Summary

This book explores from multiple angles how virtual reality technology will transform our world and our future. Reading it, readers can feel how VR is drawing ever closer and the profound changes it brings to our way of life.

This book can be described as a rare introductory guide to the virtual reality industry. VR is an emerging technology with great application prospects in the metaverse era. It has not only fundamentally changed the way people interact but also brought entirely new forms of entertainment and leisure. At present, across the globe, many investment giants have set their sights on the VR field of the metaverse. Whether in technology or gaming, film and television or education, or even many other industries, VR technology is now visible everywhere. The research and application results it delivers are highly enticing; whoever can quickly bring VR applications to market will be the first to reap enormous rewards.

Editor's review

Song Lei's Virtual Reality in the Metaverse Era is a work that, against the backdrop of the Web3.0 boom, attempts to map out the trajectory and application prospects of virtual reality technology. An online search shows that the book currently has no rating on Douban, which may be related to its publication date (2021) and its relatively niche positioning as a technical primer. In terms of structure, the author takes the metaverse concept as an entry point and systematically explains the core technical principles of VR/AR/MR, their development history, the industrial ecosystem, and potential social impact. The book's value lies in its balance: it neither falls into excessive hype around the metaverse concept nor gets bogged down in dense technical jargon, but rather paints a progressive picture for readers—from technological foundations to future imaginings—with relatively clear logic. As a China Industry and Commerce United Press title, its content leans toward an industrial and commercial application perspective, offering concrete analysis of metaverse integration cases in entertainment, education, social networking, and industry, making it suitable as an introductory read for understanding the commercial potential of this field. It is worth noting that, given the rapid iteration of digital technology, some of the book's predictions about technology evolution paths may already have diverged from reality, but this does not prevent it from serving as a framework work that helps readers build systematic understanding. When reading, it can be treated as a three-dimensional map of 'technology–industry–society,' focusing on its analytical logic rather than specific conclusions.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Beginners interested in concepts such as the metaverse and virtual reality but lacking systematic understanding
  • Practitioners or researchers focused on commercial applications of digital technology and investment opportunities
  • Readers in the humanities and social sciences who wish to understand the potential social and cultural impact of immersive technologies
  • Enthusiasts of popular science and technology books seeking a general-reader title with some depth

Not a good fit for

  • Seasoned technical professionals seeking the latest technology trends and paper-level frontier analysis
  • Hands-on readers expecting specific programming implementations or hardware development guides

Reading tips

  1. Read the first two chapters to build a conceptual framework, then choose subsequent application chapters according to interest
  2. While reading, search for the latest developments of the cases mentioned in the book to compare and verify
  3. For technical descriptions, don't get stuck on detailed parameters; focus on understanding the functional logic and application scenarios

Gan Jiawen is a Chinese author about whom little public information is available. It can only be confirmed that the author has written one work, Virtual Reality in the Metaverse Era, which is classified under finance and economics in the library. Judging from this subject, Gan Jiawen's writing focuses on the emerging field of the metaverse and virtual reality, examining how digital technology intersects with industry, business, and everyday life. Books of this kind are usually aimed at general readers interested in technology trends and financial and economic developments, and seek to explain concepts and phenomena in an accessible way, helping readers understand the business logic behind technological change.
