In the past two years, with the continuation of the bull market, related concepts of the blockchain industry have also gained a lot of hype, such as public chains, decentralized finance (DEFI), NFT, Metaverse and so on. However, the metaverse concept that has been hyped up recently is different from the past. This time, the metaverse concept has gained the resonance of outside capital, and most traditional Internet giants do not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to deploy the metaverse field.
Axie Infinity is a digital pet game built on the Ethereum blockchain. Anyone can get token rewards through their contributions in the game, which can be exchanged for real currency in the secondary market. This game ignited the metaverse boom in the entire blockchain industry, and its digital tokens also rose 400 times in just a few months.
The popularity of Metaverse is not limited to the blockchain industry, but has also won the favor of various capitals in the traditional capital market. Metaverse’s first stock, ROBLOX, has risen by more than 85% since its listing in March this year, and its market value is close to 50 billion US dollars, a surge of 12 times. Recently, the concept stocks of the A-share metaverse have also exploded. The game company Zhongqingbao announced on the official account that it will create a game related to the concept of the metaverse. After that, its stock price doubled within five days, and other game stocks related to the metaverse also It also ushered in a substantial increase. Thanks to the Roast Boy Creators Alliance!
Although the current hype for the metaverse is very hot, the current concept of the metaverse is still in its infancy. These projects that are sought after by funds are at best just a 3D game, and there is still a long way to go before the real realization of the Metaverse. Next, lets understand what the real metaverse is, and how far are we from the realization of the metaverse?
We can get a glimpse of the vision of the metaverse through many sci-fi movies. I believe that many people have watched the movie Ready Player One and are attracted by the realistic virtual scenes in the movie. And all of this is gradually coming into reality with the development of science and technology. Creating a perfect Metaverse requires the use of interactive technologies such as VR, AR, and brain-computer interfaces; 5G/6G and cloud computing technologies are also required to ensure that a large number of users are online at the same time, and blockchain technology is also required to complete trusted authentication and communication. reality link. Below we will introduce the development stages and related stages of these aspects one by one.
VR, AR, brain-computer interface interaction technology
VR technology, that is, virtual reality, generates a virtual environment through computer simulation, and people can immerse themselves in it through VR glasses to produce a perception similar to the real world. People use VR technology and combine it with the actual environment to create a very realistic virtual environment. People can experience different scenic spots around the world at home, as if they were there.
However, under VR technology, people will have a lot of restrictions in the experience process, which will cause conflicts with the real world environment, such as collisions with items placed at home, which will affect the players experience. At this time, AR ( augmented reality) technology. AR technology can achieve a high degree of integration between the virtual world and the real world. When players experience, the items placed in reality will also be transformed into corresponding items in the virtual world, allowing players to avoid them perfectly without affecting the experience.
As for the brain-computer interface technology, it is also an essential technology to realize the metaverse dream. Through some devices to collect brain waves and perform signal processing, so as to realize the control of the surrounding environment. In addition, the brain-computer interface is a boon for some players with physical disabilities. With this technology, such players can have the same experience as other players in the Metaverse.

We have seen the development of the metaverse by blockchain technology. It can be said that without blockchain technology, the metaverse will not be realized. The blockchain uses its pass to complete the perfect conversion of the virtual world economy and the real world economy, and the blockchain pass links virtual and reality. Peoples assets in the Metaverse need to use blockchain technology for authentication. NFTs based on blockchain technology are also the main liquid assets of the Metaverse, playing a very important role in the Metaverse.
From a technical point of view, all existing technologies are gradually maturing. Although there is still a certain distance from the metaverse we often see in movies, it is still feasible to build a preliminary metaverse. However, the technical level is still secondary, and certain support is also needed in terms of policy.
To realize the ultimate metaverse, the most important thing is to achieve intercommunication. If intercommunication cannot be achieved, it is not a metaverse at all, but only virtual tribes. Recently, many people have noticed that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the Peoples Republic of China is focusing on rectifying the issue of external link blocking between various platforms, which will effectively promote the interconnection between platforms, which may also lay the foundation for the subsequent development of Metaverse in advance. Imagine that in the future, our Internet giants will each create a metaverse, but they will not be able to communicate with each other, which obviously cannot realize a real metaverse.
The development of the metaverse is still in its infancy, and there are infinite possibilities for the development of the metaverse in the future, and what we have to do is to seize this trend and be a waver of the times!
