/ Aswen News/August 16, 2022 Guangzhou -- As the new news of Pico 4 continues to come to light, there are more and more highlights worth paying attention to in product design and parameters, and everyone's yearning and expectation for the metauniverse is gradually heating up.
Insiders expect that the second half of this year will also see a small peak of VR product iteration, especially overseas PS VR 2, Meta Cambria, etc. From the exposure information of Pico 4, we can see that there are more and more mature hardware products in China, so the number of VR users and VR demand will inevitably rise.
In addition to the well-known VR equipment and VR headset manufacturers, those who can enjoy this growth dividend belong to the metaverse "developers", that is, software engine developers and application developers of AR/VR application content and scenes.
Listed US 3D engine developer Unity Software is arguably the best known and most representative metaverse "developer", providing engine solutions to AR/VR game developers worldwide through a modular open platform. More recently, there was an official announcement that Unity would be acquired for $17.54 billion, an 18% premium to its stock price on the day of the announcement.
Unity started as a game development engine and has evolved into a platform for developing and operating interactive, real-time 3D content. The potential market created by real-time 3D replacing linear and flat 2D digital content puts Unity, a company known for offering a low barrier to entry and easy to use cross-platform real-time 3D engine for development, into the defining metacomes.If we're looking for a domestic rival to Unity, Flowing Cloud might be the right choice.
Virtual content development engine companies that Flowing Cloud is an important part of our metacomph infrastructure in the vertical arena. They primarily provide professional engines and services to virtual content developers in China. Flowing Cloud, for example, already provides one-stop technology output services and standardized production tools to many brands in consumer, automotive, cultural and travel, education, and other fields. Some of that is digital assets that are housed on Baidu's Titan platform, as well as the custom output Flowing from FetianYun Cloud that is being produced for Baidu.Flowing Cloud is divided into underlying technology, content technology, and platform technology in terms of its technical architecture. The underlying technology, which includes rendering, physics simulation, various animation systems, could be the foundation that Flowing Cloud would build into its metacomes
Whereas in terms of content technology, Flowing Cloud has its own engine developed. Including FT Engine, Uni-Play engine, Uni-AR engine, Uni-VR engine and rendering engine, realizing one-stop development and full platform coverage, enabling the company to greatly reduce the product development time, As a result, there is higher output quality and business efficiency in professional 3D content development and in providing customized content delivery for large B-side clients. With its outstanding technical strength, Flowing Cloud already works with large clients like Baidu, JD.com, Yuanmingyuan, and National Museum.
In order to standardize out their technical capabilities, build their metacomph ecosystem more efficiently, and improve multi-party collaboration, Flowing Cloud is rolling out an aPaaS low-code development platform for content developers of all genres. Provide a large number of AR/VR activity templates, online editor and a series of data analysis functions, allow users to quickly use the required functions on the platform, help users to obtain a better independent design experience on the platform, more simple and efficient AR/VR content production. The platform is also embedded in major enterprise cloud platforms, such as Tencent Cloud.In conclusion, Flowing Cloud and Unity are both driving the growth of content production from PGC to UGC to AIGC(automated AI content generation) and are great tools to support the metacomph content explosion. Similarly, Flowing Cloud is listed in Hong Kong and is expected to be the first Chinese metacosmic engine, marking an inflection point in the industry.
In addition to the $17.45 billion deal for the entire company, Unity recently announced a joint venture in China called Unity China. Valued at $1 billion
So Flowing Cloud is deep in China and has a lot of customers interested in flowing Cloud and it has first-mover advantages in low-code platform development and distribution. What would its initial capital market value be?
