这些天有很多关于Metaverse的讨论。如果世界上最富有、最有影响力的人之一马克·扎克伯格决定把一切都押在这项技术上，就会发生这种情况。但这也是因为数字商业世界正在寻找新的利润来源。根据一些研究，如ReportLink的研究，1到2026年，Metaverse市场的价值可能达到7586亿美元。JP摩根、福布斯、3和灰度研究公司4聚集并谈论了一万亿美元，在一个有点不确定的未来。其结果是，这些投资是重大的和有影响力的，理由是“如果这些公司投资这么多，肯定[在这里加上你喜欢的结论]"。它们是由像微软这样的公司制造的（700亿美元），Meta（旧的Facebook，100亿美元），或谷歌（“只有”3950万美元）.5这是一大笔钱，但要有几个指标，最好记住，在2022年，埃隆马斯克为Twitter提供了440亿美元，6拜登政府获得了449亿美元的预算来应对气候变化。7似乎我们更关心虚拟现实而不是真实的现实。大自然母亲迟早会给我们一个痛苦的耳光。让我们回到Metaverse。有很多关于它的讨论，也是因为它是一个
