VR,无需元宇宙拯救。

只有想不到,没有做不到。

在内蒙古鄂尔多斯远景产业园,长达五百米的动力电池生产线的日常维护,技术工人需要拿着平板电脑,沿着指定路线巡视,按指示操作。

不久的将来,VR/AR技术将会被加入进来,AI会指引工人去到最该去的地方,显示屏会显示生产线的虚拟结 构,当前的工序以及应该采取何种操作,日常维护将实现“傻瓜化”。

纵观人类的三次工业革命,一项划时代的技术在绽放之前,往往要经历千锤百炼,甚至是质疑、否定,再质疑、再否定……多次反复。

比如蒸汽机,自1698年萨弗里制成第一台实用的蒸汽机械,到1782年瓦特改良,80多年时间至少经历了4次重大改良,方接近实用。相比较而言,虚拟现实和增强现实技术就要幸运得多。 它们一诞生就风华正茂,三十年时间就已经从理论走进现实。当资本退场,当风口骤停,这个行业的真正价值才开始显现,甚至是要在更广阔的空间驰骋。

VR,无需元宇宙拯救。

01 VR/AR技术是必然的选择

据中国信息通信研究院对各国数字经济结构的测算,2021年中国产业数字化规模占比81.7%。

这个比例意味着,数字经济已成为中国继农业经济、工业经济之后又一主要经济形态。

那么,数字经济的下一步将落子何处?VR/AR技术是必然的选择之一。

去年1月,国务院颁布的“十四五规划和2035年远景目标纲要”已经将虚拟现实和增强现实列入数字经济重点产业, 提出以数字化转型整体驱动生产方式、生活方式和治理方式变革,催生新产业新业态新模式,壮大经济发展新引擎。

今年年初,国务院又印发《“十四五”数字经济发展规划的通知》,明确了发展包括VR/AR在内数字经济重点产业的行动纲领。

随后,工信部、教育部、文化和旅游部、国家广播电视总局等五部门联合发布《虚拟现实与行业应用融合发展行动计划(2022—2026年)》。

而这是四年中,部委层面发布的第二份虚拟现实产业政策。

2018年12月,工信部就曾发布《关于加快推进虚拟现实产业发展的指导意见》,推出中国首份VR产业政策。

根据工信部的解读,最明确的就是“高度重视虚拟现实产业发展”已经被纳入中国科技产业的顶层设计。

中国数字化走到这一步,必然经过科学论证与经济发展需求考量,而市场则是早早就完成了对这两者的检验。

2016年被认为是中国VR产业发展的元年。

虽然也经历过资本狂潮与行业寒冬的起起落落,但是全球最具活力的电子消费市场与世界工厂的结合,就是能够创造出奇迹。

有众多的前沿的电子消费产品,在其发明国举步维艰,但是一旦在中国被重新唤醒,就往往能够形成席卷之势。

“平衡车”刚被发明的时候,售价高达8万美元,只有迪拜的土豪才能玩得起,是中国的”小米“生生把它做到了1999元人民币,从此蔚然成风。

VR头显设备重复了同样的故事。

2021年VR头戴式显示器的全球出货量达1095万台,首次突破年出货一千万台的行业拐点。紧接着今年一季度,VR头显全球出货量同比增长 241.6%。

更耀眼的是作为后起之秀中国的成绩。

据IDC发布的VR市场报告显示,在2021年全球VR/AR类产品出货的地区占比中,中国以19.6%的占比位居全球第二,增长率高达88.7%,显示出强劲的发展势能,今年上半年,中国VR市场零售额突破8亿元,同比增长再超八成。

然而,与平衡车不同的是,VR设备的火热带动的不仅仅是制造行业,它的背后是巨大的软件生态,以及不难想象的可观应用前景。

在VR产业上,中国不仅与发达国家站在同一起跑线,而且在数据资源、人力资本和市场体量方面具备显著的比较优势。

高层也敏锐地意识到,这将是我国在第四次工业革命中绝佳的一个机遇。

中国由此提出到2026年,虚 拟现实产业总产业规模要达到3500亿,实现相关设备销量2500万台。

公布目标,就是最直接的动员令和发令枪。

VR,既是市场的选择,也是政策的选择。

中国,要发力争取成为领跑者。

02 无限的游戏

很多人对VR应用的第一反应是游戏,这实在是情有可原。

不过,纽约大学宗教历史系教授詹姆斯·卡斯在他的书《有限与无限的游戏》中写道:

