Wu Hao was still a little regretful that he did not see the imaging effect of the hexagonal honeycomb lens right away. However, he was also very happy to see such a lens.
After all, this project has lasted for so long and so much investment has been made. It is indeed not easy to achieve results now.
Although this hexagonal honeycomb lens will not be available in a relatively short period of time, Wu Hao is very confident in its market prospects.
You must know that the images we currently see on all screens are divided into two types, one is produced using computer technology, and the other is captured through various imaging devices.
As people's pursuit of high-definition images and their ability to appreciate high-definition images become higher and higher, the quality requirements for high-definition imaging equipment are also getting higher and higher.
After all, without better high-definition imaging equipment, how can we shoot better images? Therefore, higher-quality imaging equipment has high application value in various fields.
For example, in the field of scientific research, it can be used to observe some microscopic worlds that we cannot usually implement, or to perform remote sensing observations on the earth, and it can also be applied to some other special scientific research application scenarios.
For another example, it can be applied to the field of astronomical observation and use this technology to manufacture large compound-eye cameras, which greatly solves the technical problem of large lenses that are difficult to manufacture and process.
The biggest role, or what countries are most concerned about, is its application in the military field. For example, high-altitude and high-speed unmanned reconnaissance aircraft using compound eye lenses, or military reconnaissance satellites in space, or optical systems installed on various equipment
Imaging seeker, etc.
The most economic value should be its application in electronic products, especially digital products.
First let’s talk about the application of this lens on mobile phones. It can replace the various lenses on mobile phones, and it can achieve such a hexagonal honeycomb lens to replace all other lenses.
In this way, it can not only free up a lot of space on the north side of the phone, but also make the north side more concise and easier to design. Instead of now, the entire north side of the phone is almost occupied by the lens.
Secondly, it is to release the precious space inside the mobile phone and on the integrated circuit board. Use these free spaces to place other electronic components, or add more battery space to increase battery life.
Another lens like this not only has many functions, but can also present higher-quality images, making it truly a multi-purpose lens and a multi-purpose camera.
Finally, the compound-eye lens has a very good depth-of-field effect, which means it can be used to shoot higher-quality depth-of-field images, and even 3D images can be shot.
You know, the so-called 3D picture or 3D camera actually uses multiple lenses to shoot a target together, thereby using the depth of field effect brought by the intersection of images to achieve a 3D stereoscopic effect.
A compound-eye camera has more lenses than a 3D camera, and theoretically its 3D imaging effect is much better than that of a 3D camera.
This not only means that they may develop better 3D cameras. It also means that they can make the lenses on everyone's personal mobile devices, smartphones, cameras, or smart AR glasses have a 3D stereoscopic effect.
.
It also means that 3D imaging will be popularized by then.
Even in the future, our video calls can be 3D.
The benefits brought by this are absolutely huge, even immeasurable, which is why Wu Hao is very confident in this.
Of course, Wu Hao set up this R&D project and R&D team for more than just this purpose. He also had practical needs and greater ambitions.
What is the actual demand? It is because Wu Hao and the others currently need a high-quality lens.
You must know that in their current products, lens technology is crucial, and it plays a decisive role in the entire product.
It can be said that a good lens is directly related to the overall performance quality of these products.
The first thing that is most well-known to the public is smart AR glasses. You must know that the interaction of smart AR glasses is all realized by the lens as a media bridge between the real world and virtual data.
The smart AR glasses are equipped with six high-definition cameras. Together with the large-aperture high-definition lens on the smart AR glasses host, there are seven lenses in total, which is not a lot.
But each lens performs its own duties and has its own role, and no one can be missing. The R&D team once thought about compressing the number of lenses, but ultimately failed.
And as other manufacturers are now releasing their own AR glasses one after another, the pressure on Wu Hao and others is still very high. How to stay ahead in the fierce competition is also a problem they urgently want to solve.
In the competition of this type of digital products, although marketing is very important, it is not the most important. The most important thing is technology. You must have the most advanced technology, advanced technology that others do not have and cannot catch up with.
Judging from the products released previously, Wu Hao and the others have achieved it. But whether they can maintain the lead is something that no one can guarantee.
So the only way is to continue working hard and continue to maintain technological leadership.
Wu Hao believes that after the release of this hexagonal honeycomb compound eye lens, they will be able to maintain their leading position in this field for a long time.
In addition, Wu Hao and the others are also important suppliers of drone technology. Currently, their related drones and drone technology have been used in a variety of fields.
Especially in terms of special drones, Wu Hao and the others occupy a large market.
For example, security patrol drones, logistics and transportation drones, light and shadow show drones, and certain drones used in the military field.
A large number of sensors and lenses are installed in these UAVs, especially in security patrol UAVs, logistics transportation UAVs and certain UAVs in the military field, which have higher requirements for lens quality.
The higher the quality of the lens, the better the quality of the picture presented. The better the picture, the more useful information is presented. Through intelligent image recognition technology, relevant targets can be identified more quickly and accurately. This
It is very important in some application scenarios.
For example, traveling at high speed through dense forests, or flying in complex cities. In addition to the various sensors carried by the drone itself, the quality of the lens is also related to the flight safety of these drones.
The reason why Wu Hao and his drones can safely travel at high speeds in such complex scenes is because they use the intelligent image recognition technology they developed, and this technology is very dependent on the quality of the lens.
