The five dimensions will lead you to know:
Professor Shen of Tsinghua University believes that Metaverse is a new type of Internet application and social form that integrates a variety of new technologies and integrates virtual and reality, which closely integrates the economic system, social system, and identity system of the virtual world and the real world. Why are the major Internet giants scrambling to lay out the meta-universe? It can be understood that the end of the Internet may be the meta universe!

The mobile Internet dividend has reached its peak and has begun to fade. As a carrier of the integration of the virtual world and the real world, Metaverse contains huge opportunities for the transformation of social, travel, games, office and other scenarios.


NFT aspect
As a non-homogeneous token, NFT is different from Bitcoin's equivalent token, which is indivisible and unique. With this characteristic, NFT has become a digital certificate for anchoring various assets. NFT is equivalent to a certificate of ownership. In addition to the artwork mentioned above, game skins, equipment, virtual real estate, etc., can all be anchored through NFT. With this anchoring, NFT can greatly improve the tradability of digital content.

Alibaba launched the NFT trading platform AntChain Fandian, Tencent launched the NFT trading platform Magic Core App, and NetEase's Sansan Studio and Nervina Labs, The NFT project "Little Sheep Three Commemorative Gold Coins" was issued.

Regarding the meta-universe, Luo Yonghao once quoted the view: When we live in the virtual world for much longer than the time in the real world, the meta-universe will come. He believes that this moment will come in the next five to ten years. Therefore, NFT has a bright future. For the wealthy, the early adopters of NFT is an art investment experiment full of fun and demonstrating taste. But for ordinary people, betting on NFT is a wealth risk.


AI aspect
Artificial intelligence is becoming a part of life. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be the focus of discussion. For many of us, the term "artificial intelligence" reminds us of science fiction movies and the fear of humans in movies about robots taking over the world. With the development of computer and information technology, this problem has attracted many people's attention. Like many technological developments in history, the advancement of artificial intelligence has triggered people's worries that manpower will be eliminated. The reality is not so terrible, but it may be more complicated.

According to news, "Greece" will be open to all users on December 27, when Baidu Create 2021 (Baidu AI Developer Conference) will be held in "Greece".
Baidu Vice President Ma Jie talked about the AI ??aspect of Metaverse:
I think it's the same as when we looked at Metaverse now. We now want to create a virtual world. We now have a cloud. Now we are building a website. , Regardless of Baidu Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, you can buy a virtual space soon, and you can start uploading the first line of code immediately. If you are a little familiar, this website will already exist online after an hour. This is ours The power brought by the social infrastructure of the times. If we want to do a good job in the infrastructure of the cloud in the meta-universe era, just like now you want to build a website, you can go to Baidu cloud to buy a machine and quickly activate it, and you hope that the meta-universe is like this, it will be a very beautiful thing , Everyone can quickly create their own ideas and release their imagination. This is the most worthwhile place for everyone. We want to build the infrastructure.

AR/VR aspect
Using AR/VR as the interface to enter a virtual world parallel to reality and give people an immersive experience is one of the main understandings of the meta-universe concept.
WiMi Hologram, which has always had the title of "Meta Universe Holographic AR First Unit" in China , its holographic cloud and AR/VR industry has been growing rapidly . It has just released AR/VR headsets recently. New equipment products, dedicated to the research and development of 3D technology and holographic technology, to help improve the user experience of Meta universe.

Due to the surging concept of Metaverse, the market pays more attention to its AR/VR. In order to improve the global R&D layout of Metaverse, WiMi Hologram has developed innovative applications in the AR/VR/MR industry. At the same time, through investment and acquisition of Yunguan Research and Wuxi Sandiren Many Metaverse AR industry companies such as Culture, Simaiyun, Yunfan VR, Shenghuo Technology, and Zhida Culture have established a huge technology research and development ecosystem to consolidate the holographic AR industry.

At the moment, Meta Universe is so hot, AR/VR products are indispensable in Meta Universe. IDC predicts that the shipment of VR headsets will increase from about 5 million units in 2020 to more than 2,800 in 2025. Million units. AR headset shipments are expected to increase from approximately 300,000 units in 2020 to 21 million units in 2025. Various signs indicate that WiMi Hologram has grasped the growth opportunities of the Metaverse market through continuous improvement of the Metaverse product matrix, and is expected to expand its market share in the Metaverse in the future, which is expected to bring long-term value to shareholders.

cloud service
To put it simply, cloud service is to provide cloud computing services. A software usage and delivery model that provides IT resources on demand through the Internet and uses a pay-per-use pricing method. This model is based on subscription licensing and centralized hosting. Gartner predicts that in 2020 alone, cloud services will generate nearly $105 billion in revenue. This is $20 billion higher than Gartner's estimate a year ago (2019).

Alibaba Cloud is currently the leading public cloud service provider in China and Asia, ranking third in the world, second only to Amazon and Microsoft. This division is currently Alibaba's fastest-growing business, despite the loss of a major customer Bytedance just a few months ago. Compared with the same period last year, the average growth of cloud computing revenue in the first half of the year exceeded 30%, and it is expected that it will gain further momentum in the second half of the year. Alibaba's cloud computing business will enjoy the dividends of a large number of corporate IT infrastructures migrated to the cloud in the future. In the past two years, 60% of the main directions of corporate investment have been in the cloud computing field, and 50% of the investment targets are start-ups. In the long run, this trend is expected to continue.

Alibaba's recently launched server chip is more advanced than the processors provided by industry leaders Intel and AMD, and is expected to handle more complex and demanding workloads. At the same time, Alibaba's virtual productivity and collaboration tool DingTalk is similar to the Microsoft team. As the epidemic continues, it is expected that remote work businesses will benefit in the next few years. DingTalk is currently one of China's leading workplace messaging and collaboration applications, with more than 500 million active users worldwide.


Application scenario
Meta universe, as a new concept that can meet the spiritual needs of human beings and the growth space of the Internet market at the same time, has been paid attention to by many tracks. Among them, the smart home field has stood out in many tracks due to its widespread adoption of automated electrical products and rapid user growth, and has become one of the most likely application scenarios for meta-universe landing.

The basic structure of the smart home is no different from the "meta universe". Moreover, in an environment where the shipment of smart homes in China has grown substantially, many technology companies have aimed at the new field of "Meta Universe".

The meta universe mainly covers a seven-layer structure:
- infrastructure,
- human-computer interaction,
- decentralization,
- spatial computing,
- creator ecology,
- exploration, and
- experience.
At this stage, many companies have begun to deploy the "meta universe" value chain. Nvidia, AMD, Intel, AWS, Microsoft and other companies have long been entrenched in the "meta universe" infrastructure layer; while Apple, Huawei and other companies have been deployed in the human-computer interaction layer. The participation of many global leading companies has made this concept a favorite.

The Internet of Things is a technological revolution that represents the future of computing and communication. At present, there are 20 billion Internet of Things connected devices in the world, and the next 5-10 years will reach trillions of connections.

According to data from China Business Intelligence Network, China has become the world's largest IoT market at the end of 2019. Among the 1.5 billion cellular network connection devices in the world, 960 million are from China, accounting for 64%; and, China's smart homes are now The ecology has already begun to scale, and the future integration trend is a foregone conclusion.

Although Metaverse has a promising future, the current Metaverse industry as a whole is still at an early stage. From the perspective of computing power conditions, network technology, and expanded reality, the underlying architectures such as mobile communications, big data, and artificial intelligence are still major bottlenecks. What else will happen in the future? In the "meta universe" era, anything is possible!
