Chapter 1175: North American VR technology is underdeveloped, we must introduce ...

Obviously, it's not just consumers.
Far across the Pacific Ocean in Silicon Valley, watching the "revelry" that happened on the other side of the ocean, the shiver was almost crying.
I don't know how many U.S. consumers made a special trip to China to take part in the press conference. During the two days of Facebook and Twitter, almost three out of every ten messages were discussing this HV-1.
There is almost no doubt that if this gadget is introduced into the United States, it will inevitably set off a new revolution in the Internet industry. More than 90% of Internet users will be willing to pay for this not-so-expensive technology!
Zuckerberg was watching a report from his secretary in a Facebook headquarters building in Menlo Park, California, and his heart was beating badly.
On the one hand, it is because of stimulation, and on the other hand, it is naturally jealous.
At the end of last year, they had just completed the division of their VR company Oculus's virtual reality device development business, and the entire virtual reality business fell into their hands a little later.
As for the jealous nature, it is not necessary to say more. Seeing the sensation caused by this immersive virtual reality technology in the Chinese market and the envious eyes of North American consumers, it is impossible to say that it is not jealous.
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
After closing the report in hand, Zuckerberg nodded to her secretary, motioned to go outside to pour a cup of coffee for herself, and cleared her throat.
"Come in."
The door opened, and a middle-aged man with thin gold hair and thin hair came in.
"I don't quite understand what you mean," went straight to Zach Burke, the man put his hands on the table, said in a tone of excitement, "the HV-1 helmet has succeeded across the sea, Prove that immersive virtual reality equipment has a huge market, but you have laid off our R & D department! I don't understand what you think ?! "
It wasn't anyone else who stood in front of Zuckerberg who complained. It was Dr. Sanjadi, Oculus's chief technology officer. Almost a decade ago, he led Oculus's R & D team and laid out the future for Facebook.
What happened these days, however, was almost to anger his heart disease.
The entire R & D department was cut, and Oculus has only one empty shell. In addition to the entire company's structure, it remains intact, holds several poor patents, and occasionally sells several "old-time" VR glasses Except for the users, nothing is left.
"Don't get excited."
Facing Sanjadi's questioning, Zuckerberg smiled slightly, handed the doctor a glass of water, and watched him take a sip of his breath to calm down, before continuing to speak.
"If I give you a year, how likely are you to defeat Xingkong Technology, bypass their patent barriers, and use the neural access VR device you originally developed to occupy the North American market in front of them?"
Listening to this sharp question from Zuckerberg, Sangadi's momentum was slightly stagnant.
Although he wanted to bluff, in the face of BOSS's eyes, he didn't mention this courage, he remained silent for a while, and barely squeezed a word from his mouth.
"... difficult."
Even if he didn't want to admit it, it was a truth.
If the gap is not large, it may still catch up. However, the current situation is that no company in Silicon Valley has mastered the core technology of the phantom system launched by Xingkong Technology, not even the door.
In fact, it is impossible to master.
Except for hardware, people do not even need to register patents in software. All calculations are done in the cloud. I would like to copy a similar system unless they can hack into their servers.
There are only two options for companies wishing to make virtual reality hardware. Either give up the idea altogether or be the younger brother and join the standards they have developed to produce VR helmets that are fully compatible with the phantom system. "Star Tax" on every VR helmet.
"But ... do we just watch the Chinese people steal the entire market from our eyes?"
The secretary who happened to go out for coffee came back.
When he heard the question from his subordinates, Zuckerberg just smiled, took the coffee from his secretary, and took a sip before speaking.
"It's impossible to the entire market, so they won't be able to enter at all. They will have to enter the US market sooner or later, and we can seize this opportunity and take a slice of them. Although you understand my anxiety, we Too far behind in VR technology, it would be unwise to confront them now ... After all, Facebook is our core business, isn't it? Mr. Sangadi. "
Sangadi's throat moved, trying to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
The reason why together with other partners, the transfer of Oculus equity to Zuckerberg was because I believe that the visionary technology leader will lead them to the future.
