Summary

The rapid growth of digital technology is driving industrial society toward ever-deeper digitalization. From enterprise digital transformation to digital government, digital cities, and the digital earth, and to the increasingly digital ways in which we live, the technologically advanced industrial civilization we inhabit has gradually formed a "digital version" of itself—this is the industrial metaverse.

Through six chapters, this book introduces the origins and evolution of the industrial metaverse. Chapter 1 covers its prehistory, including the early shoots and practice of the metaverse; Chapter 2 introduces the concept, elements, and risks of the metaverse; Chapter 3 introduces the concept of the industrial metaverse, arguing that it is an inevitable trend of digital development; Chapter 4 describes some of the new experiences the industrial metaverse brings, including new economies and new business; Chapter 5 introduces its key technologies, including immersive interaction technology, interconnection technology, and mapping technology; Chapter 6 offers the author's thoughts on the future development of the industrial metaverse.

Editor's review

Industrial Metaverse brings the often abstractly discussed “metaverse” back down to industrial settings, using six chapters to build a path of understanding from origins to technology to future judgment. Its distinguishing feature is treating the industrial metaverse as an extension of digital evolution rather than an isolated hype cycle: it first explains the emergence and practice of the metaverse, then defines conceptual elements and risks, next focuses on three key technology categories—immersive interaction, interconnection, and mapping—and finally lands on experience changes in the new economy and new business along with the author’s reflections. For readers who need to explain to their teams what “industrial metaverse” actually means, it offers not slogans but a discussable conceptual framework and technology taxonomy. The writing leans toward conceptual organization and trend assessment, making it suitable as a systematic read after an introduction, and its value shows more clearly when read alongside enterprise digital transformation topics. Readers should compare each chapter against their own industry scenarios to distinguish which technologies are already mature and which remain forward-looking projections.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Manufacturing and industrial enterprise managers responsible for digital transformation planning
Introductory readers who want a systematic understanding of the concept and technological composition of the industrial metaverse
Practitioners following trends in digital government, digital cities, and industrial digitalization
Consultants who need to explain the intersection of the metaverse and industry to teams or clients

Not a good fit for

Developers seeking concrete technical implementation code and engineering operational details
Readers looking for mature deployment case data and ROI calculations
People impatient with conceptual review and trend discussion who want only conclusions

Reading tips

Read Chapters 3 to 5 first to grasp the definition of the industrial metaverse and the three key technologies, then go back to the conceptual groundwork in the first two chapters.
After each chapter, write down on one page the scenarios that may correspond to your industry and the points that remain uncertain, forming your own question list.
Read the future reflections in Chapter 6 alongside your own company's digital transformation plan, distinguishing near-term actionable items from long-term watch items.
Read it together with material on digital transformation and the industrial internet, and avoid treating the book's forward-looking judgments as established conclusions.

FAQ

Is this book suitable for readers with no background in the metaverse at all?

Yes, but it requires some patience. The first two chapters start from the emergence and practice of the metaverse and then move on to concepts and elements, following a progressive arrangement. Readers with no background at all should read in chapter order, first absorbing the basic terminology and then moving into the industrial scenarios and key technology sections; it is not advisable to jump directly into the technology chapters.

What is the difference between the industrial metaverse discussed in the book and the consumer metaverse?

According to the book's approach, the industrial metaverse is a "digital version" formed by the continuous digitalization of industrial society, focused on production and governance scenarios such as enterprise digital transformation, digital government, and digital cities, rather than entertainment and social experiences. It places greater emphasis on the support that technologies such as immersive interaction, interconnection, and mapping provide for industrial processes, and the discussion of risks and elements is also developed around this context.

Is the book's introduction to key technologies more theoretical or more application-oriented?

Judging from the table of contents, Chapter 5 focuses on immersive interaction technology, interconnection technology, and mapping technology, providing a review at the level of technology classification and roles to help readers build a technology map, rather than serving as an engineering implementation manual. If you need interface, deployment, or development details, you should consult specialized technical materials alongside it.

After reading it, can I use it to create an internal digital transformation plan for a company?

It can provide a conceptual framework, technology classification, and trend judgments, and is suitable as a shared language for plan discussions, but it is not equivalent to an implementation plan. It is advisable to turn the book's lists of elements and risks into an outline for internal workshops, and then, in light of the company's own data foundation, business pain points, and investment capacity, supplement industry cases and feasibility assessments separately.

About the author

李剑峰 Author

Li Jianfeng is an author about whom limited public information is available; his research focus and full career background remain unclear. According to the library's holdings, he is the author of Industrial Metaverse, a book classified under finance and economics, which suggests that his writing addresses frontier issues at the intersection of industry and digital technology. The book centers on industrial scenarios and the concept of the metaverse, discussing how virtual technologies may enter manufacturing, production, and industrial collaboration. It reads as accessible writing aimed at industry observers and finance readers. Based on the available information, Li Jianfeng's writing emphasizes conceptual clarification and trend analysis, with clear and readable language that seeks to translate newer technical terms into understandable industrial topics. Because background material on the author is scarce, his identity, nationality, and dates of birth and death cannot be confirmed. Readers may therefore treat the book as an introductory reference on the industrial metaverse rather than a definitive work grounded in the author's authoritative credentials. Only one work by him has been recorded so far, and whether further writings exist awaits more public information.
