This was a serious meeting.
At least, after these presidents obtained the information they wanted from Tim about how to obtain virtual coins.
Then they used a dense tree as the meeting place, and several presidents gathered around the tree trunk, either squatting or sitting.
Tim, the leader of the Apple Sect, was sitting on a stone stool, his legs crossed in high-top military boots, shaking restlessly.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and finally, Google's vice president, Anderton, spoke first.
Among the presidents of technology companies present, Google's product project was the closest to the idea of Monster Industries' Internet products. And Google had also tried to develop glasses-like wearable electronic products a few years ago, and invested a lot of money in product development and promotion, with the intention of guiding the future of the next generation of Internet.
Of course ~
They failed, and they failed completely.
Google's vice president, Anderton, smiled bitterly and said, "I think today will be the most meaningful day in the history of Internet technology."
"We're all sitting together, under this tree."
"But we all understand that this tree doesn't exist, the ground under our feet doesn't exist, and even all of us don't exist in this space, because the entire space is virtual."
After that, Anderton stomped the ground with his foot.
The dull echo and the dust that was gently shaken told Anderton that all of this was extremely real. "If it weren't for the slightly cartoonish appearance of your characters reminding me, I definitely wouldn't be able to distinguish between virtual and reality."
"Authenticity is very difficult for me to understand." Apple's leader, Tim, said, "In virtual reality, it's not wrong to make characters slightly cartoonish. If we don't do this, it's likely that users won't be able to distinguish between reality and virtual reality. "
"But, how did the technicians of Monster Industries realize the authenticity of other materials in the virtual world from the hardware and software aspects?"
"When I came here on my motorcycle to meet everyone, I could even feel the bumpiness of the road because of the rugged road."
"This feeling is no different from driving in the real world."
Google's vice president, Anderton, spread out his hands. "I can't understand it either."
"We, Google, are the first technology company in the world to involve AR and virtual concepts, but before Monster Industries, we still couldn't find a solution to solve the hardware and algorithm problems."
"Let me give you an example."
Anderton clapped his hands and gestured for everyone to turn and look in the direction he was pointing.
Anderton pointed at the sun in the sky. The other CEOs also looked at the blazing sun hanging high in the sky.
"What did you see?"
Except for Tim, who said the word "sun", the other CEOs who didn't know much about AR and virtual technology didn't say anything.
"We did see the sun."
Anderton put away his expression and explained seriously, "But we all know that this is a sun that doesn't exist. It needs to be matched with hardware and software algorithms, and finally presented through the display unit to be seen by our naked eyes. "
"We will divide this sun into three parts. The first is the electronic hardware, the second is the software algorithm, and the third is the display unit."
"If I turn my head, then in my world, this sun will disappear. Because this is a type of optimization algorithm, in order to save energy, the hardware will remove all the things that I can't see for the time being, leaving only the reflected reaction, such as the sunlight of the sun. "
"But you didn't turn your head, so the sun in your eyes still exists."
"The final result is that the virtual world we are in is actually divided into countless mirror worlds. We all have our own independent virtual world and a set of independent natural light control schemes."
Google's Vice President Anderton slowed down his tone so that they could have more time to understand what he wanted to say.
"I don't know if you understand, but just this sun alone represents the difficulty of the hardware, software, and display technology behind it. Even if you give us ten years, we still won't be able to solve it."
"We once studied a similar sunlight problem in the AR project."
"Let's not talk about the laughable inferior anime-like rendering effect. Just the environmental variables and the changes in light, dark, and shadow alone can't be solved by the simplest algorithm."
"Time and time again, we completely collapsed in front of the set of mapping equations in the algorithm. We lowered the image standards time and time again, trying to find the best solution to match software and hardware, but we still couldn't find a solution that worked smoothly."
"It's just a damn natural light change of the sun. If we don't pay attention, our equipment will crash."
"In the end, our technical staff could only give up and completely turn it into a background that won't produce natural light effects."
Even if the CEOs didn't understand the principles of the sun and sunlight in the virtual world, after listening to Google's Vice President Anderton, they could all understand the hardware and technical difficulties behind just one sun.
If the technology behind just one sun in the virtual world was so complicated …
Then what about the other aspects?
Tim, the head of Apple, looked at the flight jacket that he had spent more than a hundred virtual coins to buy.
Wearing this jacket, Tim could clearly feel the weight of the jacket, as well as the sense of friction. He could even clearly distinguish the different tactile sensations between the leather material and the metal zipper when he rubbed the jacket with his hands.
Of course, the top-notch primordial spirit suit played a role in the tactile conduction.
But what kind of technological level did this seemingly simple tactile conduction represent?
"Since Anderton has talked about the hardware and technical aspects, let me talk about the social aspect." After a moment of contemplation, the CEO of Facebook began to express the answer he had observed.
"The virtual world seems to have little overlap with social networking methods such as pictures and text, but after our team's observation, we believe that for every virtual world user that popularizes, our traditional social networking customers will always lack one customer."
"Why?"
"Because in the virtual world, its social attributes have risen from text and pictures to a spiritual level that we have never touched before."
"Everyone."
"What are the attributes of social networking on the Internet?"
The CEO of Facebook said solemnly, "We have been in the social networking field for many years. I can tell you clearly that interaction is only the surface of social networking on the Internet."
"Its core is to give users a platform where they can play their own multifaceted roles and have the opportunity to fully display their other personalities and uniqueness."
"We have calculated that among Facebook users, there are more than 100,000 'travel enthusiasts' from all over the world who like to share their travel experiences and photos. But after our data analysis, we have found that more than 90% of the users have the behavior of fabricating their travel experiences. "
"Among them, 50% of the users have only really visited half of the tourist attractions that they have shared."
"Why are they doing this?"
Others may not understand, but Tim, the CEO of Apple, instantly understood because he had just done the same thing.
He rode a World War II BMW motorcycle and cruised around the city in front of these world-class CEOs.
This kind of comfort and satisfaction that burst out from the depths of his soul was a happiness that Tim had never experienced before, and he was deeply fascinated by it.
A World War II Harley that could be bought for a few hundred virtual coins could bring about this kind of experience. Then, what about an electromagnetic supercar that no one had ever experienced before, or an anti-gravity engine aircraft?
The virtual world had everything that could be displayed in social networking, and it was richer and more diverse.
If the social networking attribute brought about a sense of satisfaction, it could show one's multifaceted and uniqueness. Then, Tim wanted to say that the virtual world was a hundred times more comfortable than traditional social networking on the Internet.
Since that was the case, how could users who had experienced the virtual world go back and experience traditional social networking on the Internet?
The CEO of Facebook's answer was not much different from the content of Tim's experience. The CEOs could also quickly understand the difference between the virtual world and traditional social networking on the Internet.
As for Apple, whose main business was mobile phone business and personal computer business, the crisis was even more intense.
Mobile phones were the most important carriers of the Internet and social networking in modern times. The virtual world directly replaced these two functions. How could it leave room for the Apple mobile phone, which was several generations behind?
