Metaverse is all the rage: Up the XR content creativity in a hurry
2021 is the year that many people recognize as the first year of the metaverse. Since the game company Roblox was listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the word Metaverse was mentioned, globalization enterprises have been announcing their plans for the metaverse, especially when Facebook officially renamed the company Meta, the world is in a frenzy. The term meta-universe has been in the media and marketing copy, and is frequently mentioned in everyone's conversations.
What is the metaverse?
The metaverse is a new type of Internet application and social form that integrates a variety of new technologies. It is based on Extensions technology to provide an immersive experience, on Digital Twin technology to generate real-world images, and on blockchain technology to build an economic system that closely integrates the virtual world with the real world in terms of economic system, social system, and identity system, and allows each user to produce content and edit the world.
Literally, the word is made up of the words Meta and Universe. The concept first appeared in a novel called "Snow Crash" published by American science fiction writer Neal Town Stephenson in 1992. The novel depicts a vast virtual reality world where people use digital avatars to take control and compete to improve their status. As of now, the description is still ahead of the futuristic world.
Main Elements of the Metaverse
Roblox CEO David Baszucki says the metaverse is made up of eight elements:
- Identity (the way the user presents and interacts with people in the community)
- Friends (original friends or friends made on online platforms)
- Immersive experience (difficult on mobile, but virtual reality (VR) can really deliver)
- Low friction (the experience should be as seamlessly integration as possible)
- Diversity (millions of people in the community are creating content)
- Playable anywhere (and low latency)
- Economical (companies focus on user engagement, rather than money, and those seniors can take care of their juniors)
- and user courtesy (companies think about the security experience no matter what they build)
For immersion, digital content created by XR technology is an essential element of the soul. However, in the past, the threshold for producing XR's digital content was relatively high. First of all, if you know the programming language, you need to spend a lot of money to outsource to a team of engineers, and even though you need to have engineers in your team, it will take a long time to finish the XR content.
The traditional problems encountered in XR digital content development:
