Chapter 796: Start a Livestream
“Hurry up, let’s try them on first!”
Everyone was a bit impatient, eagerly opening the boxes.
The 50 pairs of smart glasses were for trial use at the experience store. After unboxing, they would be placed at the front desk for players to freely reserve and use. However, these glasses could have a certain warning range set. Once the user moved too far from the experience store, the Matrix Glasses would automatically send an alert, so there was no worry about them being lost.
The remaining 50 pairs of smart glasses were kept for a lottery as an internal benefit. Chen Mo planned to have his assistant Lin Xiao use a lottery app in the company’s internal group to draw winners. Those who won could pick up their glasses at the experience store after the Spring Festival holiday ended.
The lottery glasses were stored away for now, and everyone was currently unboxing the ones for the experience store’s trial use.
Jia Peng carefully took a pair of Matrix Glasses out of the box and peeled off the protective film.
“Wow, they look awesome. Even more refined than in the promotional video.”
Jia Peng examined the Matrix Glasses from all angles. The entire design was highly futuristic, with a great feel to the material, and they weren’t heavy at all when worn. The glasses only had a single power button behind the right ear; everything else was controlled by thought.
Jia Peng put the Matrix Glasses on his head.
To accommodate younger users, the glasses had excellent adjustability, allowing the size to be freely modified. Jia Peng felt a bit uncomfortable at first, but after adjusting the size, the Matrix Glasses fit snugly against his head.
The others were also adjusting the size of their Matrix Glasses, putting them on in the most comfortable way.
Li Jingsi said to Chen Mo, “How about starting a livestream or something?”
Chen Mo thought for a moment. “That works. Is Little Fatty on the third floor? Someone go call him down.”
Although it was just a simple unboxing, showing it to the players was still necessary. After all, the Matrix Glasses were still in the market expansion phase. A livestream promotion could help more people make up their minds to buy, which was crucial for the future development of the Matrix Glasses.
The choice of streamer was obvious—Zou Zhuo was right there.
Little Fatty was now a major streamer on the Moyu Livestream platform. Over the past few days, Sister Shuyi had gone home for the New Year, so Little Fatty had completely let loose, claiming he was working hard while actually playing games like crazy…
But that was the beauty of being a streamer—when Little Fatty said he was working hard, no one could really argue…
Before long, Zou Zhuo came downstairs.
“The Matrix Glasses are here? Where, where?”
As soon as Little Fatty saw the two big boxes of smart glasses in the lobby, he perked up and quickly grabbed a new pair from the box, ready to unbox them.
Chen Mo stopped him and handed him a pre-opened pair of Matrix Glasses. “Use these.”
“Why?” Zou Zhuo was a bit confused. He looked at the glasses Chen Mo had handed him. They seemed no different from the others, except the pattern was removed, making them plainer.
Chen Mo said, “This is the developer version. You can use it to start a livestream and show everyone.”
“Huh? It has a livestream function? The consumer version doesn’t, right?” Zou Zhuo was shocked. “So, this thing can do livestreams. Why not sell the version that can livestream?”
Chen Mo chuckled. “Why so many questions? Just start the livestream.”
Zou Zhuo tried to put the Matrix Glasses on his head, but his head was too big, and they wouldn’t fit…
Chen Mo was a bit speechless. “How big is your head? Adjust the size.”
Zou Zhuo adjusted the Matrix Glasses to nearly their maximum size and finally managed to put them on.
With the glasses on, he pressed the power button.
A moment later, a large number of irregular polygons swept across the glasses’ screen. The Matrix Glasses’ camera automatically activated, scanning the scene in front of Zou Zhuo’s field of vision.
A smooth, electronic voice sounded in Zou Zhuo’s ear: “Good afternoon, user. I am your AI assistant, Jarvis. Based on iris detection, you are not Chen Mo. So, who are you? Please bind your Thunder Game account so I can learn your specific information.”
A dialog box appeared at the top of Zou Zhuo’s field of vision, prompting him to enter his Thunder Game account information. After successfully logging in, the entire field of vision changed again, as if most of the glasses’ functions had just been unlocked.
“Hello, Zou Zhuo. You can now connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth… I found 25 apps in your phone’s usage records that support the Matrix Glasses. Should I enable them automatically?”
Zou Zhuo decisively chose “Yes.”
“Syncing now, estimated completion in 2 minutes. Today is Thursday, with 2 days left in the Spring Festival holiday. Current indoor temperature is 20 degrees Celsius, outdoor temperature is minus 5 degrees Celsius. As a streamer, you still have 14.2 hours of streaming time to complete this month. The above is a daily morning report automatically generated based on your Thunder Game account information. You can freely add or remove daily reminders.”
“Please enjoy the revolutionary experience the Matrix Glasses bring you. I am Jarvis, your AI butler, at your service at any time.”
A series of operations left Zou Zhuo a bit stunned.
An AI butler? That was really cool. He had seen Chen Mo use the Matrix Glasses before but didn’t know they had something like this.
Moreover, Jarvis’s voice was very clear, yet it didn’t interfere with Zou Zhuo’s ability to hear real-world sounds. This was because the Matrix Glasses used bone conduction earphones, transmitting sound directly through the bones. Unless the user had special needs, they wouldn’t block out ambient sounds, preventing potential dangers from limited hearing and vision.
Zou Zhuo tried calling out in his mind: “Jarvis?”
“Yes, I’m here. What can I do for you?” Jarvis immediately responded.
Zou Zhuo continued silently: “Help me start a livestream.”
“Detecting that the device you are using is a developer version, authorized through a whitelist. Livestreaming can be enabled. Connecting to the Moyu Livestream platform. Please enter your login information… Done. Say hello to your audience.”
In a very short time, the Matrix Glasses had successfully connected to the Moyu Livestream platform. The view in front of Zou Zhuo’s eyes automatically became the livestream feed, transmitted to his own channel.
The viewers in Zou Zhuo’s livestream room were shocked. They thought Little Fatty had flaked out, but he was starting a livestream again?
Earlier, Zou Zhuo had responded to Chen Mo’s summons, only saying “Something came up” in the livestream before running off, earning a barrage of question marks. The viewers thought he had bailed, but just a few minutes later, the livestream was back on.
And this time, the livestream didn’t show a game screen but Zou Zhuo’s own first-person perspective.
“Huh? What’s with this perspective? Is Little Fatty switching to being an outdoor streamer?”
“Is that a head-mounted camera? Looking at the surroundings… this seems to be Chen Mo’s experience store!”
“No kidding, isn’t that Chen Mo on the left?”
“Wow, it really is Chen Mo! And why are there so many people, each with a pair of Matrix Glasses? Damn… I want to snatch a pair!”
“Time to rob the rich and share the wealth!”
“A massive unboxing review scene? Awesome! So that means Little Fatty is wearing one of these too?”
“But didn’t they say the Matrix Glasses don’t have camera or livestream functions? Shouldn’t he be using some other head-mounted device for the unboxing livestream?”
With Chen Mo appearing on screen, plus the unboxing review of the Matrix Glasses, a huge wave of viewers instantly flooded into Zou Zhuo’s livestream room.
