Kechuang Bio's foray into the VR field has been met with great optimism from both the public and capital perspectives.

Because brain-computer interfaces greatly enhance VR and can bring richer functionality.

Current mainstream VR games are limited by their control methods, making spatial movement difficult to achieve within VR.

Previously, the mainstream method was through omnidirectional treadmills, but very few people could afford to buy one for their homes, making it too difficult to implement.

This level of difficulty is almost equivalent to being able to afford an e-sports pod; this kind of VR is only suitable for a very small number of wealthy gamers.

As for using a simulator, it also requires space to place, which is not very practical for ordinary players.

Brain-computer interfaces enable continuous spatial movement, meaning a wider variety of game genres can be presented in VR.

Some media outlets have already regarded the future of science and technology innovation as the culmination of the metaverse. The metaverse sector of the A-share market has followed suit with a surge.

The gaming industry has also reacted strongly, with miHoYo taking the lead by stating that it will develop entirely new games for brain-computer interface VR if conditions are right.

We will also consider porting Genshin Impact to brain-computer interface VR.

The restriction on game licenses that year made it impossible for medium-sized game developers to replicate the success of Genshin Impact.

Tencent has stated that it will definitely develop a major work of its own for brain-computer interface VR.

Overseas digital enthusiasts have reacted strongly to Kechuang Bio's foray into the VR field:

"Brain-computer interface for VR, just thinking about it is so cool!"

"Will the scenes in Ready Player One become a reality? With movement achieved through brain-computer interfaces, VR games will no longer be a one-dimensional experience, but will allow for interaction with the game world."

"What I'm most concerned about is whether Kechuang Bio's brain-computer interface technology has made any progress. Can they achieve force feedback? Or is it just a one-way signal transmission like brain-computer interfaces with mobile phones?"

Force feedback refers to the feedback that players can receive when they collide or hit something in VR games, and they can feel the force. It is somewhat similar to the realism mentioned in online game novels a long time ago.

"Force feedback exoskeletons are just too expensive. I tried one at a VR expo, and it was really cool, but a set costs between 20,000 and 50,000 US dollars. I hope that Kechuang Bio can achieve a breakthrough in force feedback!"

With the widespread adoption of brain-computer interfaces connecting mobile phones in English-speaking countries, Kechuang Bio has gained considerable fame in overseas markets, and Zheng Li has also been heavily promoted, being regarded by foreigners as China's Iron Man.

It's just a biological version of Iron Man.

The benefit that the company's reputation brought to Kechuang Bio was that they were able to easily poach the technical team from Secondmind.

Making AI chips in a monopolistic field is much easier than fighting in the red ocean of autonomous driving, not to mention that the compensation offered by Kechuang Bio is 50% higher.

"I just hope that the brain-computer interface VR developed by Kechuang Bio can be cheaper. Brain-computer interface mobile phones are 200 yuan more expensive than regular mobile phones. If brain-computer interface VR is also only 200 yuan more expensive than regular VR, I think it is completely acceptable."

“Brain-computer interfaces should have been combined with VR a long time ago. When brain-computer interface phones came out, I predicted that Kechuang Bio would develop brain-computer interface VR, but it took so long to develop.”

"Why Chinese technology products again? We must boycott Chinese digital products!"

"Shut upstairs. Musk's brain-computer interface phone is far inferior to Kechuang Bio. As a consumer, it's my right to use the best products. Musk won't share a single penny of the money he makes from using Musk's brain-computer interface!"

After the news broke, some media outlets interviewed Musk, who said, "Brain-computer interface VR is a great idea. Neuralink has always wanted to do brain-computer interface VR, but the technology wasn't mature enough before."

“We will continue to work in this direction. I am very optimistic about brain-computer interface VR and Kechuang Biotechnology. However, this field is a very broad market that can accommodate many players. It is not a zero-sum game. We are not competitors with Kechuang Biotechnology.”

"We are more like cultivators, working together to expand the market size of brain-computer interfaces!"

Musk is adept at confusing concepts, categorizing Neuralink and Kechuang Bio as companies of the same level in his rhetoric.

Zheng Li serves concurrently as the chairman of Kechuang Future, while the general manager at the operational level is a senior executive sent by Tencent.

Because Zheng was in Kuala Lumpur, he delegated many decisions to Li Miaomiao, only making judgments at key junctures.

Since the establishment of Kechuang Future at the end of March, progress has been rapid, and VR technology has become relatively mature.

Although there are no relative standards, the upstream and downstream supply chains are very mature.

Backed by Sci-Tech Biotechnology, Tencent, and Xiaomi, it's fair to say that all suppliers in the domestic VR industry chain want to get on board this giant ship.

Li Miaomiao had witnessed firsthand the rice industry's ability to squeeze the supply chain; they were the kind of companies that would push their suppliers to the limit.

If a single component allows the other party to earn only five dollars, then rice will absolutely not allow them to earn ten dollars.

Li Miaomiao repeatedly asked the head of the supply chain department, "If we squeeze suppliers like this, can they guarantee that they will provide us with the best parts?"

The supply chain manager stated directly, "Definitely not, but the parts they provide must pass our acceptance tests before we will make payment."

“If we set this price, the parts they provide will definitely not be the best grade; they will only be B or C grade. You can’t get A grade parts at this price.”

Li Miaomiao continued, "Why don't we raise the price a bit and use the best components to give users the best experience?"
