How China can change metaverse game?

Metaverse

Metaverse, Metaverse, Metaverse!! Why everyone is talking about it? No matter how hard I try to ignore this creepy word, It bounces back with bunch of more stupidity attached to it. The usage of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets makes the metaverse a hypothetical version of the Internet as a single, ubiquitos, and immersive virtual environment, possible. 

The metaverse is often interpreted as a graphically rich virtual environment with a degree of verisimilitude where people can work, play, shop, interact, and generally do activities together that people enjoy doing in real life (or, perhaps more to the point, on the internet). It wasn't until Facebook changed its corporate name to Meta in October 2021 that the phrase "Metaverse" started to catch on. At that time, the business disclosed plans to invest $10 billion in technology over the following year in order to realise its metaverse goal. 

The metaverse is viewed as the next step in the development of the internet. It will manifest itself in a variety of ways, such as in gaming, online forums, and professional settings where participants interact with a digital replica or avatar of themselves.

Metaverse Troubles 

People can interact with computer-generated environments and other users in the metaverse, loosely defined virtual reality environment. Although the concept is still in its infancy, the phrase, which first appeared in Neal Stephenson's science-fiction book Snow Crash in 1992, has emerged over the past year as a hot tech subject in both China and the United States. The metaverse, however, has not yet been mentioned in any documents published by the Chinese central government.

According to Nina Xiang, a Chinese technology specialist "The central government is still taking a wait-and-see attitude (with the metaverse) studying it more and weighing the advantages and downsides before coming out with an official statements". 

What may the metaverse censorship of Chine look like? Beijing has always maintained a zera-tolerance policy toward politically sensitive information on the internet, from online debates of the Russia-Ukraine war to Covid 19 lockdown protests. Nothing will change in the metaverse. Beijing will continue to regulate questionable conduct, direct the applications of technology toward state objectives, and employ technology to achieve ideological goals. 

Parallel Metaverses

The United States will probably follow a free-market approach to the metaverse, allowing businesses to investigate all perspectives from a consumer or enterprise standpoint, according to Xian in Parallel Metaverses: How the US, China, and the rest of the world are shaping different virtual worlds. But she believes Beijing will use technology in China to advance the "real" economy. Beijing will accept the metaverse as long as it advances the nation's objectives of economic growth and social stability, Xiang said in her book, adding that tight regulations will be put in place to prevent any possible harm, such as fraud and "excessive capital expansion". 

We may anticipate that Chinese leaders will support its development as a tool for tasks like enhancing government services and manufacturing productivity as well as for researching the Communist Party's past.

AI in 2025-2026: The Dawn of a Smarter Era

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept. It is now at the core of business, science, healthcare, and even our daily lives. As we move into 2025-2026, the rapid advancements in AI are reshaping industries and opening new opportunities that were once unimaginable.  1. Generative AI Matures By 2026, generative AI has evolved beyond simple text or image generation. Today's models can create multimodal content seamlessly combining text. images, video, voice, and even 3D models. Businesses are leveraging this power for marketing campaigns, product design, and personalized customer engagement. 2. AI in the Workplace AI is no longer just an assistant, it is a co-worker. From drafting reports to managing schedules, AI systems now handle repetitive tasks, allowing professionals to focus on creativity and strategy. Companies are also deploying AI copilots across departments, making decision-making faster and more data-driven. 3. Healthcare Revolution AI driven diagnosti...

Agricultural Robots: Do we really need them?

Robotics and Artificial Intelligence  Artificial intelligence and big data are reshaping traditional businesses. Robotics and artificial intelligence are two areas that are linked but not the same. It is the design of robots to do tasks autonomously whereas AI is how systems mimic the human mind to make judgments and learn. While robotics can have an AI component (vice versa), both can and generally do exist independently. AI simplifies big data analytics by automating and improving data preparation, data visualization, predictive modelling and other complicated analytical operations that would otherwise be time-consuming and labor-intensive. If you have no knowledge about bigdata, it is okay. Big data is the gasoline that powers AI. Large volumes of different data allow machine learning systems to perform what they were supposed to do: learn and master a skill. The more data the AI has access to, the more it can learn and enhance its pattern detection capabilities.  After yea...

The Holographic Frontier: Redefining Physical Engagement at Live Events

  For years, the success of a tech conference was measured by a simple checklist: big-name speakers, a packed exhibitor hall, and after-parties with decent WiFi. Attendees would flock in, exchange a flurry of business cards, have dozens of promising conversations, and then... nothing. The connections would fade, the momentum would stall, and the vibrant community built over three days would dissipate into a few forgotten LinkedIn connections. The event became a moment in time, not a movement.  But a seismic shift is underway. The most forward-thinking event organizers are no longer selling tickets to a physical (or virtual) gathering. They are building ecosystems. And the secret weapon in this new arms race? The transition from a temporary event app to a year-round community platform. The Glaring Gap in the Event Experience Think about the traditional event lifecycle: Months of Hype:  A relentless drumbeat of marketing emails and social posts. The Main Event:  A fren...
