Cui Hu Building, Dream Entertainment's temporary headquarters.
Shuiyun Studio's World of Heroes Somatosensory Control Room was about 40 square meters. It contained two somatosensory control platforms and some chairs for resting.
The somatosensory control platform consisted of a graphics processing workstation, four projectors, four projection cloths, eight high-definition cameras, and two high-sensitivity microphones.
This was the luxurious configuration of the somatosensory control platform. The four projection cloths and four projectors formed a 360-degree panoramic view. It was possible to reproduce the situation in the game.
Mu Feng, Storm, and the other players followed Shi Lei to the somatosensory control room. Their eyes immediately lit up as they looked at the two somatosensory control platforms.
The two somatosensory control platforms looked exactly the same as the ones shown in Sword vs Arrow II!
"Director Shi, is this the somatosensory control system?" Mu Feng impatiently asked.
"That's right. This is the somatosensory control platform that supports the somatosensory control system."
Shi Lei pointed at the graphics processing workstation behind the projection cloth and continued his introduction. "This graphics processing workstation is the main computer responsible for running the Hero's World. A single unit costs more than 50,000 yuan. The total price of the four high-definition projectors is close to 50,000 yuan. Eight high-definition cameras and two high-sensitivity microphones add up to about a thousand to two thousand yuan.
In other words, setting up a somatosensory control platform costs around 100,000 yuan. "
Hearing that the game's configuration cost around 100,000 yuan, the five lucky players couldn't help but frown.
In 2007, 100,000 yuan wasn't a small amount. In the eyes of many, it was an astronomical figure.
Fortunately, Shi Lei's words gave them hope.
"These two somatosensory control platforms are the luxurious configuration.
However, the high price isn't something that ordinary players can afford.
Therefore, there's a low-end version of the somatosensory control platform. It's equipped with a basic graphics processing workstation, a standard definition projector, two to four high-definition cameras, and a high-sensitivity microphone. It only costs around 15,000 yuan. "Shi Lei pointed at the projection cloths.
Currently, the players who were able to obtain the invitation to the World of Heroes beta testing were mostly middle-to-high-end players. They could definitely afford the hardware that cost around 15,000 yuan.
However, there were also some players who were lucky enough to obtain Dream Entertainment's beta tester invitation code. Unfortunately, they did not have the spare cash to purchase hardware that could easily exceed 10,000 yuan.
Dream Entertainment also provided a solution for this group of players.
Shi Lei looked at the five lucky players and explained, "In addition to the projector version of the somatosensory platform, the Hero's World also supports a monitor version.
Players only needed to add high-definition cameras and high-sensitivity microphones to experience the Hero's World.
However, due to the performance problems of personal computers, it will greatly reduce the image quality of the Hero's World. Furthermore, the display screen is too small, so it's inconvenient for the body to operate. Dream Entertainment does not recommend this method. "
The five lucky players who had been selected to experience the game heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that the last option was not recommended.
At the very least, they still had some hope, right?
In fact, although the Hero's World was currently an epoch-making product, it could be called a hardware killer.
However, in the next few years, the development of computer hardware increased by leaps and bounds. After 2010, the performance of personal computers could completely surpass the workstation level servers of 2007.
Storm pinched his chin and asked, "Mr. Shi, does Dream Entertainment sell a somatosensory operating platform?"
"Dream Entertainment does not provide it.
The somatosensory operating platform is actually another form of personal computer. The host computer is replaced with a workstation level server, and the screen is replaced with a projector.
All the hardware of the somatosensory operating platform needs to be configured by the players themselves.
However, Dream Entertainment will provide guidance and suggestions on how to purchase it. "
Shi Lei clapped his hands. "Okay, the questions are over. Now, please pay attention. We will arrange for two staff members to demonstrate how to operate the system. The demonstration will only be done once."
After speaking, Shi Lei clapped his hands. Zhu Jianyun and Tong Wenchong from Aqua Cloud Studio entered the somatosensory operating platform surrounded by four projectors.
Ten players stood in the gaps between the projectors and carefully watched Zhu Jianyun and Tong Wenchong's operation methods.
The four projectors lit up at the same time. As the demonstrator, Zhu Jianyun was the first to speak. "There are four ways to log in to the Hero's World. The first way is the traditional keyboard input. It is specially prepared for players who use the computer screen for entertainment. We will not be demonstrating the first way for now."
Mu Feng, Thunderbolt, Storm, and the others didn't speak. They just listened quietly.
Zhu Jianyun raised his hands and his palms faced the projector. His ten fingers moved slightly, and a virtual keyboard was immediately projected on the projector directly in front of him.
