What is the Metaverse? How will the explosive metaverse affect our lives?
The metaverse is one of the hottest topics in the technology circle recently. I believe that everyone who cares about a little technology news has heard this word, but the metaverse seems to be far away from us. I only heard the sound of the stairs, but there was no sign of anyone coming down.
What exactly is the metaverse? How will it change our lives? Next, take your friends to learn more about the past, present and future of the Metaverse. The Metaverse fire started last year with a speech by Mark Zuckerberg, the head of Facebook, the world's largest social platform. Zuckerberg said that the existing Internet technology has reached a bottleneck and lacks innovation. In order to lead the times, Facebook will take the metaverse as the company's core project in the future and redefine the direction of Internet development. Zuckerberg's influence is not necessary. It is doubted that his Facebook has influenced the social life of 3 billion users around the world. The next day, the world set off a wave of discussions about the metaverse, and people flocked to eat melons.
Objectively speaking, the Internet industry needs a new development vision. Zuckerberg proposed the metaverse at the right time. Around the discussion of the metaverse, the bigwigs in the Internet circle are naturally divided into two factions. One faction agrees with Zuckerberg. Grid's point of view is that the universe is the future development direction of the Internet, and most people agree , is responsible for the development of the Metaverse, saying that the company is actively observing the development of the Metaverse industry, and there are people who oppose the Metaverse. For example, Zhou Hongyi of 360 believes that the Metaverse is a scam created by Zuckerberg to save Facebook's stock price, he said: If you look at their stock prices, they have fallen unbelievably. The Metaverse is a fake demand and was forcibly created; Yin Ye, CEO of BGI, said that there is no need to over-interpret the Metaverse. The Metaverse is essentially a virtual reality technology. It became popular in China in 2015, and the Americans just packaged a new concept.
How should we ordinary people understand the metaverse? There are two movies for reference. The first is the movie "The Matrix", in which humans are imprisoned by the robot empire in a virtual world called the Matrix. The physical body of the real world is in a sleeping state and is connected to the host through the interface behind the head. It enables the spiritual world to live in the matrix, and the fictional world of the matrix satisfies all human needs and drowns out human resistance to robot rule in the real world. A traitor of the human resistance army said while eating, I know this piece The meat doesn't exist, but when I put him in my mouth the matrix tells my brain that this thing is delicious and delicious.
The matrix world may sound like a fantasy, but Musk, the richest man in the world, has invested in a company that studies human-computer interconnection. He has done experiments on a monkey, using an interface to connect the monkey's brain to the host computer. It is said that it can be treated in the future. certain brain diseases. The Matrix presents a negative scenario of the metaverse for the future of mankind, but technology is neutral, and technology itself is neither good nor bad. Just like when Nobel invented explosives, the original plan was suitable for blasting mines and relieve the suffering of labor, and it was used in war on a large scale.
The second movie is "Ready Player One", which shows us the bright future of the Metaverse. There is no need to open a mouth in the head. People only need to wear special glasses to immerse themselves into a game world full of joy. This is a game world with touch, smell, and taste. It is much more real and interesting than the current games on computers and mobile phones. It is much more real and interesting than the current global mainstream. The Metaverse Company also regards games and entertainment as the main development direction of the Metaverse.
There is a game community in the United States, hyping the concept of the metaverse, and began to sell real estate in the game. The highest price of houses in prime locations was 20,000 US dollars per square meter, and the media called it outrageous. Judging from the existing technology, the world like that of the number one player is still a long way from us ordinary people, and we can't see it or touch it, but the metaverse has made many breakthroughs in virtual idols and has entered the application stage. Japan is a virtual world. The explorer of the idol industry once held an offline concert for the virtual idol Hatsune Miku in Tokyo. Tens of thousands of fans sang the first chorus song in the audience. The atmosphere was extremely high, but Hatsune Miku was only a virtual idol. In version 1.0, he can only perform the show according to the set program and cannot interact freely with fans.
Today, the development of virtual idols in China has surpassed that of Japan. Last year, a person named Liu Yexi became popular overnight on Douyin, and a short video gained 4.6 million followers. The next day, Liu Yexi was on the hot search on the entire Internet. In fact, Liu Yexi is a A virtual idol, not a real person. He wears Hanfu and Tang style makeup. In the short video shooting with the real person, it is impossible to tell who is real and who is virtual. If it is not for the virtual beauty in the Douyin account With the introduction of experts, almost no one will doubt its authenticity. Before, Liu Yexi will start a live show, using artificial intelligence technology to interact with Nobel Prize author Mo Yan freely, and tell fans stories and talk about the future together. Perhaps this is the closest we are to the Metaverse.
