Hello everyone, I'm the Metaverse Detective. Have you ever thought about this: if one day, we put on our VR glasses ready to explore the metaverse, only to find there's no universal entry point like a browser, and each platform is like an isolated app, making it a hassle to go anywhere - doesn't that feel like going back to the prehistoric era of dial-up internet?

Recently, a name that sounds like it's straight out of a sci-fi movie has appeared in the real world: the National Animation Park Metaverse Innovation Center has officially launched in Tianjin Binhai New Area. This isn't just another tech buzzword repetition, but a true leap from research to practice.

When you think of West Lake, what comes to mind? The Broken Bridge in snow, the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, or the thousand-year-old romantic legend of the White Snake and Xu Xian? This story has been heard since childhood, and every time I visit West Lake, I can't help but hear the phrase 'waiting for a thousand years' in my mind. But what if I told you that in the future, when you visit West Lake, you won't just 'see' the scenery, but actually 'enter' the White Snake's world, and even have a 'transcendent' romance with her - wouldn't that sound incredible?

Still using bulky VR headsets to 'travel' to the digital world? Recently, Robert Klarich, Etsy co-founder and former CEO, seems to have had enough, choosing another 'niche route' that mimics real tools - developing a mobile XR device that looks like a magnifying glass.

If Roblox and Fortnite are the 'golden tracks' of the metaverse era, then more and more UGC creators are quietly carving out their own 'diamond-level battlefield' outside these major platforms.

In Shanghai, there's never a shortage of testing grounds for new terms - from AI large models to smart IoT, every move sets trends. Recently, Shanghai's 'Challenge List' initiative, which sounds overly bureaucratic, has also sparked heated discussion in tech circles: it might point to the starting point of metaverse moving from concept to practical application.

On May 28, 2024, the global launch of 'Nezha 5DVR' was grandly held at Tian'an Cloud Valley Industrial Park in Longgang District, Shenzhen. This event, jointly hosted by Xinhua News, Shidai Technology, Manggo Animation, and Yinglian Technology, not only marks the birth of China's first 5DVR cultural tourism project centered on the Nezha mythological IP, but also represents a two-way journey of technology and culture.

With Meta Quest 3 headsets, floating coins and Mario-style blocks suddenly appeared on the lawn of Yerba Buena Park in San Francisco - this isn't a sci-fi movie scene, but a mixed reality (MR) theme park being built by startup DreamPark. Founded by former Two-Bit Circus team members, the company recently announced $1.1 million in seed funding, planning to transform real spaces around the world into playable digital theme parks.

Recently, the term 'metaverse' is really hot! It seems everything can be related to it. Now, Qingdao is joining in, creating an 'Ocean Metaverse' cultural tourism landmark - Art Sea World. I want to ask, what new tricks can this 'metaverse + cultural tourism' new approach bring?
