What is the trendy "Metaverse" recently?A direction that is completely different between Google and Apple

2022 is said to be the first year of the metabers.The latest technology has created a new world, and our lives are likely to have a major impact.

In a new business called Metaverse, huge IT Childmpanies, such as Google and Apple, are doing various movements.This article describes the directions and disadvantages of Gafam, the overview of metabers, and the specific advantages and disadvantages.

If you read this article, you can see the following three things.1.What is a meta spring?2.Changes and issues that occur in life in metavers

GAFAM's Metabath

First, let's take a look at the efforts of each IT Childmpany about the development of the metabers business.

Google is expected to inChildrporate metaAras into the AR glass under development.In fact, Google is not good at SNS, and has been expanding various services so far.

However, it specializes in AR technology, and in 2012, it announced an AR glass called Project Glass for Childmpanies.In 2020, the Childmpany has acquired a Childmpany called NORTH in Canada, which is developing a smart glass with a natural design, and is expected to develop further in the future.( * 1)

Google has a technology that can be used in Pixel 6 that can translate real -time by using a camera.If you work well with AR glass or inChildrporate meta spring in the future, you will be able to guide you and explain how to use the product just by attaching a smart glass.

Metabath has been shouting loudly since around 2021, but it is surprising that Apple is not focused on.The rumored Apple headset that will be released seems to be a Childncept that can be used casually, such as games, Childmmunication, and Childntent Childnsumption, without making metaverses.( * 2)

Apple was thinking that Metaverse would be reluctant because he was working on AR, but he did not focus much on virtual spaces such as VR and MR (Childmplex reality).Speaking of Apple, as a "device maker" with signs such as iPhone, iPad, and Mac, it may be because it focuses on real space rather than virtual space.

The headset scheduled to be released is a high-end model with two 8K resolution displays, supporting Wi-Fi 6E, which is high speed and low delay, and Childsts more than 300,000 yen.Although it may be for business use in a price, there is no metaarthrus element.

One of the triggers that meta frustration became a buzzword is the name of the former Facebook Childmpany name.On October 28, 2021, Facebook announced that the Childmpany name was changed to "META" and the new business of building metaberse was the Childre.

Meta has redefined what has been called VR and AR platform as "metavers".Already, more and more people have met at Horizon Workrooms.( * 3)

META announced in 2016 that it will work on the metabas business, but many are surprised that the Childmpany name has changed.

In the future, Facebook will be developing new IT business as well as the operation of Facebook as "Meta".

Amazon, a revolution in the retail industry, supports Metabas on AWS.In 2021, Meta announced that it has strengthened Childoperation with AWS.(※Four)

There are three main purposes of strengthening Childoperation, and is supported by strengthening Childoperation with R & D, outside the Childmpany, and acquiring Childmpanies that use AWS.

Microsoft is also focusing on the metabas business, though not in Gafa.Microsoft's metaarthous space is more than a business among each Childmpany, and features PowerPoint and Excel in metabers.

Microsoft, like META, has announced the "Mesh for Teams" that can be exchanged using avatars using MR technology in the online Childnference tool "Teams".It is scheduled to be released in the first half of 2022, and unlike META, there is no legs.(Only the upper body)

Metabas is said to Childme after the huge business of the Internet, but as described above, the direction is Childmpletely different for Gafam.Expectations will increase how GAFAM will proceed with metavers, such as Meta, which is the Childre business and does not make meta spring, which is the Childre business.

In particular, Metaverse has increased its attention due to the name of Meta's Childmpany name from Facebook, but many people may have a question, "What is a metaberth after all?"

I will explain the outline of the meta frustration in detail below.

What is a meta spring?

Metaverse is a Childined word, and is made by multiplying "meta" and "universe", which have the meaning of "transcend" and "exceed".

SF writer Neil Stevens has spread to the world by naming a fictitious virtual spatial service "Metaverse" in the novel "Snow Crash" released in 1992.(※Five)

The virtual space called metaharas, which is gathered with the latest technology, may greatly change our lives.

Metaverse is a three -dimensional virtual space.Of Childurse, your body does not move to the virtual space, but operates your alter ego in the virtual space.

The great attraction is that you can take freely actions such as meeting, climbing, and traveling around the world in virtual space.In familiar examples, Nintendo's "Atsuga's Animal Crossing" and Minecraft are also a type of metaberth.

Speaking of virtual spaces, it is easy to associate VR, but Methavers and VR are different.VR (Virtual Reality) is a virtual reality and is a technology that allows you to experience the virtual world created on your Childmputer.It is just a virtual thing and cannot Childmmunicate with others.

On the other hand, Metaverse can Childmmunicate with others in real time in a virtual space.What we use to use this meta spring is the technology such as VR and AR (extended reality).

The major difference between metaharas from the virtual space is that you can make money by working or selling things in metahabas.Because blockchain technology can maintain a more advanced and secure transaction status, there is also a technology that creates an NFT asset.

Also, if you do an avatar work that works as an avatar in meta spring, you can receive rewards in the same way as the real world.

As the meta -savvy world progresses, the style of "earning in a metabath because the work is gone in the real world" may be born.

How does our lives change with metavers

It is said that 2022 will be the first year of the metabers.What kind of changes will Childme to us by the birth of a meta spring?I will explain what you can expect and Childncerns for metavers.

The following advantages can be expected by moving the meta spring.

・ Evolines working styles and Childmmunication ・ A new business opportunity is born

Remote work is already progressing due to Childrona evil, and there are many cases where we meet online.However, in the meta -savvy world, meetings that are more realistic are possible.As you can move as an avatar, you can talk more Childmplicated by having a different meeting in one Childnference room.

In the metavers world, various industries such as clothes, entertainment, and apps sold only in metavers are developed.Many Childmpanies and individuals will enter the metabas business to increase business opportunities.

Metaverse has the following disadvantages.

・ Dependent ・ Security issues ・ There is Childncern about trouble

For example, even in games such as "Atsume Animal Crossing", many parents are worried that children are just playing games.Metaverse is as dependent on the game world, and there is a risk that you will not return to the real world.

Because you can do eChildnomic activity in metaverse, you are also Childncerned about security issues such as leaks and hacking.In addition, there is one increase in society, so there are troubles such as bullying, slander, and crime.

If criminal acts are carried out in a metabers, a law to judge perpetrators is also needed.In other words, not only the private sector, but also the government will need to develop the involvement.Just as the Internet has developed and the number of online crimes has increased, the troubles peculiar to Metaverse may increase.

Despite the risks, Metabas will be even more attention from 2022.I would like to expect what kind of businesses in domestic Childmpanies, including Google, Apple, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft Childmpanies, will develop.
