South Korean mobile game company Com2uS previously released a teaser video, claiming to be the first company to achieve "meta-universe work", and currently only shows the scene of the office part. After logging in to the account, from entering the office building, to the internal environment and workstation of the building, you can enter the worker mode from the perspective of the first-person game.
In addition to a series of basic office functions of the workstation workbench, it is also equipped with virtual bonsai plants and other small functions. The space is free to move, and colleagues can have real voice interactions from the perspective of the character, including multiple people or large meetings.
The company plans to achieve meta-universe office with 2500 employees across the company in the second half of 2022, and although it is very immature, the whole experience will certainly have many problems. For example, the modeling is ugly, too much gamification of the operation, vertigo, with real video, etc., resulting in a sense of substitution is not strong at all.
But under the grand concept of the metaverse, the current practical application technology is also like this, which is far from the visual performance in the science fiction scene, and this gap has also led many people to feel that the metaverse is not realistic.
In any case, in addition to Com2uS, there are also a number of companies at home and abroad to follow, I believe that in the future, some companies and jobs can fully achieve work from home with a more realistic on-site experience. Coupled with the normalization of the epidemic environment, home office and online education are currently relatively needed application areas, and we can believe that some areas will make great progress in the next few years.
In addition to the meta-universe office, there are also meta-universe shopping, meta-universe tourism, who does not look forward to it?
