Metaverses are entertainment for many people, as is virtual reality. People come to casinos to have fun and enjoy themselves too. So the casino in VR is double entertainment. When the metaverses and VR are of a very high quality, I am sure that these technologies will be used everywhere, not just to go to the mall or to travel.

here is an update to their metaverse which they compare this time to the Meta of facebook. they're telling that its more decentralized which they are the ones setting the standards of using Meta. they are showing this to be more like how the internet today.

if this is not created by Chinese, do you think there will be more hype on this development?

I don't think so. And I wouldn't bet on it unless they gave me a gigantic potential return for the bet.


I also share your concerns but Cher Wang is Taiwanese, so it's debatable whether she's Chinese or not, LOL. I don't know if this will help clarify anything.

I think AR/VR will never replace the real world. Check Meta’s stock price it is going down into toilet. People are simply not interested in this shit. I know I am not. Some people will try it out eventually but Zuck made a bug mistake with changing the corporate’s name in to Meta imo and we can see the effects on the price of the stock. Right now MeTa is the (or one of the) cheapest social media stock there is and it is being priced like it is going bankrupt. That should give you an idea .

Mainland China is strictly anti-gambling.... both online and offline wagering are illegal with both punishable by fines and imprisonment.    Macau on the other hand, is a special administrative region like Hong Kong, and the only place in China where casinos are legal.

So most of the Chinese people will not be allowed to gamble on that digital platform, with them being one of the strongest economies in the world. So the success of this Chinese Metaverse will be based on the willingness of western countries to migrate to that platform. 

In the future, virtual and augmented reality technologies will become very widespread. 

Modern smartphones no longer surprise with their technologies.  In their development, quantitative rather than qualitative changes occur.  The number of cameras is changing, IPS screens are being replaced by OLED screens, stereo sound is being improved, and so on.  However, modern smartphones are not much different from smartphones in 2017.  There are no fundamental differences.  The functionality of modern and old smartphones is exactly the same. 

At the same time, augmented virtual reality headsets provide a completely different user experience.  They provide a complete immersion in virtual reality.  The smartphone also allows tactile, visual and auditory interaction with its owner. 

However, the smartphone does not provide a complete immersion in virtual reality. 

Currently, most of the major IT companies are making huge investments in virtual and augmented reality technologies.  Because it is clear to everyone that other devices should come to replace smartphones and laptops.  Many believe that the future belongs to augmented and virtual reality headsets, helmets, glasses, and so on. 

Perhaps virtual augmented reality will develop only with the massive introduction of neural interfaces that will allow you to deliver information directly to the brain. 

In any case, it is virtual augmented reality that will allow you to get a unique user experience in a new type of online casino.  Such online casinos are the future!

But in mainland China, gambling is illegal. Is Jack Ma hoping to receive wide acceptance by ignoring the communist authorities? Jack Ma for sure knows that despite bitcoin, crypto, mining, and gambling being illegal, there are still probably millions of Chinese involved in it secretly. Rich Chinese though can easily evade the law since they can just go to HK or Macau or overseas and acquire an ID or even properties in order to be exempted.

This project though if realized including the casinos will be a problem for Jack Ma if the government will go against it. I am not updated if Jack Ma is still a member of the communist party after he went MIA last year.

Going through the VR/AR and the meta, what percentage of the people are using it. This is beyond a common man's need. It can be praised as a big innovation that have made far better things that human mind cannot think about. At the same time it also need to provide some real life usage for the common man. Everything is just a hype, and we've got everything on place. Now in the name of innovation we can't come up with realistic products and that is why everyone moved to meta which isn't needed for human survival.

Considering that the pictures and videos of Meta's version of metaverse, I'm glad that the Chinese are stepping up their game and implementing a lot cleaner and more visually appealing version of their metaverse. Mark Zuckerberg's version seems like a capstone project of VR students that just wants to test their fundamentals on the subject. While I understand that creating VR material is extremely hard, knowing that the likes of Half-Life: Alyx exists already from a company that has a relatively smaller budget than Meta's, of course people expected more.

China's visualization of how the metaverse should be is great. It can be adopted onto a bunch of things and companies can use it as a basis. Imagine the thought of walking through the alley and being welcomed into the casino even though you're just wearing your pajamas at the comfort of your home? I know it's a gimmick but it's a fun way to do things.

I think this is a dubious alternative to reality. I can watch cartoons or be in AR/VR at any time, but this is not a substitute for reality. A picture or a pretty video of food is no substitute for a real dinner, and a picture of a girl is no substitute for a girl (I think you know what I mean) haha. When technology reaches the level to make a subtle replacement for these things, then all this will become relevant, but not before.
