The "Meta-Universe" detonated the science and technology circle this year. What is the Meta-Universe?

Metauniverse is the Chinese translation of Metaverse, Meta stands for transcendence, verse stands for universe, and the combination of Meta+verse is the existence of transcendence and virtual universe. We can understand that Metaverse is an artificial and virtual space/world that exists outside reality. In the sci-fi novel Avalanche, people can use virtual images to interact in virtual space. Therefore, some people think that the novel Avalanche is the embryonic form of Metaverse, and the so-called metauniverse may be the "ultimate form" of future Internet development.

from the perspective of scientific and technological development, it may be just around the corner for the metauniverse to develop from concept to technology. With the rapid development of the Internet, from PC to Mobil, from VR to AR, technology companies are gradually optimizing the experience of terminal devices. At the same time, the transmission protocols, tools, platforms and equipment related to the concept of metauniverse have been gradually improved. Predictably, the countdown to our real entry into the metauniverse has started.

Under this trend, Metauniverse has quickly become popular in the capital market, which has aroused widespread concern in the society, including overseas Epic Games, Facebook, Microsoft, domestic Tencent, Mihayou and ByteDance. There are more and more players on Metauniverse track, but we don't know how far the road to the ideal and future is. It is worth mentioning that the concept of metauniverse has been active in the stock market frequently recently, and the game stocks adjacent to it have also risen several times. Recently, Zhongqingbao's opening price soared by 2%, and shares such as Shengtian Network and Kunlun Wanwei went up directly. Companies such as Palm Technology, Xunyou Technology, Kaiying Network, Baotong Technology and Perfect World also followed suit.

the prospect of the meta-universe is bright, but the creation of the meta-universe needs to consume a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, but from a technical point of view, it is still far away. In addition, after the formation of the meta-universe, it will inevitably have a huge impact on reality and seriously affect people's original life order, and it is necessary to re-formulate various issues such as law, ethics, morality, system and economic security. In a word, the future of the metauniverse can be expected, but we still need to think twice.
