Scholar’s Advanced Technological System - Chapter 1171

Chapter 1171 – Virtual Reality Technology Conference

The following month.

At the Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center.

Big companies from all over the world gathered here.

Additionally, consumers from all over the country, and even from other countries, stood in a long line outside the exhibition center.

Wang Zhengfei looked at the crowd and the security guards outside the exhibition center. He had a huge smile on his face.

The world?s first virtual reality neural interface equipment!

The Huawei VR1!

Fortunately, they were able to surpass Xiaomi and bring a Star Sky Technology approved product to the untouched market.

Standing next to him was Shao Yi, the Chief Product Officer of Huawei.

It was at this same exhibition center, where he announced on behalf of Huawei that the electronics industry was entering a carbon era.

Soon, he would stand in front of the same podium, announcing to the world on behalf of Huawei. From this day onward, the Internet would officially move from a 2D world to a 3D world.

?Are you ready??

Shao Yi spoke in a serious tone.

?I?m ready.?

?Not enough confidence.? Wang Zhengfei looked at this young CPO and smiled. He said, ?This technology is going to change the world, so you have to look more confident.?

Shao Yi stood up straight and raised his spirits.

?I?m ready, boss!!!?

?Not bad, that?s what a Huawei executive should sound like.? CEO Wang patted this kid on the shoulder and said, ?Break a leg.?

Shao Yi spoke energetically.

?Yes, CEO Wang!?

…

Wang Lihui?s job was a film director.

On the other hand, he was also an electronics enthusiast. He was a die-hard fan of Huawei and Star Sky Technology.

Even though this sounded a little weird, after all, Star Sky Technology had never sold any consumer products, but ever since he bought a Huawei phone with a lithium-sulfur battery, his love for Huawei had transferred onto Star Sky Technology as well.

In his opinion, Star Sky was the real high-tech company.

Google who? Facebook who?

They were considered high-tech companies?

All they did was mine consumer data, what kind of tech company was that?

Ever since the antitrust investigations, he had lost all his interest in Tesla and ExxonMobil, and he began worshiping Star Sky Technology to an even higher level.

He had been following the news regarding VR ever since its first announcement.

According to Huawei?s press release, they were going to launch the latest Star Sky Technology neural interface virtual reality headset at this conference!

These were two of his favorite manufacturers, and now that they were working together, his excitement and happiness had doubled.

He spent a ton of effort getting tickets for the live conference. After getting out of his Mercedes, he ignored the jealous looks from the pedestrians, walked past the huge line, and went through a VIP channel.

Even though he wasn?t qualified to sit in the first three rows of the conference, he was able to grab a seat somewhere in the middle.

Shortly after taking his seat, the stage lights lit up.

A young man in a suit walked on stage and smiled at the audience.

?Hello, everyone, I am Shao Yi, the CPO for Huawei.

?I?m sure you all have been looking forward to the virtual reality network for a long time. What we?re going to present today is a product that connects all of us to a virtual reality world…?

A large Huawei logo was projected on the screen behind him. There was a futuristic helmet on the screen under the logo.

?This is the Huawei VR1, or HV-1 for short,? Shao Yi said as he looked at the helmet on the screen behind him. He smiled and said, ?This is a fully-immersive virtual reality helmet! With it, the world will be at your fingertips!?

The second he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd.

Even though half a year ago Star Sky Technology had already revealed a lot of information for the closed-beta testing, reading the information online was a different kind of feeling.

Now that they saw the image of the actual product, people were so excited they almost wanted to take out their wallets, buy the helmet, and immediately begin experiencing the virtual reality world.

Shao Yi had a sincere smile on his face.

He gestured for everyone to quiet down and continued to speak, ?First of all, on behalf of Huawei, I would like to thank the science community and Professor Lu. His neural demodulator and neural interface equipment are like wings, making our imagination fly wherever it pleases. We are truly more connected than ever before!

?From today onward, even in a ten square meter apartment, we?ll be able to chat face to face with our loved ones from thousands of kilometers away. Whether it?s a business meeting or chatting with friends, we?ll be able to communicate with them at the comfort of our own home. Moreover, if someone is physically impaired, this technology will give them a chance to experience life to the fullest!

?In this new world, we will have all of our senses, and you will be able to experience anything you want. As the virtual reality network continues to grow, we will continue to update the software and hardware, making the experience feel more realistic.?

Shao Yi paused for a second and took a deep breath. He was almost as excited as the audience.

?Friends, let?s celebrate us entering a brand new world!

?Our brains will be completely free, and our imagination will directly connect to the online world. With this technology, we?ll be able to think in dreams, work in dreams, and even accomplish challenges that were never possible before.

?This device is only available in the China market for the time being. As Star Sky Technology?s cloud computing service continues to grow and develop, we?ll be able to expand to the overseas market.

?The helmet will be on sale at 12 o?clock. 100,000 units will be sold at the exhibition center, while the remaining 900,000 units will be sold on our official website.?

Shao Yi sympathized with the anxious businessmen and consumers. He smiled and said, ?Don?t worry, everyone.

?As a gift from us, everyone will be able to experience and test the HV-1!

?Also, you will all be able to buy one for 12,000 yuan!?

Enthusiastic cheers and whistles were heard from the audience. Some people couldn?t contain their excitement, and they stood up and began clapping.

Wang Lihui, on the other hand, excitedly clenched his fists.

Thank god he had a ticket for the conference; otherwise, he would have to wait in front of his computer or stand in line outside the exhibition center and hope that he could get lucky enough to buy a helmet.

The 12,000 yuan was nothing; in fact, it was too cheap.

This money was a chump change for him.

The only thing he wanted to do was to get his hands on the helmet and post it on his Weibo. He wanted to share the joy with his millions of fans…

He also wanted to brag about the feeling of living in another world…
