"E-commerce" is just a "ferry boat." In the next 30 years, technology will be applied to all walks of life in society, but people do not have enough awareness. At the recent Yunqi Conference held in 2016, Ma Yun thrown the above question, but did not give the standard answer. When Alibaba starts not to mention the "e-commerce" concept in 2017, which "black technology" will be bet to create the future of "five new" (new retail, new manufacturing, new finance, new technology and new energy)?
Put on virtual reality equipment, reporters use their eyes to lock the target in three virtual scenes of shopping, games, and live broadcast. Just use “eyes†to stay for a few seconds and you can complete the payment directly. On another APP named "on the code", the reporter uses a smartphone to directly scan simulated landmarks such as hospitals, schools, convenience stores, etc., and can directly obtain coupons for the consumption of the scene and directly complete commodity inquiries and consumption.
The scenes of similar science and technology blockbusters were implemented one by one at yesterday's ants gold clothes stand at Yunqi Conference, relying on VR/AR technology. The reporter learned that VR payment is an innovative payment product that Ant Financial Studio F is working on. However, professionals who developed the technology admitted that the technology still needs to solve a series of problems. Among them, the difficulty of VRPay is to use a simple interactive form to complete the payment under the virtual shopping scene, and at the same time guarantee at least the same level of the underlying security of the mobile phone, including the combination of more biometric technologies and the payment standards in the virtual scene.
This reporter learned that VRPay technology is expected to go online within the year. In addition, the "on-code" AR function will also be embedded in the Alipay APP.
In addition, Ali played down the concept of "artificial intelligence" in yesterday's conference, instead focusing on elaborating the underlying computing power and data liberation, and pushing the newly upgraded autonomous operating system "Flying" to the front.
It is understood that "Apsara" is an ultra-large-scale general-purpose computing operating system independently developed by Ali Cloud and serving the world. It can connect millions of servers all over the world into a supercomputer and provide computing power to the society in the form of online public services. Its revolution lies in integrating the three directions of cloud computing: providing sufficient computing power to provide Generic computing capabilities provide Pratt & Whitney's computing power.
Yesterday, the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Alibaba Cloud announced a strategic cooperation. The two sides established the "National Astronomical Observatory - Alibaba Cloud Astronomical Big Data Joint Research Center," and based on "Flying Sky", Alibaba Cloud's ultra-large-scale computing capability was applied to astrophysics research. On the same day, "Flying Sky" was also announced for use in the "City Brain" project in Hangzhou, and was first used in traffic management. Top AI scientists from 13 companies, including Alibaba Cloud, participated in the program, including Dahua (002236), Hikvision (002415) and other listed companies.
[three major black technology directions]
AR/VR
According to data from Ai Media, last year the market size of China's virtual reality industry was 1.54 billion yuan, and it is expected to reach 5.66 billion yuan this year. By 2020, the market size will exceed 55 billion yuan. The virtual reality industry in China is developing rapidly. In foreign countries, after Facebook acquired Oculus for $2 billion in 2014, a total of 225 VCs have been performed in the virtual reality and augmented reality fields in recent years, and the investment amount reached 3.5 billion U.S. dollars. The agency expects the market potential of virtual reality and augmented reality hardware and software will reach 150 billion US dollars, and the compound growth rate will exceed 100% in the next 5 years.

artificial intelligence
Institutions believe that the wave of artificial intelligence has been set off and is expected to become the focus of future IT industry development. The BBC predicts that the artificial intelligence market will continue to maintain rapid growth. By 2020, the global artificial intelligence market will reach US$18.3 billion. According to iResearch data, the artificial intelligence market in China last year was about RMB 1.2 billion, and the growth rate in the next five years will reach 50%.
