Three "factions" in the metauniverse

The fiery concept of the meta universe , Naturally, it also triggered a lot of topics and discussions , In this global debate , Some people are flocking to the meta universe , Some people despise it , Others hesitate .

In the wave of the meta universe , Participants were also split into three distinct “ faction ”： The radicals 、 opposition 、 Centrist . What's interesting is , These three big “ faction ” It is the three parties that have always existed in our discussions since ancient times .

The radicals

With a16z、Meta Enterprises represented by, etc. are undoubtedly radical in the face of the meta universe , They can be said to be pioneers in the metauniverse .

a16z In the past two years, we have focused on the related industries of yuancosmos , And in many metauniverses 、Web3 Etc , Always show a supportive attitude . As one of the top venture capital companies in the world ,a16z The investment tendency of has become the vane of many investors and enterprises , It provides a large amount of capital investment for the construction of meta universe .

Compare with a16z This way of extensive investment ,Meta It can be said to be a test of the metauniverse “ Texas Hold'Em ”. Since the name of the enterprise was changed from Facebook Change it to Meta after , The focus of the company's business is on the related industries and technology research and development of metauniverse , And claim to be in 5 Turn into a complete metauniverse company within the year .

On the other hand , There are also a large number of enterprises at home and abroad actively layout the meta universe track , Such as NVIDIA 、 Microsoft 、 Google 、 Baidu 、 Netease and other leading Internet enterprises have conducted research on relevant businesses of metauniverse . among , NVIDIA built the engineer's metauniverse “Omniverse”, The content platform created by Baidu “ Xi soil ” etc. , It has been the first product in the exploration of the meta universe .

opposition

Some people strongly support the metauniverse , Naturally, there are also many people who object . For example, musk has made it clear many times , All current discussions about the metauniverse are premature , Metauniverse is just a marketing concept . in addition ,Twitter Founder jack · Dosier also said , The metauniverse is no different from the present centralized entity , Just changed the name .

The reason why the metauniverse is questioned , To a large extent, there are great deficiencies in the current technical strength . Made with Baidu “ Xi soil ” For example , Many players who have experienced it say , It was a terrible experience . in addition ,Meta Not long ago, it also launched a meta universe platform , But its half body character model is also criticized . In the eyes of many people who are not optimistic about the meta universe , The meta universe is difficult to really land 、 Exaggerate propaganda 、 Value foam and many other problems .

It is worth mentioning that , With the development of technology and Industry , these “ opposition ” They also began to change their attitudes , such as Twitter Start to access in its platform NFT And other new content related to the meta universe , Musk's enterprises are carrying out the star chain plan 、 Brain computer interfaces are also closely related to the metauniverse . Not long ago , Musk acquired Twittter, Claim to build a platform for more freedom of speech , It also triggered the speculation of many insiders that he was planning to enter the metauniverse .

Centrist

Neutrals are a group of people who take a wait-and-see attitude towards the meta universe , They will not bet on the metauniverse , But I will not oppose it completely . A lot of times , They are all outside the main business , Try to explore the relevant content in the metauniverse .

Tencent in China 、 Bili, Bili, etc. are very typical neutrals . They are very cautious in the business exploration of metauniverse .

For example, BiliBili launched several digital collection avatars , The threshold of access is relatively high （“ Ge de ” Avatars need to meet BiliBili members 6 level , And in 2021 You can sign up for the lottery only if you log in continuously throughout the year ）, meanwhile , BiliBili is not sold as a commodity like other digital collection platforms .

Tencent is basically the same , It has no high-profile propaganda and attitude of entering the meta universe , But it's actually “ quietly ” Force , Layout on the metauniverse track . Tencent's music 、 game 、VR And other fields can more or less see the shadow of some meta universe .

summary

Three in the metauniverse “ faction ” Although there are differences in views and ideas , But on the whole , The primordial universe is an irresistible trend . Even the opposition , It is also more negative from the immature technology and other aspects , Instead of denying the powerful potential of the metauniverse .

The era of metauniverse is coming .
