2、参与者类型及竞合关系
2, types of participants and competing relationships
从公司背景分,元宇宙主要包括四类参与者:互联网厂商、硬件技术厂商、软件技术厂、新创业者(如图29)。
From corporate background xff0c; the metacosystem consists mainly of four categories of participants xff1a; Internet manufacturers, hardware technology manufacturers, software technology plants, new entrepreneurs xff08; figure 29 xff09;
在元宇宙未来的版图中,这四类企业之间更多的是合作关系,每种类型的企业之间会有更强的竞争关系。
In the map of the future of the meta-cosmos & #xff0c; the four types of enterprises are more cooperative & #xff0c; there will be stronger competitive relationships between each type of enterprise.
第一类,互联网厂商,包括美国的Meta,Google,Amazon,中国的百度、阿里巴巴、腾讯等。这些互联网企业大都拥有元宇宙所需的多项技术、现有的庞大用户基础、以及丰富的应用场景,同时也在多方位的着手元宇宙布局。在元宇宙未来的版图里,大概率还是会占据元宇宙平台建设者和大一统社区缔造者的角色。
第二类,软件公司,代表企业Microsoft,在元宇宙的四层都有布局,目前侧重于企业元宇宙。在未来的元宇宙世界,微软和互联网公司之间还是会有较多竞争。在接入层、平台层、网络技术层,微软和互联网企业都有布局,会形成竞争局面。在应用层面,微软侧重企业元宇宙,其他互联网企业目前的重点是消费者元宇宙,但多数也在服务企业市场,未来的竞争会趋于激烈。
第三类,硬件公司,代表企业英伟达。英伟达(NVIDIA)在AI和高性能计算以及芯片领域的深厚积累,是其布局元宇宙底层技术的坚实基础。2021年下半年,英伟达宣布全球首个为元宇宙建立提供基础的模拟和协作平台Omniverse,向数百万新用户开放。Omniverse以其高效、低成本特征,在建筑、传媒、产品设计、自动驾驶等多个领域得到快速应用,并与第三方数字内容创建工具(DCC)以及基于Omniverse的微服务构成了Omniverse的生态。
