Hello everyone, we are Unboxing China! 大家好，我们是开箱中国I'm Box.我是BoxI'm Nancy. 我是NancyBox, have you heard of the super buzzword Box 你听说过今年爆火的of this year, "metaverse"?“元宇宙”吗Sure I did.当然And frankly 但说真的I have no idea what that actually means. 我搞不太清楚它究竟是什么Ah, neither do I.其实我也是But I've watched the movie Free Guy 但我看过电影《失控玩家》and that's quite close to what I imagine 它差不多就是the "metaverse" to be in my mind.我想象中的“元宇宙”了That's a good point. 言之有理So today we might get a better idea of 所以今天我们有机会更好地了解what the "metaverse" really looks like “元宇宙”到底是什么as we are at an exhibition hosted by Baidu,我们来到了百度办的一个展览We will enter a "metaverse" ourselves接下来我们将走进一个“元宇宙”although I'm still not sure 尽管我还是不太知道how that's made possible.它是怎样实现的Then let's go and have a look!那我们就一起去看看吧Now, we are already in a virtual world created by Baidu. 我们现在已经进入了一个百度创造的虚拟世界 This is the virtual version of me.这是虚拟的我And this is me, Box.这是我 BoxIt's a bit surreal. 这就有点超现实了We are not with each other physically, 实际上 我们并不在一块but virtually we are walking alongside each other .但在这个世界里 我们正并肩而行and talking as if we are together一起聊天Maybe we should show our viewers 也许我们应该告诉观众how we get into this universe?我们是如何进入这个宇宙的Haha, sure. 哈哈 当然了If you are an experienced video game player 如果你经常打游戏you'll find this process extremely familiar.你会发现这个过程很眼熟Yeah. We start with creating our avatars. 对的 我们从创建自己的虚拟形象开始And then, here we are, 然后 有了the virtual us in a virtual world. 这就是虚拟世界里虚拟的我们Baidu named this world "Xi Rang". 百度将这个世界命名为“希壤”It's a Chinese legend of soil 它取自“息壤” 那是一种传说中that can grow continuously by itself. 可以自己生长的土壤And let's review what "metaverse" really means.我们再来复习一下“元宇宙”的含义I'm reading the definition, by the way. 我来读读定义It is a combination of multiple high-tech elements, 它综合了多种高科技元素including mobile internet, the internet of things, 包括移动互联网 物联网VR, AR, AI, and videos,VR AR AI 视频技术basically all those fancy tech terms you've heard of, 基本上囊括了所有我们听说过的高科技and makes users like us feel like they are 让我们这样用户切身体会到“living” in a digital universe. “生活”在数字世界中的感觉Box, do you feel that way? Box 感觉到了吗How do you like this world?你觉得这个世界怎么样It's like a complex video game for me, 对我来说 它像个复杂的with so many high-tech functions in one game.拥有很多高科技功能的电子游戏Yeah, it's like those open-world video games 是的 它就像那些开放世界的电子游戏but with way more social features.但具有更多的社交功能And actually Baidu is hosting its 事实上 百度在这里举办了annual creator summit in this world. 一年一度的开发者峰会We are now in the conference room.我们现在就在会议室里We are told it can host 听说它可以a hundred thousand audiences at the same time同时容纳十万名观众made possible thanks to the cloud technology. 这要归功于云技术And I definitely expect 我觉得the presentations to be much fancier.演讲一定会变得更酷Wow Box, look at that flying car! 哇Box 看那辆飞车It really reminds me of “Iron Man” you know,它让我想起在《钢铁侠》里when Tony Stark waves his hand托尼・斯塔克挥挥手and all the tech emerges in the air.所有的高科技就在他的指尖浮现That's definitely not achievable现实世界的会议if it's a meeting in the real world. 肯定是做不到这些的Still, it's a bit limited 不过 如果这种体验只是在if we are just having this experience 手机屏幕上on our phone screens.那还是有点局限了Then it's time to let the VR technology kick in.是时候让 VR 技术发挥作用了Box, have you ever tried VR before?Box 你以前尝试过 VR 吗No, it's my first time!没有 这是我第一次试How do you feel?你觉得怎么样A bit dizzy, 有点晕得慌and I can't find my way.我还迷路了Oh, how do I operate it?晕 我该怎么操作这玩意Haha, it's so funny from my point of view. 哈哈 从我的视角看还蛮搞笑的you are doing your stuff 你在做自己的事情but I can't see the world you are seeing.但是我并不能看到你所处的那个世界Do you find this world more “real”?你觉得这个世界变得更“真实”了吗Yeah, more or less. 多多少少吧But it's still like a cartoon world for me, 但对我来说 它还是太“卡通”了not totally real.并不那么真实We are still quite early in this "metaverse" thing,我们在“元宇宙”方面还处于起步阶段I guess that's why.我想这就是原因So Box, you just had your first Box 你刚刚第一次尝试了"metaverse" and VR experiences. “元宇宙”和 VR How do you feel about it? 你觉得怎么样呢I'm still a bit dizzy! 我还晕着呢Anyways, it helped me travel to the Shaolin Temple. 不管怎样 它带我去看了少林寺I haven't been there before.我还从没去过那里呢I guess that's the point of the whole metaverse idea:这大概就是元宇宙这个概念的核心to break the physical boundaries,打破物理的界限to get you to places you've never been, 带你去从未去过的地方to show you stuff not presentable in reality.向你展示现实世界无法呈现的东西And to connect you with people far away! 让你远方的朋友近在咫尺What we see today is a very basic version of the metaverse.我们今天看到的只是“元宇宙”的基础版本But it's already quite exciting! 已经很精彩了There are definitely more possibilities. 未来肯定还会有更多的可能性And we are expecting that.我们都期待着So that's all for today's Unboxing China. 今天的开箱中国就到这里了See you next time!我们下次再见
