Metaverse technology is gradually empowering more fields, but if you talk about "steak metaverse" and "potato metaverse", you may still feel a bit "outrageous". Such cases are included in "Industry Metaverse".
In the previous interview with [ Meta Universe 100 People], we talked about some cases of unconventional Meta Universe technology empowerment, such as [KTV+ Meta Universe], [Technology+ Meta Universe], [Education+ Meta Universe], [Movie+ Meta Universe], etc., and "360 lines, every one of the impressive views of "Industry Meta Universe".
In fact, not only the content is a bit broken by imagination, but the existence form of this book is also quite special. No physical books have been released yet. It is currently a state of co-creation based on DAO (a self-constructed collaborative organization that establishes rules on the blockchain). According to Wang Zishang, founder of Shangfang Group, covering more than 30 subdivided meta-universes is not the end point, and content will continue to be enriched in the future.
Wang Zishang is the initiator of "Industry Metaverse" (also the vice president of Hainan Blockchain Association and the director of of the China Artificial Intelligence Industry Development Alliance). She told Game Daily that the above has experienced the entire process from the Internet to the blockchain to the metaverse, and has accumulated a lot of resources and connections in the six major technical fields of the metaverse, laying the foundation for making the metaverse.
Founder of Shangfang Group Wang Zi went to
communication, Game Daily found that the "industry metaverse" mentioned by Wang Zi was not just the book "industry metaverse". She divided it into three parts: one is to create the "industry metaverse" with all parties through digital native co-creation; the second is to obtain the methodology of the "publishing metaverse" around the publishing innovation around the "industry metaverse"; the third is to spread the methodology of the publishing metaverse to various industries created by cooperation and co-creation, and create the industry-exclusive metaverse.
"Industry Metaverse" chapter native digital collection
As a result, more and more partners have participated. Shangfang Group has also built some services to promote the implementation of the industry metaverse. For example, the "Science Creation 5-in-1 engine" in July can help physical enterprises quickly build Shangfang Shuchuang Mall (physical chain) and Shucang Factory (providing corresponding marketing solutions). What is different from the previous interviewees is that the metaverse in a specific field is not locked above, but at the same time, it believes in the guiding and expanding role of metaverse technology in the development of various industries, and is actively taking the lead in promoting implementation. How did Wang Zishang understand the current environment of the meta-universe? What role does the Future and Shangfang Group plan to position in the metaverse? We had a simple conversation.
This article is a series of articles from the Game Daily [100 People in the Metaverse].
The following is the interview transcript (part):
Game Daily: What role does the Shangfang Group want to play in the metaverse field? What other layouts will be included in the multi-industry meta universe in the future?
Wang Zishang: Shangfang Group continues to be its original position in the field of metaverse, becoming an observer, participant, and innovation promoter, and continues to set up a stage for all walks of life, find scripts, and find actors, horizontally integrating various infrastructure, platforms, applications and various digital assets, and promoting the transformation and upgrading of various industries from traditional industries and the Internet to the industry metaverse. Follow the pace of the times, go with the flow and follow the trend.
Game Daily: In addition to our industry meta universe, there are currently many meta universe organizations in China. In your opinion, how will it help all participants?
Wang Zi Shang: The meta universe is the culmination of digital technology and digital economy . It involves almost all information technology and digital technology . The industry meta universe has added industry technology, among which the economic system and governance system are intelligent and digital. The reduction of costs and efficiency improvement are incomparable to traditional economy and traditional governance. Therefore, both governments, industries and enterprises should embrace the industry meta universe in the future.
The economic and governance basis of the metaverse is DAO, chain, token, smart contract and other infrastructure, which is also the future and general trend of the digital economy. It is natural for everyone to participate, just like a free dinner party. Everyone brings their own specialty food dishes. The more people participate, the more diverse the foods the dinner party will be, and the more exciting the dinner party will be.
meta-universe needs to be combined with the industry, because a history of human economic development is, after all, the history of the evolution of different economic industries. Industry is the fusion point between macroeconomics and microeconomics: on the one hand, the industry is the economic sector, that is, the foundation of the economic structure, and on the other hand, the industry forms an ecosystem that supports enterprises from production to transactions.
Therefore, the metaverse needs to be industrialized, and the industry needs metaverse; the industry metaverse can accommodate all industries joining, just like the electricity and information age network in the industrial era, no one can survive without the metaverse.
Game Daily: In the process of communicating with the meta-universe co-constructors in these industries, what new thoughts have you made about the current situation of the meta-universe?
Wang Zishang: The meta universe is still in the seed germination period. Just like the Internet around 2000, if you want to grow into towering trees and form dense forests, you still have to go a long way to go, and there will be many obstacles and obstacles encountered.
various production relations, productivity factors, The industrial civilization system, governance system, and infrastructure created since the industrial revolution must be reconstructed and transferred. This is a huge project and an unprecedented revolution of digital intelligence. Traditional vested interests hope that this revolution will happen on the premise of preserving the old interests. Young people in the X Y Z era hope that the world of the metaverse will arrive as soon as possible and tug-of-war will be brought back and forth; then the metaverse will rise from the old universe and become independent, virtual people, digital people, and robots will become the protagonists in the metaverse, and real people may become supporting roles, or even useless people.
