At 2 p.m. on the 27th, Baidu CEO Robin Li appeared on time at the Greek meeting, wearing a black and gray shirt, blue shirt, and brown leather shoes. The appearance of the real character is not affected by the virtual space. .

Developers, such as Kevin Kelly, love the TV screen in the meta world, which acts as a news site that writes and broadcasts game screens.

As Li Yanhong said, “Our meeting is a dream and a reality.

Escape the meta world

In recent years, Baidu has gradually fallen in the ranks of the Chinese Internet market, and the original "BAT" (Baidu Ababa Tencent) has now been replaced by the new "BAT" (Byte Beat Alibaba Tencent).

Competition on the mobile Internet is at its height and users are raving about new technologies, "immersion", virtual interactions, the next generation of the Internet ... the hype of the meta-universe.

In the age of meta-globalization, Greece embraces Baidu's high-tech ambitions to some extent.

In this way, Bytedance acquired VR R&D hardware and software maker Pico for a hefty price, and Tencent executives said in their third quarter financial report, “We expect AR, VR and other technologies make users more productive and transparent. hot ideas from space, hopefully we can use AI and other currencies. ; Recently, when NetEase Yun went public in Hong Kong, two crooks, Ding Lei, were featured on Metaverse's “Yaotai”, and recently a NetEase business forum was held on “Yaotai”.

Greece, nicknamed the “Meta Universe”, is known as the first meta-global product for the country of large companies on the Internet.

In terms of promotion, using the Metaverse requires expertise, electronic games, communications and electronics, Internet of Things, blockchain, interactive technology, etc. Baidu Greece's vice president and CEO Ma Jie previously said that Baidu's Metaverse-related products and technology are primarily focused on AI, cloud computing and virtual reality.

Some reporters commented on social media platforms after attending a conference in Greece that Baidu's Al technology was created. To become a China Al infrastructure expert, rankings are a number one factor, but you have to add some requirements. .

However, the metaverse is often viewed as a theory of market capitalization, and the concept has yet to be backed by a solid foundation for it to work properly. Like this developer forum, online conferencing will be one of the evolving concepts of the metaverse.

Like Meta, Microsoft and others have suggested that immersive meetings can be part of the "meta-world." Netease Fuxi's chief interviewer Shenxiu previously told reporters from the Research and Research Council that he hoped electronic devices would be relevant, as the pinching of the face can be combined with the operation and l 'landing. in certain circumstances. In particular, the “Yaotai” metaverse needs to be improved in the direction of online dating and online presentation.

Ma Jie also noted that Metaverse is still in the early stages of market research, development is slow, and it will take a long time for all communities to develop and grow together.

“We believe that small businesses shouldn't spend their money after they've built a platform, built everything from scratch and set up. Entrepreneurs can come up with a variety of ideas and commands. Create content and gameplay. "There are great opportunities for big business. . I think it's a better ecosystem to better help developers. "
