The eleventh of February, the seventh day of the new year.
As the new year was over, most people had returned from their hometowns to start a new year of work.
No one realized that today was going to be a special day. Maybe they were complaining about the prices, or maybe they were complaining about the difficulties at work, or maybe they were looking for new discounted games and VR gaming pods online. They thought that today was going to be a very ordinary day as usual.
However, the high definition promotional video that appeared on Thunderbolt Gaming Platform's homepage changed everything.
"Next Gen VR Experience: Matrix gaming pod is about to be released!"
In the beginning, everyone thought it was the same as the Matrix glasses, it was just Chen Mo and Le Hui extending their hands from the smart glasses to the VR gaming pod.
Most people's first reaction was that it was a Chinese gaming pod that focused on quality. Perhaps it would be linked to games on Thunderbolt Gaming Platform, but it wouldn't be too expensive.
However, after watching the promotional video, everyone was dumbfounded.
What the hell?
Many people even doubted that it wasn't fake advertising. Next gen VR technology like this was already in the realm of high tech, right?
…
The first thing that appeared at the start of the promotional video was a wheelchair.
The guy got out of bed and got into the wheelchair with the help of his wife. He left his bedroom, washed up, had a cup of coffee, and had breakfast.
The camera flashed by as the guy in the wheelchair walked past a certain room, allowing everyone to see the exterior of the gaming pod.
It was very different from the VR gaming pods available today. Not only was it smaller, but it also had a high-tech feel to it.
The guy's wife went to work, while the guy pushed the wheelchair to the desk and started working on his computer.
The scenery outside the window changed quickly. After lunch, the sun slowly set, leaving only the afterglow of the setting sun.
The man in the wheelchair finally finished his work for the day. He stretched himself and smiled.
He went to the room with the VR gaming pod in his wheelchair, opened the door, climbed into the gaming pod using the handrail, and laid down.
Inside the gaming pod, the helmet, restraints, and the door closed. His vital signs appeared on the screen outside the gaming pod.
The scenery changed instantly.
The guy in the wheelchair opened his eyes and found himself in a whole new world.
His entire person had become a highly realistic game character, and the surrounding scenery had become a futuristic world full of technology.
On the display screens of the skyscrapers, there were advertisements for various androids, flyovers, viaducts, vehicles, airships, small triangular aircraft … Everything was unique, full of a sense of technology and futuristic.
The bustling shops along the street, the endless stream of pedestrians, the post-modern art sculptures in the square, and the church that looked quite old — this feeling of a high degree of integration of modern and future gave people a unique feeling of familiarity and strangeness.
The young man in the wheelchair no longer needed to sit in the wheelchair. He took a deep breath of fresh air, and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face. Then, he began to run, passing through the bustling crowd, crossing the crosswalk, avoiding self-driving taxis, and passing through the booth selling robots …
He happily jumped, somersaulted, and did parkour on the railing, enjoying the feeling of running freely.
As a result, he accidentally fell down the stairs.
"Ouch …" The young man in the wheelchair rubbed his buttocks. It hurt a lot.
He stood up and found that there were flowers blooming next to the flower bed he fell on. He took a deep breath and had an intoxicated expression on his face.
Suddenly, a football flew toward the young man in the wheelchair. The young man in the wheelchair reacted quickly and turned around to catch it.
Two children ran over. "Sorry, brother, can you return the ball to us?"
The young man in the wheelchair smiled and looked at the two kids who were playing in the square. He tossed the ball up and began to bounce it.
Every time he bounced the ball, the movement was different. Sometimes it was higher, sometimes it was lower, and sometimes it almost failed. The young man quickly changed his posture to save the ball.
The two children cheered around him, their eyes full of admiration.
The young man in the wheelchair caught the ball and handed it to the two children.
He looked at the bustling virtual city and smiled.
[Imagine what kind of experience the next-generation VR based on brain and neural connection technology will bring you.
[Here, you will be able to experience all the sensations in the real world: smell, touch, taste …]
[Here, you can do any action in the real world, even actions that can't be done in the real world.
[Here, you will have complete freedom in the virtual world.]
[Matrix VR gaming pod, experience a second life that you've never experienced before.]
…
The internet went wild after the trailer was released!
If today was April 1st, everyone would have thought it was an April Fool's joke.
Neuro-connected VR was already made? Stop messing around!
Obviously, the trailer was trying to highlight this concept. It wasn't strange for a young man with two legs to be able to play a virtual game. The key was that he could smell the flowers in the game and move freely in any position. Moreover, this level of immersion was way better than traditional VR gaming pods!
Especially the tagline at the end, it told everyone that this was the next-generation VR based on brain and neural connection technology!
"My goodness, are you serious? Is Chen Mo putting on a show? Our country has already created such an awesome thing? "
"Neuro-connected VR? Isn't that the same as transmigrating? If it's really possible, then it's the next-generation VR technology! "
"I, I don't believe it … There's no way the Game Committee wouldn't make a move with such a huge commotion. There's no way the tech media wouldn't report on it. "
"Who says there's no movement? I heard that the top designers in China have already been contacted by the Game Committee. Many of them are even working on new VR gaming pods, but they're keeping it a secret. Not many people know about it!"
"It's here, it's here. The Game Committee and the Fantasy Game Engine have confirmed it. It's real!"
"Many tech media outlets have also posted about it! This … feels like it's real! "
"It seems that this news is true, but I want to say, could this be false publicity? Can it really be that good? "
"How much is it? I'm going to spend money if there's really something like this!? "
…
The news was on the level of a nuclear weapon, spreading across China and the world in an instant.
All of a sudden, there were all sorts of speculations about this new device. Many people didn't know how it worked, how it worked, or what its specifications were.
