The conference of the holographic glasses was divided into two versions.
The live version and the external publicity version.
The external publicity version was limited by the imaging effect of the traditional display and only did a publicity explanation similar to the conference. It introduced the holographic glasses, virtual reality, and the supporting hardware equipment.
There was a host and several product demonstration guides.
The entire conference process looked normal and was no different from the past.
The live version of the conference was composed of 12,000 lucky users and the guests who went to the conference site to receive the holographic glasses.
Instead of going to a conference, it was better to say that they had transmigrated to a brand new world.
In that world, they had tasted the tip of the iceberg of virtual reality.
It was the tip of the iceberg that made these people fall into an uncontrollable restlessness after the product conference. Out of the 10,200 lucky users, none of them chose to refund their deposit.
After the conference ended, Monster Industries' flagship store and official website also opened the order channel to the public.
However …
In the hour after the order channel was opened, the sales were not ideal.
The holographic glasses sold in 51 flagship stores were only ordered by more than 27,000 people in an hour. The number of orders for the primordial spirit gloves and universal treadmills was only more than 3,000.
The core of virtual reality was how to synchronize the interaction between virtual reality and reality.
If one wanted to interact, then walking freely in the virtual world was the most basic and important operation.
After all, the holographic glasses were not a tube behind the head. If the user wanted to do all kinds of actions in the virtual world, it was impossible for them to be motionless in reality.
They had to be able to walk freely, and the user had to wear the primordial spirit gloves to achieve most of the interactive functions in the virtual world.
This problem might be as difficult as ascending to the sky for traditional VR equipment manufacturers.
However, for Monster Industries, it was indeed the easiest one to solve among all the supporting hardware.
There were two kinds of walking solutions for traditional VR equipment. One was a mechanical universal treadmill. The user stood on the treadmill and could run or walk in four directions. The other was a little funny. The user needed to stand in a concave semicircular device and wear special shoes. It completely relied on reducing friction to simulate the effect of walking.
Both of these solutions had huge flaws. The former was expensive, the direction was only in the front, back, left, and right of the machine, and the feedback speed of the machine could not keep up with the user's flexible posture.
The latter was a smooth shell with a pair of special low-friction shoes.
When the user stood on it, they had to firmly fix themselves in the middle of the equipment. When they walked, it was as strange and uncomfortable as if they were drunk.
Monster Industries provided two solutions.
One was the civilian version of the universal treadmill, and the other was a full-posture simulator that required the use of the Primordial Spirit Set.
The price of the Universal Treadmill was very affordable. It only cost a little more than 4,600 RMB, which was the same price as the high-end treadmills on the market.
It consisted of a circular platform with an area of 1.5 square meters and two attitude capture sensors erected at the edge.
A normal treadmill could only move forward and backward. The Universal Treadmill, which was not fully developed yet on the market, had an active working mode and a lateral movement mode. As for the Monster Industries, in addition to front, back, left, and right, it could also rotate horizontally and tilt at a maximum of 25 degrees.
It inherited the sci-fi design style of Monster Industries, and came in black and white colors.
As long as the user stood on it, it didn't matter if it was jumping, walking, running, or squatting. The attitude capture sensor could accurately capture the direction of the user's movement.
And without delay, the platform was driven to move in the opposite direction to offset the user's movement in any direction.
Standing on the Universal Treadmill, the user's exercise experience was no different from that on flat ground. When the user walked on a slope or mountain, the Universal Treadmill could also provide a maximum tilt of 25 degrees.
This Universal Treadmill alone could amaze the world.
Unfortunately, at the launch of the holographic glasses, the host was not willing to spend time introducing it at all. He only said, "It can give users a perfect exercise experience."
Because it was not worth mentioning in the entire hardware system of virtual reality, there were too many products that needed to be introduced.
1744。
This was the number of Universal Treadmills that were ordered in an hour.
Perhaps most users who bought the Universal Treadmill were holding the idea that they seemed to lack a treadmill at home, so they might as well buy this super-sci-fi looking treadmill on the way home.
…
In an hour, more than 27,000 holographic glasses were sold offline and more than 55,000 were sold online.
An hour was not enough for users to understand the amazement of the holographic glasses.
But in an hour, it was enough for the media and the 12,000 lucky users who had already experienced the holographic glasses to speak up.
With the current fame of Monster Industries, even if they launched a new screw bolt, there would be media websites willing to occupy space to report on it.
Not to mention a holographic glasses that claimed to be able to open a whole new world?
Almost on the spot at the end of the press conference, there was a media special report on the holographic glasses on the Internet.
— — Holographic glasses, can they lead the VR era?
No matter in any industry or activity, the word "first" would always be given a different meaning.
News reports that pursued timeliness naturally cared more about the word first.
The first to launch a report was [Hua Xia Headline] news.
Huaxia Headlines was a company that gathered users' interests and promoted personalized news. There were also music, movies, games, technology, and other diversified news integrated media.
Today, Hua Xia Headline had become the largest news integrated media group in addition to the official news. Its users covered nearly half of the Internet users.
Making news ~
If they waited for the dust to settle and then collected information to write a report, they would only be trampled on by their peers until there was nothing left of them.
If they wanted to report news first-hand, especially major news.
They had to immediately organize editors and reporters to collect relevant information and write news content when relevant events or activities had just begun. They had to be the first to report it before their peers had finished their work.
Of course, Hua Xia Headline had such a manpower advantage.
Since Monster Industries announced that they would hold a product launch of the holographic glasses, Mao Yang, the chief editor of the science and technology news department of Hua Xia Headline, personally went into battle and gathered the staff in the office to collect information related to the holographic glasses.
When the launch was about to begin, he asked his reporters to set up cameras at the entrance of Monster Industries' flagship store to capture consumers' enthusiasm for the holographic glasses. Two reporters were also sent to the Monster Industries launch site for real-time interviews.
In the opinion of Chief Editor Mao Yang, the holographic glasses should be an upgraded version of the VR series, but better in imaging technology and content.
The theme of VR was no stranger to Chief Editor Mao Yang. From domestic third-rate manufacturers to world-famous technology companies, they had all jumped the VR pit.
It was not surprising that Monster Industries also jumped here.
With the knowledge in his heart, Chief Editor Mao Yang naturally appeared to be at ease when writing the holographic glasses topic. So before the launch began, his news feature was already more than half completed.
It was also because of his sufficient understanding of VR that Chief Editor Mao Yang certainly did not have too much expectation for the holographic glasses.
This was not his opinion alone. The entire media industry and technology industry had the same opinion as him when they learned that Monster Industries was going to launch holographic glasses.
VR was a sinkhole.
Chief Editor Mao Yang, who did not have too much expectation for the holographic glasses, focused more on the writing of the content of the topic. Instead of paying attention to the holographic glasses launch site and the live situation at the flagship store.
Chief Editor Mao Yang used the title of a question to conclude the entire topic.
At the moment the launch had just ended, Chief Editor Mao Yang pushed this topic out.
Hua Xia Headline was the leading comprehensive news media in the country. This was also a topic related to the Monster Industries launch site personally written by the chief editor, so naturally, it enjoyed the greatest promotion.
So for a time, Hua Xia Headline's topic news could be seen everywhere on the Internet and mobile phones.
The moment people discovered this topic news, they clicked on it as quickly as possible.
