The HoloLens created by Microsoft is currently the only mixed-use real-world headphone that has been put into commercial use. This revolutionary device has attracted much attention since its inception. More and more companies are engaged in the development of mixed reality (MR) applications. However, due to the expensive equipment and high difficulty of development, most of the current applications are experimental demos. Only such a company can almost see its presence in all kinds of mixed-reality exchange activities organized by Microsoft. The products they created have also appeared on Hunan Satellite TV's TV program, allowing viewers in front of the TV to feel it too. The miracle of mixed reality technology is that this is DataMesh consultation technology of the special interview of VR network “VR 100â€.
Microsoft HoloLens
At the VRSD 2017 Beijing International Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Expo held recently at the Beijing International Creative Exhibition Center in Beijing, the editor of the VR network (WeChat public number: VR platform) made an exclusive interview with CTO, the CTO of Commerce Technology, at the VRSD Expo site. . From the conversation with Hao Hao, we not only learned about the main products and technological advantages of the consultation technology, but also had a firm confidence in the prospects for the development of mixed reality technology.
Consulting Technology CTO Hao Hao
As a veteran who has been in the game industry for 16 years, Hao Hao believes that the biggest problem in the field of mixed reality is the lack of content, and the hardware aspects of mixed reality devices are not enough concerns. After all, the iterative upgrade of hardware is unstoppable. However, only sufficient content is filled with the "flesh" of MR technology. It is precisely for this reason that Infotech is struggling to simplify MR content development, optimize MR content presentation and practical application of MR+ big data.
Main mixed-use development "middleware" Simplify development and reduce costs
According to Hao Hao, as the first company to get HoloLens in March 2016, DataMesh consulted with technology and was the first Microsoft partner to try to develop a mixture of real-world content development. It has profoundly realized the difficulty of development. Because of this, 20 months later, content based on mixed reality is still extremely lacking. After stepping through many pits, the consultation technology has produced a deep sense of mission: we believe that mixed reality is the future of mankind, but how can we quickly popularize this technology so that the future will come soon? After cultivating it for more than a year, we will consult the technology industry. In May 2017, we launched the "MeshExpert" development platform for the world.
Hao Hao said: "Our flagship product is positioned as middleware, and we hope that more people will use this product to facilitate content. In the early days of mixed reality technology, I think that if we want to increase the popularity, we must lower the threshold. It is our goal to lower the difficulty of development so that everyone can come in."
Microsoft HoloLens Application Demo
It is based on this consideration that developers using MeshExpert for development can greatly reduce the difficulty of content development, and can directly use traditional 3D development ideas to make MR content. In addition to the materials that need to be produced by themselves, the UI and some basic Features are included in the development tools. For MR application developers, they only need to focus on creativity. Using the basic art resources and content creation ideas provided by MeshExpert, you can quickly and easily edit mixed reality scenes to form MR content.
"Using our MeshExpert, you don't need to worry about what technology MR is. How it's located there and how it's adjusted. We've all packaged it up and we can actually make an app release." Hao Hao described to us this way. . According to VR network editors, this can greatly reduce the difficulty of developing mixed-use real-world content, reduce development time, and further reduce development costs. This undoubtedly can greatly promote the popularization of MR technology and applications. In addition, these applications can also be seamlessly migrated to Microsoft's MR head-ups with Samsung, Lenovo, HP, and other manufacturers. The popularity of these new devices is also of great benefit.
Cooperation with CCTV and Hunan Satellite TV to Realize HoloLens Third Party Perspective
The use of MeshExpert can help developers develop a large amount of MR content. However, due to technical and equipment limitations, the display effect of AR/MR devices can only be seen by the experiencer. For this pain point, Infotech also created a third-party perspective recording/livecasting function for mixed reality, which is a sub-product of middleware called MeshExpert Live!, which can be compared with Microsoft's own Spectator View solution. Realize broadcast-level recording/live broadcasting.
Microsoft Spectator View
"Microsoft's open-source Spectator View is a relatively crude solution. Although it can be seen by people who do not wear the device, its cost and development difficulty determine its business prospect is uncertain. Our solution can use lightweight The equipment is set up quickly in 20 minutes, and the third-party perspective of mixed reality can be captured with a simple operation method, which can be broadcast live broadcasting level.†Hao Hao said. According to the VR network (WeChat public number: VR platform), in September of this year, Hunan TV's broadcast “I am the Future†shows the magical charm of this program. When the staff opened HoloLens, the entire stage was surrounded by the solar system. Through gestures, one of the planets could be zoomed and operated.
"I am the Future" program broadcast effect
In this program, Hunan Satellite TV uses a fixed seat to take a panoramic view of the scene in the center of the stage. Two mobile stations are responsible for the shooting of the part of the stage screen and close-up and close-up shots. The effect of the final presentation is amazing, but this is not post-production, but recorded on the spot. This practice represents the secondary development of consultation through science and technology. Mixed reality photography has been able to bid farewell to the green screen and professional studios, greatly reducing the time and cost of film and television production.

