“In the era of great transformation of human society, the meta universe is an unprecedented opportunity for mankind.” On March 25, the forum “Zhenxia Qiyuan: real, illusory and virtual reality” was held in Beijing. Zhu Jiaming, chairman of the academic and Technical Committee of Hengqin digital chain digital Finance Research Institute, delivered a speech at its sub forum “the underlying technology of the meta universe and the imagination of future scenes”.
Zhu Jiaming is one of the early experts in China who paid attention to the concept of “meta universe”. In an exclusive interview with the reporter of science and technology daily, he said that there are three ways out of the meta universe.
First, the combination of meta universe and industry produces commercial value.
The meta universe connected by the virtual world has been regarded as a grand and promising investment theme by the investment community, and has become the Xinjiang domain of digital economy innovation and industrial chain. Zhu Jiaming believes that the game is only a form presented in the early stage of the meta universe. The meta universe can be combined with industries such as industry, agriculture and education. Among them, the educational meta universe has the greatest development potential, because the meta universe provides the largest space and the best technical foundation for all-weather learning.
Zhu Jiaming said that metauniverse has a lot of room for commercialization, “but I don’t want metauniverse to repeat the lessons of the Internet in some stages, that is, being coerced and controlled by capital forces. I hope that metauniverse can avoid vulgarization, vulgarization and excessive commercialization.”
After becoming the dualistic space of human existence.
Zhu Jiaming stressed that the meta universe is not for the current generation, but for the “post human” after stepping out of the human world. He explained that future generations refer to various types of people like those shown in the science fiction film blade runner 2049 – Biological people, electronic people, digital people, virtual people, information people, people who have been genetically edited, etc.
“The meta universe is quite related to post humans.” Zhu Jiaming said that the real human beings and the virtual human created by them are forming new social relations and emotional connections, becoming the pioneers of exploring the boundary of the meta universe, and building a post human society on the virtual Newland Digital Technology Co.Ltd(000997) . Yuancosmos provides a new path for the final digital transformation of human society, and shows a new era with the same historical significance as the era of great navigation, the era of industrial revolution and the era of aerospace.
“Of course, building a meta universe can not be completed through one or two five-year plans. It will take 30, 50 or even 100 years.” Zhu Jiaming said.
Third, the meta universe has become the experimental center of human transformation.
Zhu Jiaming said that with climate change, the continuous expansion of innovation scale, and the accumulation and out of control of crises, human society has ushered in a major transformation, and great changes are being bred.
In the past, when mankind sought a way out of the great transformation, it was to experiment with people themselves and the earth, such as the industrial revolution and the development of atomic bomb. The experiment finally helped mankind complete the great transformation and made mankind pay the price of wealth and even life. “In the past, humans were able to withstand these experiments because there was no strong correlation between people at that time, and the earth was not as small and fragile as it is now.” Zhu Jiaming said.
Today’s human beings and the earth can no longer bear the trial and error cost and consequences of social experiments. Problems that cannot be solved in the real world need to experiment in a new world to find a way out, and the meta universe provides a revolutionary solution.
In this regard, Zhu Jiaming explained that because the meta universe technology is immersive, it can simulate the real world to the greatest extent. It can’t be done in pure physics.
“In a word, doing experiments in the meta universe will help humans perceive the future in advance.” Zhu Jiaming said that after evaluating the experiments in the meta universe, some measures that can be implemented in the real world will be implemented, and those that should be avoided will be avoided, so as to avoid human detours and reduce the cost of trial and error, so as to provide a scientific basis for solving human problems.
In the interview, Zhu Jiaming said that the key core of the meta universe is digital twin technology. The technology cluster supporting the meta universe includes five sectors: network and computing technology, artificial intelligence technology, video game technology, display technology and blockchain technology. “The meta universe is generated by the promotion of ideological power, and the development of technology provides support for the ideological power behind the meta universe.”
