In 1992, Neal Stephenson's science fiction novel "Snow Crash" introduced the concepts of "metaverse" and "avatar". The plot of the book takes place in a future setting where real humans live in a virtual space with virtual humans via VR devices.
In 2020, under the new epidemic quarantine policy, the online practice of the whole society grows significantly, the "home economy" develops rapidly, and the online life becomes the norm from the previous short period of exception, changing from a supplement to the real world to a parallel world with the real world. Connecting Online and offline, the real life of human beings has started to migrate to the virtual world on a large scale. Human beings are becoming an amphibious species of reality and digital. The virtual is no longer spurious, much less irrelevant.
2021, the first year of the meta-universe.
Meta-universe is a new type of virtual-real Internet application and social form generated by integrating multiple new technologies. It provides immersive experience based on extended reality technology, generates a mirror image of the real world based on digital twin technology, and builds an economic system based on blockchain technology. Meta-universe closely integrates the virtual world with the real world in terms of economic system, social system and identity system, and allows each user to produce content and world editing.
Meta-universe is still a growing, evolving concept, and different participants keep enriching its meaning in their own ways.
What should my home in the metaverse look like?
Will it be decorated with a lot of equipment and NFT collections like a museum of human civilization, or will it be like the most Wabi-sabi garden scene on earth? Is it an augmented reality that is closely related to our real world, or a completely virtual time travel? Is it a social time square full of massive information, or is it a harbor or a light to soothe your soul?
AIM invites you to become the first metaverse architect. You can design your home in any scenario and any time, medieval castle, Jurassic Park, Westworld, Inception, Warcraft, Marvel Universe, or travel to the Spring and Autumn Warring States, Three Kingdoms era, the Age of Sail, the Age of Mars, and so on.
In the world of metaverse, when gravity and capital no longer become the primary conditions limiting construction, will architecture become more human-oriented? When structure and material are more arbitrary, will designers have more energy to focus on the psychological demands of users?
How can the eight elements of immersion, virtual image, home space, teleportation, interoperability, privacy and security, virtual objects, and natural surfaces be reflected in the metaverse?
We expect creative designers to create new spatial logic, application scenarios in the metaverse environment, and even reconstruct metaverse architecture and living philosophy, becoming the pioneers and founders of this field.
Come on. Let's start a new era of metaverse voyage together and go full speed ahead to the unknown sea!
