After veteran mobile phone giant Motorola was silent for a long time, it unexpectedly brought a surprise. At the APCO conference for the public safety communications industry, Motorola Solutions announced a virtual reality device. Judging from the information we have obtained, this VR headline has mainly played the role of criminal investigation and policing.
The core technology of Motorola's VR headset is derived from the start-up company Eyefluence. They try to let law enforcement personnel identify the criminals in the crowd through drones and preset monitoring devices. Motorola CTO Paul Steinberg said that because the immersive experience of VR devices may undermine the efficiency of police officers handling the case, this device is different from traditional VR glasses.
Lan Ting, Motorola's director of design, disclosed relevant VR system functions, including accurate identification and true reproduction of personnel positions, perception of empathy, and enhanced efficiency of interaction between police officers. He believes that the value of crime information in the form of video Must be much larger than photos and text.
Motorola has not been very good since the sale of its cellular infrastructure business in 2010. It first split the company and was later resold by Google and Lenovo. However, as a product line company, Motorola's solution has always existed independently. With the fiery reality, they may want to give birth at the B end where the competitive pressure is relatively small.
In fact, Motorola-funded Eyefluence is focusing on eye tracking. It is not impossible for Motorola to add this feature to subsequent virtual reality devices.
