Chapter 285 Watch the whale leap and see the future!
"Mr. Lu, this is what I think!"
"Using real space as the boundary and projection grating as the interactive medium, we create an entertainment experience that can achieve spatial linkage without the need for wearable devices."
"Now all we need is investment. My preliminary estimate is that we can produce the first version of the product prototype within 100 million yuan."
Lu Ming: “…”
There is a voice in my head: Here it comes, here it comes.
As expected, this type of "industry iteration" type of people, as long as they are given some soil, will immediately want to grow a towering tree.
If this person was not summoned by the system, he would not dare to use him!
Isn't this just empty talk?
"So what you're saying is... no VR, no controllers, no wearables, just projection and sensors?"
Lu Ming carefully considered the words and confirmed them.
Yao Wenqing nodded, speaking at a steady pace, but his eyes were extremely firm:
"right."
"We use spatial projection, human perception, and sound and light refraction simulation to achieve dynamic restoration of the real environment."
"Its principle is not to create a virtual world, but to map the game screen to the real world."
"But it's not one of those cheap toys where you just shine a projector on the wall and that's it."
"My vision is to combine spatial computing, image generation, and motion feedback systems to build a home projection entertainment model."
"Users only need to install the device at home, without the need for wearable devices or controllers, to directly participate in combat, solve puzzles, and socialize through optical feedback and motion recognition."
Lu Ming: ………
Lu Ming listened and slowly leaned back in his chair.
Projection games?
Family entertainment?
No equipment to wear?
He remained expressionless, but had already given this goal a label in his mind:
[High cost] [Low conversion] [Sounds like it's going to fail easily] [And it's very expensive]
A subtle arc appeared at the corner of his mouth:
Is there a market for this thing? Can it be made?
Lu Ming felt that he did not have a very good understanding of the market.
But Yao Wenqing had obviously been preparing for a long time, and he presented his plan almost as if he had pressed the play button.
"I've completed a simplified solution for the motion capture module."
"If it can be combined with Whale Leap's main game, I think it should be something!"
Lu Ming was stunned.
Good man, not only are you spending my money, but you're also coveting my own games.
"...It seems you have thought it through." Lu Ming said lightly.
Yao Wenqing nodded seriously, his eyes shining:
"Yes, Mr. Lu, I have been thinking about doing this for more than a year, and I just need the opportunity to land it."
"And, Mr. Lu, once this projection interaction logic is implemented, it will completely rewrite the gaming ecosystem."
"From now on, you won't need a living room TV to play games; you'll need a white wall."
"Whale Leap can be the creator of this standard."
“Games should become part of the real world!”
The more Lu Ming listened, the more he wanted to laugh. He thought to himself,
"If this thing is really made, will this be the standard?"
"Where is the home projector located?"
"People nowadays find it difficult to watch movies with projection, so who would want to experience your projection game?"
“Even if they try it, it’s only for a small number of users!”
"Besides, isn't this theory you're talking about just metaphysics punching the air?"
Therefore, Lu Ming has already come to a conclusion in his mind:
This project will most likely fail.
Projection games are not easy to make!
Even if it is easy to do, it won’t be spread through games!
Besides, aren’t you trying to steal other people’s home theater market?
It's like a rooster wants to lay eggs, but you insist on doing it even though it's not your job!
Will that work?
Moreover, Lu Ming could also tell that Yao Wenqing was not a power-hungry person.
He doesn't care about the core, as long as some results can be achieved, he is willing to wait.
Moreover, the value of such people is often not visible at the moment, and may not even be seen within a year.
But then again, he doesn't lack the 100 million now.
His project sounds expensive.
As soon as you hear it, you can tell that it is the type that is "difficult to produce, cannot be sold, is full of risks, and everyone is suspicious."
Maybe there will be another wave of bad reviews in the future.
Thinking of this, Lu Ming pondered for two seconds, then suddenly turned around and shouted towards the door: "Xiaoxiao!"
"Here!" Lin Xiaoxiao walked in.
"From today on, Lao Yao is a member of our Jingyue!"
"Let's set up a separate project group for Teacher Yao and call it the Whale Watching Studio!"
“Watch the whale leap, see the future!”
"He can choose the staffing. The initial budget is 100 million, and 50 million will be approved in the early stages!"
Lu Ming looked at Yao Wenqing and continued:
“You don’t have to worry about the project progress or the product launch.”
"I won't interfere with your content, set any milestones, or ask for performance."
"You do your own thing."
“I can’t guarantee that the industry models you mentioned will be useful in the future, but I can guarantee that you can stay at Whale Leap.”
The lights in the office are warm.
Yao Wenqing stood there, stunned for three full seconds, as if his brain had short-circuited and he couldn't say anything.
Then he slowly raised his hand, took off his glasses, and rubbed his eye sockets hard.
"...Mr. Lu."
His voice dropped two notches.
"I...I really thank you so much."
This is how many years he has been in this industry.
For the first time, without too much questioning, without framework restrictions, and without budget bottlenecks,
To really be allowed to do your own thing.
No wonder!
Even before he was about to come to Whale Leap yesterday, he had a feeling in his heart.
This time, it will definitely succeed!
He tried to keep his tone steady, but the sob in his voice inevitably slipped out.
"I knew it, I knew I didn't choose the wrong person!"
"Everyone I met before didn't agree with me and said that I would definitely be criticized for my direction!"
"My previous employer said this direction was too advanced and had no future."
"Only you, Mr. Lu..."
Lu Ming waved his hand and said with a smile:
"We are whale leaping."
"Jumping amidst the scolding and swimming in the controversy."
"I support you, not because you will succeed, but because what you are doing is worth doing."
"And I just happen to have the energy to spare."
"This can be considered as... we bumped into each other."
Yao Wenqing bowed again and whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."
"But..." Lu Ming suddenly changed the subject, "I have to remind you of something."
Yao Wenqing: "You say."
Lu Ming: "Your top priority right now isn't recruiting people, burning money, or rushing to build a prototype."
Lu Ming paused and spoke seriously:
"You came today, so you caught up!"
"Our company is now in summer vacation mode."
"Starting today, you'll take a ten-day break."
“With pay.”
"Then wait ten days and come back to work."
"You just started working and it's time to catch up with the policy dividends."
"I'm already ready to go out and have fun, why don't you hurry up and plan your travel route?"
Yao Wenqing: ...
How can this be a place for scientific research?
"But I...my project has just been established..."
Lu Ming: "It doesn't matter."
"This project is already quite advanced, so it doesn't matter if you take ten days off."
"Take a vacation first. When you come back, we'll have all the resources, team, and money ready for you."
Yao Wenqing opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
He never thought that on his first day at work, he would not only set up a project but also be forced to take a "ten-day vacation."
What kind of start is this?
But he couldn't express the resistance in his heart.
Instead, he thought: Whale Leap is a really interesting place.
"Whale Watching Studio."
He murmured.
“Watch the whale leap, see the future.”
Maybe this time it really is different.
He suddenly smiled, his eyes sparkling.
This is the place he has been looking for.
This is where he started.
