An Expert Is actually By My Side - Chapter 439
There was a traffic jam on the road for an hour. Before the rush hour, Hao Yun finally arrived at the Brain-Computer Interface Research Institute in Chengnan High-tech Park.
To be honest, he really didn’t want to understand the connection between augmented reality and brain-computer interface technology.
No matter how you think about it, the former should belong to the category of display technology, while the latter obviously has nothing to do with display technology.
And speaking of augmented reality technology…
It doesn’t seem to be a particularly novel thing.
At least not in this world.
According to what Hao Yun learned, this technology has been used in the military field as early as fifty years ago, and related applications in the civilian field have also been rapidly developed after the first year of the New Era.
Hao Yun didn’t know what the breakthrough Wu Fan was talking about was.
In any case, listening to his tone didn’t seem to be joking with himself.
With this idea, Hao Yun followed Wu Fan’s footsteps to a laboratory deep in the research institute.
The interior layout of the laboratory is very simple, with a half-person-height screen in the center of the spacious room, and two glasses shaped like sunglasses are placed on the table in front of the screen.
“…Strictly speaking, what we have completed is not augmented reality technology, but made certain improvements on the basis of augmented reality technology.”
“Improve?”
“Yes.”
Walking to the screen, Wu Fan picked up two glasses from the table and handed one of them to Hao Yun.
“Remember what I told you before? In the research on brain-computer interfaces, the main problem we face is how to accurately recognize brain wave signals and translate them into computer language that machines can understand.”
Hao Yun nodded, glanced at the glasses in his hand with a weird expression and said.
“It seems to have said…but what does this have to do with AR technology?”
“This is to say that we have recently made breakthrough progress!” Wu Fan showed a smile on his face and continued in an excited tone. “After a year of hard work, brainwave signal acquisition and modulation and demodulation technology has been Our researcher has done it!”
Before Hao Yun asked what it was, Wu Fan took the initiative to introduce it to him.
The so-called brainwave signal acquisition and modulation and demodulation is to collect the signals emitted by the human brain, and modulate and demodulate them into computer language after processing.
As for why this technology is applied to AR devices, we have to start with Yunmeng Technology’s technical route selection when researching brain-computer interface technology.
For commercialization and security considerations, Yunmeng Technology Research Institute mainly focuses on the research of “non-intrusive” brain-computer interfaces.
The simple point is that the brain patch, not the brain intubation.
The advantages of this technical route are mainly user experience and security, but the problems are also obvious.
The first one is signal acquisition.
Compared with collecting signals directly from the cerebral cortex, observing brain activity indirectly through changes in brain waves, whether in terms of signal strength or accuracy, it is obviously inferior to the invasive brain interface. less.
Therefore, for the Institute of Brain-Computer Interface, how to accurately identify and process brain wave signals has become a key problem.
But now, this technical problem has been solved.
The Brain-Computer Interface Research Institute has not only successfully solved the collection and modulation and demodulation of brain waves, but also beautifully applied it to AR technology, realizing the operation of “AR” equipment through ideas.
Compared with the original AR devices that require gestures and body movements to complete human-computer interaction, this advanced operation method not only looks less stupid, but is also much safer and more convenient.
Under the guidance of Wu Fan, Hao Yun wearing AR glasses quickly mastered the essentials of using this device. Through the scene switching function, the laboratory in front of him instantly became a castle, and then the castle became A golden rice field.
Most of these materials came from the “Warcraft” crew next door, but it was precisely because of this that the shock and joy in Hao Yun’s heart became more intense.
If you use this device to play games, isn’t it much better than computers and mobile phones?
Especially now that you don’t need to use gestures to operate the device, things like hitting a wall because you’re too involved, or being looked at by others with weird eyes are also a thing of the past.
Looking at the happy expression on Hao Yun’s face, Wu Fan, who didn’t know what the boss was thinking, continued with a smile on his face.
“The focus of our next research is to find a way to interfere with brain activities through electrical signals! Now we can only collect a single signal, and we still need to use the display and speakers to feed back the picture to the user. In the next stage, we will Try to completely abandon these two devices and directly transmit the image and sound to the user’s mind!”
“At present, our thinking is to use deep sleep to achieve virtual reality-like effects in the form of dreams. Although some progress has been made in animals, this involves another problem, that is, we cannot ensure that users can Go to sleep immediately after booting up.”
“Imagine that if you need to fall asleep every time you connect to a virtual reality device, I am afraid that we will have to toss for more than ten minutes or even more than half an hour to turn on the machine.”
“What’s more, falling asleep with a burden is not an easy task.”
Standing on the side, Wu Fan became more excited as he spoke, his hands kept gesturing, but Hao Yun’s attention was not at all on the content he said, but was completely attracted by the pictures seen in his pupils.
This thing is like a bunker, okay!
Whether it is used for playing games or for daily use, I believe that as long as the price is right, most consumers will not refuse such an electronic product that can be easily controlled by mind.
Hao Yun said immediately after interrupting Wu Fan’s endless talk.
“How much does it cost to produce a piece of this stuff? Is it expensive?”
Faced with this sudden question, Wu Fan was stunned, and after thinking about it, he said embarrassedly.
“Uh, I haven’t understood this.”
“But boss, if you want to put this thing on the shelf, I still have to remind you that our patent reserve in AR technology is close to zero… including the glasses in your hand, which are actually made of rice. Improved version of AR glasses. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”
“Moreover, because processing brainwave signals requires a lot of computing power, we have to equip the glasses with a Bluetooth-connected host. Just like the glasses in your hand, although it seems to be very convenient to use, you can get out of this room. The house will no longer be used.”
Taking off the AR eyes and holding it in his hand, Hao Yun frowned and said.
“Leave aside the patent matter, as long as there is a market, this should be solved… As for the glasses you said need to be equipped with a host is indeed a problem, but can’t it be solved by cloud technology?”
Wu Fan scratched the back of his head and said.
“Are you planning to provide users with cloud computing services? In theory, it is possible, but… the cost is probably not small.”
“As long as it is technically achievable, I think it has the value of a try.” He returned the glasses to Wu Fan. Hao Yun smiled at him and continued, “I will worry about this. Yes, I will consult professionals, you just need to optimize this device as I said!”
