Jiangnan Group's projection technology was quickly rolled out worldwide.
The familiar business model remained: Jiangnan Group provided the technology and key component sales, while global companies paid technology licensing fees and purchased related products.
This sales strategy had been in place for 20 years, and everyone had grown accustomed to it, recognizing it as a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Soon, numerous companies launched products featuring this projection technology in various applications.
Holographic personal terminals were naturally a given. Jiangnan Group's own luxurious collector's edition was the world's first personal terminal to utilize holographic projection technology.
Subsequently, almost all major personal terminal brands globally announced that their next-generation flagship products would incorporate this cutting-edge feature.
For instance, Changhong Television made a decisive move, becoming the first company to release a holographic stereoscopic projection television.
Although this device was functionally unrelated to traditional televisions, it didn't prevent Changhong Group from calling it a TV.
Despite being only a month ahead of competitors, Changhong Group, which was on the brink of collapse, managed a miraculous comeback thanks to this pioneering holographic stereoscopic projection television.
Many cinemas also announced the immediate construction of holographic projection engines. Jiangnan Cinema declared its intention to film ten movies using holographic projection cameras the following year, with all films to have corresponding holographic projection versions within five years.
However, the true fervor surrounding holographic projection technology was not in hardware but in software.
Films created with holographic projection imaging could not be directly produced from traditional film sources; they required specialized shooting systems with over a dozen different camera setups.
But what about watching old films in holographic projection format?
The only solution was specialized conversion software.
This wasn't a mere format conversion; it involved transforming a 2D flat film into a 3D stereoscopic work.
Ordinary movies, for example, were confined to a single plane, showing only what the camera presented. Holographic stereoscopic projection technology, however, displayed the entire subject, allowing viewers to circle around the projected object as if in reality, observing every detail.
However, older films lacked footage from alternative angles. Therefore, no matter how powerful the conversion software, it couldn't generate what wasn't visible.
But intelligent AI could. With the continuous expansion of the AI field and its ever-increasing capabilities, Jiangnan's software development department soon released a holographic projection conversion software. This software could, through AI's intelligent imagination and filling, automatically create 3D object forms based on existing 2D footage and then generate corresponding stereoscopic projection films.
Jiangnan Group uploaded this software online, enabling all users to convert their old movies and videos into 3D stereoscopic projection images.
Naturally, using this software came with a fee. Jiangnan Group explained that the automatic conversion required the use of its most advanced AI for film and television production.
This AI could not be installed on ordinary computers or terminals; it could only be processed by Jiangnan Group's own Super Digital AI Center. Thus, each conversion effectively utilized resources from the Super Digital AI Center, necessitating resource usage fees.
However, the price was very affordable. Excluding professional-grade movies and TV series, charges were based on video size. For every 100 megabytes, a small fee was charged.
This answer, while seemingly good, completely failed to address the question and did not reveal whether Apple's next-generation terminals would feature 3D stereoscopic projection technology.
In fact, Apple didn't need to answer. Relevant professionals quickly provided the answer online.
These individuals stated that Jiangnan Group had explicitly answered at its press conference: 3D stereoscopic projection technology was an extension of the quintinary chip technology. Only the unique computational power of quintinary computer chips could drive the digital computing units within the 3D stereoscopic projection lenses.
In other words, Jiangnan Group's 3D stereoscopic projection technology was exclusively applicable to quintinary chips, meaning chips produced by Jiangnan Group itself. Apple's binary terminal chips were simply incapable.
Of course, if Apple possessed the capability to research and develop its own 3D stereoscopic projection technology, that would be a different matter.
However, professionals noted that Apple had not previously filed patents in this area, meaning that if Apple were to develop the relevant technology, it would take at least another five years.
American citizens were once again "broken through the defense."
Fortunately, some internet trolls actively promoted the idea that the United States was the world's most technologically advanced nation. They claimed that 3D stereoscopic projection technology had appeared countless times in American science fiction movies, implying that the US surely possessed corresponding technological reserves but had previously deemed them impractical.
They asserted that it would not be long before the US released its own products and equipment, boasting superior performance to China's.
Though the logic of having technology in movies equating to having it in reality was questionable, the naive American public was willing to believe it. This belief persisted until they discovered that Apple's new terminal launch event made no mention of the highly anticipated 3D stereoscopic projection technology. Meanwhile, tourists from abroad were already seen using these incredibly cool terminals. At this point, the mindset of the American public began to shift.
