Silicon Valley

In fact, as early as the 1990s, the theory of virtual technology was very mature, but the corresponding VR helmets were still conceptual products.

A VR helmet called Virtuality-1000CS that appeared in 1991 fully demonstrated the embarrassment of VR products: bulky appearance, single function, and expensive price.

Despite this, the fire of VR games was also planted during this period, but the strides are too big, and it is easy to scratch the egg, and the thinking that is too advanced is sometimes difficult to support the cruel reality. The Virtual-Boy console launched by Nintendo in 1995 was rated as one of the 50 Worst Inventions in History by Time Magazine. The hasty launch of the market caused the hardware to be supported by a tripod instead of a head-mounted device. Color, accessory game works skipped votes one after another. Virtual-Boy survived only six months on the market before disappearing, and the first attempt at VR games disappeared with it.

Since then, VR seems to have been poured with a basin of cold water, and the upsurge of research has been extinguished in an instant!

Just imagine, even the game giant Nintendo has fallen on this, who would dare to try it easily? !

Others dare not, but Henry does!

As a reborn person, he knows that VR is the trend of future development, so he recruited Junpei Yokoi, the leader of Nintendo's hardware department, to join Atari without hesitation, mainly engaged in VR research. After 12 years, the development of VR virtual reality technology is very slow in the outside world, but inside Atari, the technology is developing rapidly, and it is quite mature now!

In the previous life, the reason why VR became popular again was because in 2012, a newly established company named Oculus launched a crowdfunding plan for VR equipment on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter, and was subsequently acquired by Facebook for $2 billion! As one of the high-tech giants, Facebook's every move has attracted the attention of many media and companies! Others see that Facebook has entered the VR market, which shows that this market has huge potential, so they quickly follow suit. All of a sudden, VR is hot! The world's major high-tech giants, Google, Microsoft and other companies are not far behind, and have entered the VR market one after another! ! !

Lotus Stadium.

As soon as Henry's voice fell, the audience couldn't help being in an uproar.

Not to mention how mature VR technology has become, just using brain waves to control game characters is already shocking!

In fact, many reporters were very skeptical of what Henry said.

In their extremely limited cognition, VR technology is still immature, bulky and expensive, and the level of virtual reality is at best unsatisfactory, far from the feeling of being on the scene! Not to mention the black technology of controlling game characters with brain waves.

It's just that when Henry Chrysostom opened his mouth, he never said anything false, so it was difficult for people to question his words, and they were quite conflicted in their hearts.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing!

Henry naturally understood this truth, and he immediately asked people to put on props and took out the VR helmet and brain wave helmet respectively.

The VR helmet bid farewell to the crude benzene in the past, with a simple design, white, light, and looks like a pair of glasses, while the brain wave helmet is like a metal female bell hat popular in the United States from the 1920s to 1933, with a large number of built-in The sensor can accurately collect the brain waves of the human brain. Pointing to these two things, Henry introduced: The one on the left is a VR helmet, and the one on the right is a brain wave helmet! As you can see, the two functions of VR and brain waves have not been combined at present. But we are confident that this is not too big problem. Now, I will let you demonstrate the function of the brain wave helmet first! After a pause, Henry said, Gene Umbrella, Atari, and Firefly Games have jointly developed a game called Flying Saucer Great War”! This game is a 3D space combat competitive game. Players can choose a lineup through the Internet. One lineup is the Earth Alliance, and the other lineup is the Mars Alliance. Destroying the opponent’s planet can be judged as the final victory! The game can accommodate up to 100 Players compete at the same time, with 50 players on both sides. Now, the 10 staff around me have worn brain wave helmets at the moment, and the other 90 people, I would like to invite the guests on the scene to experience it! Because the number of people on the scene is too large There are so many, I won’t pick them one by one. When the light hits you, it means that you are the lucky one tonight. Please come to the stage and sit in the seat we designated, and we will send a brain wave to each of you helmet!

As soon as Henry finished speaking, the audience was inexplicably excited. At this moment, 90 beams of light flashed around until Henry yelled stop.

Hahaha, I've been chosen!

I was chosen too!

...

Many people at the scene couldn't help cheering.

Henry smiled and said, Tonight's lucky ones, please come on stage!

After a while, all these people rushed to the stage. An EEG helmet has been placed on each of their seats, and the staff began to guide them how to use it. After three minutes, everyone put on their brain wave helmets.

Seeing this, Henry gave the order to start the game!

Everyone, please pay attention to the big LCD screen now, the game will start soon!

As soon as the voice fell, the game of UFO Wars began. UFO Wars is a game with a high degree of simulation. The background of the game is in the solar system. The pictures are realistic and beautiful, as if you are really in space. In fact, the pilots of the Williams Empire often use this game in their daily training. In the screen, the prototype of the flying saucer driven by each player is the flying saucer secretly developed by Williams Empire at the moment. The flying saucer project started in 2004. It took three years to successfully develop its prototype ! Henry was thinking that on April 20 next year, a military parade would be held on the National Day of the Williams Empire, and then, a flying saucer would suddenly descend from the sky, scaring everyone to death! Ha ha……

Of course, if nothing else, Williams Empire's flying saucer will definitely attract everyone's attention! By then, the game Flying Saucer Wars will be popular all over the world!

At this moment, the audience burst into laughter. Those players who are playing this game for the first time are not used to playing with brainwave helmets at all, and Oolong incidents such as crashing into planes or shooting out teammates frequently occur. However, after a few games, everyone quickly became familiar with it. It can fly wherever you want the flying saucer to fly, and even hit it wherever you point. But the enemy flying saucer is not a stationary target. The speed of the opponent is very fast. To attack it, you must make a prediction, judge its flying position in advance, and then launch an attack!

Whoosh! ! !

Boom boom boom! ! !

Countless lasers and cannon fire are coming and going in space, so exciting!

Hehe, let's see where you go, launch a laser cannon attack!

I flash!

Damn it, I got hit again!

Many players yelled while playing, how could the word Hi be so good, it really made other people watching it envious.

Fuck, watching them play, my hands are itchy. Why is my luck so bad, why didn't I be selected?!! Sigh...
