In the blink of an eye, two more days had passed, and a new month, a new week, had begun.
Lincoln had unusually arrived early at Dream Cloud Studio, ready to hold a eting and officially kick off the production of “Speed Chase”.
However, probably due to his principle of clocking in and out on ti being too effectively embraced, only Cheryl was in the office at that ti.
Not minding, he greeted her and went to his own office, as the eting would be held in the virtual world anyway.
Sitting in the office, he was not only considering the upcoming eting but also pondering the arrangent of the visual and auditory aids.
The scene of him putting the vision auxiliary device on the little girl at the Experience Store on Saturday had left a deep impression on him.
Because she had been born blind, her eyes looked fine and were even extrely pretty and bright, but they lacked focus and thus were a bit lackluster.
After putting on the auxiliary device, the little girl’s eyes imdiately widened and curiously looked around as if they had beco the healthy eyes of a normal person.
However, Lincoln knew very well that this was an illusion.
The movent of the eyeballs was a subconscious action that the brain was making after being deceived. In fact, it’s the HD cara on the headband, simultaneously rotating, that had a real effect.
The proof was clear: the little girl’s eyes widened, while adorable, on closer inspection, she appeared slightly cross-eyed.
—This was because the little girl’s height, head width, eye spacing, and other factors were completely different from Lincoln’s.
And the initial paraters of the device were designed based on Lincoln’s body during the testing phase.
When the little girl put it on, though it worked smoothly and achieved the effect of restoring vision, slight deviations in focus and viewing angle were inevitable.
However, this was within Lincoln’s expectations. The adjustnt of the temple and nose pad was required even when fitting eyeglasses, let alone more complex visual aids.
Space for adjustnts had been left on the headband early on, unless the head was too small or too large — to the level of ‘Big Head Son and Little Head Father’ — then, no matter how much you adjust, it wouldn’t be good enough. Otherwise, for normal humans, the skull’s size falls within the adjustable range after about the age of five, which can achieve the best effects.
While patiently adjusting the radius and the position and angle of the cara on the headband for the little girl, Lincoln was also recording the key paraters.
At the sa ti, he felt relieved that they didn’t have to go through such a troubleso process when selling the equipnt to those with normal vision for AR gas later on, otherwise it would be too much of a hassle to sell.
Normal players, after buying the device, just have to focus on the specific aperture appearing in the field of view according to the built-in software, which can help the cara auto-calibrate, no need for such manual hassle.
The radius of the headband can also be manually adjusted according to the scale provided by the system.
Moreover, in Lincoln’s original concept, visual and auditory aids, including future AR devices, could all be made into various types of accessories such as hats, headbands, sports bands, and so on.
But when the actual product was made and tested, he discovered: such an idea was too idealistic.
If you don’t want issues such as cross-eyed, upward-rolling eyes, and strabismus to occur after long-term usage, the angle and position of the cara must be extrely precise.
Even for people with normal vision, it would be very uncomfortable to use if the focus of their natural sight and the focus of the cara on the device were not the sa.
Forcing oneself to adapt would possibly lead to astigmatism and strabismus in the long run, or even a decrease in vision.
So, in the end, he simply gave up that flamboyant idea and chose the simplest thod — still making it a headband!
We just stick with the headband, let it be whatever it wants to be!
Also, the headband had a significant advantage — it was easier to manufacture in a standardized assembly line, with a rapid preparation process!
In contrast, those flamboyant ideas, apart from looking good, were all troubleso, and were decisively rejected by Lincoln in the end.
After spending quite so ti carefully adjusting the device for the litter girl seeing her seemingly lively eyes, even knowing this was an illusion, Lincoln still felt extrely satisfied.
The little girl’s mother, the mont her daughter witnessed the light of the real world and let out her first cry of surprise, had already started to tear up, hand over her mouth.
When Lincoln finished and the daughter looked around in surprise, finally settling her gaze on her mother, the mother was so teary-eyed that she could hardly speak.
The little girl, seeing her mother’s tears, was clearly very happy, yet she started crying too.
In the end, mother and daughter cried together, sobbing uncontrollably.
Seeing the mother and daughter crying together, Lincoln was left speechless in embarrassnt.
He wished to leave and give them so space, yet he had so things to explain, so he just braced himself, waiting for them to finish letting out all their pent-up emotions.
When the mother had composed herself, she thanked Lincoln profusely.
Without saying much, Lincoln opened the small bag he had brought and introduced them to the contents.
“This is a wireless charger. Both the headband and the portable processing core can be charged with this. The core can also be charged using a wired interface, so it should cover daily use.”
Lincoln picked up the portable processing core and introduced it to them. “Actually, it’s sowhat like a miniaturized Mirage Console. But to facilitate carrying it around, its size has been minimized as much as possible, so its performance is not very strong, and it doesn’t have a storage unit.”
“Perhaps in the future, there will be so external storage add-ons. It’s not fully functional at the mont, but I hope you guys don’t mind.”
“Not at all,” the little girl’s mother dismissed it, shaking her head incessantly. “As long as Vivian can see the world, I’m content. Thank you! Thank you so much!”
With her emotions running high, the mother of the little girl tried to kneel down to kowtow to Lincoln, startling him and causing him to quickly help her up.
After patiently comforting her and seeing her off, he was finally at peace.
This matter deeply moved him, prompting him to skip his work-free Sunday and instead, he approached a professional headhunting company to help find a reliable manager.
After the eting, he still needed to head over to the factory to et with Zhou Jingzheng to discuss the creation of an independent production line.
Having these thoughts, he checked the ti. The employees should have arrived by now, so he sent a ssage in the group chat:
“Gather up, eting ti!”
The main topic of the eting was to officially start a new ga project “Speed Chase”!
To facilitate the following activities, Lincoln chose to hold a full staff eting.
The first step of the eting, a tradition of Dream Cloud’s ga developnt process, was-
Watching a film together!
After watching the film, everyone should gain a generally understanding of the ga’s main story and selling points.
But just having a film is not enough to adapt it into a ga, it requires a lot of hard work and dedication.
Lincoln will guide everyone in the direction and focus of the ga’s developnt, and participate in the production of key content.
Because “Speed Chase” and “Assassins’ Alliance” have quite a few similarities:
they both take place in a modern city environnt and involve gunfights, racing, explosions, and chasing…
If there isn’t enough innovation, the two gas could easily seem repetitive and lead to players experiencing aesthetic fatigue.
However, when modifying the combat scenes in the “Speed Chase” film, Lincoln had already grasped the biggest difference between “Speed Chase” and “Assassins’ Alliance”.
He also had a clear idea of how to build the overall style of “Speed Chase” based on this selling point.
If he had to describe the style of this ga in one word, Lincoln would call it Vice City!
