World-renowned Technology Companies are all Deploying Metaverse. What will Happen to Metaverse in the Future?

 

                               

What is the Metaverse? How should technology companies lay out their future in the face of Metaverse explosion?

Tencent CEO Ma Huateng proposed a concept about the All-true Internet in 2020. He said that the door to the virtual world and the real world has been opened, and the next decade of mobile Internet is dedicated to helping users achieve a more realistic experience.

A concept that is very close to All-true Internet: Metaverse. With the official listing of Roblox Corporation(RBLX.US), the first stock of Metaverse, on the New York Stock Exchange, It only took only three months to turn the metadverse into one of the hottest concepts on the technological frontier.

Metaverse

Metaverse currently has no accepted definition. This term originally came from the novel "Avalanche" written by science fiction writer Neal Stephenson in 1992. In the novel, the author described a cyberspace parallel to the real world-"metaverse",  in which people of the future interact with each other in the form of virtual avatars in an immersive digital world. By 2021, Roblox Corporation, as a creative sandbox game with player interaction, self-built space and gameplay, has attracted more than 7 million free game developers, and Users began to get a relatively clear outline of the "metasurses" in various games and online practices.

The meta-universe means a sustainable virtual world that parallels and interacts with the real world at present. In this space, users in the real world will have one or more ID identities in the digital world. Users enter the digital world through terminals. Through constant interaction and communication, they can gradually generate various rules and orders. The chain of realistic social relations will be transferred and restructured in the digital world and finally form a safe, stable and orderly economic operation system.

As the concepts related to the metaverse gradually become clearer, it is also being given more far-reaching significance. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said: Metaverse can be seen as the successor of the mobile Internet, a concrete Internet, not only watching content, but you are in it, You can't experience on a 2D flat application or web page

In the future, the metaverse may even be used as a second dimension beyond the real identity. In the "metaverse" space, we live and socialize with another level of identity, allowing the economic system and civilization to coexist in another world.

The concept of metaverse is uniquely favored

At present, on the Metaverse track, major technology giants have started to accelerate their deployment.According to Bloomberg estimates, the current global market of Metaverse is about 800 billion U.S. dollars. A large number of technology entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and China are attracted by the concept of Metaverse related investments.

Facebook, which is the main social product, released the VR social platform “Facebook Horizon” as early as 2019. In July of this year, Zuckerberg directly announced that it would transform Facebook into a metaiverse company in the next five years.

                      

Apple confirmed the acquisition of VR start-up NextVR in May last year. In May of this year, Microsoft announced that it was working hard to create a "corporate metaverse"; chip giant Nvidia(NVDA.US) launched “Omniverse”, an augmented reality company Magic leap Inc., launched "Magicverse".

As the first company in China to start the layout of "Metaverse", Tencent(00700.HK) not only holds a large number of shares in Epic Games, but also invested US$150 million in Roblox as early as February 2020, and also won the distribution rights of Roblox products in China; ByteDance is also unwilling to be outdone, and spent US$1.5 billion to acquire Pixsoul Inc., a VR software and hardware company. The technology giants have proved the value of Metaverse with their actions. As many well-known technology companies in the country have deployed "Metaverse", the major industries related to Metaverse have also ushered in opportunities for industrial transformation.

Prospects

Metaverse is an extremely open and complex system. As an extension of the real world, the connection between the virtual and the real world is the mature and integrated application of VR/AR, 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud and many other technologies.

At present, Metaverse is still in the initial stage of industry development, and the development of various underlying technologies still has a large gap between the needs of Metaverse landing applications, which means that there is a huge room for expansion of Metaverse related industries.

If companies in the digital technology field want to overtake the meta-universe curve and take the lead, they must make a forward-looking layout in terms of technology and standards, and even increase the metaverse track.

For example, in order to provide users with a more realistic immersive experience and obtain a more natural interaction and application experience in the scene, many companies are studying how to quickly update and iterate technology and content.

At present, Jimuyida.com uses the self-developed Web 3D three-dimensional space engine component, which can embed real scenes in 3D virtual scenes, supports three-dimensional display of three-dimensional effects, combines VR/AR technology, and introduces more high-precision tracking technology. Users can have a more realistic and immersive scene experience through the handle or even gesture recognition, and enjoy the immersive browsing mode. With the upgrading of technology in the future, it will surely get a wider range of applications.

51 Jianmo.com, as a service platform including 3D scanning equipment, 3D modeling, 3D model digital scene customization based on AR/VR technology applications, is developed based on WebGL and supports the integration of the whole platform and the system. The 3D custom editing function provides perfect customized interactive solutions for various industries. With the addition of the VR/AR display platform, it breaks the limitations of time and space, can build various model themes, and diversify communication channels.

From the initial VR glasses to the realization of AR immersive scenes, the virtual world has become an indispensable part of people's lives. What is certain is that with the advancement of technology and industrial upgrading, the realization of the metaverse scenario we currently envision is only a matter of time.

As an expansion of the real world, a brand-new Internet world created by Metaverse is likely to mean the subversion of all existing industries. Because of this, we not only have expectations for its future development, but also need to steadily follow the path of technological research after seeing the future direction, strengthen basic research, and promote the healthy development of the metaverse industry.
