The real future of the universe is not in the field of consumption148 / author: / source:Financial Times

If Metauniverse is a person, it will be one who is still looking for his first job30People aged.

Since Neil Stephenson(Neal Stephenson)In him1992Avalanche(Snow Crash)Since the creation of the word, there has been speculation around this phenomenon. In recent years, people's attention has been focused on virtual reality games and social interactions within the consumer version of the metauniverse. But its older and often neglected brother, the industrial and corporate metauniverse, has been used to test future scenarios in aerospace, logistics and manufacturing industries.

The future will be composed of more than one metauniverse: consumer, enterprise and industrial metauniverse. If the consumer version of MetaUniverse is where you play games, the enterprise version of MetaUniverse is where you can design together with customers, while the industrial version of MetaUniverse is where you are engaged in manufacturing.

Although many of the technologies of the industrial metauniverse are still evolving, one of them has been firmly established: digital twins. With the help of digital twins (accurate virtual replicas), the company has a real-time simulation to help them manage their operations and collect data to improve performance. Siemens(Siemens)Use digital twins to manage the entire plant, while GE(GE)A digital twin of jet engine components is built to predict their life and optimize maintenance plans.

Appledore ResearchExpected, to2025In, the digital twin market will reach100USD100mn In Olu, Finland(Oulu)Nokia5GManufacturing centers, using digital twins, automation and other digital solutions, have helped us improve productivity30%And reduce product defects within four years50%。

This metacosmic vision is digital/Entity integration and human enhancement are the products of two broader trends. reach2030In, every physical device that can be connected digitally will be networked. Ultimately, every action in the digital world will have an impact on the physical world, and vice versa.

Therefore, the metauniverse does not rely on virtual reality helmets, but on the integration of multiple complementary technologies, including cloud computing and edge (close to data sources) computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, Internet of Things, virtual reality, augmented reality and digital twins.

The consumer metauniverse will have some wonderful experiences, but the real opportunities will be in the enterprise and industrial metauniverse, where we can meet various global challenges, such as energy transformation, climate change, productivity and growth. Many of these solutions are still in their infancy, but the early signs are promising.

For example, Argonne National Laboratory under the United States Department of Energy(Argonne National Laboratory)A digital twin is being used as part of its next-generation nuclear reactor development. Geological data company Huigu(Fugro)For Australian Electricity CompanyTasNetworksA prototype digital twin was created to display the fire risk posed by vegetation to power lines in real time - this is one of the main causes of wildfires. University of Florida(University of Florida)And Indiana University(Indiana University)The scientists led by our team are building a digital twin of the human immune system. They believe that this will bring a major breakthrough in precision medicine and the treatment of diseases such as cancer and COVID-19.

past times10In, most of our research was devoted to the technology supporting the metauniverse. But it is also about developing a synergy advantage, which means cross-industry cooperation. In society3GUpgrade to4GAt the stage of, technology startups founded in the garage swept the world. But as we move from5Gget into6GDigitalization goes deep into every industry and every aspect of our life. No company can create - or own - all the elements needed. We need to work together to create a metauniverse suitable for everyone.
