Chapter 387: Environntal Holographic Simulator
“Here’s what I think, being too realistic might not exactly be a great thing.”
Qian Wenhuan suddenly switched his tone when he made this point. His expression was unable to be deciphered. “After all, most films have so mature scenes sprinkled here and there. For example, there’s the GTA series and the Witcher series, to a certain extent... So specially designed gas. Fitted with an over realistic tactile suit, there might be so certain unwanted consequences...”
“Hahaha!”
The audience roared with laughter.
“I’m just kidding.”
Qian Wenhuan brushed off the subject with a playful shake of his wrist. “Over the next few years, our company will be experinting with more realistic tactile suit setups. Still, you won’t have to worry about not having a suitable ga to complent the tactile suit after your purchase. We’ve already made sure to liaise with the relevant ga departnts before designing these VR suits.
“To complent our V.1 Haptic Shock Chair and V.1 Tactile Suit, we’ve designed more than a dozen of exclusive gas, all of which are triple-A titles. We’ve invested a total of more than one billion US dollars. The genres include RNG, ACT, FPS, AVG, and RAC. These are gas compatible with the haptic shock chair and I believe it will not disappoint any player bases.”
Everyone beca bewildered when they heard this statent. Such a large amount of investnt... Blackwatch had certainly committed a lot to promote this VR equipnt.
It was then when a reporter below the stage raised his hand excitedly.
“It seems like the reporter from BBC over there has sothing to say.”
Qian Wenhuan pointed to the young man below the stage.
“Mr. Qian, will these VR gas reach or surpass the quality of the era-defining ga Half-life: Alyx?”
The young man was an avid gaming enthusiast. His question was direct and straight to the point. “Also, will these gas be free on the new VR platform?”
“That is a great question.”
Qian Wenhuan imdiately answered formally, “I can tell you without any reserve, ladies, and gentlen as well as the audience watching from ho, that we’ve invested a far more substantial amount in our gas than the average traditional ga. The average investnt we’ve pooled into each ga is around 150 million U.S. dollars. This is a heavier investnt than the production for most Hollywood films, so I can guarantee that there will be no problem in terms of quality. Their quality and plot will surpass that of Half-life: Alyx, but if you’re wondering about the overarching the and complexity of the gas? Then I believe I have no say in this subject since that’s up to all of you present here to decide!”
Many people found themselves nodding in agreent with what Qian Wenhuan said. If Qian Wenhuan were to claim that the gas developed by Blackwatch would be comparable to the legendary Half-life title were true, it would generate a lot of controversies imdiately. After all, the legendary title was one to be rembered for ages to co.
“As far as cost, there’s no need to worry about it.”
Qian Wenhuan smiled. “All of the gas released on our V.1 Haptic Shock Chair platform will be free forever!”
This sent another round of applause below the stage.
What Qian Wenhuan was not aware of at this mont was the mont he made this declaration, a swarm of ssages imdiately filled the screens of live streams all over the world!
[Blacklight Biotechnology the Generous] [Buy buy buy] [Hype] [Worried] [This eggy chair is going to cost at least several thousand yuan] [Several thousand yuan? More like several thousand U.S. dollars] [Hype hype hype] [This is it this is it] [I feel so upper class watching so conference like this] [Stupid little gimmick, anyone who buys this is a clown] [Trash company] [Reported] [Yikesssss] [Stop spamming, I can’t see the stream] [I’ll give an arm for this]...
“In this case, may I know how much this haptic shock chair and the tactile suit are going to cost?”
Another reporter could not wait any longer and imdiately got up and asked.
Qian Wenhuan inspected the building anticipation among the audience as he smiled. “I suppose everyone is ready for the reveal now that I’ve been building up to it for so long.”
With that, he snapped his thumbs.
The price list imdiately appeared on the hexagonal display above the stage — V.1 Haptic Shock Chair: 8,888 U.S. Dollars, V.1 Tactile Suit: 666 U.S. Dollars.
Although the audience had ntally prepared themselves for this reveal, they still held their breath collectively.
