Chapter 363 Technical Bottleneck in New Products

In fact, to put it bluntly, whether it is AR or VR, its development and popularization are restricted by three aspects: hardware, system, and content.

Hardware is the foundation and the first difficulty that must be overcome. Only by overcoming the limitations of hardware can it be possible to develop and produce software and content.

System, which is also the most important part of a technology product. Half of the quality of a product depends on the excellence of the system. A good system requires not only super high computing speed, super intelligent thinking, but also a simple and comfortable interactive system.

In addition to the UI interface, this interactive system also includes human-computer interaction methods and so on.

The content is the most important thing for a product to attract people. The previous hardware and system are just to build a communication and interaction bridge between people and content for the content.

Good content can often make a product popular. This is like when MP3 and MP4 format music and movies were popular more than ten years ago, it quickly made the MP3 Walkman and MP4 player that had just entered the market at that time popular.

The same example is actually after the game of eating chicken became popular in the past, because the demand for computer hardware, especially memory, is relatively high. Therefore, almost overnight, it drove the development of the entire computer hardware market, especially the memory stick market, and the price of memory sticks doubled several times in a short period of time.

Another example is that after the release of some popular games, it drives the sales performance of related Xbox or PS game consoles. These are classic cases where content drives product development.

So regarding the content, Wu Hao attaches great importance to it. Before that, he set up a special project team to be responsible for this aspect. Later, after Lin Wei's "Wei Media" was established, he handed over the matter to Lin Wei to take over the responsibility.

In addition to aggressively buying some film and television and game copyrights, Wu Hao also asked Lin Wei to enter the live broadcast of sports events, actively communicate with several major football and basketball events, and strive to obtain the live broadcast copyrights in this area.

At the same time, they are also using the intelligent 3D rendering technology they have developed to develop and produce related games, film and television animation works. Strive to produce some eye-catching high-quality games and film and television animation works at the same time when related products are released.

However, for Wu Hao and the others, the current priority is to complete the research and development of related project products.

That's right, this time they included AR and VR together in the research and development plan, and carried out research and development simultaneously. Although these two products have certain differences, they still have a lot in common in some aspects. Therefore, R\u0026D at the same time seems to disperse forces, but in fact they can be regarded as mutual promotion and complement each other.

At present, what the two R\u0026D teams are facing together is the difficulty of display technology. The popular point is that the technology of display screen has not been overcome.

Whether it is AR or VR, there is an important component that cannot be avoided, and that is the screen. Although the requirements of the two are different, there are also many commonalities.

For example, the two teams reached a tacit agreement on the choice of the direction of display screen technology.

First of all, the two teams still expect to make a breakthrough with the TFT-LCD panel production factory and research institute in Shudu.

Since Wu Hao and the others bought the TFT-LCD panel production factory in Shudu, after some rectification and transformation, they immediately organized the relevant workers to start running slowly, and always maintained a low production speed.

And the products produced are also supplied to relevant mobile phone and TV brand manufacturers at low prices. Wu Hao and the others didn't intend to make this factory profitable immediately, but hoped that it could maintain a low level of operation so that the production line would not stop being abandoned.

At the same time, they also started recruiting on a large scale and established a new generation of display panel research institute in this factory.

The main task of this display panel research institute is to develop a new generation of display panels through some "special technical information" "given" by Wu Hao.

This includes a new generation of 8K240HZ LCD high-definition display panels, as well as 'independently developed' LCD transparent display panels.

Although I have obtained some technical information provided by Wu Hao, the development progress of the hardware is much slower than that of the software, and the two projects are still under development. Although there have been certain research results, there is still a long way to go before practical requirements.

Therefore, both AR and VR are currently paying close attention to the research and development progress of the Shudu Facial Research Institute. It can be said that it has reached a stage of waiting for the rice to be cooked.

Of course, it is impossible for the two teams to just wait like this. While they are waiting, they are also developing Plan B.

The setting of plan B is a backup plan to prevent the failure of the research and development project at the Shudu Panel Research Institute, and it is also an attempt by the R\u0026D team to develop a new display technology.

This solution is also the inspiration suddenly inspired by the R\u0026D team when watching 3D movies, that is, whether it is possible to use micro-projection technology to project the picture on the corresponding screen through optical lenses to realize the display of the content.

In this way, there is no need to wait for the results of the screen research and development over there. Compared with the screen, this projection method is more energy-saving, less harmful to the eyes, and theoretically less technically difficult.

However, the technical difficulty of micro-integrating projection technology into a device the size of a pair of glasses has never been imagined by the R\u0026D team members.

The projection technology is ready-made, and they don't need to carry out research and development. Moreover, there are many kinds of projection technologies on the market at present, so they have a lot of room for choice. But no matter what kind of technology it is, it is difficult to miniaturize and integrate them into such a small area and place them in an area the size of an eyeglass lens while maintaining the clarity of the picture.

And there is another disadvantage of projection technology, that is, it is a light and shadow technology, so it is very sensitive to light. The closed environment in which VR is isolated from the outside world is good, which can eliminate the influence of this kind of external light.

But AR is not good. It must interact with the outside environment. Not only is it easily affected by the intensity of light, but it is also difficult to match and track the surrounding environment.

There is another problem, which is also the most fatal, that is, the angle between the lens group used for projection and the screen must be precise enough. Therefore, this requires that the entire device must be kept in a sufficiently stable environment and not be affected by the external environment as much as possible.

But Wu Hao and the others are making AR and VR glasses. Whether it is daily wear or some sports bumps, it may affect the accuracy of its lens group and light and shadow projection.

Although these can be solved by adjustment and correction, the increased difficulty of use is undoubtedly not conducive to the promotion and use of this product.

So after turning around, the two R\u0026D project teams pinned their hopes on the Display Panel Research Institute in Shudu.
