What does it take to make the metaverse work?

A transposition of ourselves into the virtual world, this is what a definition of metaverse could then be. But if that’s the case, it’s pretty clear why we’ll have to wait much longer before we see it come true. The project is ambitious, and requires quite a few efforts on the part of sector companies even before users. “We need different technologies to make the metaverse (or whatever it’s called) work – Chiriatti reiterates.
-. First, you need connectivity, 5G or 6G that will be. Then we need theedge computing, which allows data to be processed closer to where it is generated so as to improve traffic to and from and the cloud. And then we need to storage to hold the data. Furthermore, the rise of the metaverse will undoubtedly lead to an increase in the number of gods data centersto
demonstration of the fact that a futuristic and virtual world still needs infrastructure
physical to become reality. It is precisely these areas that we are engaged at Lenovo and it is here
that our technological solutions are decisive“.

Not only Vr or Ar viewers for accessing the metaverse, therefore, because it is “It is also important to ensure ownership of the digital object in a decentralized way, to allow people and organizations to enter into agreements and record information permanently without the need for a central authority. And then finally, we need artificial intelligence”. As complex as it may seem to understand, the binomial metaverse-Ai will prove crucial for the purpose of implementing the project launched by Meta last October 2021.

“Take the metaverse and artificial intelligence: there’s a very different space-time relationship
between them – explains Massimo Chiriatti -. In the metaverse a avatars represents the spatial alteration of a person reacting in real time. In the case of AI, it is the opposite: it collects data from the past, analyzes it and uses it later to create future forecasts. Here then is that Ai is fundamental because we can no longer afford not to have correlations, predictions and content generation. And in an immaterial world like that of the metaverse, it is natural that the generation of content belongs to the machine rather than ourselves”. In this sense, AI will be essential to develop everything that we will then use in the digital world. But not now, but in the near future.

The realization of the project takes time, but what matters is to really understand what the metaverse can really be, so as to guess what it can become. “The metaverse is potentially a world where people will be decoupled from their actions, like when a doctor works remotely, we can have another person or a machine impersonate the agent, i.e. an avatar. So what can happen in a world like this? Virtually allor”.
