The city closest to the Metaverse——Shenzhen

The first city in the world to announce its entry into the Metaverse was born, the capital of South Korea, Seoul. Seoul plans to install a series of sensors and base stations to collect data and use AI to monitor sewers and sewage systems. However, these ideas of Seoul have already become a reality in Shenzhen, China, that is, the underground pipe network inspection system of Shenzhen Longhua. It uses AR technology to generate a three-dimensional real scene of the underground pipe network on the spot, and the topology relationship of the surrounding pipe network is clear at a glance. Personnel can directly see the information of damage and aging. This is a sand table deduction of waterlogging risk, which truly simulates the distribution area, spreading process, and inundation degree of waterlogging.

In Shenzhen, there are also 202 large and small waterlogging monitoring stations, 21 automatic water level detection devices in key flood control locations, 380 stations, and 1,024 subway exits are equipped with front-end sensing facilities. The neurons of the city constitute the reflex arc of Shenzhen Smart Water, which can respond quickly and intelligently to waterlogging disasters. Shenzhen's waterlogging prevention plan relies on science, not brainstorming. This is the urban sewer project in the intelligent era. See Invisibility can test the conscience of the city in an emergency. If the current weather forecast shows that there will be heavy rain in three hours, does your city have the level of making various plans in advance like Shenzhen? I don’t know if it is the first imaginary IoT sewage and rainwater intelligent sensing system, but this system has actually helped Shenzhen through several rainy seasons and typhoon seasons, so to say which city in China is closest to the Metaverse, it should be Shenzhen .

Generally speaking, the metaverse is to technically create a parallel world for you, allowing you to easily cross time and space in the virtual world. Nowadays, the concept of the metaverse is mostly in the game industry, but in reality, the industries and technologies closest to the metaverse, or Speaking of the primary version of the Metaverse, it is actually a digital twin city. They also need an ultra-large-scale system, ultra-high-concurrency infrastructure, and an immersive interactive experience. This is a new spatiotemporal visualization twin platform created by HUAWEI CLOUD for Shenzhen. It can gain insight into the city's operational data. You can perform 2D search analysis, as well as 3D analysis functions such as sunshine analysis, submersion analysis, and viewshed analysis.

There is a twin on more than 6,000 buses in Shenzhen. The sensors on the bus send back running data in real time, whether it is reasonable for the driver to step on the accelerator and brake, when they arrive at the station, and whether they slow down when encountering pedestrians. Its digital clone connects reality and breaks the ceiling effect of reality. In the real world, any solution we take after a disaster is irreversible, while in the digital twin city, urban decision makers can be in a virtual Shenzhen Countless simulation predictions are carried out, and the derivation is repeated to give an optimal solution. Therefore, when the pattern is opened, the metaverse is not only a matter of the game world, it can also provide more efficient and scientific governance methods for urban transportation, environment, emergency response, etc.
