On December 27, Baidu Create 2021 (Baidu AI Developer Conference) will be held at Xirang APP. Xirang App is crowned as the first Metaverse product in China. Xiyang claims to be able to accommodate 100,000 people interacting on the same screen, and the Bird's Nest Stadium can accommodate 91,000 people. In the future, a large-scale concert or variety show can be held in Xiyang.
Xiyang experience process
Xiyang has lived up to high expectations. You can download and experience it now. After entering the App, set my image and name.
Character editor
This is my image. Currently, Xirang provides very few characters that can be created. Even if you use your own photos to synthesize the image, it does not achieve the effect of a 3D virtual portrait. There are also relatively few wearable clothes and shoes.
There is still a lot of room for functions and gameplay to be developed at this moment in image. After
enters the application, the default location is Xiyang Observation Deck.
Observation platform
The observation platform overlooks Xirang. It feels a bit like a novice training village, including how to control the character and other operations.
Xiyang supports 100,000 people interacting on the same screen. If someone is talking next to you, you can hear it. This has been taken advantage of by some marketers, who play audio in an infinite loop, much like street hawking.
Setting page
What to do if you feel it is noisy. Currently, there is no reporting portal in Xiang, and the source of the sound cannot be confirmed. It can be controlled by setting the range for receiving voice. Change the acceptance range to 0 meters, and the world will finally become quiet.
Xiyang integrates Xiaodu Voice to ask for help, where is this place, how to get to other places and other questions.
Come on, come find the time capsule with me.
This may be the time capsule, the Feng Tang Art Exhibition on the 99th floor, and the Baidu World Conference on the 188th floor.
Let’s first go to the Feng Tang Art Exhibition on the 99th floor. This process is like taking a sightseeing elevator. I have arrived at the Feng Tang Art Museum.
Turn on the exhibition mode and take a photo of tourists.
Many of Feng Tang’s works are different from reality. The works are all suspended and have a translucent effect. This should be the advantage of the digital exhibition hall.
left, returned to my time and space elevator, and went to the Baidu World Conference on the 188th floor.
followed the landmark arrow and was teleported accidentally.
Transmission scene
Oh, it was transported to the Apollo exhibition hall and Baidu autonomous driving exhibition hall. There are many sub-exhibitions here at Baidu World Conference, including Inter smart chips and AI displays.
My feelings after experiencing it
The functions currently provided by Baidu Xirang app are still very limited. The overall function is very similar to a 3D game. You can define your own character, use the materials provided by Baidu to make faces, wear clothes, and wander around in different scenes. .
Although I am walking around the exhibition in the second person, the overall feeling is still very good. Although everyone passing by me is an avatar, they have a sense of reality because they will make some sounds that I encounter when I visit the exhibition in real life. If you can wear VR glasses, use first-person perspective, and match the 4K picture effect, I think the sense of immersion will be stronger.
VR will be the first entrance to the metaverse. At present, the scene in the metaverse is still mainly audio-visual.
can be seen and heard. The Metaverse is indeed more like a world. What you hear and see will be different when you stand in different places. The characters talking face to face are more like communicating in reality.
In addition to VR, such gorgeous scenes also require chip support, especially the performance of the graphics card. If you want to quickly switch scenes without a card, you also need a faster network speed. Metaverse integrates too many black technologies. I believe that in the next five years, Metaverse will It will become a platform that can provide better services. The Yuanverse platform will survive, and such a company must have its own strong R&D team, not only software but also hardware.
At 14:00 on December 27, Baidu Create 2021 (Baidu AI Developer Conference) will be held in Xirang app. We look forward to Baidu bringing richer and more gorgeous scenes.
