What exactly is a "metacosm"? What does it have to do with us? Is it the trend of people's future development? Out of a highly responsible attitude towards the fate of mankind, from the perspective of academic research and the perspective of objectivity to deeply analyze the "metacosm", I summarized three levels of perspective so that we can essentially understand what is the "metacosm", what is its relationship with us, and what is its impact on our future, the three different dimensions of perspective are:
From the perspective of industry development, from the essence of industry development, the "metacosm" is actually a "combination" of virtual and reality.
The concept of "combination" is actually the essence of the "metacosm", and the essence of the "combination" was named "metacosm" by Mark Zuckerberg, the initiator of the metacosm concept.
When we understand what the essence of the "metaverse" is, at the cognitive level, we also understand that it is originally a high degree of integration of VR virtual technology and real life.
From the perspective of industry development, the "meta-universe" will be the combination of virtual and reality technology to the height of strategic development, how to understand this strategy, in fact, is the upgrading of Internet technology, and this time the upgrade span is a bit large, scholars in the industry will be this upgrade image summarized as: 1.0 (pc Internet) 2.0 (mobile Internet) 3.0 (vr Internet).
Whether VR virtual reality combined technology can really replace the mobile Internet successfully upgraded to 3.0 Internet, from an academic point of view, do not rule out this possibility, but the time period of successful update, may be very long, the "metaverse" concept initiator Mark Zuckerberg set the goal of successful update for 10-15 years, and promised to make Facebook has now changed its name to meta company into a "metacosm" company within 5 years, Mark Zuckerberg must believe, Some Chinese and foreign Internet giants have also followed up, and what is the essence of this matter, Mark Zuckerberg believes that through technological updates and Internet industry transformation and upgrading, people's current habits of using mobile phones can be changed to the use of VR, or mobile phones and VR are used together, and the change cycle is 10-15 years.
From the perspective of industry development, vr virtual and reality combination (metaverse) will promote the innovation and development of the VR industry and the Internet industry to a certain extent, from the perspective of the "territory" of the metaverse, all industries and individuals related to the Internet may have some kind of association, because the VR virtual and reality combination (metacosm) will move all the existing "Internet business" with human development to the "metacosm" for trial and exploration, and finally build the metacosm into the main body or part of people's lives. Each different civilization may have its own "metacosm", which is the original driving force for China's giants to also begin to invest heavily in the VR industry and emerging visual Internet technology.
From the perspective of science and technology, the combination of VR virtual and reality (metaverse), because all application scenarios are vr glasses as technical carriers, so the existing mobile outdoor network will try to "overall relocation" and develop a lot of previously unparalleled "visual application scenarios", in this development process, some of the original mobile Internet applications of high-tech, such as artificial intelligence, big data processing, intelligent recommendation algorithms, instant messaging, 5G communication, etc. are infinite docking VR, List one of the most likely application scenarios: ar glasses have mobile phone communication, news browsing, watching movies, remote chat, send and receive language emails, and carry out their own work in the (metaverse) world in the ar world (metaverse), if it is a doctor user, he may directly diagnose the disease and remotely direct surgery for patients thousands of miles away in the ar metaverse world, if it is a computer programming engineer, he can register as a "metaversonic architectural engineer" in the metaverse. Become an architect of the metaverse world and sell building skins and virtual building materials for commercial gain, and the profits he obtains are real currency in the real world.
Metaverse is actually a combination of modern technology, the application scenarios are more extensive, may become the basic application of the future, the early stage may be widely used in the field of training, such as training pilots, wearing AR glasses to simulate pilot flight, to help pilots complete simulation training; professional workers can also find the corresponding "job" in the (metaverse) world, and get a realistic income.
Science and technology all the time affect human civilization to continue to move forward, the "metacosm" may not be able to change people's living habits and the original life trajectory in a short period of time, because let modern people give up "mobile phone life" and use VR to replace, in a short period of time is impossible to achieve, it is difficult to change a person's living habits, and the concept of "metacosm" is to change the living habits of the entire human race, it is really difficult for us, but dialectically, it is very possible for us to become a user of the metaverse transition stage in the contemporary world. And our next generation is very likely to become a "metaverse" new human, because there is a scene we can imagine, our next generation from early childhood with VR cognition and learning, whether they will not be as obsessed with mobile phones as we are, for them, VR is all the channels for them to connect with the outside world, then the metacosm is not a part of their lives or even the main body, objectively speaking, it is possible!
What exactly is a "metacosm"? What does it have to do with us? Is it the trend of people's future development? On these issues, we welcome your own views, let's explore the future together, and work together for the future!
