What will happen without Lenovo? Most PC users have heard of this familiar slogan. As web1. Lenovo was born before the era of 0 in 1995, it can be regarded as a senior boss standing at the early stage of the development of the Internet history. The following content will answer for you.

1、 Step on the "Train" of Metacosmic Intelligent Terminal

After the arrival of mobile Internet (Web2), the demand of people for mobile terminals has gradually been covered. PC Lenovo seems to have disappeared in the whole mobile Internet, missing the development wave of mobile Internet. What action will Lenovo take? In general, Lenovo chose to apply the meta universe technology to all walks of life from the perspective of industrial upgrading to solve practical problems and strive to create a more practical industrial meta universe. Therefore, the current Lenovo meta universe model can be regarded as Lenovo's "application meta universe" or "industrial meta universe".

If PC is the entrance to the portal era and mobile phone is the entrance to the mobile Internet era, AR/VR is the key to enter the meta universe. Lenovo is known as "Train", one of the most potential enterprises in the field of meta universe intelligent terminal segmentation. Mao Shijie, vice president of Lenovo, believes that compared with games and other toC industrial meta universes, the system and equipment need accurate perception. He believes that AR can not only be an AR device, but also needs to understand reality, so it is necessary to establish real and virtual interaction, so that AR can become the eyes of computers.

Therefore, as the key to opening the door of the universe, VR/AR is currently used in digital cultural relics, industrial training, aviation maintenance, intelligent medical care, intelligent tour guides and other industries. For Lenovo, it goes further. ThinkRealityA3AR Although Lenovo has gone further, only the core algorithm of Lenovo AR is self-developed, and other related technologies have not yet emerged. In addition, in addition to the product series of Lenovo Morningstar MR, there are many AR game devices, PCVR devices and other product lines that have stopped iteration. Although we don't know the specific reason, it still shows that Lenovo is still exploring the VR/AR field.

2、 Timely innovation: blockchain+supply chain

We can also see that this exploration is reflected in the blockchain. Perhaps it is because Lenovo's business line in the mobile era is in a loss state. On the one hand, Lenovo has demonstrated its deep strength in the process of blockchain; on the other hand, it has also demonstrated its efforts for past shortcomings.

Blockchain is indispensable for entering the meta universe. When Tencent, Baidu and Alibaba launched their own blockchain platforms, by contrast, Lenovo will find it more powerful than blockchain in the process of blockchain. In 2016, Lenovo launched blockchain technology research and development, and took the lead in proposing the "dual chain integration" model based on its own supply chain experience.

The "dual chain integration", namely the blockchain and supply chain cooperation mode, aims to take advantage of the blockchain's advantages of openness, transparency, fairness, credibility and decentralized storage to solve the pain points of opaque and untrustworthy information and low interaction efficiency in the supply chain cooperation process, and form the concept of industrial blockchain.

The innovative mode of "double chain integration" has made Lenovo's industrial meta universe achieve good results. For example, in the procurement collaboration business process in the supply chain, contract manufacturers, Lenovo and component suppliers can share real-time transaction data through the platform to improve the overall visibility and reliability of collaborative transaction data. This model is also the first batch of typical experience of supply chain innovation and application pilot jointly released by the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other eight departments in 2020. Lenovo's efforts in blockchain have made achievements and incentives.

3、 After understanding the meta universe: industrial meta universe

For Lenovo, whether it is AR/VR on mobile terminals, with the innovation and follow-up of grass-roots technologies such as blockchain, the most fundamental is the understanding of the meta universe. This determines the meta universe system created by Lenovo.

Lenovo's understanding of the meta universe requires not only a strong technical foundation, but also a comprehensive understanding. This is a lesson Lenovo learned from its development in the mobile phone era - its brand is not clear enough, it continues to lose money, its overall income is less than 1%, and Motorola, a high-end brand, has made a major strategic mistake in its acquisition. With a comprehensive understanding of the meta universe, is half the success? At present, Lenovo can only watch.

In short, this is Lenovo's summary of its industrial meta universe. The "end edge cloud network intelligence" technology architecture gives power to all walks of life, forms an integrated system of technology, products and ecology, and realizes the technologies, services and solutions required for industrial intelligent reform. Lenovo's industrial meta universe is essentially based on a variety of clear industrial intelligence needs.

4、 Metauniverse to Association

Metauniverse seems to have no redundant choice for Lenovo. The most appropriate method is to apply the meta universe to your own business line. In fact, this is Lenovo's positioning so far. Lenovo's action is to empower emerging technologies in office, medical, education, aviation manufacturing and other fields through technological innovation, such as AR/VR.

This is the industrial meta universe picture that Lenovo has been pursuing. For Lenovo, the universe is an early bird. The universe is a new export that Lenovo has held in its hands for a long time. It not only reflects Lenovo's foresight, but also represents Lenovo's setback history. Reviewing the whole development process of mobile Internet, Lenovo missed or left online social channels, short video games and other entertainment content tracks, as well as mobile device tracks.

The era has entered the new situation of "Internet inflection point". When leading enterprises in various industries such as Meta, Microsoft, Google, Tencent, Alibaba, ByteDance, etc. seized the opportunities brought by the metauniverse and continued to lead the next era, we observed Lenovo's action layout and found that it has pushed the metauniverse into the industrial field of the metauniverse Allin according to its development path since 1984.

summary

To sum up, the industrial meta universe is still in its early stage of development, facing problems such as high costs and weak integration with the production environment. This is still a challenge for Lenovo. What will happen to the industrial meta universe without Lenovo? There is no answer yet. However, through Lenovo's exploration of the industrial meta universe, we can see the image step by step.