世上至少有两种游戏。一种可称为有限游戏,另一种称为无限游戏。有限的游戏在边界内玩,无限的游戏玩的就是边界。

VR玩的就是无限游戏,它拥有无限的边界值得每一个参与者去探索,而绝不仅仅是 “游戏”。

由五部委联合发布的《行动计划》至少抓住了VR的一个关键点,就是多领域的“融合应用”。

《行动计划》明确提出要“落地”虚拟现实的10个行业场景应用,包括工业生产、文化旅游、融合媒体、教育培训、体育健康、商贸创意、演艺娱乐、安全应急、残障辅助、智慧城市。

既然能写入顶层设计的方案,意味着绝不是一种基于天马行空的想象搭建起的海市蜃楼。

在深圳,VR技术被用于进行城市供水管线的维护维修。实时还原站立者周边地下管网的三维实景,管网拓扑关系在平板上一目了然,再辅以内窥镜甚至可以直接透视破损、老化的管道。

在广州,VR被用来监控城市雨污水的管网运行。广州属于常年要和台风暴雨打交道的,这也方便了水务部门在雨季、台风季进行地下管线流量的调度。

降雨量、水位、渗流渗压、位移沉降等水域水情关键指标都可以反映在手机、电脑终端还有监控大屏上,一旦出现异常参数就会及时报警,实现秀才不出门便知天下事。

你觉得这些工作人员使用VR的时候,是否很像在玩游戏?

没错,这些技术最初的时候都是游戏玩出来的。

在游戏里,VR是有限的,也是无限的;但在现实中,它注定是无限的。

如今,虚拟现实已经完成了从0到1的产业内发展,正走向突破产业完成从1到N的规模化跨越式发展阶段。

《行动计划》是这样描述当下的VR技术的——“虚拟现实产业已初步构建了以技术创新为基础的生态体系,正迈入以产品升级和融合应用为主线的战略窗口期”。

战略窗口期——这个重大“历史性判断”意味着继四年前发布《指导意见》后,VR产业作为战略实施的最佳时机正式来临,“多行业多场景应用落地”的大幕正在加速拉开。

比如在工业制造上,针对生产设计难、管理成本高、资源利用率低等问题,VR对生产数据进行可视化改造,助力工业制造全流程智能化和一体化发展。

在医疗健康上,VR解决了医疗资源有限且分布不均、诊断方式单一等问题,促进上下级医院联动,已成为传统医学手段的有效补充。

在教育培训上,VR推动教学模式由被动接受向自主体验升级,解决了传统教学过程中部分课程内容难于记忆、难于实践、难于理解等问题。

类似的探索应用每个月甚至每天都在发生,VR在游戏之外,别有洞天……

回望VR的发展,它完全符合Gartner的技术成熟度曲线,过了泡沫低谷期,经历了稳步爬升的光明期,马上迎来实质生产的高峰期。

Gartner的技术成熟度曲线

1000万的临界拐点为什么重要?因为拐点之后,行业就进入“硬件迭代升级—内容生态繁荣—用户数量/渗透率持续增加”的正循环上升通道。

这场无限的游戏已经没有了暂停键,千行万业被连轴带动起来。

03 变革,已经潜伏在你我身边

虚拟现实“将深刻改变人类的生产生活方式”。翻看历史,试问能做到“深刻改变”的技术或者产品又有多少?

如果说PC互联网开阔了我们的信息视野,移动互联网扩宽了我们的生活半径,那么虚拟现实——扩展的将是我们的人生维度。

电影《头号玩家》的镜头将在现实演绎,人们足不出户就可以飞跃高山、穿越沙漠,可以成为你想成为的任何角色,可以抵达任何想去的地方,任何的经历都变得有趣。

比如烦人的装修 ,人们不再需要来回奔波看设计看样板房,而是想看哪个楼盘什么装修风格完全随心所欲,省时省心。目前国内的华锐视点、无忧我房、美 屋365等多家企业都在借助VR技术为消费者提供装修看房解决方案。

比如购买衣服 ,不用再经历收货后“买家秀”和“卖家秀”的巨大落差,而是在购买前就在家就实现随意换装试衣。目前上海一家叫衣脉科技的公司就推出了它的3D试衣镜,让用户可以一分钟内虚拟试衣近百件服装。

