The physical doll industry in the 5G era, boldly guessing what changes will occur
5G has always been a hot topic in the field of technology, and many countries hope to be one or two steps ahead. This is mainly because 5G is not only an acceleration of communication speed, but also the beginning of the era of the Internet of Things.So, what changes will 5G bring to the physical doll industry? In fact, many physical doll manufacturers have already collaborated with technical experts and companies in this field. It can be believed that exciting developments will be seen in the near future. Here are some changes that the editor can imagine:
Application of Sensor Technology
Imagine when you play with a doll and touch its face, hands, and feet, the doll will make corresponding sounds, expressions, and tone of voice will change accordingly, and the body will respond. By using sensors, all of this is feasible. There are some simple applications on some physical dolls now. When you interact with them, they will talk to you, swing their limbs, and make corresponding coordinated movements.
Sensors can detect changes in temperature, friction, humidity, and pressure, and then instruct dolls with artificial intelligence capabilities to respond in a specific way.
AR
Some online shopping malls allow users to use cosmetics, clothing, and even new hairstyles through applications (apps) and augmented reality technology (AR). Now imagine doing something similar to buying physical dolls. People who already own physical dolls can use an app to dress up their dolls in various styles, and then observe in real-time through AR in the room. It's such a wonderful thing.
3D modeling and mobile interaction
Now we can easily purchase physical dolls on Taobao, JD.com, Tmall, and even various website platforms with just a tap on our phones. Soon, we can use the app to build our ideal physical doll on the mobile end. Buyers can choose the doll's face shape, body shape, height, hairstyle, hair color, skin tone, and eye color, and then they can see the 3D rendered effect on the screen and optimize it deeply.
Mobile integration will also go far beyond the existing shopping experience, and now there are smart furniture and other things that can be controlled by mobile phones, which means we can experience the same things as our partners hundreds of kilometers away. Imagine, when your significant other controls what the doll says, how it moves, and the temperature and intensity of any movement they can feel, and can even use a physical doll to transmit their voice. Isn't that equivalent to having your significant other right next to you at this moment?
So far, all the changes here are aimed at improving the playability of physical dolls. So what changes do you think the 5G era will bring to the physical doll industry?
