The earth's resources are limited, and in today's rapidly expanding and rapidly increasing number of human beings, we need to open up new territories. In fact, this is not a new event, human beings have done a lot in history to create incremental markets Century, European explorers raised money from kings, opened up new shipping routes, discovered North America, and obtained incremental markets;Now, Musk is raising funds from the market to build rockets, wanting to try new possibilities on other planets and obtain incremental resources. In fact, the same is true of the metaverse, we want to artificially create a virtual world related to the real world outside the real world, so as to avoid the stock in the real world and make people live happier lives. (Of course, there are also opponents who believe that human beings should not continue to expand, but live in harmony with the earth, etc., and I think it is normal to have different views, after all, contradictions are the internal driving force that drives the development of things.)
The technical support of the metaverse.
The foundation of the metaverse is some basic technologies, such as blockchain, edge computing, VR (virtual reality), AI (artificial intelligence), AR (augmented reality), BCI (brain-computer interface), WSC (warehouse-level computer D imaging), visual rendering technology, etc., the most important of which are blockchain, edge computing and VR.
Blockchain. The world to be created by the metaverse is a bit similar to the scene in "Ready Player One" or "Runaway Player", but the world created by the metaverse is not only limited to games, but also has a complete financial system, social system, legal system, etc., which requires the support of blockchain technology to establish credibility for it.
Edge computing. The purpose of edge computing is to be there and provide a smooth experience for users.
VR technology. VR technology is designed to provide users with a fully immersive experience, including sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste, and other human senses, which seems to be a very complex thing. But there is a view that all human sensations are transmitted to the brain through the nerves, and then the brain makes judgments, and the human brain is very easy to deceive, so why don't we directly control the brain?The BCI (brain-computer interface) can connect the human brain and the computer, transmit information to the brain through the computer, meet the needs of the five senses, and provide an immersive experience.
The future of the metaverse.
Twenty years ago, people used Nokia and felt that it was a blessing to chat with friends in other placesLater, the computer side was able to talk, and people felt that their quality of life had improved;And now, holding a mobile phone anytime and anywhere ** chat has become a Xi for people. What will the world look like in 20 years?Everything is unknown. In the past few years, various technologies have been in an explosive period, and we believe that the future is promising.
