Recently, Futureverse artificial intelligence and metaverse company announced the establishment of Readyverse Studios in partnership with Ernest Cline, author of "Ready Player One". The current plan is to create "metaverse" worlds that fans love such as those in "Snow Crash" and "Ready Player One", that is, the universe of virtual worlds.
Ready Player One has shaped the global culture and discussion around the "metaverse", while "Snow Crash" has shaped the thinking of early virtual worlds such as Second Life, what are the current development trends of the metaverse?Let's take a look
The rise of the gaming metaverse
In fact, in the public's extensive conception of the metaverse, "game" is one of the highest-priority landing scenarios. Referring to works such as "Ready Player One" and "Cyberpunk 2077", "games" have also become the main carrier of the metaverse many times, depicting people's imagination of this cutting-edge outlet.
Social gaming in the metaverse is currently evolving at a rapid pace, and real-time player interaction facilitates an immersive experience. Games like Fortnite and Roblox exemplify this trend, with players from across the globe cooperating and competing in games, breaking down the boundaries between social connections in the virtual and real worlds.
VR AR adoption increases
The current metaverse games have also led to a rapid increase in the adoption of hardware devices, VR and AR. Among them, the cost of VR headsets has decreased, and more players have begun to change the way they experience games through devices. The market capitalization of the VR market, for example, has grown from 599 in 22 years$600 million, with a projected annual growth rate of 275％。VR and AR technologies allow gamers to immerse themselves in virtual worlds, enhancing the overall gaming experience, but also breaking new ground in everything from education to entertainment to real-world applications in the corporate world.
According to research done by CSS Insight last year, 90% of people who own a VR headset would be willing to use it at work if asked. Advances in 3D rendering and eye and motion tracking technologies will advance virtual reality, and the current state of VR applications is revolutionizing several industries around the world.
Metaverse + AI
As a virtual world platform that integrates multiple application scenarios and lifestyles, the metaverse requires all walks of life to provide specialized services and applications. The release of AI models such as Chat GPT, Mid Journey, and Stable Diffusion has also brought opportunities for the innovation of the "metaverse" and the construction of metaverse platforms.
Most current "metaverse" projects restrict users from exploring, owning, and customizing things in virtual worlds. In the future, users will be able to easily and quickly create hyper-realistic objects and content with the help of AI, resulting in a unique creative experience that inspires.
The scale of the metaverse is expanding
In recent years, the global metaverse industry has grown rapidly. According to the "2024-2029 Global and Chinese Metaverse Market Status and Future Development Trend" released by the China Business Industry Research Institute, the global metaverse market will develop at an average growth rate of 50% in the next 10 years, and the market size is expected to reach US$6,390.6 billion in 2030.
The metaverse isn't just a gaming phenomenon, it's poised to reshape the global economy – it's creating new jobs, generating a variety of income**, disrupting conventional industries, and opening up possibilities for a new economic era.
