In recent years, the relatively abstract concept of "meta-universe" has suddenly swept the screen. Everyone understands the concept of the universe, but what does it mean? How do you define the metadverse? What effect does it have? Here you and I loan to introduce to you, I hope to help you understand the word meta-universe more deeply.
There is actually no unified concept of what a "meta-universe" is. The "grandchild" -- the original concept of a metasurverse, an always-on virtual world parallel to the real world, was put forward by science fiction writer Neil Stephenson in his 1992 book Avalanche. In this world, everything except eating and sleeping can be done in the virtual world.
As for the connotation of "Metaverse", Baidu Encyclopedia notes as follows: Metaverse is a virtual world linked and created by means of science and technology, mapping and interacting with the real world, and a digital living space with a new social system.
The meta-universe is essentially a virtual and digitized process of the real world, requiring a lot of changes in content production, economic systems, user experience, and physical world content. But the metasexes evolve gradually, as tools and platforms converge and evolve, underpinned by shared infrastructure, standards and protocols. It provides immersive experience based on extended reality technology, generates a mirror image of the real world based on digital twin technology, builds an economic system based on blockchain technology, closely integrates the virtual world with the real world in economic system, social system and identity system, and allows each user to produce content and edit the world.
In summary, the "meta-universe" will bring five important impacts on social development: one is to further improve social productivity in terms of technological innovation and collaboration; Second, a series of new technologies, new forms of business and new models have been spawned to promote the transformation of traditional industries. Third, promote the cross-boundary derivative of cultural and creative industries to greatly stimulate information consumption; Fourth, the reconstruction of work and life style, a lot of work and life will take place in the virtual world; Fifth, we will promote the development of smart city application scenarios and innovate social governance models.
However, all kinds of phenomena show that the society is still lack of deep thinking on the logic and value behind the concept of "meta-universe", and there is an impulse of commercial capital to be realized in a hurry. Therefore, you and I remind you to rationally examine the "meta-universe", about the "meta-universe" investment should also be more understanding, more research. All in all, the "meta-universe" is still in its infancy, and there is still a long way to go before the meta-universe era comes.
