Remember [Love♂尚★小△说§网] in one second, read wonderful novels for free without pop-ups!

In fact, as early as the 90s, the theory of virtual technology has been very mature, but the corresponding VR helmet is still a conceptual product.

A VR helmet named "Virtuality-1000CS" appeared in 1991, which fully demonstrated the embarrassment of VR products: bulky appearance, single function, and expensive.

Despite this, the flames of VR games were also planted during this period. It’s just that the steps are too big and it’s easy to pull the eggs, and sometimes too advanced thinking can hardly support the cruel reality. The Virtual-Boy console launched by Nintendo in 1995 was rated as one of the "50 Worst Inventions in History" by Time Magazine. The hastily market launch made the hardware change from a headset to a tripod support, plus the single red display on the screen. Colors and game works have bounced. "Virtual-Boy" only survived in the market for six months before disappearing, and the first attempt at VR games disappeared.

After that, VR seemed to have been poured with cold water, and the research craze stagnated for an instant!

Just imagine, even the gaming giant Nintendo has fallen into the sand on this, who would dare to try it easily? !

Others did not dare, but Henry did!

As a rebirth person, he knew that VR is the future development trend, so he has no hesitation in digging out the leader of Nintendo's hardware department Yokoi Junpei to join Atari, mainly engaged in VR research. After 12 years, the development of VR virtual reality technology has been very slow in the outside world, but within Atari, the technology has developed rapidly and is now quite mature!

In the previous life, the reason why VR became popular again was that in 2012, a newly established company named Oculus launched a crowdfunding plan for VR devices on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter, and was subsequently acquired by Facebook for US$2 billion! As one of the high-tech giants, Facebook's every move has attracted the attention of many media and companies! Others saw that Facebook has entered the VR market, indicating that this market has huge potential, so it hurriedly followed suit. For a time, VR is hot! The world's major high-tech giants, Google, Microsoft and other companies are unwilling to lag behind and have entered the VR market one after another! ! !

As soon as Henry's voice fell, the audience was in an uproar.

Not to mention how mature VR technology has been, just using brain waves to control game characters is already shocking!

In fact, many reporters are very skeptical of what Henry said.

In their extremely limited knowledge, VR technology is still immature, bulky, expensive, and the level of virtual reality is at best unsatisfactory, far from being immersive! Not to mention the use of brain waves to control game characters, this kind of black-technological technology.

It's just that Henry opened his mouth and never said anything, so it is difficult for people to question his words, and his heart is quite contradictory.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing!

Henry naturally understood this truth, and he immediately let people "put on the props" and took out the VR helmet and brainwave helmet respectively.

The VR helmet bid farewell to the old crude benzene, the design is simple, white, and light, which looks like a pair of glasses, while the brainwave helmet is like a metal female bell-shaped hat popular in the United States from the 1920s to 1933, with a large number of built-in The sensor can accurately collect the brain waves of the human brain. Henry pointed to these two things and introduced: "The one on the left is the VR helmet, and the one on the right is the brainwave helmet! As you can see, the two functions of VR and brainwave are not combined. But we are confident that this is not too big. The question. Now, let me first show everyone the function of the brainwave helmet!” After a pause, Henry said, “Gene Umbrella, Atari, and Firefly Games have jointly developed a game called "UFO War"! This game is a 3D space warfare competitive game. Players can choose the lineup through the Internet. One lineup is the Earth Alliance and the other lineup is the Mars Alliance. Destroying the other planet can be judged as the final victory! The game can hold up to 100 Players competed at the same time, and the lineups of both sides were 50 people. Now, the 10 staff around me have already put on brainwave helmets at the moment, and the other 90 people, I would like to invite the guests on the scene to experience it! Because the number of people on the scene is too large There are many, I won’t choose them one by one. When the light strikes on you, it means that you are the lucky one tonight. Please come to the stage and sit on the seat we have designated. We will send out a brainwave for each of you. helmet!"

As soon as Henry finished speaking, the audience was inexplicably excited. At this time, 90 beams of light flashed around until Henry shouted "stop".

"Hahaha, I was selected!"

"I was selected too!"

"..."

Many people at the scene couldn't help but cheer.

Henry smiled and said, "Lucky guys tonight, please come on stage!"

After a while, these people all rushed to the stage. A brainwave helmet was placed on each of them, and the staff began to instruct them how to use it. After three minutes, everyone put on their brainwave helmets.

Upon seeing this, Henry gave the order and started the game!

"Everyone, please look at the large LCD screen now, and the game will start soon!"

As soon as the voice fell, the game "UFO Wars" began. "Flying Saucer" is a highly simulated game. The background of the game is in the solar system~www.readwn.com~. The graphics are lifelike and beautiful, as if you are really in space. In fact, the pilots of the Williams Empire often use this game in their training. In the screen, the prototype of the flying saucer that each player is driving is the flying saucer secretly developed by the Williams Empire at this moment. The flying saucer project started in 2004. After three years, its prototype has been successfully developed. ! Henry thought about it. On April 20th next year, there will be a military parade on the National Day of the Williams Empire. Then, the flying saucer suddenly descended from the sky, scaring everyone to death! Ha ha……

Of course, if nothing else, the flying saucer of the Williams Empire will definitely attract everyone's attention! By then, the game "UFO Wars" will surely take the world by storm!

At this moment, the audience laughed. Those players who play this game for the first time are not used to using brainwave helmets for the game. Oolong incidents such as crashing a plane or shooting a cannon to kill teammates happen frequently. However, after a few games, everyone quickly became familiar with it. Wherever you want a flying saucer to fly, it can fly wherever you want it to fly, or even hit it wherever it is pointed. If you attack it, you must make a prediction, determine its flight position, and then launch an attack!

Shoo! ! !

Boom boom boom! ! !

Countless lasers and artillery fires come and go in space, so exciting!

"Hehe, see where you go, launch a laser cannon attack!"

"I'm flashing!"

"Fuck, I was hit again!"

Many players yelled while playing, how can a "Hi" word be so good? It really makes other viewers greedy.

"Fuck, watching them play, my hands are itchy. Why are you so lucky? Why didn't you choose me?!!! Hey..."
