturally has a concept about common technology, although this is a rare rapture. And concept. In simple terms, it is a shared technology that can be applied to multiple industries and multiple fields, but because common technology has strong externalities, few companies are willing to invest a lot of capital to research common technology.
凡 Liu Fan was suddenly thinking that this may be one of the reasons why all the virtual reality players are big-bang companies.
Wang Congqing paused, "Dynamic environment modeling, three-dimensional image acceleration, natural human-computer interaction, and network distributed applications are one of the core technologies. Chips, core optical components, high-end sensors and other core materials are part of the ergonomics ~ www. EbookFREE.me ~ Simulation systems and development tools are another part. "
恍 Liu Fan is surprised, no wonder some people will say that virtual reality also belongs to artificial intelligence, such a breakdown will find that the core is also the algorithm and algorithm capabilities.
But it is still different, because the final use and presentation are two different things.
I continued to understand some professional issues from Wang Congqing. Liu Fan probably knew which problems he could solve now and which must be found by his partners if he wanted to apply AI virtual reality to education.
For example, for algorithm problems, Liu Fan is going to think about it. If it is a chip, it seems necessary to promote the development of the lithography machine. After all, if the chip problem is not handled well, the processing power cannot be solved. This virtual reality will definitely not bring it up, and the terminal And bandwidth and other issues, Liu Fan has no interest in engaging for the time being. 5G has Huawei. In the terminal, Liu Fan proposed to HTC a similar cooperation with Huawei that does not involve equity.
Wu Wang Congqing said that he would go back and discuss it before making a reply.
Then there are the issues of interaction and big data, of course, including vision, language, etc., which have to be solved. Communication with HTC helped Liu Fan straighten out a lot of things, but in the end, he still couldn't escape the fact that he wanted to really achieve it. There are many tasks to complete the application of AI virtual reality in education.
Next, Liu Fan spent three days roughly drafting a landing plan on intelligent education. After writing, he drove to Liu Jichuan Restaurant to find Liu Wei.
Liu Fan has considered it for a long time. He still hopes to invite Liu Wei for this project. There may be an inexplicable feeling here, but Liu Fan wants to feel emotional this time. This should belong to Liu Wei ’s greatness. Career, if you really do this in the future, you should not lose Liu Wei ’s name in the credit book ...
