The bell took out the hand-painted board and began to draw the design of the new device on the hand-drawn board.

For the hardware design bell is not particularly professional, especially for the world's scientific and technological level is not too understanding, some ideas can be put forward, but the details are not very clear.

So the bell ringing more or put forward some ideas, as for whether these ideas can be achieved, how much it will cost to achieve, and whether the final price can be controlled to about 10,000, these are the problems that Lin Xiaoguang needs to consider.

The first is a similar part to Game OMNI.

GAME OMNI is now the latest technology products, its design is not perfect, but it is generally the best solution, the new equipment that Zhong Ming will do is inevitably similar to GAME OMNI in some places.

The most similar point is the design of 360-degree full surround screen + panoramic sound, which is basically nothing to change.

The only thing that can be changed is to make the screen into a flexible screen, which can be collected like a scroll when not used, but then the price must be much higher, the price is not so fragrant, and the combination of the screen must have a gap, which may not be very friendly.

GAME OMNI's solution is to fully surround the screen, rise to the top of the upper bracket when not in use, because there is a 10,000-way treadmill under the bottom, has occupied space, so although the full surround screen is also occupied, but it is not a problem.

And from the market feedback point of view, most of the players who bought GAME OMNI do not have much opinion on this, and it is not very cost-effective to spend a large price on the flexible screen.

In addition, the shooting of the game must also be carried out through the gun simulator, and it must be a long gun, a short gun configuration, which is the same as GAME OMNI.

But specific to the universal treadmill, the gun function button, the two will have a clear difference.

The bell began to quickly draw the construction of the new device on a hand-painted board.

The first is the universal treadmill, the Zhong Ming concept to completely change the current way of stepping and moving, to change to a universal treadmill mode similar to the electric balance car.

In the past life of Zhongming, there are already many types of balance cars, there are two wheels, there are one wheels, there are two feet of one wheel, but at that time, it was limited by the problem of energy and power, the battery life of these devices is more embarrassing, but in general, the technology has long been available.

The world's balance car is more advanced, the bell before the ringing on the network saw a new type of balance car, the soles of the foot on a ball wheel, the use of special suspension technology, can be moved in any direction.

Of course, this kind of thing is more difficult to control than the average balance car, but more flexible.

The new universal treadmill designed by Zhongming is inspired by this new balance car, so that players can simulate movement through tilt, and experience the use of balance car movement in reality.

The universal treadmill is also a circular platform, but unlike the GAME OMNI solution, there are running bands on them, and the running belts will move in the opposite direction according to the movement rate of the balance car on the player's foot.

In other words, the bottom wheel of the running belt and the balance car are one, when the player tilts the body to move, the bottom wheel of the balance car is indeed turning rapidly, but because the running belt of the Wanxiang treadmill is also moving, so the player's position in the space is not changed, but the sense of the player is indeed in the movement.

Coupled with the audio-visual effects attached to the large screen of the device, this feeling is definitely better than stepping on a certain area to move.

In this way, the characters in the game can also make more high-end operations.

The original movement, just moving in a certain direction, the player needs to repeatedly step on different moving areas when changing rapidly, feeling a bit like playing with a dance blanket, to be honest or a little embarrassed.Although the people outside the big screen are not very clear what the people inside GAME OMNI are doing, many anchors who open the camera live broadcast are ridiculed by the audience for this step.

But now, the player's experience is more like skating, not simply moving footsteps to step on, but through the tilt and offset of the body to move, the action is more beautiful, the performance is more natural.

Players can also make some more complex actions, such as suddenly a handsome side swing in the high-speed taxi, with an arced route around a point for high-speed movement, and then instantly hit a shuttle to the target, this operation is GAME OMNI can never do.

Moreover, this device is easier than skating because there will be an auxiliary support system.

GAME OMNI also has this thing, specifically, a circular buffer buckle ring in the player's waist as a bracket, while the buckle and base with a special mechanical structure connection, always ensure that the player's tilt does not exceed a certain angle, and with the help of help can quickly turn back or tilt in the opposite direction, and so on.

When the bell is designed, of course, there will be a similar auxiliary support system to ensure that the player's tilt always does not exceed a certain range, and with the help of help, the player can easily fall hundreds of times in the skating rink to learn the action.

Secondly, the bell ringing in the waist of the auxiliary support system added an arc baffle, this baffle in the player's chest position, with the chest is equal wide, will always be in front of the player's body.

The player's auxiliary support system, which can be said to be something similar to a "belt", is divided into two layers.

The inner and outer layers ensure the convenience of steering through a similar technology of magnetic levitation, the outer layer is connected to the base with a special mechanical structure, and the inner layer is close to the player's body and fixed to the player's waist.

This allows the player to turn very easily.

The inner layer of the bracket, the baffle and the auxiliary support system are one, so that when the player turns the body, the baffle will always be in front.

There are three different grooves on the bracket, the left and right two grooves are slightly smaller, and the middle groove is slightly larger, which is in a vertical shape.These grooves are designed to share the functionality on the gun simulator, so that the player no longer has to do all the operations.

The specific operation is: for example, when the player needs to perform a certain behavior on himself, such as the use of therapeutic agents, directly insert the pistol muzzle into the corresponding grooves on the chest bracket, pull the trigger, the screen will appear to use the therapeutic agent reading bar, after reading the strip, take it away, the use is completed.

In addition, the bracket is the default hanging two gun simulators, the left hand pistol, and the right hand long gun.The shooting of the left-handed pistol simulator is only a relatively marginal auxiliary function, and its main role is to perform some specific operations, such as the use of therapeutic agents, shield charging, throwing explosives, and so on.

