Only by integrating the metaverse with industries can it have a future.

Integrate metaverse with industries for its future.

The metaverse that is close to the industry carries new scenarios, new applications, and new ecosystems of the digital economy, which will promote the deep integration of virtual and real worlds, nurture new economic momentum, and have broad space and huge potential. It is a future industry that needs to be developed. For the development of the metaverse industry, innovation-driven is fundamental, integrated application is the focus, and security and reliability are prerequisites.

Since the beginning of this year, while ChatGPT has been hot, the metaverse, which was also popular last year, seems to have cooled down a bit. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other five departments jointly issued the “Three-Year Action Plan for the Innovative Development of the Metaverse Industry (2023-2025)”, which systematically planned and strategically deployed the metaverse industry, especially the industrial metaverse. In fact, whether it is the metaverse or ChatGPT, it needs to be close to the industry and identify the application scenarios in order to change from being temporarily popular to long-lasting.

Currently, the metaverse is still in the early stage of cultivation. The term “metaverse” was born in science fiction novels and was mostly used in gaming scenarios in the early days. In simple terms, it means using digital technology to construct a virtual world that can interact with the real world. With the development of digital technology and the Internet to a certain stage, coupled with the global pandemic, the metaverse, which can bring immersion and a sense of novelty, has become very popular. At present, the metaverse is still a concept that is constantly evolving and exploring, and the related technologies need to be improved. It still lacks phenomenal applications. Practice has proved that a metaverse that is too detached from reality and indulging in games is difficult to have greater development space and will also lead to various speculative activities such as gaming, stock trading, cryptocurrency trading, and community building, which will overdraft the future of the industry.

• OpenAI, which wants to change everything, is being changed.
• After a 90% plunge in its stock price, BC Technology’s shares doubled in February. Is it a comeback against the wind with the help of the cryptocurrency exchange OSL, or just a speculative play?
• Can Web3 membership card connecting restaurants bring more repeat customers, with Blackbird invested by a16z?

In fact, the metaverse is one of the important areas of new industrialization. The metaverse itself is not a new technology, but an application that combines artificial intelligence, blockchain, 5G, the Internet of Things, virtual reality, and other new generation information technologies. It is an advanced form of integration between the digital economy and the real economy. The development of the metaverse industry is to solve the relationship between the virtual digital world and the real world. The metaverse, which is close to the industry, carries new scenarios, new applications, and new ecosystems of the digital economy, which will promote the deep integration of virtual and real worlds, nurture new economic momentum, and have broad space and huge potential. It is a future industry that needs to be developed. Especially the industrial metaverse that combines virtual and real worlds will accelerate the upgrading of the manufacturing industry towards high-end, intelligent, and green development, support the construction of a modern industrial system, and help promote new industrialization.

China has a solid foundation for the development of the metaverse industry. In recent years, the digital economy has been booming, digital technology has been iterating at an accelerated pace, and the industrialization of digitalization and the digitalization of industries have been coordinated, laying a good technological foundation for the development of the metaverse industry. At the same time, China has formed a large-scale, comprehensive, and competitive manufacturing industry system, combined with the advantages of a super large-scale market, providing more application scenarios and market space for the development of the metaverse industry. Currently, the metaverse industry chain in China has initially taken shape, and most of the leading Internet companies have completed their industrial layout in the metaverse.

In the development of the metaverse industry, innovation is fundamental. The metaverse and ChatGPT are not mutually exclusive, on the contrary, the innovative development of the metaverse industry should focus on accelerating the release of integrated innovation momentum, strengthening the integration and development of technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality represented by ChatGPT in the metaverse, continuously breaking through core technologies, cultivating leading metaverse enterprises and specialized new enterprises, exploring new models and formats for user participation in technological innovation and content production, and promoting the industry to accelerate towards high-end development, addressing weaknesses such as weak key technologies, limited product offerings, insufficient industry leaders, and weak industrial ecosystems.

Integration and application are key. The greatest characteristic of the metaverse is the integration of virtual and physical worlds, aiming to build a virtual mapping of the physical world, unleashing the enabling, superimposing, and multiplying effects of digital technologies, and enhancing the new productive forces of the digital space and the physical world. China has the advantage of a massive market demand and a wide range of application scenarios. It is more important to focus on using scenario construction to drive the application and implementation of metaverse technologies and products, creating a high-level development situation where demand drives supply and supply creates demand.

Security and reliability are prerequisites. The introduction of a large number of digital technologies into the metaverse has led to uncertainty in physical interactions, resulting in data security, privacy issues, and a crisis of trust. It can be said that trust and security are the foundation for the deep development of the metaverse. Development and security should go hand in hand, and industry cultivation and standardized governance should be coordinated and emphasized. Strengthen policy guidance and standard leadership, accelerate the construction of the metaverse governance system, establish a trusted evaluation and testing system for metaverse products, improve the intellectual property protection system for the metaverse, ensure the security of data and systems, and create a healthy and sustainable environment for industrial development, providing greater development space for the metaverse.