“I know, compared to necessities like cars and hos, it’s rather pricey for just being a haptic shock chair electronic equipnt.”
Noting the crowd that had their energy drained away slightly, Qian Wenhuan gestured. “However, don’t forget that this is the very first product in the world that cos with holographic projection and brainwave manipulation technology. I can guarantee that it’s worth every dollar spent.”
Upon noting this, Qian Wenhuan suddenly shifted the topic. “Besides, if you find the haptic shock chair too pricey, we have an alternative for you.”
After he said this, he picked up the tactile suit to reveal to the audience an oddly shaped helt hiding below the tactile suit all this ti!
VR Helt!
This successfully captured everybody’s attention. anwhile, the executives of the major tech companies imdiately turned sour. Blackwatch had seated themselves at the head of the table. Were they not going to at least spare so crumbs under the table?
“V.1 Haptic Shock Helt!”
Qian Wenhuan picked up a helt to give the audience a better view. The helt was designed with a nearly identical color palette and style as the haptic shock chair. The only difference was that it was a helt.
“The V.1 Haptic Shock Helt is the sa as the V.1 Haptic Shock Chair. It’s molded using a traditional compression molding injection process. There’s a layer nano-level optical engraving texture on its shell which allows it to reflect a tallic luster when light is shone upon it. An ergonomically designed butterfly mask is implented on its inside to ensure that the projected light doesn’t leak from its openings. The part that attaches to the skin is made of protein leather which allows air to breathe through.”
Qian Wenhuan declared, “As an alternative product, the V.1 Haptic Shock Helt doesn’t utilize a holographic projection setup but instead uses two traditional independent 2.1-inch LCD screens. The full screen dinsions are 3200 x 1600 pixels and reach up to a maximum of 1058 PPI, built with interpupillary distance adjustnt function.
“Also, there are sliders for both screens. After proper configuration, users with myopia prescription within a range of 700 degrees can still see everything on the VR screen without the need for glasses!”
As Qian Wenhuan said this, he suddenly paused to build suspense again. “I know, this isn’t all that impressive since most VR glasses can achieve the sa functionalities as well. In that case, why does it have to be a helt instead of easy-to-carry glasses?”
Everyone seed to have caught his aning when he said this.
“That’s right, the V.1 Haptic Shock Helt is fitted with our company’s brainwave manipulation device — BWMR external nerve electrode. This ans that just like the Haptic Shock Chair, it accepts the user’s thoughts as input. The only thing it needs now is to be connected to a computer!”
The audience erupted with cheers as Qian Wenhuan said this. Compared to the pricey Haptic Shock Chair, the helt was more reasonable.
“The price for the V.1 Haptic Shock Helt is set at 1,888 U.S. Dollars. The V.1 Haptic Shock Helt can also be used in combination with the V.1 Tactile Suit. This ans that users can put on the helt along with the tactile suit and lay back on their couch to play VR gas. You can imrse in your own where nobody will bother you!”
After that, Qian Wenhuan called for so representatives for so demonstration on stage just like previously. After a brief round of tests, they expressed that they were pleased with its performance.
“Alright, next up is the final highlight of the conference.”
Qian Wenhuan checked the ti before informing, “Looks like we’ll need to speed this up.”
The mood in the venue that had seed to wind down a little suddenly tensed up again. It was only after the host said this when they realized the helt was not the third product ntioned. Just as the host claid, it was rely the substitute for the Haptic Shock Chair.
If even the Haptic Shock Chair was not the highlight, then just what was the highlight of this conference supposed to be?
The major tech companies were about to lose their mind when they heard this announcent. So of them already had despair written across their faces.
Surely enough, the dramatic entrance of Blackwatch into the fighting ring that was the VR market had disrupted whatever balance there was. Blackwatch had utterly imposed its will on all of the combatants.
If the VR market was a fine cuisine set on a table in a restaurant, then the people fighting at the table were the many competitors in the VR market. The sudden entrance of Blackwatch was akin to soone suddenly barging in and telling the waiter to pack everything to go for him to take ho. To add insult to injury, he even flipped the table before leaving!
Everyone was drowning in despair at this mont.