Game Daily: What do you think the broader industry meta universe lacks in order to enter the next stage of development?
Wang Zi Shang: First of all, the awareness of people participating in the construction and development of the metaverse needs to continue to improve. Since Bitcoin was created in 2009, humans' awareness of numbers has been continuously improved. New business forms and new species such as blockchain, tokens, NFT, smart contracts, oracles, DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi have been continuously created and are growing rapidly.
Secondly, the more participants and industries are, the better, especially young people. Nowadays, many industries and entrepreneurs are still wandering and waiting, and there are not enough people who are trying to get a crab with ALL IN.
In addition, the policy environment is not mature and stable. From the top design, the metaverse is still in the stage of blind people touching elephants and stones across the river. Policies and regulations need to be continuously clear and improved. The metacosmic technology corresponding to
also needs further development, completeness and maturity. If a shortcoming block will affect the capacity of the entire bucket of water.
Game Daily: What do you think of the position of basic technology in the future development of the metaverse? Will there be competition between domestic and overseas?
Wang Zishang: Basic technology occupies a core position in the future development of the metaverse, and the emergence of the metaverse is entirely due to the advancement of information technology and digital technology.
new energy technology, distributed communication computing storage technology, encryption technology, three-dimensional interactive reality technology, consensus technology, decentralized technology, trustless technology, artificial intelligence technology, gamification technology, virtual human technology, digital human technology, Internet of Things and robotics technology, digital finance technology, these technologies will all play a crucial role in the construction and development of the metaverse.
There will definitely be a competitive relationship between domestic and overseas, governments and governments, institutions and institutions, enterprises and enterprises, but the greater possibility is the relationship between and . There is cooperation in competition, competition in cooperation, mutual promotion and common development. The meta-universe is not a universe, but countless parallel meta-universes, one sand, one universe, one flower, and one world.
Game Daily: Do you have any research on the policy support of domestic local governments for the metaverse? How do you view the role of local policies in promoting the development of the metaverse?
Wang Zishang: Domestic local governments have introduced policy support for the metaverse, especially in some relatively advanced cities. This will definitely bring a positive driving effect to the development of the metaverse. Government support will allow more companies and individuals to enhance their understanding and confidence in the development prospects of the metaverse, accelerate the development of the metaverse, and increase the number of industries and individuals participating in the metaverse.
Secondly, the government's promotion will also enhance the progress of new technologies and the improvement of infrastructure, making the foundation of the metaverse stronger and stronger.
should see that the future metaverse is global and breaking through time and space. The government's promotion is only one part. Entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, artists, and the most important thing is the joint participation of DAO community chain organizations, especially the overall participation of virtual people, digital people, and robots as carriers, which is the core force that promotes the development of the metaverse.
Game Daily: Do you think that events like the suspension of the illusion core in China are considered to be a "stop" in the development of the metaverse?
Wang Zishang: In my opinion, the suspension of the phantom core in China is just a decision made by a large enterprise after considering the gains and losses of the business of participating in this digital collection. Perhaps it is because the management feels that the time is not ripe, or it is because the policies are unclear, the risks are uncontrollable, or the input-output ratio is inappropriate, or it is not suitable for the company's strategic positioning, and then makes a decision.
The development of the meta-universe is originally moving forward in a wave-like manner, and it will not be smooth sailing. Just like when cars replaced carriages, alternating current replaced DC , the process will not be smooth sailing. Although the process is difficult, painful, and very roundabout; however, the green mountains cannot be blocked. After all, the flow of eastwards, and the trend of history and the general trend of the times cannot be stopped by any force. Retreat is for greater progress.
Game Daily: Everyone is very concerned about the impact of large companies such as Microsoft and Tencent on the metaverse. Do you think they will be the core of determining the development of the metaverse?
Wang Zi Shang: Big companies only choose the entry point that best suits their interests based on their own characteristics, resources, and experience to enter the metaverse. The future metaverse will definitely not be dominated by major manufacturers such as Microsoft and Tencent, just like the Internet 20 years ago was not dominated by China Telecom , China Mobile, and China Unicom , but by later Tencent, Alibaba , and Baidu .
It is certain that the future meta-universe is definitely not dominated by the corporate system, but by the social system. Just like the current Bitcoin community, Ethereum community, dog community, and Shiba Inu community have already possessed the prototype of the meta-universe. The meta-universe must be jointly dominated by virtual people, digital people, robots and real natural people. In organizational form, organizational structure, and social governance will definitely not adopt these old infrastructure and ecological systems created during industrial civilization.
Game Daily: At present, the meta universe is more circulating at the industrial level. When do you think the concept of "meta universe" will be recognized and recognized by ordinary people?
Wang Zi Shang: In fact, the concept of the metaverse is promoted and participated in even in the industry. The metaverse is still a concept and dream for most people.
is like the Internet around 2000. You tell most people that chatting, shopping, and life online is similar to dreams. The current meta-universe is still very far away for most people. I think it will take at least 5 to 10 years or even further to truly affect the lives of ordinary people.
When digital assets grow from the current $1 trillion to $100 trillion, when digital wallet is accepted by every ordinary person, when WeChat and Alipay are abandoned, the meta universe will be accepted by most ordinary people.