Hao Hao also revealed: "Live! As the first product introduced in the MeshExpert series, it was originally intended to provide convenience for everyone. Without headband display, it can also interact with large screens and operators. I did not expect products to be launched in the field of film and television production after launch. It is very popular, major TV stations, program production teams, advertising producers, and even Hollywood photographers and producers have come to us and forced us to continue to add professional features to our products, and we have been rapidly iterating. The Live! kit is coming soon."
Mixed reality + data collaboration for traditional enterprise upgrade data services
In addition to the use of mixed reality content development and display, Infotech has applied mixed reality technology to this seemingly mysterious field of big data.
Hao Hao said: “We have our own big data platform that can communicate with MR technology. At this time, we can use big data to process some of the back-end data of some companies, such as maintenance records, knowledge bases, etc. In the cleaning of data After finishing and finishing, it was sent to the front of MR equipment. The front-end MR equipment is a virtual assistant on the one hand, which helps the maintenance workers to solve these problems. On the other hand, it is also a collector, which can see what the maintenance workers see. Return this maintenance record to big data again."

Hao Hao believes that big data must be used for practical purposes. If only data reports are given, it is of no practical significance. What the consultation technology needs to do is to allow big data to directly guide production. Hao Hao to the automotive manufacturing industry as an example, to the VR network editor to explain the real case of big data and mixed reality technology.
A veteran multinational car company has a lot of data accumulation, but it is very cluttered and unorganized. It even includes some paper data, and its internal search function is not available. In order to solve this problem, Infotech firstly involved experts in big data to intelligently clean the data and create a knowledge base, then connect the MR equipment to the front end. In the actual work process, there is no guarantee that every first-line assembly worker will have a sufficiently high professional level. By using HoloLens, there will be virtual assistants in the work process, such as what the workers see, which can help summarize and extract Problems that may be encountered and processing methods are displayed on the site to the workers using mixed reality technology, and the results of this maintenance will be fed back to the knowledge base. Even cameras such as HoloLens and experts can be connected to provide remote assistance.

“This is the pain point for companies. They really want this kind of thing. All we do is to use big data + MR to solve the needs of the company in the actual production process. We try to open up big data with HoloLens. The final maintenance worker actually operates the process, said Hao Hao.
Effectively solve the actual problem MR technology will first burst at the B-side
At the end of this exclusive interview, VR Net (WeChat public number: VR platform) editor asked Han Hao's opinion on the development prospects of mixed reality technology. In his opinion, VR has a narrower development path than MR. VR is an immersive experience, but immersion often brings a strong feeling of loneliness. This sense of loneliness leads to the use of VR only in a 100% immersive environment. And when it is necessary to solve practical problems in work, it is more suitable to use MR technology.

“So I am more optimistic about the development of MR technology, and especially at the B-end, MR's imagination will be much more space. At present, MR technology will not have rapid development on the C-end, after all, the current mixed reality device is too heavy And expensive, is not suitable for promotion at the C-side. I think MR is bound to erupt at the B-side, because MR is a technology that can really change your production mode, change your way of working.†Hao Hao believes.
“The greatest significance of HoloLens is that it allows us to see what it will look like in a decade, although in a short period of time, we do not expect to spread HoloLens to millions of households, but we can now make big directions and wait until When our new equipment arrives, our road has been paved. This is our view and what we are doing now."
