HTC Huang Zhaoying: The Metaverse is the Next Generation of Internet B-end Applications Starting to Grow

On May 30th, at the recently held Zhongguancun Forum, HTC Global Vice President Huang Zhaoying, Global Sales and Marketing Director, stated: The metaverse is the next generation of the internet, which will bring more applications and generate greater economic value than the current internet. We must use technologies such as AR, VR, 5G, artificial intelligence, and blockchain as the underlying foundation to construct a metaverse ecosystem that includes software, hardware, content, and platforms, further enhancing users' immersive experience, and promoting industrial upgrading in various industries in the metaverseAt this exhibition, HTC showcased the latest XR all-in-one machine - the VIVEXR Elite Set, which features a lightweight and compact body, flexible and variable forms, rich MR functions, diverse content ecology, and the latest standards such as Wi Fi 6E, allowing consumers to embrace the XR experience in multiple settings such as learning, work, and entertainment

At this exhibition, HTC showcased the latest XR all-in-one machine - the VIVEXR Elite Set, which features a lightweight and compact body, flexible and variable forms, rich MR functions, diverse content ecology, and the latest standards such as Wi Fi 6E, allowing consumers to embrace the XR experience in multiple settings such as learning, work, and entertainment. In addition, the VIVEXR Elite Suite is also suitable for enterprise users, bringing more possibilities for innovative management of B-end enterprises.

In terms of industry applications, in the field of medical education, HTCVIVE showcases a virtual simulation medical basic education application jointly developed with Baike Biology. With the VIVEXR Elite Suite, high-definition restored human specimens can be viewed in the virtual specimen exhibition hall, supporting mobile zoom to view details, 3D annotation display of key anatomical structures, and VR/MR one click switch display, creating a new way of basic medical education. In the industrial field, HTCVIVE showcases the application scenarios of industrial metaverse technology in the design and development process, as well as innovative applications in production and manufacturing, using new energy vehicles and automotive welding production lines as examples.

In an interview with reporters, Huang Zhaoying stated that VR is definitely not just an animation or constructing a virtual community. He believes that "to build a virtual space, consumers ultimately need to see what they can do inside, where their value lies, whether there are services or applications. However, this aspect is currently lacking. Therefore, HTC places more emphasis on building an ecosystem step by step

In Huang Zhaoying's view, the metaverse is the next generation of the internet. It will bring more applications and generate greater economic value than the current internet.

The metaverse has solved several problems: firstly, it solves the problem of remote communication in different places, which also brings efficiency improvements. Secondly, it is something that cannot be done or is not easy to do in the real world. After wearing VR glasses, it also brings learning efficiency improvements. Thirdly, it is a new experience that can only be achieved in three-dimensional space or immersive space, such as art, industrial design, digital twins, etc

Therefore, in terms of application, HTC believes that it is necessary to build an ecosystem that includes software, hardware, content, and platforms based on AR, VR, 5G, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technologies, which are important components of building the next generation of the Internet.

Here, Huang Zhaoying talked about the recent development of AI big models that have received attention, which will also provide better technical support for the metaverse. For example, we will apply many AI algorithms in generating digital humans. We are already discussing whether AI intelligent humans can answer questions, guide, receive customers, and so on in the virtual world and metaverse. This will definitely use a lot of AI technology in it, "Huang Zhaoying emphasized," so it is not a conflicting concept

At present, there are many metaverse applications in the B-end industry, including medical, exhibition, industrial design, automotive design, architectural design, etc. The new applications in the metaverse have played a significant role in improving communication efficiency and reducing costs. Therefore, more and more enterprises are willing to join the technological applications of the metaverse.

Not only that, Huang Zhaoying also stated that he is very concerned about the current domestic product design. In his opinion, in terms of software content, the quality can be compared to other countries' first-class products.

At the same time, with the acceleration of China's industrial Digital transformation, the Metauniverse is also expected to promote high-quality development of the industry. Public information shows that at present, 17 provinces and cities in China have issued a total of 47 policies and reports on the metauniverse at the provincial and urban levels. It is clear that the model of "metauniverse+industry" will be used to gather digital production factors, activate data potential, build a digital twin space, and "from reality to fiction" will deeply combine the whole industrial scene with the real economy, accelerate the process of industrialization and Digital transformation, and reconstruct the new ecology of digital economy development.

In the past, the physical manufacturing industry may have encountered problems with resources, time, manpower, and so on. However, in the metaverse, these problems are relatively easy to solve, and it is actually a new window. In this regard, Huang Zhaoying believes that: "In the virtual world and the metaverse world, if we can truly achieve connectivity, we can break through some of the restrictions on physical trade barriers now
