On December 16, Luo Yonghao, the chief recommendation officer of the live broadcast room of "Make a Friend", posted on Weibo that he would once again start a high-tech business. When interacting with netizens, he revealed that after returning to the technology industry, he will be involved in VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality), MR (mixed reality) fields.
It is understood that before the sale of the hammer technology mobile phone business, Mr. Luo had secretly created a VR team, but the follow-up results are unknown.
In 2017, Luo Yonghao publicly stated: "If there is no accident on the next platform, it must be glasses, VR glasses." At the same time, he stressed that he wanted to "make the biggest computing platform" and that hammer "must make this piece of work."
In the Refild 2020 activities in Geek Park and Station B, Luo Yonghao also said that it is very likely that the future re-making products may be AR, but it cannot be guaranteed.
If combined with the above historical background, the outside world will most likely guess that Luo Yonghao's next venture will still not be too "reliable". However, as an English teacher from a non-science class, it is a miracle in itself to step by step from the classroom to the height of an entrepreneur, and after experiencing many storms, who can be sure that he will not succeed once?
What's more, the tide in the field of XR has been set off, and the outlet in the next few years will gradually become clear. In our opinion, Mr. Luo's entrepreneurship in the XR field will probably have these possibilities:

It must have something to do with the metacosm
As we all know, the term metaverse will be a big hit in the second half of 2021, and many related and even unrelated industries and companies have said that they want to set foot in this field.
In this context, with his super popularity, alternative craftsman style, and the network resources accumulated in the digital technology circle, If you don't do something under the trend of the meta-universe, it may be difficult for anyone to believe.
In addition, in fact, he also talked about the metaverse on November 5: "Many things to be done in the future in the technology industry will inevitably go to the metacosm, whether you like it or not." From this point of view, our next entrepreneurial project turned out to be a so-called 'meta-universe company'..."

It may be possible to create a thin and light headset
Although the "hammer" mobile phone was acquired, Mr. Keluo and the related team are not "hammers" - their talents and professionalism are talked about by "hammer fans" throughout China. And all this also determines to a certain extent that Luo Yonghao will make a comeback in the field of digital hardware, and the lessons of the last failure may be transformed into a thrust to accelerate progress.
In addition, the "metaverse" we are exploring requires not only strong hardware support, but also a very comfortable wearing experience. Strictly speaking, most of the products currently on the market cannot meet these two requirements. For all this, Mr. Luo must know it, so he who likes to "sword to go sideways" may not continue the old road of existing manufacturers, that is, launch a traditional appearance of the all-in-one machine headset, but directly bypass the initial stage, and fully develop thin, practical and fashionable elements of light and thin entertainment headsets, glasses.

It is possible to create a "metaverse" platform
The "metaverse" platform referred to here may be significantly different from all current products. If you combine the content of Mr. Luo's Weibo, frequent appearance on the talk show platform after leaving the hammer, as well as the entrepreneurial experience of Niu Bo Network before, as well as the public statement to Clubhouse, we think that he may launch a "communication platform" in a virtual environment before building a hardware system.
You know, the public opinion environment of the Chinese Internet is very different from the era of "Niu Bo Network", when many "taboo" and "sensitive" topics are becoming more and more common, and Luo Yonghao's (hu) person (you) charm (neng) power (li) can also get more room to play, such a blockbuster sentence as "make a friend" will definitely run through its entire ecology from the beginning.

Final conclusion
Of course, the above is just our guess. As for what one of China's most popular Internet celebrities is going to do, it still needs reality to bring us the answer.
However, no matter how wonderful and interesting the future will be, Teacher Luo must first pay off the debt of 600 million yuan. According to him, around next spring (March to May), Hammer Technology's debts will be completely repaid. On the day of paying off all the debts, Luo Yonghao will immediately return to the science and technology circle and return to the sight of "hammer powder" and "Luo powder".
