1699 Buy a table lamp?Is SenseTime an intelligent upgrade or an IQ tax?
Breakfast Jun learned that on January 3, SenseTime released its first smart table lamp product, Yuan Radish Light Wing Lamp, priced at 1699 yuan. Propaganda is a mess: the main body of the lamp adopts a streamlined water drop design, equipped with two foldable "light wings", using ABS shell + metal skeleton material, and equipped with a 105° adjustable dual-axis bracket. It can fully simulate the effect of natural sunlight, and has AI full-scene capabilities, supporting AI automatic dimming, intelligent seat sensing, App and button control, AI correct sitting posture, AI voice reminder, AI companion reading, AI spotlight, AI light moving with the book, etc.
Putting aside these fancy publicity, from the product point of view, 1699 is to buy a desk lamp, and SenseTime is to create a product with intelligent consumption upgrades, with AI functions. Whether it's a gimmick or a real awesome, Breakfast Jun believes that this may be SenseTime's most potential product in recent years, and it also shows that SenseTime has finally figured out how to do AI after so many years of tossing and turning (don't think crooked, AI means artificial intelligence).
Over the years, SenseTime has been coaxing the aura of an Asian AI coaxing software company, but the actual products are not familiar to the public, because most of the products served by SenseTime are enterprise customers and TO B services. The products are also visual recognition (face recognition, camera), and there is no big distinction. But this table lamp marks the beginning of SenseTime's transformation into the consumer market, and it can be regarded as really figured out.
The B-end market is all about writing old color batches, all of them are slippery, relying on the rich and powerful, and you can't make a few dollars with a single list. In the C-end consumer market, it is different, the product is done well, and the name is profitable. Just look at Apple, instead of guarding the B-side, it is better to turn to the C-side, and SenseTime has made the right move.
So what is this smart desk lamp? The author thinks it is a good intelligent application product for consumption upgrades.
This table lamp is supposed to be a collection of SenseTime's technology over the years, with the camera tracking the position of the human body and sitting, and the light sensor adjusting the light to simulate sunlight. These are all very useful features. The market pain points of this product are also relatively accurate, and now many children Xi study for a long time at night, and they are prone to eye fatigue under the lamp. If there is simulated sunlight and can be adjusted, it can prevent eye fatigue and myopia. Although the price of 1699 is not low, at least the market point is still good.
For enterprise innovation, the author is still very supportive, and whether this product can carry the C-end mission of SenseTime's transformation in the future depends on the use of functions and consumers' willingness to bear it. For this veteran AI company, this product is worth looking forward to.