"The second way is to follow my previous actions and give the system a prompt. The system will project the virtual keyboard and then use your eyes to look at the letters you need to enter. For example, if I enter the account 'Test001', I only need to look at the corresponding letters.
This login method is based on the visual focus locking system in the Hero's World. It is currently not mature and the recognition delay is relatively high.
We are doing our best to optimize this technology. "
Zhu Jianyun explained the technology while using the visual focus locking system to enter the account number. The whole process was somewhat slow.
After entering, Zhu Jianyun didn't log in. Instead, he continued to demonstrate the third login method.
"The third login method is a relatively simple one. It uses voice or lip reading to enter the account information and password.
For example, in my next demonstration, the account number is' Test001 'and the password is' Test001 '. "
As Zhu Jianyun's voice fell, the account information and password information for the Hero's World login box were all entered.
"This technology isn't very confidential. Dream Entertainment doesn't recommend using it in public.
We recommend the fourth login method, which is also the easiest. "
Zhu Jianyun paused for a moment and looked at Shi Lei. Shi Lei nodded at him, and Zhu Jianyun continued, "The fourth method is to use dynamic behavior characteristics to log in.
The so-called dynamic behavior characteristics log in is to let the system record your dynamic behavior characteristics and then set the corresponding dynamic behavior characteristics as login information. This will completely bind the account to you and no one will be able to use your account.
Next, I will demonstrate to you the power of dynamic behavior characteristics log in. Please watch my actions carefully! "
Zhu Jianyun put his palms together and bowed. The Hero's World login box on the projector immediately responded with a message.
"Account information has been verified. Do you want to log in to the Hero's World?"
Mu Feng and the others widened their eyes. Did they pass just by bowing to the login box?
Shi Lei looked at everyone with a smile and interrupted, "Do you think that the login process is very simple?
Wasn't the bowing action just now very simple?
Mu Feng, give it a try! "
"Okay!"
Mu Feng didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement. Then, he entered the center of the somatosensory control platform surrounded by projector cloths and imitated Zhu Jianyun. He put his palms together and bowed to the Hero's World login box.
However, the projector cloths responded with a different message.
"Account information has not been verified. No dynamic behavior characteristics have been detected."
Mu Feng didn't believe it and bowed again, but he still couldn't pass.
"Strange!" Mu Feng snorted and tried again, but he still couldn't pass.
Shi Lei laughed and said, "Tempest, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Hattori Ishinomori, you can all try!"
The other four super players also took turns to try, but they couldn't pass the verification.
Then, the five lucky players also tried it one by one, but the results were negative.
Finally, Zhu Jianyun reappeared and bowed casually. His actions this time were obviously different from the first time, but he still passed the verification.
Zhu Jianyun explained to the players, "The dynamic behavior characteristics login system can identify every player's dynamic behavior characteristics.
The so-called dynamic behavior characteristics may look similar, but they are like fingerprints. Everyone is different.
The dynamic behavior characteristics login system records my dynamic behavior characteristics, just like my fingerprints. Only I can activate it! "
"I see!
Doesn't that permanently eliminate the risk of being hacked? "Tempest nodded in understanding and asked.
"That's right. As long as the dynamic behavior characteristics are locked, even if you use the keyboard to enter your account and password, you won't be able to enter the game.
For high-end players or players with important virtual assets, Dream Entertainment recommends only keeping the dynamic behavior characteristics login and removing the clear account and password, "Zhu Jianyun explained.
"Next, another colleague and I will demonstrate how to use the somatosensory control platform to fight. Please watch carefully, because after our demonstration, you will personally fight to compete for the one and only first-class guild slot!" Zhu Jianyun said.
The battle between Zhu Jianyun and Tong Wenchong was simple. Zhu Jianyun explained as he fought, "The game character is treated as Level Zero, which is equivalent to a normal healthy human. The machete I use only needs to imagine that I have a machete in my hand and fight according to the game's feedback.
My colleague uses a mace, which only needs to be fought normally.
Dream Entertainment recommends that newbies use simple weapons, not swords, guns, long-handled machetes, and other technical weapons that are difficult to control. "
Shi Lei stood at the side, very satisfied with Zhu Jianyun's explanation. However, the phone in his pants pocket rang at an untimely time.
He took out his phone and saw that the number was' 5 ', which meant that it was Izur!
Shi Lei quickly answered the phone. If there was nothing important, Izur would never contact him.
"What's the matter?" Shi Lei did not call out Izur's name because there were other people around.
"Sir, we found clues about Lingyumo …"
