As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 78 The first year of the metaverse concept

At the beginning of this year, the CEO of Roblox took the lead in advocating the metaverse: the metaverse is an online space where we can work, play and entertain.

Then FB founder Xiao Zha quickly followed up, saying:
The immersive virtual social environment is an important part of Metaverse, and FB needs to do VR first and then AR.

VR has been promoted by the industry for a long time, and there have been productions of landing products, including VR games and VR movies.

Neon has made a lot of movies with VR as a gimmick in recent years.

And AR is augmented reality, which can be understood as a more advanced and realistic projection. The virtual world and the real world interact through 3D projection, and the boundary between virtual and reality is opened.

The dragon in the S7 League of Legends Global Finals is the landing of AR.

However, compared with VR, AR mostly appears in large-scale commercial activities, and there are few personal applications.

To a certain extent, Zhuchang Onmyoji's worldly spells can also be regarded as AR.

At present, it seems that AR is farther away from us than VR.

In May the CEO of Take-Two, the parent company behind GTA developer Rockstar, declared:

GTAonline has been working on the metaverse for a long time, and I can't stand the fact that the industry is now discussing the metaverse, AR, and VR.

In July, Xiao Zha came out and said: The goal of Metaverse is to build a minimalist and interconnected world, and social interaction in virtual space is an important infrastructure of Metaverse.

What does this mean? FB will vigorously enter the metaverse, and we will build the basic element of social networking for everyone in the metaverse.

As for minimalism, it is estimated that Xiaosha really wants to learn how to play Goose Factory. If you have no money, it means that the initial character wears a pair of pants and is minimalist enough. Your virtual space has nothing.

It's called minimalism.

If you are rich, you will also wear famous brands and live in luxury houses in the metaverse, and the gap between rich and poor will be more vividly reflected in the metaverse.

When it came to September, Apple and Goose Factory couldn’t help it anymore. Cook said: It feels like the metaverse is more like another name for AR.

Xiao Ma claimed: Metaverse makes the virtual world more real, and makes the real world more virtual experience, which is a direction of integration.

Everyone has said that 2021 is the first year of the Metaverse. This wave of discussions started in March and continued until September when it reached Big A. Zhongqingbao, as the leader of the first wave of Metaverse concepts, skyrocketed by more than 3 in a month. %.

Metaverse has always been considered by some or most people in China to be a hoax, a gimmick far greater than its own meaning.

I think it's just repackaging outdated technologies such as VR and AR with different names and launching them on the market.

This is the same as thinking in 2008 that the iphone is just a fusion of mp4 and mobile phones. Smartphones are just an integration of mature technologies, but they have created a vigorous development of the mobile phone industry in the next ten years.

Reborn giants relying on the wave of smartphones emerge in endlessly, old mobile phone manufacturers such as nokia have been acquired, and the brand has been reduced to almost disappear in the Chinese market.

The metaverse is the same. Its biggest selling point is that it breaks through the boundary between virtual and reality, allowing the real world to have a broader boundary.

It is not denied that this is also the integration of existing technologies, but it will actually promote industrial development and technological progress.

2021 is the first year of the metaverse rather than the first year of the concept of the metaverse. The real first year of the metaverse will wait until there is a metaverse device like the first iPhone that integrates into the market.

According to the current development of the industry, it is estimated that it will have to wait until 2025. Now these companies are the first to take the lead, and everyone wants to take the lead in the third wave of the Internet.

The first wave of the Internet is the comprehensive popularization of PCs, the second wave of the Internet is the rapid development of smartphones, then the Metaverse will be the third wave of the Internet.

The end of this Internet wave is the beginning of the maturity of virtual reality.

Kechuangbio is preparing to go public in this crazy environment. As a monopoly enterprise of brain-computer connection, Kechuangbio is also labeled as the Metaverse.

Everyone knows that in order to truly realize the Metaverse, brain-computer interaction is inseparable.

Even augmented reality, combined with brain-computer connections, can create a wider range of gameplay.

The brain-computer connection technology authorized by Kechuangbio is just a very rudimentary brain-computer connection. It can only combine the front camera to capture your eye nerve signals to determine where you want to click.

It can't do it. If you want to control the volume of the mobile phone, control the power on and off of the mobile phone, it can't do it.

But even so, with the help of brain-computer connection, game manufacturers still thought of many ways to play.

One of the most popular mini-games recently is called Summoning Dragon, which is a mini-game that controls the direction of tadpoles and slowly devours them to evolve.

It is still a stand-alone game, from tadpole to frog to turtle to goldfish, all the way to evolve into a dragon.

It is such a game, and its manufacturer claimed that it is a perfect fusion of game and brain-computer connection when promoting it. Many people are addicted to it as soon as they play it.

"Playing Summon Dragon in the middle of the night became a survival game for me."

"It can only be said that playing with a brain computer connected to a mobile phone and playing with hands are two completely different feelings."

"Finally summoned!"

After the game was launched, the Weibo hot search list topped the top five, related super words quickly exceeded 1 million, and the thousand-degree search index was also rising rapidly.

The manufacturer who developed this game claims that the number of daily active users has exceeded 200 million.

You must know that this is just a small flash game, the gameplay is very similar to Snake, but it has become a huge hit on major social media, especially on Douyin, where the number of views on Douyin has exceeded one billion.

Other game makers believe this is due to the brain-computer connection gimmick.

In addition to Rice, brain-computer connected mobile phones from companies such as OV, Huawei, and Samsung are already on the market.

Among them, Samsung's mobile phone that combines brain-computer connection and folding screen has the highest evaluation, but the mix 4, which focuses on cost performance, is still the best seller.

Although rice mix4 claims to be a high-end model, it is still cost-effective among high-end models.

Especially after the brain-computer connected mobile phones of fellow merchants came into the market one after another, Rice began to cut prices. First, the price of 1 units was reduced by 500 yuan a day to let Mi fans grab it.

After Samsung's brain-computer connection folding screen mobile phone was launched, the rice mix 4 was directly reduced by 500, so that the president of OPPO cursed in private:

"Lei Jun's pattern is just like this, rice will never stand in the real high-end market."

The data obtained by institutions must be much faster than retail investors.

The data here is not only the latest holdings of individual stock institutions, industry research reports, but also enterprise production capacity and industry data analysis. When these data can be seen by retail investors, there is a lag of at least one month.

For example, the IDG smartphone industry shipment data report, the organization may have received it in January, and it will be March by the time retail investors see it.

If the shipment of smartphones last year is not as expected, the institutions have already run out, and retail investors are still buried in it.
