What is the Metaverse? Metaverse is just an online game?

Many people think that the Metaverse is not an online game? In fact, in terms of product form, online games can be said to be the initial form of the Metaverse, because online games cover almost all the technical elements of the Metaverse, but online games do not possess the key features of the Metaverse.

It is generally believed that the virtual world oasis among the movie's number one players is the closest to the metaverse. In 2045, most parts of the earth have become slums. In order to escape from reality, people spend most of their time in a virtual reality game called Oasis, where they work, play, and hunt for Easter eggs, which are created by Oasis. The founder hides in the game. The person who finds the easter egg will be able to obtain the management right of the oasis and huge bonuses, so many people are desperately looking for the easter egg in the game, including the opponent field of the oasis, but the oasis is an uncompromising centralized world, That's why everyone will go all out to grab Easter eggs and compete for the management right of the oasis. Whoever grabs the management right will become the god of the oasis.

Then let's take a look at what is Roblox in the first country of the Metaverse? Roblox is simply a game creation and trading platform. Players can either play games created by others on it, or create their own games for others to play and charge a certain fee. In addition to gamers, players can also create, buy and sell virtual items on Roblox, such as clothing, props, gear, and more. A game currency called Roblox is used for transactions on Roblox. It seems that other online games also have it, but the most powerful thing is this game currency, which can be exchanged for currency in the real world, which attracts more and more creativity. Authors produce content on Roblox.

At present, almost 7 million game developers have created about 18 million games. With more and more content, it will naturally attract more and more players. This means that Roblox is not a game, but a game. The world, and sandbox games like "Minecraft" are just a reason for the game, except that there is no easter egg Roblox is almost exactly the same as the oasis among the top players, but although it has an interface with reality economically, but He still focuses on games, and is far from fully simulating the real life of human beings. Also, like Oasis, it does not have the attributes of decentralization, so Roblox can only be said to be a prototype of the metaverse at best. Many products called the metaverse actually only have one or two characteristics of the metaverse. That's all, some are not even a prototype, so where is the most difficult part of realizing the ideal metaverse?

Although Metaverse has designed a lot of technologies, such as AR, VR, 5G, Internet of Things, cloud computing, AI, etc., its real difficulty lies in decentralization, or having an open interface that allows each universe interconnection. From the current point of view, those who have the ability to create the metaverse are those tech giants. Assuming that Facebook has a metaverse, Goose Factory has a metaverse, and Apple has a metaverse, it is a key question whether these metaverses can communicate with each other. In fact, from the above analysis, the term metaverse is a bit vague. Bigger, but Ma Huateng's concept of the true Internet is more appropriate, that is, a comprehensive and real digital world based on the Internet, which is actually similar to the concept of digital twins in the industrial world. The production line, industrial equipment, etc., are completely virtualized in the computer as an identical set, so it is also called a digital twin.

The state of a virtual device is completely derived from the sensor data of the device in the real world, so the virtual device and the real device have exactly the same behavior pattern, what is the benefit? If the factory wants to improve the production line, it only needs to modify it in the virtual environment, and you can see the actual effect after the change, so that it can be fully tested in the virtual environment, and then go to the real world to make actual changes.