比如枯燥的健身 ,国内VR头部品牌PICO已经实现任意切换健身场景,让健身成为一场升级打怪的游戏的同时,还能在家接受专业教练的沉浸式指导。

比如医疗 ,患者不再担忧医疗事故,因为医生在手术前,已经在VR手术室进行了多次预演预判,对动作产生的结果胸有成竹。事实上美国的Osso VR等多家公司已经开发了虚拟手术室相关应用,让医生可以反复模拟练习手术流程。

即使演出、展览、直播都会被VR重塑, 比如正在举办的世界杯 ,虽然很多人无法现场观赛,但通过PICO的VR设备,人们可以直接获得身处足球场边的沉浸式视听体验,看着喜爱的球员在身边争抢,然后和世界各地的人一起尖叫欢呼。

VR把生活幻化为“所见即所得”,我们可以无缝体验世间各类人生,从而降低了试错成本,每个人都可以追寻真正想要的生活。

过去我们常说“如果时光可以倒流”,但有了VR,已不需要“如果”。

近年一直拷问科技行业的是,智能手机之后是什么?

答案很可能是VR设备。它对我们生活的颠覆甚至远超智能手机,而消费端的需求也必然推动企业端的改变。

2003-2021 年全球智能手机出货量

2016-2023 年全球 VR 市场出货量

VR走进千家万户的同时也赋能千行百业,VR是企业数字化转型的支柱技术,让企业更节约成本,帮营销更致胜等。

比如蔓延近三年的全球疫情让企业内部交流大规模地转移到线上,即使上平台可以一定程度取代当面交流,但是无法弥补实际对话和复杂协作中的某些特定环节。

例如心理学研究发现沟通中的信息表达有7%靠语调,38%靠声音,55%靠身体语言。而VR既为人们提供实体形式的存在以保障沟通效果,又能让人们在家安享健康安全,为团队创造更好的协作空间。

比如员工培训上,沃尔玛已经开始利用VR重塑了员工学习流程,借助VR培训员工如何使用手持设备为客户快速结账,以及如何使用管理自助取货机,培训时间从8小时压缩至15分钟,效率提高了96%,并且无需教练到店。

VR在解决人们生活方方面面痛点同时也在解决企业的痛点,谁掌握它运用它,谁就具有立身未来的竞争优势。

从“互联网+”到“VR+”,人们在见证一个时代正在落幕的同时,另一时代正冉冉升起。

当然,我们在满怀期待的同时也应该清醒,每一次大变革都是道阻且长的过程,聚沙成塔的努力才能让变革由点到面地发生。

虽然正循环模式已经开启,但这场无限的游戏对玩家的挑战并未减少,更多的技术攻坚,更多的内容创造者的参与,以及商业模式的跑通,直至全产业大规模应用落地,这场游戏“闯关成功”的奏乐才能最终响起。

Soaring Export Data for Memory Chips, Market Is Redefining the Valuation Anchor for Memory Stocks

Korean storage export data for the first 20 days of June shows substantial year-on-year increases in both value and price-per-kilogram for categories like DRAM, NAND, and SSDs. This signals a potential shift beyond simple demand recovery, indicating rising prices and a product mix shift towards higher-value items, possibly influenced by AI infrastructure needs. A key point is that the surge in price-per-kilogram is not simply a uniform chip price hike. It reflects a combination of actual price increases and, more importantly, an export structure increasingly dominated by high-value-density products like HBM (High-Bandwidth Memory) and advanced DRAM, which are critical for AI servers. This suggests AI-driven demand may be spilling over from just HBM into broader memory markets. SK Hynix stands to benefit directly due to its leading HBM position. For Samsung and Micron, the implication is potential for greater margin elasticity if the tightness in high-end memory spreads to enterprise SSD and NAND prices. However, the storage sector remains cyclical. Risks include supply expansion, inventory changes, and potential slowdowns in broader AI capital expenditure. Ultimately, while the strong export data supports upward revisions for storage company earnings and fuels discussion of an "AI infrastructure bottleneck premium," a definitive valuation shift from a cyclical to a structural story depends on upcoming quarterly reports. Investors need confirmation from SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron that improvements in average selling prices, product mix, and, crucially,毛利率 are sustained over multiple quarters.