When throwing explosives, the position of the screen pointing at the muzzle of the pistol extends a parabola, indicating the player's trajectory of the explosive.

Players can even shoot with a long gun in their right hand while injecting themselves with a pistol in their left hand – provided you really use it without being busy.

In this way, the player in the process of fierce struggle to give themselves a shield or treatment is also OK, as for the specific how to do, is the long gun hanging up to pick up the pistol operation, or continue to use the long gun to fire at the same time with the pistol operation, all look at the player's personal habits.

In addition, the bell also considered some small optimizations.

For example, adding acceleration effect to the turn, the player can choose whether to open or not.If it is opened, the faster the player moves when turning around, the greater the angle of turning, and can achieve the effect of turning a large angle with a little turn; if it is not opened, the angle of turning is completely consistent with the change of the screen.

The former is more convenient, but requires players to take a certain amount of time to adapt; the latter is relatively stupid, but more realistic.

...

The bell quickly drew the prototype, including the various views and details of the structure inside.

Of course, how to achieve the specific, that is Lin Xiaoguang need to worry about things, Zhong Ming is just his own needs and ideas to express in as much detail as possible.

Zhong Ming looked closely at the prototype again, felt that the degree of completion was almost complete, and changed hands to Lin Xiaoguang through the bracelet.

Lin Xiaoguang quickly replied, “So fast?”

Then, he added: "This universal treadmill ... a little different."Can it be done?”

Zhong Mingming replied, "When you have time to open a video call, I will tell you in detail."

“Wait a minute.”

Ten minutes later, Lin Xiaoguang dialed a video call request, and the bell rang.

Looking at Lin Xiaoguang's situation there, he should still be cleaning up his new office location.

Yunuo Technology also rented an office building, not far from the low-light studio, about ten minutes by car, these bells are not taken care of, Lin Xiaoguang and other employees to choose, is certainly a priority to make them satisfied.

"Teacher Zhong, you are really fast, my new office has not been cleaned up, your new equipment design has come out."Lin Xiaoguang lamented.

The bell laughed, “How do you feel?Especially the balance car universal treadmill, is it difficult?”

Lin Xiaoguang said: "It is not too difficult, the balance car this thing is already a rotten thing, all kinds of technology is very mature, the balance of the car data synchronization to a universal treadmill can achieve the effect you want."Even if there is a little error, as long as a little effort to debug it can be solved.However, I am worried about other problems, walking into skating, is this appropriate?GAME OMNI didn’t do a similar design, and it should be for that reason, right?”

Lin Xiaoguang's concern is that the movement effect simulated by Zhongming this device is closer to skating, and in fact, almost all FPS games are moving on foot.

Walking and skating are very different in senses.

GAME OMNI is obviously a relatively conservative scheme, although the player does not really walk, but through the foot movement, stampede way, at least with the step of the move.But the bell ringing this simply made skating, so that the match with the game content has become lower.

What's more, even if the player can make actions such as "drawing an arc" through this device, how to perform in the game?

What scene will other players see when they see you making the "arc glide" operation?

Do your characters run normally like you wear skateboard shoes and then draw an arc on the ground?Crazy moving?

Certainly not appropriate.

“Lin, your thinking is not enough.Think about the advantages of this solution over the GAME OMNI solution.”The bell prompted.

Lin Xiaoguang thought: "The player's experience is better, no longer have to step on this like a dance blanket, just like playing a skating simulator, you can complete some operations by tilting the body."And the player can make more difficult operations after adapting, such as quickly crossing a semi-circular arc and shooting at the center position.Also, simulate the movement of the balance car, accelerate and calm down, making the player experience more realistic."

Lin Xiaoguang, after all, is engaged in hardware, and many problems have figured out on their own.

The solution of GAME OMNI has a big problem, that is, after the player steps on the moving area, the game character will immediately move in that direction at a set "running" speed, which will not change.

But the design of the bell ringing is similar to the balance car, the speed will be slightly slower at the beginning, and in a short period of time, it will continue to accelerate to the top speed, and at the same time, according to the player's physical control, the speed will change, such as the player's back is the brakes, sideways can achieve a corner, the handling is better than too much.

Moreover, this gentle acceleration situation allows players to get a better view, and it is not easy to faint.

“So, if you don’t think about the cooperation with the game content, can you think of a better all-round treadmill solution than this?”The bell asked.

Lin Xiaoguang was silent for five minutes: "Yes, for a while, no more."

The bell laughed, “Surely not.Do the players really run?No, no, no. The players are tired.By stepping?How Game OMNI does it, and it’s not good enough.Therefore, replacing the traditional mode of movement with a new mode of movement is an inevitable result.So let's go back to the question we said before, since the simulator and the game don't match perfectly, and the simulator experience is more important, then the next choice is very simple."

Lin Xiaoguang paused for a moment: “You mean... changing the game?”Adapting the game to the simulator?”

The bell smiled and said, “Lin is a wise man.That’s what I thought, changing the game and adapting the game to the simulator.Since similar solutions are optimal in the simulator, it is certainly impossible for the simulator to accommodate the game.My plan is to change the way the game moves, all the way it goes, to -- to slide away."

"All . . . . . slip away . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Hahaha, you're always humorous."The bell sounded, "Who said that there must be ice when you slide in the game?"This is nothing more than a packaging problem, I set the story background in the future, the people inside wearing special high-tech roller skates will not be on the line?"
