At this time, you are sitting at your desk at home as usual, you find that there is a "Xiaoming wearing flames" from South America, on his left hand side is "20 meters high Xiao Gang", and many other strange people, even a "kitten A Green" floating next to the table is also participating in your meeting, you can clearly see "Kitten A Green" and Zhang San whispered something; the voice did not fall and instantly came to Paris, France....
boom!!! It's not a movie or science fiction, it's real life that we're about to realize in the future. It is a concept that we have recently been particularly popular with, "metacosm".
Hello everyone I am a leather egg, if you are the first time to see my article, please pay attention to me! Professional interpretation, every night at 9:15 boo ... Fortune is good
What is the metacosm?
First of all, the metacosm is not simply equivalent to video games, nor can it be equated with virtual worlds, it is creative play, open exploration, and it is connected with reality. Simply put, it is to build a virtual 3D space parallel to reality. You can work, shop, party, exercise, and so on in this created virtual space. In this space, our sense of experience can be perfectly expressed in the real world. You don't just sit next to a computer and watch, you're in it, a scenario we call metaverse.
What are the key features of the metaverse?
1 Identity - People create a virtual appearance they like in the virtual world;
2 Friends - Gather in the virtual world to socialize with acquaintances or netizens;
3 Sense of Immersion - Using VR/AR devices to enhance the feeling of being in it;
4 Anywhere - no restrictions on location can cross the breakthrough physical space at any time;
5 Economic Systems - In the virtual world, virtual currency can be exchanged with real money
Finally, the content rich to a certain scale of the virtual world will evolve into a civilized society and so on. It is feasible to share with you at the beginning of the article that the imaginary situation is feasible, and technology provides the basic story in it. To be completely immersed visually, according to the research of AMD Semiconductor in the United States, when the VR device reaches the resolution of the human eye at 16k, it can achieve full immersion with the naked eye and no grain. That is to say, at this time, you can feel in the metaverse exactly like the real society.
Why focus on the metaverse?
What does this have to do with each of us as ordinary people? First of all, we are not far from the metaverse, many of us now are also switching back and forth between the real and virtual worlds, work, shopping and making money are also done in virtual scenes such as computers and mobile phones, and return to the real society when eating and sleeping. Now there is a prototype of such a virtual world, and the virtual world established in the future is more experienced and realistic. Secondly, since the outbreak of COVID-19 has changed the way we work, more and more people have become accustomed to working remotely on the home internet. In the past, it was in the field of games, and this time Facebook's future landing scene first proposed in the work scenario, when you have 8 hours of work a day in the metaverse, after work we also have to shop, travel and so on A series of functions can be completed in it. In the end, the metacosm greatly enriches our spiritual life, because the metaverse is also expressed in a variety of forms, such as working in the same scene as people around the world, traveling to 50 countries in a day, etc. Can be reshaped in digital form with computer language, which can be realized in Yuanyu. In the future, we will all participate in such a creative economy and experience the world more abundantly.
Why do we have to go to the metaverse when we live in a real society?
Due to the physical barriers that are difficult to break through in reality, there are many hard conditions in life that are difficult to change, such as height, appearance, gender, etc. In the metaverse, we can re-exert our creativity and re-express ourselves. Even if you are a big tree in the metaverse, a cloud is OK. In today's rapid development of science and technology, the meta-universe will also gradually penetrate into various scenes of our lives, just as you now pick up your mobile phone to send money to friends, you enter the restaurant to pay with a QR code, chat with friends on video, watch a movie or play a game is a normal thing. And a dozen years ago, the most advanced game on our mobile phones was probably nothing more than a snake.
The metaverse will become a high-latitude transition that you can't stop. On December 1, Facebook founder Zuckerberg officially renamed the company MVRS and officially entered the meta-universe. As early as 2014, Facebook acquired the virtual reality company Oculus for a high price of $2 billion, and at present, one-sixth of Facebook's entire company's manpower is invested in AR/VR business, has entered the experience layer and human-computer interaction layer, and has launched the VR social platform Horizon. On November 3, 2021, the Government of the South Korean Capital City announced that it will build a "meta-universe platform" to provide public services to citizens. Looking at China, Tencent Technology applied for registration of "King Yuan Universe" and "Tian dollar universe"; ByteDance intends to invest about US$1.5 billion (equivalent to 9.7 billion yuan) to acquire Pico VR, which will be merged into ByteDance's VR-related business; Huawei's technological breakthrough in the AR/VR field accelerates the immersive experience, providing a platform HUAWEI VR for VR content developers. In December 2021, Baidu Create AI met with developers and netizens. The 2021 Create Conference will be held in Metaverse. Major technology giants are scrambling to start layouts in this field, which fully demonstrates the importance attached to this feast. A year ago, Tencent founder Ma Huateng said that with the promotion of VR and other technologies, new hardware and software in various different scenarios, I believe that another big wash is about to begin, just like the transformation of mobile Internet, people who can't get on the ship will be left behind.
If you think it's good, remember to like it, the original is not easy for you to support!
Finally, what investment opportunities will there be in the metacosm?
First of all, the metaverse needs the underlying six major technical supports: blockchain, Internet of Things, network and computing, artificial intelligence, video game technology, interactive technology (including VR virtual reality, AR augmented reality, MR mixed reality, etc.) The underlying technology is VR/AR virtual reality and augmented reality. Cloud computing is key in client-side VR/AR and is the gateway to the metaverse. There is also a particularly important technology is the NFT, this time will not be repeated, interested friends can share with you next time.
Roblox, the world's leading game UGC platform, was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in March 2021, up 54.4% on its first day of listing and ten times its one-year valuation. After setting off a "meta-universe" boom. For A shares, everything can be meta-universe, listed companies can rub hot spots, which is a bit scary, but the more popular in A shares, Qingbao, has also doubled nearly 4 times, and the related business is engaged in online game research and development and operation, increasing 5G cloud game technology and VR/AR virtual and reality technology investment. Tom Cat has set up a special group in the direction of the meta-universe; Shunwang Technology uses its advantages in technology and innovation to empower new industries and markets (including but not limited to rendering, games, real-life three-dimensional, design, digital twins, meta-universe), etc.; is it true value or a hot spot? It remains to be observed.
Since there are not many examples of what we now call metacosms that can affect our daily lives, and our current habits have not merged or accepted this new technology, the metacosm is still a preliminary concept. However, in today's rapid development of the Internet, the original computer form is also the same as our calculator to calculate the value, evolved to be able to type later have a mobile phone with camera function, the network is more visual, and now the video has become the main channel for us to produce content. It's been a few short decades, and the metaverse of the future is as exciting as the phone we took a phone to understand today's mobile phone more than a decade ago.
There are also critics who are very worried that "the metacosm will eventually reduce our real life to a place to eat and sleep." "Then you think about whether it is possible that we are real now when we sleep every night, and we will feel so real when we dream.... In fact, we are already in the metaverse, and we are now going to enter the metaverse in the metacosm...
