When talking about the growth points and reasonable expectations of various industries in the metaverse, Liu Shenzi believes that The metaverse will be a field where multiple technologies and multiple industries intersect. Its final state is the result of natural development, not the result of top-level design . Our reasonable expectation for the exploration of the metaverse today should be to find scenarios that can be implemented quickly so that users can get a real value-added experience. For example, find the intersection of IP, games, e-commerce, digital people, and virtual images; or the intersection of industrial manufacturing and real-time rendering of , quasi-real-time rendering, etc.
Liu Shenzi said: "I sincerely hope that more industries and corporate partners will emerge in the next 1-3 years to serve end users well with Alibaba Cloud. I hope that every piece of GPU provided from Alibaba Cloud will bring value to consumers in a solid manner."
