16 The Metaverse Overview : Vision, Technology, and Tactics | Vision and Values Figure13: The Production Metaverse Source: Deloitte analysis 1.2 Six characteristics of the Metaverse Based on the descriptions above, and compared with current internet platforms, the Metaverse has six characteristics: realistic immersive experiences, a complete real world structure, UGC, huge economic value, new regulations and rules, and large potential uncertainty. Characteristics 1: Realistic immersive experience Realistic immersive experiences provide verisimilitude of the senses, objects, and environment, and have driven Metaverse excitement. The Metaverse creates sensory verisimilitude by upgrading 2D internet experiences to 3D, sensory ones. The senses here are mainly visual and auditory. For example, most video games have 2D pictures and sound effects. A small number of games have added senses including pressure and shock, but these sensory experiences are far from actual physical and tactile experiences. With the development of technologies including somatosensory devices, digital smell, digital taste, and brain-computer interfaces, the ideal Metaverse integrates vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste and ideas to bring players infinitely closer to real sensory experiences. Object verisimilitude is the use of digital twin technology to create digital virtual objects, forming a mapping relationship that is very similar to real objects in shape, texture, and use. In environmental verisimilitude, a virtual world runs like the real world. Like the real world, this virtual world is always online, real time, and includes an infinite number of people who can connect and communicate with each other. In other words, it is sustainable, real-time, has no access restrictions and possesses connectivity and creativity, as described by Matthew Ball. In this way, the virtual world gives users a feeling that the surrounding environment, people, and things are real. Immersive experiences geared toward personal sensory experiences are easier to understand. The following describes the immersive experience of the Metaverse that simulates the production process. The Production Metaverse use digital twins as its core technology to simulate the production environment, processes, and objects (see figure below).
