Future super intelligent system

Chapter 252 Academic Influence

Although the standards of the virtual reality industry have not been truly established, it is precisely because they have not been established that everyone is rushing to establish them. This has led to a very interesting phenomenon, which is the emergence of a lot of non-profit virtual reality companies. Related organizations.

Similar to the Global Virtual Reality Association, the Virtual Reality Equipment Standards Organization, the Virtual Reality Semiconductor Standards Association, the Virtual Reality Application Standards Association, etc., but what is the purpose of these so-called non-profit organizations? They are all to grab the right to formulate standards. In the virtual reality market, no one has dominated the market, so everyone began to consider forming an alliance, and a few bigwigs will share the standard cake together.

However, after these alliances have been established for so many years, one reason why standards still have not come out is because the distribution of interests and status within the alliance is not well adjusted at all.

After communicating with Xu Jing, Liu Fan learned that the most emerging alliance this time was the Global Virtual Reality Association, which was jointly established by Google, HTC, Samsung, Sony, Oculus and Acer.

There are two basic concepts of this association, the first is to unleash the potential of virtual reality to the maximum extent, and the second is to establish standards.In the past two years, they have made frequent and high-profile claims that the Global Virtual Reality Association will create a standard for the virtual reality industry.

Such an association has been settled for so many years. Suddenly, Wood Dragon Technology came out to seize the right to formulate standards. Of course they were not happy, but after looking at the members of the Global Virtual Reality Association, Liu Fan felt very curious. HTC and Acer It is an enterprise in Taiwan Province, and the relationship with Wood Dragon Technology has always been good, especially HTC, which now cooperates with Wood Dragon Technology in more than 30 projects.

And Google, Samsung and Sony are now their in-depth partners. Why are they the most aggressive this time?Are you willing to fall out with yourself for the sake of a virtual reality standard?
After hanging up the phone, Liu Fan told Ji Mushui and Liu Wei about the matter, and also asked about his doubts.

Ji Mushui gave him the answer, "Although the Global Virtual Reality Association is led by these companies, with the development of this association and the changes in the strength of each company in recent years, there are now real standards in the Global Virtual Reality Association Those who have the right to speak are mainly Nvidia, AMD, Facebook, Valve Software, etc.

In the past, Google still had a great say, but since Google's in-depth cooperation with you, their voice has become smaller and smaller, and now it is not even as powerful as Epic Games.

Another point is that this so-called non-profit organization is supported by membership fees, so your capital investment will also affect your status in this organization, so are there any hidden players that are affecting the association? Decided, it's hard to say. "

"So that's it." Liu Fan put the mobile phone he had been holding in his hand into his pocket, "There is another thing, they are going to launch an academic attack on our Wood Dragon Technology."

"Academic attack?" Liu Wei turned his head to look at Liu Fan, and it was obvious that he was sensitive to this word.

"Well, I heard from Sister Xu Jing that many alliances and associations are preparing to remove us, and may even block the scientific research materials we provide, and will not allow us to participate more in their internal academic exchanges."

"Are they crazy? How much is it a loss for them to drive Wood Dragon Technology out of the academic world? The artificial intelligence research materials provided by Wood Dragon Technology every year are invaluable." He Lin who was on the side suddenly She opened the mouth and said that she has followed Liu Fan all the way to the present, and she actually understands many situations very well.

"This is already a suicidal war." Ji Mushui looked at He Lin and said, "The result they want is to reduce the voice of Mulong Technology in the academic circle and reduce the influence of Mulong Technology in the academic circle. force to block Mulong Technology’s standard-setting qualifications in the academic circle.”

"But our stuff is good, what's the use of them just banning it like this?" He Lin looked angry.

"It's really useful." Liu Wei showed a helpless expression, "In terms of academics, China is seriously lagging behind. Have you heard of any Chinese journals that have global influence? Have you heard of any high-end global associations? Is it led by Chinese companies?
So in terms of academics, if you want the world to see your strength, you have to use their platforms and journals. Let’s put it another way. For example, what is the most effective way for a star to become a global superstar? ?It's going to Hollywood to be in a good movie.

And an actor who only acts in movies in China, even if he wins domestic awards all over the old dramas, it is almost impossible to become a superstar sought after by the whole world.This is the power of the influence of the platform itself. He is an unchallenged halo when the three words of Hollywood are reported.

Everyone who wins the Nobel Prize will think that they are awesome, but Huaxia also has many awards, and everyone doesn't feel much about it.

It's just that it may be a bit late for them to start academically banning Wood Dragon Technology at this time. "

Liu Wei and Liu Fan looked at each other tacitly, and Liu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "Indeed, Wood Dragon Technology's current global influence has been revealed, but the influence must still exist. Our image in the West is still relatively vague. Not many people really know us.

In fact, I have discussed the issue of academic influence with Teacher Liu several times before, but it has never been put on the agenda because I always feel that the time has not yet come.

In the past, China could not establish academic influence because our own academics were indeed very backward, and our technology companies were also generally backward. If a second- or third-rate technology company in a developing country clamored to establish an association, who would pay attention to you?I am excited to start a journal, but it turns out that I can’t come up with world-leading technology or content that makes researchers willing to stay up late and study hard. Who will read it?

In the past, what we at Mulong Technology could offer were relatively single, and the level of scientific research in China as a whole was low. In addition, we had few allies overseas before, so we were worried that this matter might not be possible. Act hastily.

But I thought about it just now, now that Wood Dragon Technology involves more products and technologies, and China's overall scientific research level has also improved a lot, and because of the relationship between interests, we have some superficial brothers overseas, maybe at this time, It’s an opportunity”

There was silence in the car for a while, and Ji Mushui suddenly laughed heartily, "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Xiaofan, will this old man like me really see that day?"

The corner of Liu Fan's mouth raised, "Grandpa Ji, remember to put on your glasses recently, when the time comes, you have to see clearly."