Unexpectedly, their opponents had just shown their fangs, and the respected president turned around and slashed at his own, abandoning the technical route they had studied for many years.
Although he also knew that this was an unquestionable thing, he had not produced any convincing results and had his own problems in it, but this ending still made him feel like he was bleeding.
Not paying attention to the heartache on Sanjadi's face, Zuckerberg continued to pick up the report on the table and looked at it suddenly, and said suddenly.
"I heard that the phantom system has a large dependence on internet speed?"
"... It seems that there is such a statement. After all, the phantom system is mainly implemented based on cloud computing technology," Sangadi hesitated. "As far as Warwick's HV-1 helmets are concerned, their common scheme is mainly their own. The communication base produced by Weihaisi brings the connection to the virtual reality network. In terms of compatibility, it is mainly optimized for their own routers, communication base stations and other hardware equipment. "
Zuckerberg touched his chin, his eyes suddenly flashed a different light.
"If we can help their equipment enter North America."
"This is impossible!" San Jiadi looked at Zuckerberg with a weird look. "Communication hardware has always been the most sensitive piece. The Ministry of Commerce will not agree, and it will be ten thousand steps back, and the White House and Congress will also. Do everything possible to see them excluded. "
"I know it's difficult, but ... isn't it hopeless, isn't it? It's an opportunity to keep up with the pace of the world. Would you like to watch our network fall behind for an era?" Forefinger knocked on the table Zuckerberg said to himself, "We alone can't do it, so we need allies."
At this time, he suddenly thought of a phone.
That phone belongs to a young rich man.
Of course, unlike other rich people, in addition to simply being rich, he is also the new owner of the Boston Consortium.
Although low-key, Zuckerberg knew the energy of that person. Whether in the financial or political world, that guy can be regarded as a big man with a head and a face. The huge network of resources he possesses is also simply incomparable to the wealthy rich ...
Although he and that person just passed a business card at a cocktail party, but from the interest shown by that person in the new technology, they seemed to have the opportunity to cooperate.
And this is a good opportunity.
Thinking of this, Zuckerberg's heart suddenly heated up.
"In short, just leave it to me. You just do your own thing."
"In the future, Oculus's business will focus on the production of virtual reality access equipment. We will directly adopt the technology standards of Star Sky Technology ..."
"As for how to cooperate, I will talk to them personally."
...
One million helmets sold out in one day ~ EbookFREE.me ~ A 12 billion turnover in a single day even shocked Wall Street in North America.
However, if anyone thinks that the turnover of 12 billion is enough, it can only be said that he knows nothing about the business of Warwick Group.
In fact, the HV-1 helmet is only a part of Warwick's layout around virtual reality technology. Although it has shown enough to make money, in fact, it is not even a large source of profit.
What they really make is the carbon-based communication baseband used in the HV-1, and the neuro-modem compatible with the phantom system, these key hardware.
Currently, only Jiangcheng Semiconductor Industrial Park is able to produce these hardwares in the world. Even the rice helmet that has not yet been sold on the shelves, many things that cannot be produced are also purchased from their factories.
And these industries will bring them more than 100 billion market shares in the future. Even if they had to pay a large amount of patent fees to Xingkong Technology, the profits were enough for them to make a lot of money ...
At a time when the whole world was crazy about the launch of the phantom system, Lu Zhou, the "father of virtual reality technology", was rather calm and low-key.
Although I can receive a lot of reminders or private messages from Ait every day, this professor Lu who is always willing to share the joy with fans, this time it seems that he has not seen anything, and has not responded to a message. .
In fact, it was not that he deliberately avoided the news, but simply did not see it.
He has been in the laboratory these days, tinkering with a gadget ...
Although this thing may not be as amazing as virtual reality technology.
But when it comes to its technical content and its impact on the global information industry, compared to virtual reality technology, I am afraid it is not bad at all, even worse than ...
