In fact, research and development projects on AR and VR started very early. Basically, at the same time that they were developing the second-generation intelligent voice assistant, the relevant pre-research work in this area had already begun.
Therefore, in the past two years or so, the two project research and development teams have not done nothing. On the contrary, they have achieved very good results in many aspects.
Several AR and VR engineering prototypes have been developed and updated for several generations. From the initial prototype, they have slowly matured and are getting closer to consumer products.
If we follow general standards and requirements, these two AR and VR products can already be released at this level.
But Wu Hao felt that it was not enough, because these two products were not perfect enough or amazing enough. At the beginning, he said that he would launch an epoch-making product, but he had already boasted about it, so he had to realize it.
So he wanted two products that could shock the entire market and amaze everyone. If these two products are not released, they will definitely trigger a new wave of technological era.
The outside world has always been very interested in the research and development projects of their new products, and there have been many speculations and reports. Although this project is a key scientific research project even within the company, and few people know about and have direct contact with this project, it is still called "
Sources' revealed.
In this regard, the outside world is actually not very optimistic about their development of AR and VR products, but they are still looking forward to them coming up with the products. But then Wu Hao and the others announced that the release of the new products will be delayed, which undoubtedly made the outside world speculate.
Suddenly, Wu Hao and his team encountered difficulties in their research and development project and the progress was not smooth.
Also under this turmoil, a group of people who badmouthed them quietly emerged and became active on the Internet. Some people like it and some people hate it. This is a matter of personal preference. It doesn't matter, and Wu Hao doesn't care.
But this kind of organized pessimism and dirty talk made him a little annoyed by people behind the scenes. Although the company's external publicity department and legal department rectified this, the effect was not ideal. Apply for a public account
The cost of Weibo accounts is too low to be eliminated.
Moreover, on the Internet, it is actually more troublesome to obtain evidence, the laws in this area are also vague, and the sentencing is relatively light, which does not have much significance as a deterrent.
Over time, it has become a cat-and-mouse game. The harder you push, the more these people jump and even feel proud of it.
It's like having a swarm of flies around you. Although it won't do any real harm to you, the buzzing makes you annoyed and it's troublesome to clean up.
Therefore, except for some of the more violent ones and those with more bad influence, they will be handed over to the legal department for evidence collection, prosecution and severe punishment, while others just turn a blind eye.
It is also under this background that members of the AR and VR R&D project teams are under a lot of pressure. Even as the Chinese New Year is approaching, the project team is very calm, as if these have nothing to do with everyone.
Compared to the Chinese New Year, what everyone hopes now is to overcome these difficulties as soon as possible and successfully develop these two products.
Therefore, in addition to handling some trivial matters in the company, Wu Hao basically spends most of his time in the project team working with everyone.
Since office conditions are relatively relaxed now, the entire project team actually occupies an entire floor. The entire floor belongs to the project team's R&D laboratory, which is divided into three parts: one large, two small, and three.
First of all, the two small ones are the AR and VR project R&D teams, while the larger one is the intersection of the two R&D teams, or the public part, responsible for the R&D work in the intersection of the two projects, AR and VR.
The entire AR and VR R&D project team has about a hundred people in total, responsible for all aspects of R&D work, including hardware, software, integration, and content docking.
The members of the entire project team are generally relatively young, basically around 26 or 77 years old. More than 80% of them are highly educated research talents with a master's degree or above, and the remaining 20% are from various fields.
Selected from the best among the best.
The leader or person in charge of the AR project R&D team is a Ph.D. student from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His name is Sun Qihang, who is thirty-five years old this year. He has been working in Silicon Valley before, and Lin Jianliang, the director of the Human Resources Department, spent a lot of effort to find him.
Yes, a real annual salary of one million + talents.
The person in charge of VR is our native Beiqing doctor named Huang Wentao, who is only 29 years old this year. Huang Wentao previously had a VR technology research and development entrepreneurial team, but the lack of management and funds led to the project's eventual abortion. This is also the case.
At that time, Lin Jianliang found them. Under the generous conditions promised, Huang Wentao and several people from his team followed Lin Jianliang back.
The two people have completely different personalities. Sun Qihang is the kind of outgoing talent who is particularly confident and flamboyant. This may be due to his high education and prestigious school, so he has a kind of arrogance in his words and deeds.
Of course, his academic qualifications did give him the confidence to be proud. However, after several rounds of contact and confrontation with Wu Hao, especially Wu Hao's rich 'knowledge', his arrogance was completely shattered.
Without trace, he began to be convinced by Wu Hao.
Huang Wentao is relatively reserved, doesn't speak much, and speaks more reservedly. His personality as a science and engineering man is fully revealed. However, he is very capable. It is precisely because of this ability that he was able to form an entrepreneurial team before.
Even though it later aborted due to lack of formal management and funds, several people were still willing to follow him, which shows his ability and talent.
Unlike Sun Qihang, Huang Wentao is sincerely convinced by Wu Hao. What convinces him is not only Wu Hao's rich knowledge and technology, but also the fact that Wu Hao can lead several partners to start a business successfully in poverty and poverty, and eventually develop and grow.
experience.
In Huang Wentao's words, he came here to learn from Wu Hao's profound knowledge and his ability to start a business. When the time is right in the future, he will leave and start his own business.
Wu Hao didn't pay attention to this. There were many people in the company who had such ideas, and he was the only one. And some things can be learned, and some things cannot be learned.
Wu Hao is confident that he can make Huang Wentao follow him wholeheartedly with his ability and charm, coupled with the stock and option incentive plan, as well as such an excellent and stable scientific research environment. After a few years, I am afraid that few of these people will be able to do so.
It's a thought.
If he really leaves to start a business in the end, it doesn't matter. Even if he lets these people help these people, can they surpass him?
What he has in his hands will never be available to these people.
