It's clearly a lunch break in the office, but you can "go home" through VR helmet and handle to control home appliances in real time; Obviously at home, but you can "cross" to Hawaii and feel the blue sky, the wide sea and the sea breeze.

On October 14, at the innovation center of Shunde Midea and the smart home exhibition area of the 2021 Midea intelligent conference, the on-site audience can experience the above new Internet of things applications and interactive experience through Midea VR yuan home virtual real linkage smart home.

Make users less "tired"
Similar to the previously popular "meta universe", at this year's Midea smart conference, Midea IOT first proposed the concept of "meta home" of "home appliances are computers and equipment are imports". When the home appliance itself can realize higher-level and more complex intelligent interaction functions, users are no longer so "tired" in the control experience.

It is reported that "Yuan home" focuses on deep intelligent product R & D, whole house intelligent scene landing and native intelligent application innovation. Based on basic technologies such as perception, communication, AI, big data and virtual reality, it realizes the twin of digital home and provides a new Internet of things application and interactive experience.

Among them, VR yuan home integrates Midea's product capabilities and cutting-edge technologies, and can provide users with new smart home experience services.

Wear VR helmet to experience the effect before buying home
For example, in the store, let users wear VR helmets to experience various whole house smart home scenarios, which will greatly improve the user experience and store purchase conversion rate. For online channels, it can also support the mapping of real physical devices to panoramic video in Midea Meiju app, applet and other entry-level applications, so that users can easily customize the linkage scene and create an operation experience combining virtual and real for users in combination with AI voice and other technologies.

"In the future, we will also focus on technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence and home appliance somatosensory simulation to build a new home experience with the combination of virtual and real. For example, through the combination of home appliance physical functions and artificial intelligence independent service capabilities, we will simulate experiences in different environments, such as seaside, mountain, dense forest and space. At the same time, combined with VR / AR technology, Create an immersive feeling for users visually, "said Wang Yueming, head of Midea IOT software development.

The number of products cooperated with Huawei is expected to exceed 4 million

Zhang Xiaoyi, vice president and CIO of Midea Group, believes that in the past, the home appliance industry was far from users, but now it can rely on the transformation of software driven hardware and transform the existing value chain and business model to achieve "user direct". Including Midea zhihuijia plans to build 100 benchmark stores for smart life experience offline next year.

In addition to technological innovation and scene research, Midea IOT is fully open to ecological cooperation. Among them, the cooperation between Midea IOT and Huawei Hongmeng has been further deepened this year. So far, Midea Hongmeng products have completed the coverage of 200 + SKUs in the whole category, and more than 4 million units are expected to be put into operation.

In addition, at the press conference, Midea IOT also released a series of scientific and technological innovation achievements such as four Internet of things platforms, a new generation of Midea zhihuijia whole house intelligent solutions, and launched Midea's first grading standard for smart appliances.
