China News Service, Beijing, December 9th. Regarding the recent hot metauniverse, Ctrip Chairman Liang Jianzhang said on the 9th that metauniverse can be used as a simulator of the real universe, but it cannot and should not replace the real universe.
On December 9th, the 2021 Ctrip Group Global Partner Summit site.
"The temptation of the meta universe is very big," Liang Jianzhang said. The technology of the meta universe is advancing very fast, and it is more and more capable of simulation and realism, and it can create all kinds of fun at low cost.
Human psychological needs, such as safety, being respected, socializing, sense of accomplishment, etc., can be met at low cost through the meta-universe.
He said that people use virtual reality to climb, run, and ski at home. This is very safe. They don’t need to leave the room and upgrade continuously to gain various senses of accomplishment. They can socialize with robots, and they can also “fight monsters and upgrades”. It can produce all kinds of fun, but this will cause problems. If everyone does not need to fall in love, do not need the company of lovers and family members, what will the population do?
"If we can gain various senses of accomplishment in the metaverse, do we still have the desire to explore the real world? Will we lose the desire to explore the real world? This will bring various risks, such as population risks, and the risk of technological stagnation. ." Liang Jianzhang said.
In Liang Jianzhang's view, no matter how the metaverse or digital technology develops, it is impossible to surpass this complexity, and it is impossible to surpass this logic, so the real world is more complicated and interesting.
"As tourists, we should fully demonstrate the advanced taste of the universe that is more advanced, more interesting, more complex, and more logical. We must make tourism more interactive, more immersive, and more interesting. The experience is far better than that of Yuan Universe." Liang Jianzhang said.
Liang Jianzhang said that instead of completely abandoning the meta-universe, we can still use the technology of meta-universe virtual reality to simulate the real universe, preview the real universe, do marketing to the real universe, stimulate the desire and inspiration for the exploration of the real universe, and in turn promote the real universe. This is what we need to do.
"I hope to make everyone feel that the real universe is irreplaceable, and the desire to explore the real universe is a must, should, and will exist forever."
"Traveling will definitely recover after the epidemic is over. In the long run, the true universe will definitely defeat the metaverse. The true universe must be more interesting, advanced, logical, and irreplaceable. As long as we work hard, the metaverse will definitely not replace the true universe. Travel The industry will last for a long time," he said at last.
