Chapter 1207: Chapter 584: 3D Live Holographic Projection Game_3
After the KJ-01 device hit the market, sales can be described as extremely explosive.
Compared to devices like smartphones and computers, the KJ-01’s pricing is a bit high, but in reality, compared to a new technology, specifically Spatial Technology, the pricing can be said to be very "affordable."
Space Information Technology Company released the product with the goal of hoping the device would become more widespread, not to "shear the leeks" of domestic manufacturers and the public with a brand-new tech product.
That would be meaningless.
If the KJ-01 could become widespread in the country, then subsequent models like the KJ-02 and KJ-03 would quickly amass a large number of orders, ensuring that Spatial Link Technology products at least penetrated the domestic market.
The KJ-01 was priced affordably, so naturally, the sales volume was also high. Soon after its release, it rapidly became the hottest product on the market; within just one week, the entire stockpile of a million units sold out, and the subsequent production couldn’t keep up with sales. Orders on some online platforms were delayed for delivery by a month.
Actually, this was somewhat unexpected.
Space Technology Company’s initial consideration for pricing was the hope that some sectors like shipping, mining, or other related small businesses could afford the Spatial Link device.
If the pricing were too exorbitant, say, several hundred thousand per unit, most businesses wouldn’t opt to purchase immediately, since the cost-effectiveness would simply be too low.
Even if interested in the latest technology, cost-effectiveness would definitely be a consideration—using it solely for communication, there was no need to spend so much money.
Later, when selling internationally, the pricing could be set a bit higher.
As long as the devices could be sold in massive quantities and used by more individuals and businesses, the company would stand at the pinnacle; all future standards would be dictated by the company.
This positioned them at the very top of the supply chain, confident to expand.
But perhaps the KJ-01 was priced too affordably, as many individual customers placed orders, outnumbering businesses by several times.
Zhao Yi, aware of the sales situation, said on the program, "This shows that the standard of living has truly improved, and many people are quite wealthy."
The KJ-01 was definitely a toy for the rich.
Though the KJ-01 was not priced highly, considering its performance—being fixed to dock with only one device and having a somewhat complex "IP" adjustment process—it meant that most businesses and individuals buying a KJ-01 would typically purchase two units.
A price of thirty-eight thousand wasn’t too high, but buying two units in one go would come to seventy-six thousand.
This price point would make even those who could afford it seriously consider the purchase, because, after all, the KJ-01 was still an electronic product.
What depreciates the fastest?
Electronic products!
As time progresses and technology advances, electronic products evolve rapidly. Space Information Technology had only been established for a few months before releasing their first product.
So, how far away was the second product?
Now, during an interview segment with Capital TV Station, the host asked this question, "Academician Zhao, could you talk about Space Information Technology’s plans for their next product?"
"Like, approximately when will the second product come out, and what new functions might it include?"
Zhao Yi pondered for a moment and said, "I personally estimate... maybe in a year, but it’s not certain."
"Spatial Link Technology will be applied very extensively in the future, but making another technological breakthrough won’t be easy. We can only start from manufacturing or equip the device with some electronic features. The next generation product will definitely have more comprehensive functions, and at the same time, we’ll produce some devices with targeted applications."
"For example, some businesses would definitely hope for one-to-many technology in devices to achieve something akin to ’network’ connectivity."
"We would need to develop higher-performing products for these businesses to attain these functionalities and leverage them to develop other applications."
"Additionally, we are currently using electronic voice technology for audio transmission effects, which we plan to research further to make more comprehensive."
"And so on."
"There are many aspects that can be improved, just like the development of mobile phones." frёewebnoѵēl.com
"I believe in the not-too-distant future, Spatial Link Technology will be applied in all aspects of life. To give a simple example..."
Zhao Yi said with a smile, "I’ve loved playing games since I was a kid, and I’ve always wondered if there could be a game in the future that would let me truly immerse myself? Holding a weapon in my hands, actually entering the game map to fight monsters... to level up..."
"That would be a 3D real-life holographic projection game, and it would definitely be very interesting."
"Spatial Link Technology could achieve this, but it would require the participation of many businesses to engage in research and exploration..."
