Internet giant Baidu held the Baidu Create Conference (AI Developer Conference) yesterday (27th) in the company's Metaverse product Xiang. It is China's first technology conference held in the form of Metaverse. It is said that the number of people who can be online at the same time will reach 100,000.

Baidu founder Robin Li pointed out in the opening speech of the conference that human-computer symbiosis will enter our lives: China has massive data and rich application scenarios, and at the same time has strong support from the policy level. China is about to usher in an AI industry explosion. golden 10 years. In the next 10 years, AI will become a powerful tool to change the world. Thousands of industries will be restructured, people's living space will be greatly expanded, and the value of technology will be fully exploited.

It also stated that in the next five years, 5 million AI talents will be cultivated around eight key technologies including autonomous driving, machine translation, biological computing, deep learning framework, digital city, knowledge management, AI chips, and personal intelligent assistants.

**Collaborating with NVIDIA to build an AI metaverse**

At the meeting, **NVIDIA** (NVIDIA) Asia Pacific President Raymond Teh was also invited to attend and delivered a keynote speech on joining hands with Baidu to create an AI universe, officially establishing a partnership.

The reason why NVIDIA's Metaverse is more convincing is that their strength is to solve computing power problems. Compared with the application levels such as games and social networking that the market focuses on, NVIDIA is more inclined to the underlying needs of the Metaverse and provides structural virtualization. Space technology platform

NVIDIA’s Omniverse
The Avatar platform is the best illustration of powerful computing power. The platform opens the door to creating virtual assistants that can be deployed in almost any industry. Nvidia envisions the technology helping with a wide range of customer service interactions, such as restaurant orders, appointments and reservations, banking transactions, and more.

NVIDIA launched the Omniverse beta version in October 2020. Currently, more than 17,000 customers have tested it, including BMW, Ericsson, Volvo, Adobe, and Epic.
Many companies, including Games, are participating in Omniverse cooperation.

**Poor user experience**

However, it is reported that the virtual city of Xiyang carries a beautiful vision of connecting reality and virtuality. However, many users have found that creating virtual characters, moving in multiple scenes, real-time conversations, socializing and other activities are not mentioned in the metaverse. In Xirang's experience, the results presented are still very preliminary.

Similar to most games, after creating a Xiyang account, the system will ask the player to generate a digital clone; however, the overall process of generating a character is not smooth, with slow voice recognition, insensitive button presses, and rough and single modeling. It turns out that everyone actually looks the same. almost.

In addition, within the system, although players can control the character's actions by sliding the steering wheel, they are limited to running back, forth, left, and right, and cannot talk to others even if they turn on the microphone. There are many bugs like this, such as one’s own legs cannot be seen from the first perspective, the model-crossing phenomenon occurs when characters overlap, the body of a person walking on the lawn will be covered by the scene, the person walks directly through the wall from the balcony of the building to the ground, there is no The character is still inaccessible despite obstacles...

There are various signs that Xirang is still in a semi-finished state that lacks interactivity and third-party developed applications, which can easily give users a negative impression of having nothing.

According to reports, Xirang opened internal testing as early as a month ago, and users can use the invitation code to experience Baidu Yuanverse first. Most users experience that the technology is not in place and the content is not rich enough. At present, the App has been removed from the Apple and Google play stores, and the ratings on other download channels that can be found are generally lower than 3 points.

**Response from Baidu Vice President**

Baidu did not respond directly to the accusations of too many bugs and single scenarios. However, Baidu Vice President Ma Jie said on December 21 that after more than a year of development and testing, Xirang’s version number is still a negative number, and there are still many imperfections. It is still far from the goal we envisioned. space.

He believes that under the current network technology conditions, vision, hearing and interactivity are the three major obstacles hindering the development of the Metaverse, and the challenges brought by technical difficulties are very great. But Ma Jie believes that in 5 years, most of the above problems will be significantly improved, just like Xirang is still a rough semi-finished product now, but it will become complete in 6 years. He added: It was difficult for people to imagine what the Internet would develop into 20 years ago. The Metaverse may also surpass our imagination in the future. This is precisely its greatest charm.

At present, according to the specific application scenarios listed on Xirang’s official website, they include VR education, VR marketing, VR cloud exhibitions, etc. It can be seen that the current focus of implementation is on enterprise business. According to the official description of the concept of brand space, Xirang can provide virtual space customization functions. In the customized space, brands can hold large-scale events with multiple people online at the same time without space restrictions, and can also provide one-on-one customer service.
