技术和文明的变迁——元宇宙的概念研究Conceptualizing Metaverse:A Perspective from Technology and Civilization
方凌智,沈煌南
摘要(Abstract):
媒介技术的进步不断推动着人类社会形态发生变化,人类文明已经步入了元宇宙的前夜。本文基于此实践背景,从元宇宙的提出背景、构建和特征三个方面剖析元宇宙概念,分析归纳出元宇宙对产业现状和产业未来的影响。本文认为,元宇宙的提出是社会和技术发展的必然,是互联网发展的终局。元宇宙是媒介不断革新的产物,并且已经从文学中的可能世界发展到电子游戏。本文从人文和技术角度总结出元宇宙的构建基础,提出元宇宙在人文方面会发展出虚拟文明,在技术方面则由软件和硬件技术同时支撑。在此基础之上提炼出元宇宙具有文明性和交融性两大特征。本文总结了元宇宙对产业的影响,主要包括元宇宙对产业现状布局的影响和对产业未来发展的影响。本文提出的元宇宙的概念和影响及其在产业发展中的商业应用,为后续元宇宙的研究奠定了相应的理论基础。

- (1)文学中的虚构世界,一般用“架空世界”加以描述。而可能世界理论是用在哲学和逻辑中,表达模态断言(即,人们通常描述的“可能情况”)。由此看来,可能世界理论是人们进行虚构的基础,因此本文采用“可能世界”的提法而非“架空世界”。
