"The concept of the metaverse has gained significant attention, especially with Facebook's renaming to META. In fact, the concept of the metaverse has been around since the 1992 science fiction novel ""Snow Crash."" This year, it has seen a resurgence and become a focus for various capital investments.
The ""metaverse"" is a parallel virtual space that exists alongside the real world but is independent of it. It involves the creation of a digital twin of the real world through technologies such as VR, AR, and artificial intelligence, connecting the virtual and real worlds.
If you find this concept abstract, you can gain a more intuitive understanding by watching a few movies that depict humanity's fascination with the metaverse.
1,""Ready Player One"":
This movie is a classic example of the metaverse concept. The protagonist leads a monotonous life until he discovers he's an NPC in a virtual game. With self-awareness emerging in artificial intelligence, he seeks to change his fate. The film illustrates the core of the metaverse concept, the connection between the real and virtual worlds.
2.""The Truman Show"":
After watching ""Ready Player One,"" you might be reminded of this older movie. Jim Carrey plays the main character, living an ordinary life until he realizes he's been under constant surveillance. He decides to escape the place he's lived for over 30 years, only to discover a harsh truth: his world is a reality show. After watching it, you may wonder if each of us is living a Truman-like existence." |
