"It can actually make sounds??"
Zhou Jiangping was shocked. What kind of technology was this?
The problem was that it was fine if others didn't understand the theory behind it, but Zhou Jiangping had a hand in the design of the switch. Even he didn't understand the principle behind the switch at first notice, which was very mysterious.
Zhou Jiangping was very familiar with the functions and structure of the switch, let alone these cardboard boxes. Zhou Jiangping watched Chen Mo put them together.
How did they have such a reaction when placed together?
Zhou Jiangping turned the paper piano around again, carefully observing its structure.
The only thing he was sure of was that the sound came from the switch itself. The game Chen Mo made was probably a simple piano simulator. As long as the player knew which key was pressed, the switch would make the corresponding sound.
The problem was, how did the switch know which key was pressed?
Zhou Jiangping focused his attention on the handle behind the piano.
"Could it be … an infrared camera?"
Zhou Jiangping remembered that there was an infrared camera on the right handle of the switch. Evidently, it could detect the movement of the keys and send this information to the switch, making the corresponding sound.
"Interesting! This thing is pretty sturdy! " Zhou Jiangping held the piano in his hands, "But … can I really play music with this thing?"
"Of course it can."
Chen Mo took the piano from Zhou Jiangping and played Gokuraku Jodo.
Zhou Jiangping was shocked. It can really play?
And the sound is pretty good too?
Of course, there wasn't an absolute standard for how good the sound was. Zhou Jiangping wasn't a music professional. Perhaps to him, there wasn't much of a difference between a hundred RMB headphones and a twenty RMB headphone. The sound of the piano depended on the speaker of the switch. But no matter what, for an amateur like Zhou Jiangping, the sound was pretty good. It wasn't much different from a normal speaker or keyboard.
Zhou Jiangping looked at the piano, "Wow! How did you come up with this? "
Chen Mo laughed, "This was a reserved function for the switch. I already had this in mind when I made the motion sensor and infrared sensor."
Zhou Jiangping asked, "Then … can you make anything else other than this piano?"
Chen Mo nodded, "Of course. There's nothing I can't think of. I'll make another one. "
After saying this, Chen Mo walked over to the pile of cardboard boxes, found a larger piece of cardboard, and finished it in one go.
The gadget he made this time was very simple. It looked like a strange robot with six legs. Of course, calling it a robot was an exaggeration. This thing only needed a piece of cardboard to make, and the six legs were just to keep it balanced.
Zhou Jiangping was still puzzled. What exactly was this thing?
Chen Mo placed the two controllers on the left and right sides of the robot, then grabbed the Switch's screen.
There were only two simple buttons on the screen. Chen Mo pressed the button on the left, and the left leg of the six-legged robot would move forward. Pressing the button on the right would move the robot's right leg forward. If one kept pressing the button without letting go, the robot would turn in a circle. If two people pressed the button together, the robot would move forward in a straight line.
Zhou Jiangping was dumbfounded. "What kind of technology is this?!"
Chen Mo passed the Switch screen to Zhou Jiangping. Zhou Jiangping was playing like a child, having a lot of fun.
The structure of the robot was very simple, and it could only move forward. However, Zhou Jiangping was very surprised by such a simple gadget.
The question was, how did he do it?
Zhou Jiangping took a closer look. The robot was completely made from a piece of corrugated paper. The six legs didn't have any mechanical parts, and couldn't even bend. So, how did this gadget move according to the Switch's requirements?
Zhou Jiangping studied it for a long time, and discovered that the secret was in the vibrations of the controller.
When the left handle vibrated, the left part of the paper robot would move forward under the effect of the vibration. As for the specific principle, Zhou Jiangping couldn't explain it, but he was sure that the paper box was relatively light, and the robot's feet were specially made into this 30-degree angle shape to allow it to walk more smoothly. If it weren't for these two points, the robot's mobility might be very poor.
"There's a special way to play with this thing. You can try the button at the bottom of the screen."
Zhou Jiangping tapped on the screen, and the robot stopped moving.
Chen Mo placed his hand about fifteen centimeters in front of the robot.
Zhou Jiangping was shocked to find that the robot actually moved!
Zhou Jiangping didn't press the Switch, nor did he give any instructions to the robot to move, but the robot actually started to move after his hand!
Moreover, the movement was very precise. Chen Mo had purposely moved his hand in different directions and made different turns, but the robot was able to keep up with him without any problems. Moreover, it was extremely responsive. Whether it was turning left or right, it was almost in sync with Chen Mo's hand movements.
It felt like he was teasing a puppy with a piece of sausage.
"Is this also the work of the infrared camera?"
Zhou Jiangpin took a closer look at the Switch's screen. There was a small display on the screen, and on it was the infrared camera on the controller. Obviously, the camera could 'see' where Chen Mo's hand was. After sending it to the Switch, the Switch would control the vibrations of the two controllers to move towards where Chen Mo's hand was.
Zhou Jiangping tried it out himself, and found that the recognition was very high. It was unimaginably smooth.
"That's insane. Everyone else uses the controller to play with the Switch, but this is using the Switch to play with the controller!"
Zhou Jiangping was completely speechless. If the previous paper piano was a little easier to understand, then this paper robot was extremely hard to understand.
So many things could be done with just these two little Switch controllers?
Vibrating the paper boxes to move? That's the creativity of a genius!
Zhou Jiangping asked, "Mr Chen, are you going to tell me that there are more fun ways to play with the Switch?"
Chen Mo laughed, "Of course there are more ways to play with it. The Switch controller is very powerful. It's a very powerful sensory device. There will be more interesting ways to play with it when it's on sale, and players will even be able to create their own playstyles. "
Zhou Jiangping was silent for a moment, then exclaimed, "This thing … is indeed much more powerful than a 3D book. What's the name of this paper box set? "
