The rise of the Internet has changed people's daily life. The rapid development of the mobile Internet has brought us a variety of disruptive experiences.

Before the rapid development of smart phones and mobile Internet, most people could not imagine that a mobile phone could realize countless functions and bring unprecedented experience.

If you can go back to ten years ago, you can't imagine that it will be like this ten years later. People's dependence on smart phones and the Internet is incredible. Standing at the current point in time, let us think of the world ten years from now. What kind of thoughts will you have?

In recent years, a variety of creative products have been born, and some cross-age concepts have begun to subvert people's traditional cognitive level.

With the accelerated research and development of unmanned driving technology, and gradually put it into the scene application, this in the past time, we can not imagine. Perhaps, in the next ten years, you will see that driverless technology will gradually become popular in people's daily life, and even the L4 or L5 stage of driverless driving will be realized in a real sense. At that time, it will really be fully automatic. The driving experience.

Now there is a new next-generation Internet "meta-universe", which now sounds like a science fiction and dreamy thing, and it feels far away from us. In the next ten years, you may create all kinds of "impossibility" with the help of metaverse, which is also an important force for technological change!

What is the meta universe?
Perhaps, for now, there is no consensus in the world, but when the concept of meta universe has not yet reached a consensus, the world's major giants have begun to accelerate the deployment of meta universe. Among them, Facebook also deliberately changed the company's name to "Meta" to speed up hooking up with Meta Universe. Not only Facebook (Meta), but Google, Apple, and domestic Tencent, NetEase, ByteDance, WiMi Hologram, and SNAP are all adding to the layout.

Then why is this concept 30 years ago renewed today? "Occasionally and inevitable." The present is a delicate node. The underlying computing power, network bandwidth, AI and other infrastructures are in a stage of rapid development. The Internet and mobile Internet traffic growth has peaked, and the game iteration has reached a bottleneck, but user needs are more complicated. , The ultimate experience.

In the words of Zhu Jiaming, Chairman of the Academic and Technical Committee of the Digital Asset Research Institute: “Behind it is the “clustering effect” of the relevant “meta universe” elements, which is similar to the clustering effect experienced by the Internet in 1995.” In his view, Yuan The universe provides a new path for the ultimate digital transformation of human society. It is a "new era with the same historical significance as the era of great navigation, the era of industrial revolution, and the era of aerospace."

1. Meta (Facebook) (FB.US)
Meta (Facebook) was born in February 2004. It is the world's largest social platform with the largest number of users. It owns multiple social products such as Instagram and WhatsApp. As of 3Q21, the total number of monthly active activities under Facebook's products was 3.58 billion, accounting for 4.80 billion worldwide. 74.6% of Internet users. Since 2014, the company has begun to deploy the meta universe through the acquisition of a VR equipment company.

In 2021, the company officially transformed into Meta Universe Company, renamed Meta, focusing on the ecological construction of Meta Universe, and opening a new stage of development. Hardware-side expansion tries MR (augmented reality), and the application-side scene has been expanded to eight scenes including home, office, and fitness (including NFT transactions) from the previous social & gaming. The company hopes to allow 1 billion users to join Metaverse within the next ten years to jointly develop the next generation of the Internet. In 2022, the new Oculus Quest 2 will be renamed Meta Qquest 2.

2. Apple (AAPL.US)
Apple will become another key player in the meta-universe on different levels. First of all, the company is developing AR glasses, which are expected to replace the iPhone and completely subvert our current use of smart phones. Therefore, Apple will become the main hardware supplier of Metaverse, just like the current web2.0. However, Apple will also have important software because it has developed the Apple AR Suite, which is an augmented reality application creation tool that allows companies and developers from all over the world to create their own AR applications.


3. Nvidia (NVDA.US)
Nvidia is a supplier of graphics chips, AI chips, and data center chips. Relying on customized software platforms, development tools, and application tools, Nvidia has built a "strong, robust and self-sufficient" composed of software, universities, startups and partners. Ecosystem" (Forbes evaluation).

In a recent virtual keynote speech, Nvidia founder and CEO Huang Renxun announced a series of latest AI technologies and products, and launched a new virtual avatar platform carrying his "meta universe" vision. The "mini toy version of Huang Renxun" Toy-Me generated by this platform can naturally ask questions and communicate with people.

Huang Renxun also announced that NVIDIA will build a digital twin model to simulate and predict climate change. The new supercomputer will be called E-2, which is Earth Two, the digital twin of the earth, which can use Million-X in the virtual world simulation engine Omniverse. It runs at a million times speed. Created its own Omniverse platform, connecting the 3D world to the shared virtual world. Omniverse, which is used to simulate real-world buildings and factories, is a "pipeline" that can build a meta-universe.

4. Vuzix (VUZI.US)
Vuzix is ??a developer of augmented reality devices, such as glasses and headsets for businesses and professionals. The company focuses on B2B, targeting multiple applications of augmented reality, such as telemedicine, warehousing logistics, and manufacturing. Vuzix is ??still in the growth stage and has not yet achieved profitability, but its technology and patents are undoubtedly hopeful for the future.


5. Wimi Hologram (WIMI.US)
Established in 2015, WiMi Hologram focuses on computer vision holographic cloud services. It is one of the most outstanding holographic cloud industry integrated entities in China in terms of scale, coverage, and performance.

As one of the largest listed companies in the world, Microsoft no longer needs to introduce too much in the market. Microsoft's influence in the field of augmented reality and virtual reality is not as intermediary as it should be. In fact, Microsoft is the manufacturer of HoloLens. HoloLens is a hardware device that has been widely used in various fields, mainly for professional use.

Snap is clearly the primary owner of a social application called SnapChat, which has more than 300 million daily active users.

At present, we have not seen the specific application scenarios of the meta universe, nor the commercial operation mode of the meta universe, and even the concept of meta universe has not yet formed a real consensus in the world, but this is not Hinder the active exploration of global giants.

Human beings have become great because of their dreams. Now they seem to be imaginary things, but through continuous human associations, they may eventually become a subversive and creative thing.

Global giants have deployed Meta Universe one after another. In the future, there is a high probability that they will continue to increase R&D investment in the exploration process of Meta Universe, and hope that one day they will become a new profit growth point for the company and a breakthrough for the company's business.
