Like the early self-driving technology, the metacosm has experienced "blind applause" or "infinite singing", which has also caused the fanaticism of capital and the bubble of public opinion. With the recent competition between technology giants at home and abroad to lay out the meta-universe, this technical concept is further understood by people under different interpretations.
5G/6G network architecture, chip design, AI empowerment centers, industrial Internet platforms, blockchain engines, game engines and other infrastructure have become the focus areas of people's development of metaversms; applications such as game social, digital virtual people, and digital factories have burst out of high economic creation potential.
In the past 2021 year:
In March, game company Roblox was officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange, becoming the first stock of the meta-universe concept;
In April, gaming company Epic Games announced that it would raise $1 billion to invest in its Meta-Universe project;
In May, Microsoft announced that it was working to create an "enterprise metacosm";
In August, ByteDance acquired domestic VR hardware startup Pico;
In October, Facebook officially changed its name to Meta Attack Meta Universe;
In November, Huawei released the AR interactive experience App "Starlight Tower" to power the meta-universe industry chain;
In December, Baidu Meta-Universe product "Xi'an" officially opened for directional internal testing.
He Baohong, director of the Institute of Cloud Computing and Big Data of the Chinese Academy of Information and Communications Technology, once mentioned, "The metacosm itself is not a technology, but a concept, which needs to integrate different new technologies, such as 5G, 6G, artificial intelligence, big data, etc., and emphasizes the integration of virtual and real." There are a thousand metaversities in the eyes of a thousand people, and its conceptual connotation will become richer and clearer with the development of different technologies and the integration of each other. In the coming year, what opportunities and challenges will the metaverse face?
At 7:00 p.m. on January 27, 2022, at the Heart of Machines year, the "Meta-Universe Special Session" of "Ai Technology Driving the Future - 2021-2022 AI Technology Trend Insights" was specially planned, Zhang Xingchen, Managing Director of Source Code Capital Investment, Shang Deming, Co-Head of AIoT Business Line of Anmou Technology, Wu Di, Founder of Shadow Technology and Student Leader of MARS Lab of ShanghaiTech University, and Daily Arxiv, Research Scientist of Autodesk AI Lab Radiostation host Chu Hang, associate professor of East China Normal University, CCF YOCSEF Shanghai AC committee member Li Yang five guests will be the heart of the machine "2021-2022 ANNUAL AI Technology Trend Insights" live broadcast room, respectively through the "virtual world of AI", "meta-universe terminal chip demand and ecology discussion", "meta-universe virtual digital human construction and future identity system" and other topics to share the latest progress and thinking of the meta-universe, together on "technology breakthrough? Talk about the opportunities and challenges of technology flow practice under the great wave of the meta-universe" and other topics.
