The metaverse is undoubtedly one of the hottest terms in the field of digital economy in the past two years. "The hottest topic this year is the rise of the industrial metaverse." At the "Tech Talk Metaverse Technology and Industry Forum" held on December 7th at the 2023 World 5G Conference, Zhang Xinsheng, Secretary General of the Communication Technology Committee of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, came straight to the point. He said that according to Gartner, a global consulting firm, 47% of companies will actively enter the industrial metaverse by 2027, adopting technologies such as big connectivity, computing power, and digital twins. "This is the most noteworthy and grasping development trend of the metaverse after a period of technological precipitation," said Zhang Xinsheng. In September this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and five other departments jointly issued the "Three Year Action Plan for Innovation and Development of the Metaverse Industry (2023-2025)". The document points out that the metaverse is an immersive interconnected space that integrates the digital and physical worlds, a future industry for the integration, innovation, and application of new generation information technology, and a high-level form of integration between the digital economy and the real economy. It is expected to lead the development of the next generation of the Internet through the promotion of virtual and real, accelerate the upgrading of high-end, intelligent, and green manufacturing, and support the construction of a modern industrial system. "The metaverse can be divided into industrial metaverse, enterprise metaverse, and consumer metaverse." According to Wei Jianhui, Chief Technology Officer of Nokia Bell Mobile Network Business Unit in Shanghai, the industrial metaverse mainly involves the interaction between virtual and real industries and digital twins, which will bring huge potential for cost reduction and efficiency improvement to the industry; The enterprise metaverse mainly covers immersive team collaboration, digital collaborative design, and augmented reality training and learning; The consumption metaverse is currently the most discussed, such as immersive games, augmented reality business interactions, virtual tourism, and so on. Wei Jianhui believes that compared to the consumer metaverse, the industrial metaverse has greater development potential. He cited relevant reports stating that, relying on the demand for digital transformation, the improvement of network capabilities, and the inclusiveness of terminals, the revenue of the industrial metaverse is expected to increase tenfold from 2021 to 2030. "For the industrial metauniverse, the key to its development is a stable and high bandwidth connection network, as well as digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, industrial Internet of Things, cloud and edge computing, virtual engine, blockchain, etc." said Wei Jianhui. "In the context of the explosive development of virtual reality, human-computer interaction, and the new generation of artificial intelligence technology, the flourishing development of the metaverse and artificial intelligence technology has made the future digital survival full of huge imagination space," said Yu Tao, an assistant researcher at Tsinghua University. Specifically, at the level of virtual and real interaction, digital avatars support natural interaction and communication across time and space; At the level of experiential interaction, the transformation of multi-layer metaverse technology has opened up deep immersive interactive experiences, achieving multimodal integration across the entire field; At the level of interactive production, generative artificial intelligence supports the fully automatic generation of massive content in the metaverse; At the level of autonomous interaction, the flourishing development of big models and cognitive intelligence endows the metaverse with the ability to evolve super intelligence, opening up a diverse parallel world and creating personalized digital worlds for different people. As the highly anticipated upgraded version of 5G, 5G-A's extension of the metaverse is equally significant. Wei Jianhui explained that 5G-A can be improved
