Chapter 790 MR. Game to test the waters
Not long after le Hui started working on Chen Mo's smart glasses, news of the 'micro-consciousness reading device' spread throughout the technology industry.
The technological advancement this time was also almost simultaneous in China and abroad. However, from various sources of information, it seemed that China was two or three days earlier than foreign countries.
Chen Mo wasn't sure if it was because of him, but in general, this news excited many Chinese people. After all, this was one of the few times that Chinese researchers were ahead of foreign researchers.
After the news broke out, the idea of the new equipment immediately spread throughout the entire technology circle. It wasn't just the hardware manufacturers that were urgently researching new equipment. Even many ordinary IT enthusiasts and players were discussing the infinite prospects of this new technology.
Portable VR equipment?
A phone controlled by consciousness?
Or was it a cooler wearable device?
There were different opinions. For a while, the new technology of the micro-consciousness reading device became the wind in the IT industry. Almost all the major hardware manufacturers were spreading the news that they were going to develop new devices based on the micro-consciousness reading device.
Chen Zhao was not surprised. He could predict that he would not be the only one developing the smart glasses. Many manufacturers would think of the idea of the MR smart glasses.
However, an idea was just an idea, and whether it could be done well was another matter.
Many products had similar ideas, but the differences in the details could lead to different fates of the two products. Some dominated the market, and some quietly left the stage.
Chen Zhao didn't have to worry too much about the equipment. The video game designers of Lehui were top tier in terms of technology, and they were very responsible. Le Hui was one of the few companies in the country that focused on technology. Chen Mo trusted Zhou Jiangping in terms of hardware.
The software wasn't Chen Mo's main concern. There were many applications on Lehui phones, including navigation, browsing, music, movies, and livestreaming. The first version of the smart glasses 'system and frame would definitely be based on the mobile system. By then, all these applications would only need to be modified slightly, and they should be able to be transplanted onto the smart glasses.
Chen Mo left the product to Zhou Jiangping. What he needed to think about now was how to better promote this pair of glasses and make it better than the other glasses.
Since Chen Mo was a videogame designer, he had to use a game to solve the problem.
Chen Mo's plan was to make a game for himself for the brand new MR smart glasses.
Chen Mo had designed the glasses himself, so he was basically Thunderbolt Entertainment's son, similar to switch. In order to seize the market share, of course, he had to treat his own son well.
This would be the only smart glasses on Thunderbolt gaming platform, and all the designers on Thunderbolt gaming platform would be creating a new game for it.
This was already a great boost for a smart device. After all, Thunderbolt gaming platform was the largest gaming platform in the country. This "exclusive" would, in a sense, directly determine the choice of players when they bought the smart glasses.
Moreover, Chen Mo was confident in his smart glasses. They were definitely one of the best in terms of hardware.
Chen Mo had already informed the independent video game designers on Thunderbolt gaming platform of this news, hoping that they would be able to enrich the game library for the new smart glasses.
He didn't even need to develop a new game. If there were suitable old games, it was completely okay to develop a MR version that was suitable for the smart glasses.
These video game designers were very passionate about it. After all, when Chen Mo was making the switch, many of the games that were imported to the switch were successful, giving the video game designers a taste of success. Developing a game on the smart glasses this time was a very crucial opportunity for video game designers.
If the glasses sold well like hotcakes, wouldn't the sales of the few games on it explode? This was definitely Bluesea.
Of course, many people were prepared to do it, but everyone had their own ideas on what game to make.
Chen Zhao had his own considerations.
MR games had a lot of good ideas, and Chen Mo decided to test the waters with the first version, making a series of relatively simple games to test the feedback from the players.
One could imagine that when the product was first launched, it would definitely be a niche product. Most people would wait and see before deciding whether to buy or not.
As such, the early game wouldn't have many players. Games that required a large number of players or a long time to be popular weren't within Chen Mo's consideration.
Of course, if the game could mix with players from other platforms ... That could be considered.
It was just like the WeChat games in Chen Mo's previous life. The first game that became popular was battle of planes, followed by jump. These games were very simple. It wasn't that he couldn't make complicated games, but this kind of game was just to test the waters.
Chen Mo's test works followed the same line of thought, which was to make it as simple as possible. More complicated games would be left for later.
In the end, Chen Mo decided on two designs.
The first was chess cards, and the second was jump.
As for tabletop, Chen Mo already had Thunderbolt tabletop, so all he had to do was transplant it onto the smart glasses.
Of course, it had to be changed to the MR version.
The difference between the smart glasses 'card game and traditional card games was that the players could play virtual cards on an empty table face to face. All the information would be directly presented on their smart glasses, and it would fit the scene in reality.
In other words, the players would see playing cards neatly arranged on the table, and the effect was enough to pass off as real.
Of course, everyone had to have the smart glasses to play this game. Players without the smart glasses would see a confusing scene: A few people were surrounding an empty table and were foolishly playing cards in the air ...
Moreover, players could play with PC and mobile players on Thunderbolt gaming platform, which guaranteed more players.
Apart from that, Chen Mo was also considering adding a board game that suited the taste of Chinese players, making it exclusive to the smart glasses.
As for jumping ... This was the MR. Version of jumping.
When the players played, they needed to find a relatively empty table. The blocks and figurines on the jumping board would be automatically projected on the table. This gave people the feeling that they were controlling the real objects on the table in front of them to jump.
"Jump" was a very simple game, but it was a weapon to kill time. This game was also exclusive to the smart glasses, and it was used to show the unique charm of MR games.
……
The key reason why players bought smart glasses was that they could bring great convenience to their lives. But which type of smart glasses should he choose? The games and entertainment on it would become an important factor for players to consider.
With the Thunderbolt gaming platform as his new equipment, Chen Mo was confident.