Why Does SpaceX Have Such a High Valuation Ceiling? The Answer Lies in Musk's Business Blueprint

SpaceX achieved a record-breaking IPO on June 12, 2026, with its market cap surging past $2.1 trillion. This valuation reflects its central role within Elon Musk's expansive, interconnected technological ecosystem. The article details how four core components form a synergistic closed-loop system: 1) **The "Brain" (xAI & Orbital Compute):** xAI provides AI models and massive ground/space-based supercomputing for simulation and decision-making across the system. 2) **The "Neural Logistics Core" (Starlink & Starship):** Starlink's low-latency satellite network enables global data transmission, while Starship's low-cost, reusable launch capacity aims to make large-scale space deployment economically viable. 3) **The "Physical Body" (Tesla & Optimus):** Tesla's manufacturing prowess and energy products support hardware production and power, pivoting toward mass-producing the Optimus humanoid robot for terrestrial and potential space-based labor. 4) **The "Human Interface" (Neuralink & X):** Neuralink seeks direct brain-computer communication, and the X platform provides real-time societal data. Together, these elements create three reinforcing "flywheels": manufacturing/logistics, data-driven iteration, and energy/compute/network synergy. This integrated approach promises lower costs, faster innovation cycles, and potential infrastructure-as-a-service offerings. However, it also concentrates technical, regulatory, and corporate governance risks. Ultimately, SpaceX's high valuation stems from its position as the indispensable infrastructural backbone—handling space transport, global communications, and future orbital computing—tying together Musk's entire vision for a self-reinforcing technological empire.

Snap, Unprofitable for Nine Years, and a Decade-Long AR Obsession Without Return

Snap's AR Obsession: A Decade of Betting Against the Odds On June 16, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel unveiled the new AR glasses, Specs, priced at $2,195, causing the company's stock (SNAP) to plummet nearly 10%. The launch was met with intense criticism online, with investors questioning why a consistently unprofitable company would stake its future on an expensive product its core young user base can't afford. Snapchat, known for pioneering features like ephemeral Stories and popular AR lenses (like the iconic dog filter), has a history of innovation often copied by rivals like Instagram and Meta. Despite this, it has struggled to translate first-mover advantage into commercial success. Since its 2017 IPO, Snap has reported annual net losses, with a Q1 2026 loss of $89 million. Its stock is down 94% from its 2021 peak, hampered by iOS privacy changes, competition, and a young demographic less attractive to major advertisers. In this challenging context, Spiegel is doubling down on AR. He calls 2026 a "crucible moment," having recently laid off 16% of staff while reportedly investing over $3.5 billion cumulatively in its AR glasses line over nearly a decade. The new Specs represent a significant leap from the 2016 camera-focused Spectacles, offering true AR overlays, gesture control, and standalone operation. However, at $2,195, it faces tough comparisons. While more advanced than Meta's $799 Ray-Ban smart glasses, critics point to its heavier weight, short battery life, and features largely replicable by a smartphone. Facing pressure from investors to cut losses on the Specs project, Spiegel has refused, framing it as essential to Snap's long-term vision. The company finds itself in a paradoxical position: cutting costs while heavily funding a decade-long, unproven bet. Some see Specs as an awkward but necessary step in AR's evolution, akin to early mobile phones. Whether Spiegel is a visionary outlier or a gambler destined to fail remains an open question, highlighting the tension between long-term ambition and short-term market demands.

Annualized Revenue Exceeds $20 Billion, Kalshi Aims to Become the First Prediction Platform IPO?

Kalshi, a leading U.S. prediction markets platform, is reportedly in early, informal discussions for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). The company's annualized revenue now exceeds $2 billion, fueled by its dominance of over 90% of the domestic prediction market activity. This growth stems from a surge in trading volume—reaching a total of $52.7 billion—and an increase in fee rates, largely driven by sports event contracts like the NBA playoffs and the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Monthly active users are approximately 2 million. Kalshi recently raised $1 billion in a funding round led by Coatue Management, valuing the company at $22 billion. It has also expanded its offerings to include Bitcoin perpetual contracts and plans to launch a dedicated trading platform, Kalshi Pro. However, Kalshi's path to an IPO faces significant regulatory hurdles. The core risk involves jurisdictional conflicts, as multiple U.S. states are challenging its operations under local gambling laws. For instance, Arizona has filed criminal charges against the platform, while states like Kentucky have filed lawsuits. Kalshi and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) argue that its event contracts fall under exclusive federal jurisdiction as "swaps." The outcomes of these ongoing legal battles could critically impact Kalshi's core revenue and its IPO timeline. Analysts suggest that while an IPO could theoretically occur by late 2026, a more likely timeframe is late 2027 or 2028, contingent on resolving legal issues and favorable market conditions. If successful, its fundraising could significantly exceed $1 billion, given its current valuation and revenue multiple.
