Once Ding Yue had donned the virtual gaming helmet device, he began his official experience.
Just like the virtual gaming pod, in front of Ding Yue was a screen through which he could immerse himself into the virtual space.
"Activate!"
Following Xu Bin's instruction.
The screen before Ding Yue gradually brightened, and under the radiant glow, he once again found himself in the same virtual space as before, inside the virtual gaming pod.
Towering peaks, stretches of spruce, distant snowy ranges, and verdant grasslands instantly made one feel refreshed and relaxed.
But soon enough.
Ding Yue recalled the big black bear that had attacked him just moments ago, and instantly his mood soured.
"Where's that big black bear?"
Upon landing, Ding Yue quickly scanned the surroundings, looking to see if the big black bear was nearby.
Fortunately, Ding Yue's luck seemed decent; he entered the virtual space not in the previous location, suggesting he was positioned far away, so he didn't encounter the big black bear from earlier.
Recalling being devoured by that big black bear earlier made Ding Yue shudder, wishing he had a Gatling gun to take down the bear.
However, this thought was fleeting, and Ding Yue quickly began to enjoy the scenery.
When Ding Yue played games before, besides the core gameplay, he was also a scenery enthusiast. A game with great visuals had a strong appeal to him.
"Yue, the place you just landed isn't the same spot as before."
A hint from Xu Bin came through his earpiece.
"Mm, I know."
Ding Yue nodded, then strolled around in the virtual space. From the visual interaction to the feedback throughout the virtual space, it was essentially no different from the virtual gaming pod.
However.
This was merely a relatively affordable virtual gaming helmet, and it had its shortcomings compared to a virtual gaming pod.
The virtual gaming pod allowed you to lie down comfortably, while with the virtual gaming helmet, you could only stand, and the physical interaction experience was somewhat inferior.
"This time, I better not provoke any beasts."
Thinking thus, Ding Yue arrived by a river.
Seeing the river, Ding Yue wanted to test the gaming system in the virtual space, to see if it felt the same as in reality.
The moment Ding Yue touched the water, a cool sensation swept over him.
This feeling was incredibly lifelike.
Subsequently, Ding Yue leaped into the river. Knowing he was proficient in swimming, he flipped and tumbled in the water, the buoyancy and pressure sensations were also quite realistic.
"Whoa, this physics engine is impressive."
Ding Yue couldn't help but marvel at how this virtual space's sensation of jumping into water was strikingly similar to real life.
Initially.
Ding Yue thought that the interaction experience in the virtual space was limited to force feedback and some bodily sensations, and he hadn't expected the interaction experiences with natural elements like water and wind to be so remarkable.
After experiencing the virtual space of the virtual gaming helmet, Ding Yue concluded his session.
He then reflected.
The virtual gaming helmet was indeed "cheaper", yet only in comparison to the virtual gaming pod. After all, this virtual gaming helmet alone was quite a revolutionary tech product.
This virtual gaming helmet could already achieve effects similar to those in the movie "Ready Player One."
To have such a tech product in the real world, and for it to be developed this year, didn't it showcase the prowess of Mist City Arts and Science University in this field?
"Principal Ding, do you have any suggestions or thoughts after the experience?"
After Ding Yue experienced both the virtual gaming pod and helmet products, Tong Yihang approached him to inquire.
"The experience is great, and these two products have clear positions. The virtual gaming pod is for the wealthy to buy and use, while the virtual gaming helmet is for the general public to purchase. Can we ensure that the selling price of the virtual gaming helmet is acceptable for the average person when we manufacture them?"
After sharing his thoughts, Ding Yue also inquired about the pricing of the virtual gaming helmet with Tong Yihang and his team.
There's no need to say much about the virtual gaming pod.
This thing already looks expensive.
Naturally, only the wealthy can afford this equipment, and its price might indeed be higher than a regular car because this is a groundbreaking tech product, not a regular computer.
A top-tier computer setup already costs tens of thousands, let alone a set of virtual gaming pod equipment.
The virtual gaming helmet, however, leans more towards affordability, enabling most people to purchase it and experience the "virtual world" crafted by Feiyue Technology, along with the "Metaverse" created by Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group.
"The cost and pricing will be determined by professionals from the company. However, I think the price of a virtual gaming helmet should not exceed a hundred thousand yuan."
Tong Yihang, who was not very familiar with commercial aspects like costs and pricing, still estimated a price based on his knowledge.
The price was not to exceed a hundred thousand yuan.
That's right, not exceeding a hundred thousand yuan was the approximate price of the virtual gaming helmet.
Hearing this, Ding Yue nodded slightly and said, "If it doesn't exceed a hundred thousand yuan, that would naturally be great."
Ding Yue thought.
If a virtual gaming helmet were priced in the tens of thousands, it might open up a vast market.
For the average person, tens of thousands could represent a significant amount. But with diligent work over one or two years, it's generally affordable.
And by spending tens of thousands, purchasing a virtual gaming helmet, a cutting-edge tech product, and also experiencing a virtual world of boundless possibilities. In this virtual world, the things you can do far exceed those in reality, and you could potentially earn money here that you can't in the real world.
"Principal Ding, our chip testing completed successfully. The 3-nanometer chip has been seamlessly integrated with our virtual gaming pod and helmet equipment."
Liu Tiefei walked over to report today's test results to Principal Ding.
Today, Ding Yue focused on experiencing the virtual gaming pod and helmet, and the virtual space, while Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei tested the equipment, chip, and other complex technologies.
So far, all the test data has been very successful, whether it's from Ding Yue or from Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei.
"When can mass production begin?"
Ding Yue looked at Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei to ask.
"That will depend on the company's efforts in manufacturing virtual gaming pods, chips, and training technical staff." Yihang replied.
Hearing this, Ding Yue realized.
Indeed.
Such matters shouldn't be directed at Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei.
The two of them have no issues technically, but when it comes to production, manufacturing, establishing supply chains, and operations, they certainly aren't as proficient.
This matter should be addressed to An Yujia from Feiyue Group.
However, An Yujia wasn't present today.
"I'll immediately discuss with Miss An. Rest assured, the company will fully support the funding requirements."
After speaking with Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei, Ding Yue turned to Wen Ruohan, his secretary, and said, "Xiao Wen, please inform Miss An that I have important matters to discuss with her later."
"Okay, Principal Ding."
Wen Ruohan nodded, then contacted An Yujia.
