什麼是「元宇宙」?

|

元宇宙預示著一場數位與科技革命。大型企業已經理解這一點,並開始鋪路。透過更改公司名稱,Facebook 已確認這個新興未來的重要性。但元宇宙究竟意味著什麼?又是什麼造成了如此巨大的聲量? 

元宇宙的定義 

元宇宙尚未真正存在,儘管一些電玩開發商與企業已聲稱正在加以運用。因此,目前並沒有該術語的實際定義。儘管如此,它通常被定義為一個虛擬世界,在其中人們可以擁有與現實生活相同的體驗。換言之,它是現實的虛擬呈現。 

人類將由其數位化身(avatar)來代表。他們將能與真實世界的數位孿生互動。這與元宇宙並不相同;元宇宙無非是我們所生活之同一世界的數位版本。我們所熟知的虛擬實境(VR)通常指的是一個與我們世界相似的世界。換句話說,它可以看起來像,但不一定完全相同。 

因此,虛擬化身可以進行同樣的活動,例如工作、與人會面、參加演唱會,甚至購物。還要注意的是,元宇宙是持續存在的。簡單來說,每個行動都是同步且即時發生的。因而,使用者不需要重新開啟新階段、從頭開始體驗,因為生活會像現實世界一樣持續進行。 

  • 網際網路的具現化? 

有些人將元宇宙定義為網際網路的化身或演進。作為提醒,網際網路是一個國際電信系統,讓人們能存取各種資料並與他人溝通。類似地,未來的虛擬世界也提出一個人們可以社交並存取資料的領域。 

最大的差異在於,使用者不再受限於螢幕,而是可以透過其化身與其他人或物件互動。它以 AR 與 VR 頭戴裝置及控制器等技術,取代電腦、智慧型手機與平板。 

元宇宙的起源 

「metaverse(元宇宙)」一詞出自 Neal Stephenson,他在小說《Snow Crash》(1992)中首次描述此概念。在 21 世紀初,世界經濟崩潰,而少數巨型企業從中獲利。人們在虛擬世界中尋求逃避,並可透過配戴眼鏡與耳機的個人化化身進入其中。 

元宇宙中有一條主幹道,連接遊樂園、商店、辦公室與娛樂複合設施。但如同現實世界,較富有的人輕視中產階級,並享有更先進的技術。此外,在虛擬世界中實施的行為可能造成現實後果,例如會損害使用者大腦的電腦病毒。 

儘管作者將元宇宙描繪為危險概念,我們必須承認,他的整體描述與當今世界相呼應。明日的虛擬世界將如同今日般呈現自然世界,並由每個人的數位化身共同參與。使用者可以進行相同的活動。 

  • 從幻想到現實 

多家公司正利用 Stephenson 的概念打造元宇宙平台。Second Life 多年來一直是此領域的參考標竿。它創建於 2003 年,提供一個虛擬環境,讓使用者可依需求建立即時體驗。但隨著時間推移,全球對元宇宙的看法已演變,使 Second Life 的吸引力降低。 

有些人將其描述為各種虛擬體驗的集合,另一些人則偏好將其定義為虛擬與擴增實境。如今,多數公司與 Marc Zuckerberg 的定義保持一致,這也推升了人們對這項技術的興趣。確實是 Meta 的掌舵者將其定義為網際網路的新概念。 

元宇宙如何運作? 

讓我們回顧一下:在元宇宙中,人們可透過自己的化身與虛擬世界互動,並執行會產生現實影響的行動。要實現這點,需依賴多項技術。 

  • 硬體 

雖然元宇宙、虛擬實境與擴增實境的定義有所不同,但 AR 與 VR 將是未來虛擬世界的關鍵組成。VR 頭戴裝置、AR 眼鏡、手機與電腦都將扮演角色。它們共同使使用者得以在任何時刻具身化並與環境互動。 

  • 虛擬身體與世界 

再者,元宇宙是對真實世界的數位再現。這表示它將擁有與原始世界相同的地景、建築、物件與人。其設計因此建立在可創建此虛擬世界的技術之上。例如,可利用製圖與 3D 建模來設計數位孿生,或使用 Soul Machines 打造數位人類。 

  • 虛擬資產 

我們先前提到在元宇宙中進行購買的可能性。然而,需注意這與線上購物並不相同。商品化將依賴區塊鏈技術,例如非同質化代幣(NFT)。如同加密貨幣,這是一種安全的數位資產,可對應到數位財產(藝術作品、不動產等)。可以說,NFT 會是一種數位產權憑證,用以證明元宇宙中資產的買賣。 

例如,Metaverse Properties 自稱為全球首家虛擬房地產公司。它提供在多個虛擬世界中販售住宅、商業空間或協作空間。另一方面,Nike 的 RTFKT 正運用相同的 NFT、區塊鏈與擴增實境技術來製作虛擬球鞋。 

元宇宙與 AI 

AI(人工智慧)是元宇宙的另一項關鍵組成。它有助於改善我們剛提到的所有其他面向。確實,AI 有能力讓硬體更強大,並加速虛擬世界的設計流程。 

此外,要讓元宇宙成為多感官與多維度的環境,數項 AI 技術將不可或缺。例如,電腦視覺或自然語言處理。藉由這些創新,數位化身以及虛擬世界的所有組件都能自然互動。 

我們也要注意,所有數位事物都對應到資料。我們世界的虛擬版本意味著需要管理龐大的資料量。人工智慧提供了運用這些資料,以及元宇宙中產生之所有資料所需的全部能力。
