元宇宙中的数字记忆:“虚拟数字人”的数字记忆概念模型及其应用场景

Digital Memory&Metaverse:Conceptual Memory Model of Metahuman and Its Application Scenarios

文章试图为元宇宙中“虚拟数字人”建立数字记忆概念模型和信息框架,包括“个体记忆”“家族记忆”“场域记忆”“文化记忆”“交往记忆”5个存在相互交叉互动关系的组成部分。称之为“记忆数字人”,目的是更好地彰显虚拟数字人的社会价值和文化价值,为文化记忆机构在元宇宙中参与构建和长期保存“数字记忆”并支撑人文社科研究提供参考。文章调研虚拟数字人发展现状,分析元宇宙中记忆媒介演变,展望元宇宙中记忆机构职能和业务变革,探讨“记忆数字人”模型在元宇宙中对身份认同和价值体系构建的作用、如何支撑记忆机构的服务创新,以及在人文社科研究中的应用场景。

This study attempts to establish a conceptual memory model(also an information framework)of Metahuman,namely the memory model of digital human,which consists of five overlapping parts,i.e.,“Individual Memory”,“Family Memory”,“Field Memory”,“Cultural Memory”and“Communication Memory”.Aiming to better highlight the social and cultural value of Metahuman,it provides references for cultural memory institutions to participate in the construction and long-term preservation of digital memory,and supports the humanities and social sciences research in the Metaverse.By examining the development status of Metahuman,analyzing the evolution of memory media,and looking forward to the functional and business transformation of memory institutions in the Metaverse,this paper explores the model’s role in building identity and value systems,and supporting service innovation in memory institutions,as well as its application scenarios in humanities and social sciences research in the Metaverse.
