.
The initial design purpose of the LIP Lens Information Processor was to facilitate the exchange of information between Shi Lei and Izur. It was also convenient for Izur to provide Shi Lei with more information and image guidance.
As the research and development of the LIP Lens Information Processor progressed, its commercial value became clearer. It could be developed as a smartphone.
Even in the future, there were only a handful of phones with a lens.
In addition, it had a precise voice recognition system, an excellent human-computer interaction system, and a powerful auxiliary system. How could such a smartphone not be popular?
When Apple launched the iPhone 4, the price of the 16GB unlocked version was as high as 500 USD. It was not a cheap price!
Comparing the iPhone 4 with the LIP Lens Information Processor, the two were not at the same level. The LIP Lens Information Processor had more advantages. It could totally beat Apple's product.
"Old Dong, how much is the cost of the LIP Lens Information Processor?" Shi Lei asked a key question.
Dong Guoguo immediately reported, "Boss, if we don't add the graphene battery, the cost of the raw materials is about 2,800 RMB. Including the assembly cost, packaging cost, transportation cost, storage cost, and so on, in addition to the research and development cost, we need to add another 200 RMB."
In other words, not counting the cost of the software and the research and development cost, just the raw materials and manufacturing cost alone, the cost of each LIP Lens Information Processor was as high as 3,000 RMB.
The pressure on the cost of this was greater!
"What if we use the graphene battery?"
Shi Lei was prepared. The cost of the new battery technology would not be cheap.
"The material cost will increase by about 1,400 RMB, mainly the graphene battery and the related charging components.
In addition, due to the change in the battery, the related manufacturing process and assembly technology will need to be changed accordingly. The other costs will increase by another 100 RMB. The total cost is equivalent to an increase of 1,500 RMB. The cost of manufacturing a LIP Lens Information Processor is as high as 4,500 RMB! "Dong Guoguo's tone was serious.
Obviously, Dong Guoguo also knew that the cost of 4,500 RMB was not an easy price to accept.
Whether a commercial product could be recognized by the outside world was not only limited by the quality of the product, but also the cost of the product and the sales price.
The LIP lens-type information processor was excellent in terms of both its appearance and its practicality. However, the price would be its concern.
Just like Google Glass in the future, no one could say that this product was not excellent. It was an epoch-making creative product.
However, the price was as high as 14,000 yuan, which made it not very approachable.
The LIP Lens Information Processor was even better than Google Glass. However, how much would it be sold at?
The cost of 4,500 RMB, was it sold at 6,000 RMB?
Don't think that a profit of 1,500 yuan per unit is a lot. In fact, the profit of 1,500 yuan is very small.
At least, Shi was not willing to sell the LIP Lens Information Processor at such a low price.
That's right, 6,000 RMB was cheap!
The cost of the LIP lens information processor did not consider the cost of the software.
Although the software, the cost of the software, the software system, the software System, the software System, and the cost of the System.
According to the normal calculation, the cost of the software control system of the LIP Lens Information Processor was the biggest cost.
However, Shi Lei had the advanced pseudo-artificial intelligence system, Izur. He had a huge advantage. A lot of things could be handed over to Izur to ignore the cost of the software development.
Then there was the research and development cost. Dong Guoguo developed the LIP Lens Information Processor. Although the cost was not high, it did not mean that the LIP Lens Information Processor was free.
According to the normal business rules, the price of the LIP Lens Information Processor would need to be at least 15,000 RMB to realize the so-called huge profit.
A LIP Lens Information Processor could earn 10500 RMB. After taking out 500 RMB for various advertising and public relations, there was still 10,000 RMB left.
If one million units could be sold, the profit would be 10 billion.
That was the real huge profit!
If the profit was only 1,500 RMB per unit, the profit of one million units sold would only be 1.5 billion RMB. Although it was a big profit, it was nothing compared to 10 billion RMB.
Shi Lei was poor!
Mirui Technology Group was poor!
Dream Entertainment still owed the Rongcheng City Government three billion USD. If converted to Xia Xia Yuan, that was a total of 24 billion USD!
Shi Lei thought about it for a while and decided to develop the LIP Lens Information Processor.
However, in order to maximize the profits, Shi Lei did not only plan to develop the LIP Lens Information Processor. He also planned to use this technology to develop products related to the Hero's World.
