While the VR gaming pod was being developed, new VR games were also being developed at the same time.
Chen Mo wasn't worried about the development of the new game as the framework was still the same, it was just that the way the players entered the virtual world was different.
Most of the previous VR games could be made into next-gen VR versions, but there would be a lot of minor adjustments as the neural connection would increase the difficulty of the game. Moreover, the uncontrollable behavior of the players would also increase exponentially. These were all issues that had to be taken into consideration when making the game.
For example, if Chen Mo wanted to make Dark Souls into next-gen VR, he wouldn't be able to just change the way the players connected their minds. There were two problems.
First, the players might actually have to roll around in the mud, and if they didn't roll properly, they would be cut down. This was much more difficult to do than if they could just do it with their minds.
Second, the players would be able to climb up knee-high stairs without any effort, and could even climb up to half a person's height. Wouldn't the level design be a complete mess?
Giving the players more freedom meant that the game would need more complicated rules and designs to avoid the problems that came with having more freedom, and this would require a lot of work.
Therefore, there was no rush in porting these games.
As an interactive movie game, Detroit: Become Human was relatively simple to operate, allowing players to get a good grasp of the game. After the game was released, he would see the reaction of the players before deciding on future development plans.
…
January 17th.
A brand new VR gaming pod was sent to Thunderbolt Entertainment's headquarters and moved into Chen Mo's office.
The VR gaming pod went through a week of testing with the Game Committee and related technology departments. The neuroscientists and VR professionals confirmed that it wasn't harmful to the human brain, which was why they brought it to Chen Mo.
During this time, Chen Mo had been visiting the Game Committee quite a bit, giving him quite a bit of a headache.
After all, the new VR gaming pod had too many applications. Some people liked it, some people wanted it, some people doubted it … There were all sorts of issues that had to be considered.
Although it was a virtual reality game, the VR gaming pod could be used in many different areas, such as military, medical, etc. Therefore, it wasn't up to the Game Committee to decide if it could be used or how it could be used. It required a lot of communication and coordination between different departments.
Of course, to Chen Mo, this was a fight between immortals. It had nothing to do with him.
Chen Mo had no choice but to use the IQ reduction auras that he had saved up to finally be able to sell the VR gaming pod on the market.
Was there any risk to it?
Actually, Chen Mo knew that there was basically no risk in this thing. Just like the other technological advancements that the System had pushed, the System's products were trustworthy. However, even if others didn't know, there would still be people who would be suspicious.
However, when the prospects of something were big enough and involved enough benefits, even if it had some risks, it would still be promoted vigorously.
Things like cigarettes, which were obviously harmful to the human body, were still being sold well, and had even become a pillar industry in some regions.
Therefore, up until now, the new VR game cabin had basically obtained the license to be sold on the market.
The only question was … could it achieve the desired effect?
There were a few VIPs in Chen Mo's office.
Zhou Jiangping from Le Hui's side was already here, Qiao Hua and Zhang Zhongxiang from the Game Committee were also here. There were also a few neuroscience experts and VR experts.
These people had all come here for …
To witness a historic moment.
There were even people holding cameras to record the entire process, and there were even several cameras set up.
This was because Chen Mo had a request, which was to be the first to try out the VR gaming pod.
Logically speaking, it was normal to get a few volunteers to test it out, but Chen Mo was insistent, "You can get volunteers to test it out, but it has to be after I try it out."
Zhou Jiangping and Qiao Hua wanted to dissuade Chen Mo from doing so, as the new thing would be connected to the brain. It was best not to put yourself in danger before confirming its safety, but seeing how determined Chen Mo was, they didn't say anything.
The Game Committee's tests had already shown that this thing was basically harmless to humans, but most people were still a bit afraid. After all, not everyone had the courage to be the first to try it out.
Chen Mo smiled at everyone before lying down in the VR gaming pod.
The door of the gaming pod closed with a click.
Through the transparent door, everyone could clearly see what was going on inside.
After Chen Mo laid down, the top half of the Neural Interface Helmet was buckled down to the bottom of the VR gaming pod, covering Chen Mo's entire head. The indicator light lit up, indicating that he was about to enter hypnosis and enter a subconscious state.
At the same time, the life protection system was activated. Special restraints were placed on Chen Mo's chest, waist, arms, wrists, legs, and ankles. The tightness was just right to prevent any injuries. Moreover, there was a special groove where Chen Mo was lying down. The material was just right, and the structure was ergonomic, allowing him to lie down for a long time without feeling tired or sore.
The life protection system was used to monitor the player's vital signs, and the data was transmitted to a screen outside the gaming pod.
All vital signs were normal, breathing and heartbeat were stable, indicating that Chen Mo was slowly entering a state of hypnosis and preparing to enter the virtual world.
There were two large screens outside the VR gaming pod, both of which were still completely black.
However, two minutes later, images appeared on the two screens.
One of the screens showed Chen Mo's first person view, similar to the first person view of the original VR equipment, while the other screen showed a third person view, as if there was a camera taking pictures from any angle in the virtual world.
At this time, Chen Mo was in an illusory space. Everywhere he looked was white.
"So, why did you choose this as the test location? Wouldn't it have been better to choose a beach mansion? "Chen Mo's voice came from the speakers outside the gaming pod.
Everyone was excited. Zhang Zhongxiang said through the microphone, "How is it, Chen Mo? Can you hear me? How are you feeling? "
Chen Mo looked around, as if trying to find the camera in the virtual space and the source of the voice, "I'm fine, Chairman Zhang. I'm feeling great. My breathing is stable, my heartbeat is strong, I feel like I'm full of energy … like an athlete. "
Qiao Hua explained, "Yes, the data for the test was selected from gymnasts. Perhaps you could try doing a one-arm circle in the virtual world."
"Forget it, you didn't prepare a horizontal bar for me," Chen Mo said, "But, I think I could try doing a backflip."
Chen Mo tried to push off with both legs and lean back.
Then, he landed on the ground with his back facing the wall.
A neuroscientist on the side said, "Mr. Chen, although your fitness in the virtual world is up to standard, your brain doesn't have the skills to do backflips, and you don't know how to use every muscle."
Chen Mo got up from the ground and patted his butt, "I know. I've adjusted the pain, right? I felt like I fell on cotton when I hit the ground, I didn't feel anything. I feel like I'll succeed if I fall a dozen more times. "