“Did nobody notice? If the central technology implented in the V.1 Haptic Shock Chair was our company’s patented ‘BWMR external nerve electrode’ technology, then what would be the product that fully utilizes our holographic projection technology?”
As Qian Wenhuan said this, the five platforms silently descended below the stage again. anwhile, he held his breath and motioned for the crowd to quiet down.
A ringing silence imdiately took over the venue.
Qian Wenhuan’s stage presence was certainly sothing to behold.
Everyone fixed their gaze on the part of the stage behind the host as a cylindrical object even larger than the Haptic Shock Chair slowly rose from a platform and presented itself before the audience!
This entire object took on a translucent form. Inside it, there were clouds of mist that constantly emitted a blue glow. The diater of the object was approximately fifty-centiters only but it stood more than two and a half ters tall.
“This cylindrical device you are seeing here is the true spotlight of today’s conference — HP 3D Simulator!”
Qian Wenhuan announced at the top of his voice, “HP here stands for Holographic Projection. Its official na is the ‘Environntal Holographic Simulator’. Its functionalities are simple and elaborate, let us take a look at an introductory clip.”
As he said this, the display above flickered...
The clip started with a piece of brisk and lodic music as the display showed a standard Western-style ho. A team of workers was then seen carrying four pearly white Environntal Holographic Simulator.
After that, the video was sped up. It beca a montage of the workers erecting these pillars on all four corners of the room. This was also when the audience noted that these pillars could perfectly attach themselves to the floor as well as the ceiling of the room.
After that, when the device seed to be connected to a power source, their originally milky white texture imdiately transitioned into a cloud of sky blue. They imdiately painted their magnificent blue luster over the canvas, which was the room.
After that, a young lady stepped inside, stretching lazily as she entered. She ca to the center of the room and seed to mouth sothing that was muffled by the music. While she did so, she also lifted her index finger and thumb and quickly swiped to the side!
The background music paused abruptly and at the sa ti, sothing wondrous happened!
Inside the video, sothing that was unmistakably a computer display manifested out of thin air in front of the young lady. The translucent display was floating mid-air. There was no doubt in the audience’s mind that this was a holographic projection!
After that, the room began to shift constantly with the young lady monitoring it. The edges of the wall and the tiles below her feet morphed into the pouring sea, there were even little fish seen swimming under the tiles. Within monts, it turned into the clouds thousands of miles above the sky. Large clouds floated everywhere in the room. It was a shocking sight.
With monts, the wall turned into a wall portrait, then into a field that stretched on forever, then it turned into a mass of skyscrapers...
In thirty seconds, the young lady continued to swipe her fingers across the air while the environnt continued to shift around her. What was most shocking was that only the scenery inside the room changes, but the furniture was barely affected at all and was still visible.
The young lady seed to still be unimpressed with all these.
The young lady continued scrolling until in the end, a dream-like sequence appeared in the room. The sky was filled with radiant rainbow colors while the ground below was an open field with hundreds of thousands of flowers blooming. Off in the distance, a mid-century castle stood mightily.
Alice in Wonderland?
This was the first thing everyone watching thought of.
The background music was building up to its chorus at this point. The lady seed to be finally content as she laid back on her bed with a satisfied smile. It felt as if she was lying on a bed of grass!
However, the young lady did not go to sleep just yet. When she blinked again, a tiny vertical screen appeared in front of her, it was a holographic phone.
After that, the screen began moving on its own. One second, she was chatting with her friends on ssaging apps and the very next second she was watching a movie on another app.
The venue was bellowing with excitent and enthusiasm with what they were seeing. People launched themselves up from their seats and cheered and applauded. Everyone was dumbfounded by what this holographic device was capable of.
“Fantasy? No, this is reality...”
The promotional clip did not contain any narration, it was only after the clip ended when Qian Wenhuan spoke, “Environntal Holographic Simulator. It allows the user to manipulate and craft a desired living environnt suited to one’s preference while also receiving broadcasted holographic signals from all over the world. This is the holographic era!
“Congratulations everyone, you’re now entering the holographic intelligence era!”
