Many hardware manufacturers were racing against time to develop new devices. Although it was close to the Lunar New Year, none of them dared to slack off.
After all, time was of the essence in the IT industry. If a product was released a few days later than their competitors, they could lose a large portion of the market.
Many hardware manufacturers had set their smart devices to be released before the Lunar New Year. It was a very tight time, but they had no other choice.
This was because the players were looking forward to new devices. Whoever released a new product first would be able to attract the attention of the players. If it was released too late, unless the product had a unique niche, it was easy to be buried.
Many tech media and manufacturers were bragging about the arrival of a 'new era of intelligence' in order to build momentum. They even talked about the possibility of a variety of cool smart devices. Some of these were achievable, some were difficult to achieve, but no matter what, the wind was blowing.
There was demand in the market, so the hardware manufacturers had to produce it as quickly as possible.
…
On the other hand, the myth of Doomsday continued.
So far, "Doomsday" had won more than 20 annual gaming awards around the world, with almost no exceptions.
Moreover, Uncharted Waters and PUBG were also nominated for Game of the Year, without exception.
This made many of the players who were looking forward to it feel a little bored. After all, there was no doubt that all three of these games would be nominated for Game of the Year, and the winner would definitely be Doomsday!
So far, no one even cared about the numbers. They only cared about the last heavyweight video game media award, TGN's Game of the Year!
As one of the most authoritative video game reviewers in the world, many people felt that TGN was the most important award. Even if Doomsday won all the previous Game of the Year awards, it would still be a shame if it didn't win TGN's Game of the Year.
In the experience store.
Chen Mo made some arrangements for the Lunar New Year period, then prepared to attend TGN's awards ceremony.
It was fine if he didn't go to the other awards ceremonies, but he had to go to TGN. After all, it was one of the top awards ceremonies. Only by winning the Game of the Year award would Doomsday be complete.
However, before Chen Mo left, Zhou Jiangping sent him some good news.
The sample of the MR smart glasses had been made, and the test results were basically up to standard. It only needed subsequent optimization.
Chen Mo was pleasantly surprised. He thought the samples wouldn't be out until after Chinese New Year. It seemed like Le Hui's efficiency was quite good.
Coincidentally, Chen Mo could get a sample of the smart glasses from Zhou Jiangping before leaving the country, and try it out on his way to TGN.
…
In Zhou Jiangping's office, Chen Mo took the MR smart glasses sample.
From the looks of it, it was very similar to Chen Mo's previous sketches, with only a few minor changes and optimizations. The main body of the glasses was black and stored in a pure white box. Because it was a sample, there was no complicated packaging or logo. It was very simple.
Zhou Jiangping explained, "The operating system is basically modified from the mobile phone's operating system. At the moment, there isn't enough time to port too many applications. There are only a few relatively simple functions such as navigation, translation, internet access, and valuation. However, it is equipped with a simple artificial intelligence that can initially realize the functions of an AI butler. "
Chen Mo nodded, "Yes, that's pretty fast."
Zhou Jiangping said, "I plan to release the first version before the Spring Festival. What do you think?"
Chen Mo thought for a bit, "Isn't it a little rushed? The performance isn't optimal, and there aren't enough applications to port. "
"I know that." Zhou Jiangping said, "The problem is that I know a few tech companies are planning to release new products before the Spring Festival. If we can't promote our smart glasses in advance, we'll be at a disadvantage."
Chen Mo shook his head, "We'll have to wait no matter what. The players have high expectations for the smart glasses, but if we release a version that isn't mature enough, it'll only dampen their enthusiasm for the new device. Moreover, it'll affect our reputation. My suggestion is to delay it until the Spring Festival, or even later. "
Zhou Jiangping nodded, "That makes sense. However, we still need to promote the new product in advance, right? "
"Of course, we need to at least let the players know that we're also making smart glasses, and that we're making good progress. We can delay the release as much as we want. " Chen Mo played with the smart glasses in his hand, "I'll advertise the smart glasses for free at TGN. I'll leave the rest to you guys. We need to make a stable and reliable version before the Spring Festival. I don't want this thing to be buggy after it's released. "
Zhou Jiangping was pleasantly surprised, "You're wearing it to TGN? That'd be great, the promotion would be great. Don't worry, we'll definitely make it complete before the Spring Festival. We'll try to officially release it during the Spring Festival! "
…
…
On the day of the TGN Awards.
Countless Chinese players were in front of their computers, waiting for the announcement of the Game of the Year.
"It's finally TGN's turn. Chen Mo's basically swept the board this year if he wins TGN's Game of the Year, right?"
"Of course he's swept the board. He even won the Game of the Year award. USA Apocalypse is a masterpiece, there's nothing to doubt!"
"Chen Mo will probably get quite a few awards this year. What's the first award he's likely to get? "
"Hmm … it should be the Player's Choice Award? The most popular game among players is probably PlayerUnknown's Battleground. "
"It's coming, I want to see Chen Mo on stage!"
The players were still a little nervous. The Game of the Year would only be announced at the end, but the first few awards also represented the quality of the game. Many people felt that Chen Mo would get a lot of awards, but no one knew if he would get any of the smaller awards.
The host spoke at a moderate pace, keeping the audience in suspense, "I hereby announce that the most popular game of the year is … Thunderbolt Games' PUBG!"
Chen Mo stood up from his seat and walked onto the stage amidst the warm applause.
He was wearing a fitted suit and looked very energetic. However, what surprised everyone was the pair of glasses he wore on his head.
The glasses were of a moderate size, quite eye-catching, but not bulky or cumbersome. From the front, it looked like goggles, but without the ugly frames. There were also other devices on the sides of the ears and the back of the head, making it look very high-tech.
It looked a bit like the Lady Swordsmen's skin in Project Origin, but more subdued.
Many of the players in front of their screens were confused when they saw Chen Mo's new look.
"What the heck, what's with those glasses? They look quite handsome. "
"Myopia? Goggles? They don't look like them, they look like smart glasses … "
"The design isn't bad, but it can't only be used to protect one's vision, right?"
