Digital Kingdom

"Of course AR also has big flaws"

Huang Xiaobo changed his tone and saw the boss drinking tea. He felt a little embarrassed. When he became excited, he even forgot to pour the tea.

"The fun of modern games lies in the participation of multiple people. Since AR is based on realistic coordinates, it is inherently very limited. Geographical restrictions have greatly reduced the multiplayer experience. Although the individual’s sense of reality has increased, The number of participation in a region has decreased"

"Ok"

Zhao Ziming knows that no matter how sophisticated the game content is designed, no matter how reasonable the rules are, and no matter how beautiful the screen is, if no other players participate, the social attributes will be minimized, which will greatly affect the experience of the game. Don’t forget, it’s impossible to play on a standalone player lasting.

"One more thing, the virtual sense is weakened, the real sense is enhanced, and the pressure of the game will greatly increase."

Huang Xiaobo continued,

"Playing a game on a computer, the screen will constantly hint to you, this is a game, this is a game, when the player walks away from the computer screen and enters the game world, all experiences are different, ar itself has its own flow attribute , Will make games based on it more attractive and easier to indulge in"

"Of course these are solvable, and some game rules can be designed to cross this threshold, but these are just a leap in game design, not a leap in technology. For us, it is expected to be achieved."

Huang Xiaobo firmly believes in his own judgment,

"The reason why I say AR is a good development direction is because its biggest advantage is based on existing technology and does not rely on technological breakthroughs. As long as the current technology is refined to a certain level, the presentation effect of AR will be achieved. An acceptable state"

"Another advantage of AR is that terminal equipment has long been popularized, that is, mobile phones. Any smart phone actually has AR functions. It has a camera and just installs AR software.

On the basis of the image taken by the camera, combined with the virtual image for display and interaction, combining the real scene and the virtual scene, I can walk to you with my mobile phone at any time, open the AR world, and have a wonderful game interaction with you"

"The essence of augmented reality is to allow you and other nearby people to have the same visual experience. In the augmented reality world, what you see is the same. The core of the interaction between people is Symmetrical information.

If you see an object and I see a person, there will be a cognitive bias. In the AR world, everyone sees the same thing, and your interaction with a virtual thing will be presented to others simultaneously people.

At the same time, the AR interaction between people is based on the actual distance. People nearby will have a stronger sense of substitution in this interaction. Compared with the interaction in the VR world, at this stage, it is more lifelike."

"In other words, in essence, it is to build a virtual world, but AR uses computer technology to apply virtual information to the real world. The real environment and virtual objects are superimposed on the same screen or In space, exist at the same time.

VR uses computer simulation to generate a virtual world in a three-dimensional space, providing players with simulations of the senses of sight, hearing, touch, etc., so that players can move in the three-dimensional space in time and without restrictions. ."

Zhao Ziming took a sip of tea and slowly sorted out his thoughts.

Huang Xiaobo was greatly admired. He had a long-term understanding of leadership, but he did not expect to react so quickly.

"This AR technology should be a good development direction, but it is still quite difficult to combine with our "Jianghu" game."

Zhao Ziming continued,

Huang Xiaobo glanced at the leader. What he said is naturally the development trend of future games. In his eyes, "Jianghu" is good for five years, and AR technology will take almost five years to brew. , Just in time.

Although Zhao Ziming said many times that he wanted to make "Jianghu" an epoch-making product, Huang Xiaobo never cared about it. It was not that he did not approve the quality of "Jianghu". On the contrary, in his mind, there is no more perfect work than "Jianghu".

However, starting from reality, no game can last forever. Players love the new and hate the old. No matter how well made, there will always be times when they are tired. Zhao's expectation can only be used as a dream to inspire people to move forward.

In fact, Huang Xiaobo has already started the planning of a new game, but the plan is very immature and has not yet been discussed. No matter how good "Jianghu" is, it will eventually go away and people have to keep moving forward.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, at present, AR technology is more suitable for experiential apps" Huang Xiaobo nodded in agreement.

Zhao Ziming did not speak. One of the distinctive features of AR is face-to-face communication, which is fundamentally different from virtual communication in online games.

However, this kind of face-to-face communication and interaction based on geographic location may produce new ways of playing.

The gang members in "Jiang Hu" are all randomly combined. If AR is used, it may unite a group of nearby people. The cohesion of this group may be stronger. After all, it is an alliance based on reality.

"The development trend of AR will not be limited to this" Zhao Ziming shook his head, disagreeing with Huang Xiaobo's point of view.

"Oh?"

Huang Xiaobo looked at the boss a little surprised, hoping to get a hint of inspiration.

"AR adds a geographic location. This increase in information dimensions may increase the fun of the game. Players’ various creativity in the game world will appear more individualized and easier for players because of the combination with reality. To create game highlights, remember that you said before that the key to a game’s success lies in how many things the players create in it that belong to them, that sense of belonging and ownership."

What Zhao Ziming said was a bit awkward, but Huang Xiaobo understood it all at once.

"Is there any possibility of combining AR and VR?" Zhao Ziming continued.

“I guess like this, augmented reality and augmented virtuality will produce a new visual environment. In the new environment, physical and digital objects coexist, interact in real time, and run in real time.”

"Oh" Huang Xiaobo was a little curious,

Sometimes the scientific imagination of laymen is not all nonsense, and some of them are more enlightening.

"That means..." Zhao Ziming was about to elaborate.

"Kaka", a knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Come in", Zhao Ziming is a little puzzled, who will have trouble at this time,

"Mr. Zhao, Manager Huang"

Bai Yuhong, the manager of the customer service department, appeared in front of the two with a solemn expression, holding the computer in his right hand, and said,

"A major online public opinion about our "Jianghu" game appeared"

The storm is coming.
