Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 844 - 290: Tai Chi Product Launch (Part 2)_2
This is a transitional technology between traditional displays and holographic displays. Through a technology called Global Ultra Perspective Display Extension, the display screen of a computer is no longer limited to the size of the monitor, but can extend the display range from four directions..."
After saying this, Qiao Yu raised his hand and pressed a button on the display table. The panel that previously covered the monitor sank downwards, revealing the monitor placed on the table.
At this moment, the large screen behind Qiao Yu no longer showed the computer’s screen projection but directly followed the camera’s perspective, starting to display this new generation of display in all directions.
Clearly, this was indeed an unprecedented display. Unlike what they just saw on the big screen, the frame was not enclosed by heavy plastic or metal like traditional displays. Instead, it used a layer of transparent glass framing, making the entire screen blend with the surrounding environment.
Regardless of its function, it appeared more concise and modern just by its appearance.
At this moment, Qiao Yu started voice-controlling the computer in front of him again.
"Little Tai, extend the left expansion screen."
"Okay, dear administrator, what content would you like to display?"
"Just a simple split screen will do. Oh right, demonstrate the curved screen effect with the maximum achievable curvature."
"As you wish."
Following Qiao Yu’s command, the glass frame on the left side of the monitor began to "vibrate" subtly up and down. Well, it obviously wasn’t real vibrations, just light flickering at the frame to create a virtual effect. Then, the light started to overflow from the left side...
Until a virtual screen, roughly the size of the main screen, appeared out of thin air on the left side of the main screen. The displayed content was the same as the main screen’s.
Although the clarity couldn’t entirely compete with the main screen, considering the stage lights were still on, achieving such an effect was already astonishing.
At this moment, Qiao Yu didn’t speak anymore, merely raised his hands with a smile. Applause erupted immediately...
Although this wasn’t a purely holographic display, it was just a dynamic display extension feature and wasn’t even three-dimensional. But it was enough to excite those Huaxia tech enthusiasts who found the previous demonstrations too dull.
After all, such an extended display could hardly be seen anywhere else. Traditional electronic computers needed two external monitors to achieve this effect.
Amidst the applause, Qiao Yu didn’t use verbal commands to control the computer anymore. Instead, he raised one hand and pointed a finger at the virtual screen on the left, paused for about half a second, and then swiped upward.
Subsequently, the same scenario appeared on top of the monitor, and then Qiao Yu’s finger performed the same action again; before the applause ceased, an expansion screen appeared on the right side of the monitor.
"As everyone can see, our Tai Chi Computer effortlessly achieves split-screen functionality. Additional expansion areas can be added based on requirements at any time.
With our Global Ultra Perspective Display Extension technology, users can seamlessly handle multitasking on a single display while also adjusting the range and size of the expansion screen as needed. For example, like this..."
He raised his hand again, aiming at the upper expansion screen, pinched his thumb and index finger together, and slowly spread them. As expected, the expansion screen above began to enlarge as well.
As Qiao Yu brought his thumb and index finger together, the screen began to shrink accordingly.
Demonstrating while explaining, Qiao Yu said: "Of course, whether zooming in or out has limits. Moreover, we still cannot overcome the issue of some resolution loss after zooming in.
But please give us some time. I believe when the next generation product is officially released, the clarity and smoothness of the expansion screen will improve further."
As the applause faded away, Qiao Yu said with a tone of regret.
There were already some bigwigs in the alliance who wanted to go on stage and ask Qiao Yu to retract his previous words.
So young and inexperienced!
Even if confident in the next generation’s enhancements, it was not appropriate to state it so clearly at this time. After all, they still needed to look at this generation’s sales.
Such a significant highlight, a thing worth a grand introduction, how can you say the next generation will definitely be better?
How will consumers willingly spend tens of thousands to buy the first-generation product? What if many consumers become "wait-and-see" parties?
The upfront investment was too much, not every company can be wealthy enough to not care about the sales volume, everyone hoped this generation product could at least recoup some of their costs!
Even selling a few hundred more units would provide them with more confidence. But clearly, these were not within Qiao Yu’s considerations.
In fact, Qiao Yu never worried about the Tai Chi Series’ sales. In his view, the people who truly need this product will definitely buy it.
As for those in need but unable to afford it, that’s an insoluble problem. They can only hope for a price drop in future products.
It won’t take a few years. Qiao Yu believes that at most, in four or five years, prices can drop by at least two-thirds.
Not to mention, compared to the domestic market in Huaxia, Qiao Yu thought about further exploring the overseas market.
Even if tariffs are higher, it doesn’t matter. After all, the starting price for overseas will be at least 29,900 euros.
This product has ample profit margin.
As for prohibiting exports?
Are you kidding?
Not allowing Tai Chi Series products to be exported, what about financial transaction security?
Really think a logo authorization from companies like Google can assure eternal security?
Tai Chi Series Computers can support advanced quantum computing. This means once Tai Chi starts selling, not only will he be able to help financial markets conduct secure transaction tests with his team.
Any entity prohibiting the sale of Tai Chi Series in their territory means their financial transaction systems won’t receive effective quantum security protection.
Qiao Yu believes those in power can discern what’s more important.
Even if they can’t, there will be insiders to help them recognize the reality.
Financial asset crashes are never the most frightening. The most terrifying is always the lack of adequate security for financial assets, that is the true nightmare.
This is where Qiao Yu’s confidence lies. Since he decided to design the Tai Chi Series out of dissatisfaction with Microsoft, his goal was the global market.
In order to achieve this goal, he would use any means except taking action personally.
For instance, by nurturing a group of talents adept in using Tai Chi’s advanced quantum simulation operations under the guise of cultivating quantum network security personnel.
As for how these talents may use these technologies in the future, that wasn’t his concern.
After all, he wasn’t the one who proposed the concept of Quantum Dominance. On the contrary, everything he did was to prevent Quantum Dominance from becoming a reality.
As for cultivating security talents leading to some unsafe incidents, it’s a pain point in the course of technological development. Every technological advance requires some to endure these pains.
You can’t always cry about the harms of Quantum Dominance just because it hasn’t been possessed domestically.
So, unlike those bigwigs in the audience, Qiao Yu never worried about sales of the Tai Chi Series from beginning to end, thus he could speak freely.
"The basics end here for now. In fact, compared to the features I’m going to demonstrate next, everything just shown is insignificant.
As we all know, personal computers have always been more than just a simple tool; they are our best entertainment companions and, for many, irreplaceable productivity tools.
The birth of the first classic computer signaled a leap in productivity. Similarly, the advent of the first-generation quantum simulation computer indicates a significant surge in productivity. Next, I’m going to demonstrate the tool attributes of Tai Chi!"
