元宇宙:以人为本、虚实相融的未来双栖社会生态

Metaverse:A Future Humanistic and Amphibious Social Ecology

所谓“元宇宙”就是互联网、虚拟现实、沉浸式体验、区块链、产业互联网、云计算及数字孪生等互联网全要素的未来融合形态,当下“元宇宙”的社会性膨胀中确有巨大的泡沫成分,但它的深远价值是在一个更高的维度上确立了未来互联网发展的方向。文章首先分析了“元宇宙”热背后的深层社会动因,并利用高德纳曲线探讨了“元宇宙”发展成熟的演变过程及阶段性特征;其次,文章从六大支撑技术看“元宇宙”作为互联网终极形式的价值与意义;最后,文章认为,“元宇宙”的本质是构建“以人为本”、虚实相融的人类未来的双栖社会生态。

The so-called“Metaversa”is the future integration of all elements of the Internet,virtual reality,immersive experience,blockchain,industrial Internet,cloud computing and digital twin,etc.The current social expansion of the“Metaversa”does have a huge bubble component,but its far-reaching value is to establish the future direction of Internet development in a higher dimension.The article firstly analyzes the deep-seated social motives behind the“Metaversa”fever,and explores the evolutionary process and stage characteristics of the maturation of the“metaverse”using the Goldner curve.Secondly,the value and significance of“Metaversa”as the ultimate form of the Internet are analyzed from six supporting technologies.Finally,the article argues that the essence of the“Metaversa”is to build a humanistic and amphibious social ecology for the future of human beings that integrates reality with virtuality.
