China News Service, Beijing, August 27th (Reporter Sun Zifa) "It can be said that simulation is the originator of the Metaverse", "The Metaverse represents the future development direction of the deep integration of a new generation of information technology with digital society and digital content" "Metaverse related Technology and industry are developing at an unprecedented rate”…

  The 2022 World Metaverse Conference (WMC2022) with the theme of "Insight into the Metaverse, Digital New Space" opened in Beijing on August 26 in a combination of online and offline methods. The participating experts and scholars focused on the theme of the conference to discuss and exchange, in order to promote the health of the Metaverse Develop and continuously apply active suggestions and suggestions.

  Simulation is the "Originator" of the Metaverse

  Cao Jianguo, chairman of the China Simulation Society, chairman of China Aviation Development Corporation, and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that in the 1990s, the design of virtual prototypes and 3D digital modeling were carried out in the field of simulation.

The subsequent virtual reality technology puts people in an immersive, interactive and conceived virtual world in a simulated way.

It can be said that simulation is the "originator" of the Metaverse, the technical foundation and important support of the Metaverse; the Metaverse is a virtual world that maps and interacts with the real world, is the expansion and deepening of simulation, and is the simulation of people in the loop. More pursuit of human feeling, pay attention to visual, auditory and other effects.

Metaverse can provide more intelligent simulation demonstrations and means, and provide stronger means for the development of simulation technology.

  He said that the China Simulation Society should integrate cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements in related fields, organize Chinese and foreign superior forces, expand new space for digital development, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the Metaverse.

  Aggregate subversive creative complex

  Long Teng, President of Beijing Institute of Technology, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Society of Command and Control, and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that the Metaverse represents the future development direction of the deep integration of the new generation of information technology with digital society and digital content. Evolution and other aspects lead the way of innovation. It is a typical aggregation, subversive, and creative complex, and it is also a global exploration of human beings to face major challenges such as the environment, epidemics, and conflicts.

In the future, it will actively form a Metaverse Industry Alliance, build a high-level Metaverse technology innovation platform, and promote the deep integration of Metaverse and education.

  He revealed that in the future, Beijing Institute of Technology will focus on virtual world security risk assessment, digital economy global governance and other aspects to carry out in-depth research, and strive to make new and greater contributions to the implementation of the Metaverse.

 Insight into the Metaverse requires technological foresight

  Chen Rui, deputy director of the Science and Technology Communication Center of the China Association for Science and Technology, believes that how to gain insight into the metaverse and find a new digital space can be understood from two dimensions.

  First, to gain insight into the metaverse, we must do a good job of technological foresight.

Metaverse is a master of digital technology, an emerging comprehensive research topic that integrates various core technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual technology, mobile computing, blockchain, new energy, and big data.

In less than two years from 2021, the first year of the Metaverse, to the present, the related technologies and industries of the Metaverse are developing at an unprecedented speed. The global exploration of this "new blue ocean" is unprecedented, and new technologies, New applications and new business formats are constantly emerging.

  He reminded that this also increases the difficulty, risk and input cost of related technology and industrial development.

Behind such a rapid iteration, there is always a crisis of "one move is not careful, and everything is lost"; for key core technologies, especially the concepts behind the development of business formats, there is also the risk of "one loss and nothing".

  Therefore, in terms of the underlying technology of the Metaverse, it is necessary to further strengthen the forward-looking research and judgment of science and technology, break through the "blocking points" of key core technologies, identify the "hot spots" of needs from all walks of life, and establish "soldering points" on both sides of supply and demand, so as to create a Metaverse with Chinese characteristics. "Highlights".

  Second, to find a new digital space, we must do a good job of value foresight.

The metaverse itself is also a kind of communication, but its essence is not only the change in the form of communication with the development of technology, but also the new situation of the integration of "digital-physical" space and human behavior system.

In this context, it is necessary to take situational awareness, quorum sensing and business format cultivation as the main goals, do a good job in the "trinity" top-level design of platforms, elements and scenarios, and promote the construction of a full-cycle, full-spectrum digital technology application scenario set and digital social governance community .

  Chen Rui revealed that the National Science and Technology Communication Center, which is constructed and maintained by the Science and Technology Communication Center of the China Association for Science and Technology, is actively working to explore this aspect.

  It will bring new opportunities for the development of Beijing

  Li Tao, a second-level inspector of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information, said that the current human-computer interaction, virtual reality, new display, artificial intelligence, 5G and other new technologies and new models continue to iteratively evolve, with multi-technology integration, human-computer interaction, and virtual and real integration. The Metaverse industry characterized by Metaverse is beginning to take shape, and new business formats are bred in the fields of cultural tourism, medical health, financial technology and so on.

Metaverse will bring new explosive opportunities for the development of Beijing's software and information service industry, and is the focus and strategic layout point for accelerating the construction of a global digital economy benchmark city.

  He believes that Beijing's outstanding scientific research capabilities, active enterprise innovation, relatively complete industrial chain, and rich application scenarios have created favorable conditions for the development of Metaverse.

The next step will be to actively promote the development of the Metaverse industry in Beijing, continuously improve technological innovation capabilities, improve the application level of digital scenarios, and cultivate an internationally leading industrial innovation ecosystem.

  Liu Xueliang, deputy secretary of the Beijing Daxing District Party Committee and head of the district, pointed out that in recent years, Daxing District has focused on the goal of becoming a strong industrial zone, taking the new kinetic energy of the digital economy as the traction to accelerate the construction of industrial and digital development, and complete the construction of a cross-border data pilot service platform. Offshore A transaction inspection platform and a new step in the construction of a digital trade pilot zone.

In order to better grasp the new opportunities for the development of the digital economy and seize the development opportunities of the Metaverse Track, Daxing District focuses on relying on the ecological resources of the industrial chain of Daxing Economic Development Zone, focusing on core technologies, talents, products, application scenarios, etc. Speed, the greatest sincerity, and the most considerate service boost the Metaverse project to "take root", the company thrives, and strive to build a 100 billion-level digital economy industrial cluster.

  It is understood that the 2022 World Metaverse Conference will last for 3 days. During the conference, well-known experts, scholars and business representatives in the industry will focus on "Insight into the Metaverse, Digital New Space", focusing on computing power network, 3D engine, sensing technology, spatial interaction, virtual Key technologies such as reality and human-computer interaction, as well as industrial metaverse, publishing metaverse, education metaverse, urban metaverse, virtual digital human and other metaverse scenarios, carry out technological exploration, innovative applications and academic exchanges.
