元宇宙
元宇宙(粵拼:jyun4 jyu5 zau6;英文:metaverse,嚟自 meta 同 universe 嘅結合)係廿一世紀初興起嘅一個資訊科技諗頭。根據元宇宙嘅諗頭,任何現實嘅嘢都可以用電腦創造嘅虛擬嘢取代[註 1]:有資訊科技工作者就想建立一個由虛擬實境(VR)同擴張實境(AR)組成嘅虛擬世界,用呢個虛擬世界做互聯網嘅延伸-用家唔淨只可以喺呢個世界裏面郁動,仲有得透過個世界玩遊戲同埋使用第啲互聯網服務,例如網購同社交媒體呀噉,做到近乎「完全齋靠個虛擬世界生活」咁滯;元宇宙相關嘅諗頭,好多時仲會結合埋 AI 技術,打算做到(例如)「教部電腦透過 VR 頭罩睇用家眉頭眼額,按用家情緒決定要點樣改變用家體驗」[1][2]。

有唔少資訊科技工作者主張,元宇宙會引起互聯網科技嘅大變。而喺 2021 年,Facebook 嘅創辦人朱克伯格將佢間公司嘅名改做 Meta 平台[歐 2],反映佢開發元宇宙嘅決心,結合電腦科學同人機互動等多個領域嘅研究者一齊研發元宇宙。
基礎概念
[編輯]元宇宙嘅諗頭可見於 1992 年嘅科幻長篇小說《雪崩》[歐 3]。據講本小說係噉描述元宇宙嘅[3]:

基礎技術
[編輯]要做到「令用家完全投入個虛擬世界」,元宇宙起碼要用以下呢啲技術:
- 虛擬實境頭罩,用嚟向用家呈現個虛擬世界嘅圖像同聲。
- 觸控用家介面,畀用家感受「掂到」虛擬世界嘅物件[5]。
- 腦機介面(BCI),可以內置喺個頭罩裏面,畀用家齋靠諗嘢嚟控制虛擬世界嘅嘢。
- 加密電子貨幣同 NFT,方便用家喺虛擬世界裏面做買賣[6]。
- 智能感應器
- 擴張實境
... 呀噉。
營銷技術
[編輯]元宇宙係個完全由電腦控制嘅虛擬空間。噉即係話,運作元宇宙嘅人可以隨意攞元宇宙入面嘅任何資訊,而呢點可以攞嚟落廣告[7]:
- 眼動追蹤[歐 5]:用嚟探測用家對眼望緊乜,可以用嚟攞到「虛擬世界裏面嘅呢個廣告有幾多人睇」噉嘅資訊;Meta 平台跟住可以將呢啲資訊賣畀第啲企業,畀後者用嚟做落廣告方面嘅商業決策[8]。
- 情感運算[歐 6]:假如用家嘅 VR 頭罩能夠探測用家嘅情緒(可以睇吓 HRV 等嘅概念),就可以攞嚟(例如)探知用家對某幅廣告有咩情緒反應,而呢點可以用嚟評估一個廣告係咪有效[9]。
- 大數據:可以用嚟分析用家嘅行為,細至「用咗幾多時間摷有關呢隻呢隻產品嘅資訊」都可以分析。
例如附圖 1 噉:附圖 1 顯示個人戴住 VR 頭罩體驗個虛擬世界;想像如果個虛擬世界係元宇宙,玩家可以透過操作個世界入面嘅物件嚟做網購,而且再想像(例如)個頭罩內置眼動追蹤,識探測用家對眼望緊邊,知用家望緊元宇宙邊忽,將「位用家用咗幾多秒望呢幅呢幅廣告」等嘅數據傳返去 Meta 平台嘅數據庫度。順帶一提,有好多人都係因為「元宇宙太易畀營銷工作者攞數據同埋操弄消費者」,所以唔睇好元宇宙[10]。
