Global Monopoly of Technology

Chapter 713 [Immersive experience like a dream, unprecedented]

The project name of the virtual brain machine has actually been a topic for this set of technologies, that is, the combination of virtual reality + non-invasive brain-computer interface. The biggest technical pain point lies in the two words "non-invasive" + "combination". The technical difficulty of realization The coefficient has soared exponentially.

When Gao Hua heard Luo Sheng's inquiry, he immediately said: "To solve the real immersive experience, there is a solution that is the most promising within the project team. It can be summed up in one word - dream."

Luo Sheng was stunned: "Dream? It's interesting..."

Gao Hua immediately reached out his hand and said, "Mr. Luo, please, I will take you to see a scholar."

Along the way, Luo Sheng also pondered curiously, this idea also made him quite bright. He is a big coffee. After Gao Hua asked the question, he probably guessed why the project team would start with "Dream".

Everyone can dream, but there is no clear answer in the scientific community as to how dreams are formed, but scientists believe that the generation of dreams is related to the function of the hippocampus, the functional area of ​​the human brain that stores memory.

When a person is awake, memories will be formed and stored in the hippocampus functional area. When sleeping, the memory fragments of various functional areas of the brain will be intertwined, resulting in unrestrained dreams with a certain probability.

Some people have nightmares, some people have beautiful dreams, and the time of the dream is also very random. Because the dream state is very random, the scientific community has always been unclear about how the dream state is generated, and can only give some general answers, but there is no The theoretical support of the spectrum can only be a conjecture at most.

How the dream came about is still an unsolved mystery.

Not long after, Luo Sheng was led by Gao Hua to a room with a foreign-looking scholar sitting in it.

"Mr. Luo, this is Professor Victor Vladimir who graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. He has a double doctorate degree in neuropsychology and neurophysiology. His hometown is Ukrain Kyiv."

After Gao Hua's brief introduction, Luo Sheng immediately shook hands with Victor. Luo Sheng respected scholars no matter where he came from.

After a few chats, Gao Hua briefly told Victor that Luo Sheng was interested in what he was researching, and wanted to know a thing or two.

The three of them immediately sat down in the rest area of ​​the room. Victor didn't seem to be good at speaking politely. He looked at Luo Sheng and went straight to the subject: "So far, human beings have not been able to find the cause of the dream, but they have found the control. the way of dreams,

And it is very simple, that is to say, if you use certain dream control skills, you can let you dream what kind of dream you want. "

Luo Sheng asked curiously, "How to achieve it?"

Victor said: "First of all, you must realize that you are dreaming. After entering the dreamland, the moment when the dream occurs, people are unconscious, but at this time, if you can work hard to reawaken your consciousness and combine it with the dream, you will succeed in controlling the dream. one step."

"Secondly, consciously recall and write down some things that happened in the dream. When you first woke up from a dream, the scene in the dream was very clear. At this time, you must try to remember anything that happened in the dream."

"When you dream the next time, you can easily control the development trend of your dreams, and the details you remember determine whether your dreams are fuzzy or clear at the level of your consciousness. If it is clear, it means your consciousness. The dream has been controlled, and the dream will go in the direction your conscious mind wants."

"This is not supported by scientific theory, but a large amount of experimental data proves that it is indeed the case."

Gao Hua also laughed at this time: "The old saying also says that what you think about every day has a dream at night, and the summary of the predecessors is already in place."

Based on Victor's description, Luo Sheng understood it after a little thought, and said, "Understood, I think I should understand your solution, although the reason why the human brain produces dreams is still a mystery, but this is not the point, It doesn't even have anything to do with it, the key point is the inspiration it brings, instead of using the human brain to create dreams directly, but using computer hosts to create dreams, which are carried in the cloud and data centers."

"That is to say, a digital world constructed by 0s and 1s artificially created is a digital virtual dreamland. After the neural network human-computer interaction, awake consciousness can travel in a virtual world and at the same time bring the same effect as in a dreamland. The same real feeling, so as to achieve an unprecedented immersive experience.”

Everyone has dreamed, and experienced how strong the spiritual feeling in a dream is.

In this way, there is no need for additional crappy somatosensory peripheral hardware assistance to enhance the immersive experience, and you can achieve an unprecedented immersive experience while lying still.

Being chased and running away in a dream, the dreamer will not really run away with him in bed all the time, but for the dreamer, the true degree of that feeling is also unforgettable.

You must know that the somatosensory peripherals of virtual reality VR equipment, when players wear VR glasses and other auxiliary somatosensory peripherals during the experience, to outsiders, they are like a sand sculpture dancing there.

The sci-fi movie "Ready Player One" directed by Spielberg, which was released not long ago, actually has a big bug. When players use virtual reality equipment, some actions in the virtual world cannot be done in reality. Very bad experience.

There is also a scene in the movie, a group of players with VR equipment running on the street yelling, just like a group of sand sculptures, this is very outrageous, in reality, players with VR equipment hit a telephone pole, what to do?

And through the inspiration of controlling the dream, it brings an immersive experience like a dream. The best part is more than that. Compared with a person's normal dream, it is often a person's world, and there is no social awakening. Interacting with the virtual digital world created by computers means networking, which is a qualitative change.

It is also an unparalleled interpretation of the phrase "One World, One Dream".

Luo Sheng continued to stay in the virtual brain computer project department for a while, and was quite satisfied with the general understanding of the research and development progress of this project. Although a huge amount of funds were burned, the future is brighter.

The significance of its birth is no exaggeration to say that it is absolutely no less than the birth of the world's first computer "Eniac".

However, virtual brain-computer terminal equipment is still some distance away from commercial popularization. This is not something that can be achieved overnight, but an unprecedented new thing.

A complete set of corresponding underlying infrastructure needs to be built, and virtual brain machines can be truly commercialized as upper-layer applications. Not to mention, 5G in communication needs to be laid out, and the data transmission efficiency of 4G network is absolutely unbearable.

The second is the computing host. Compared with the traditional Internet, the amount of data generated by the virtual world has increased exponentially, and the traditional data center cannot carry it either.

However, this problem has been solved, and the data center of Bluestar Technology has begun to undergo a large-scale upgrade, and the virtual world hosts will be connected to the DNA storage data center.

These problems are all summed up, and achieving them requires one keyword - money.

The popularization of 5G communication technology requires money, and the upgrade of DNA storage data centers also requires money, which is often a huge expenditure of tens of billions of dollars.

Without money, everything is vanity.