Shi Lei planned to use the LIP Lens Information Processor technology to develop a VR gaming helmet!
The VR technology was Virtual Reality technology, which was also virtual reality technology.
Although the Hero's World's Somatosensory Control Platform used four refracting projectors and seamless display technology to simulate an environment that the players were satisfied with, it was still not satisfactory.
Especially when looking up at the sky, the projector technology could not synchronize the display. It was easy to fall from the game environment to the real world.
In order to create a better gaming environment, Shi Lei planned to develop professional gaming equipment from the beginning to allow players to have a complete gaming environment and experience a more realistic gaming world.
Among them, the VR gaming helmet was the best choice!
The VR gaming helmet was, in fact, also a LIP Lens Information Processor.
However, the VR gaming helmet was a branch of the LIP Lens Information Processor. It changed the appearance of the lens into a helmet-like appearance.
This change was actually very easy!
The difficulty of the LIP Lens Information Processor was that the lens' appearance was fixed. The lens' structure was too small and could not accommodate too many electronic devices.
The VR gaming helmet was different. The various technical difficulties were quickly reduced. Even if Shi Lei was not familiar with the technology, he could tell that the Lin 'an underground base could easily create the VR gaming helmet.
Why did he say that?
Because the Lin 'an underground base had created the LIP Lens Information Processor!
Compared to the LIP Lens Information Processor, the VR gaming helmet did not need a transparent display.
That was because the LIP Lens Information Processor was a product used in daily life. When wearing the LIP Lens Information Processor, not only did it require a display screen, but it also required normal vision.
The display panel of the VR gaming helmet could completely use an LCD display panel. After all, after wearing the VR gaming helmet, one did not need to go out. Instead, one needed to enter the game world and display the game world's image exquisitely.
The power supply module problem was that the VR gaming helmet had enough space. There was no need to use the new graphene battery technology at all. It only needed high-efficiency lithium battery technology to meet the requirements.
This way, the battery cost pressure would be greatly reduced. The overall manufacturing cost would be reduced by a lot.
Also, because of the increase in space, the VR gaming helmet could install microchips with more powerful computing and graphics performance to meet the needs of the hero's world.
Combined with the display panel, battery technology, microchips, application space, and other problems, the VR gaming helmet was not as expensive as the LIP Lens Information Processor in terms of manufacturing cost and manufacturing difficulty.
The idea of the VR gaming helmet quickly took shape in Shi Lei's mind. He told Dong Guoguo the ideas in his mind one by one. Finally, he asked, "Old Dong, if you want to make such a VR gaming helmet, what's your preliminary estimate of the cost?"
Dong Guoguo had been studying the LIP Lens Information Processor recently. After Shi Lei explained the general situation, he had a rough idea in his mind. "Boss, the VR gaming helmet you mentioned only costs 2,000 yuan at most!
If we reduce the built-in display panel, the cost can be further reduced. "
After thinking for a while, Dong Guoguo continued, "Boss, according to your plan, this VR gaming helmet is only used to integrate with the hero's world. It's mainly responsible for the display. If we reduce the specifications of the lithium battery and microchips, as well as the screen compression, we should be able to reduce the cost to less than 1,500 yuan!"
Reducing the cost of the display panel meant reducing the high-resolution display panel to a low-resolution display panel.
Reducing the cost of the lithium battery was obviously reducing the capacity of the lithium battery.
As for the microchips, there was no need to reduce the specifications. AMD was Dream Entertainment's company, so there was no need to reduce the cost. It was better to give the players a better gaming experience.
Moreover, the various designs were obviously not in line with Shi Lei's plan of creating a high-quality product. Shi Lei wanted to create a high-quality product, not a product that was just for profit.
"There's no need to reduce the cost!"
Shi Lei rejected Dong Guoguo's suggestion. A mere 2,000 yuan cost was completely acceptable to Shi Lei.
"Old Dong, if we want to produce the VR gaming helmet, what is the production capacity of the Lin 'an underground base?"
The total number of registered players in the hero's world exceeded 15 million. The number of long-term online players exceeded 10 million, and the number of players with personal game servers exceeded 1 million.
Once the VR gaming helmet was on the market, even if the sales were calculated according to the number of players with personal game servers, which meant that if the sales were calculated according to the number of players with personal game servers, it would still be profitable!
