hTC VIVE Wave VR開放平台在中國的生態系統探討

Abstract

中國的虛擬實境產業在這二年的發展，從政策面的積極培植，加上適逢全球對VR投資的資本熱潮，在一片蓬勃發展的趨勢期待中，卻突然的急速衰退，產業停滯不前。hTC卻選擇在媒體稱之為VR產業寒冬期(2017年末)的此時，在中國推出hTC VIVE Wave VR開放平台，試圖在中國佈建自己的虛擬實境生態系統。然而要以hTC一己之力建構VR生態系統，將會是非常艱難的一條漫漫長路，所以VIVE Wave要以其開放式的平台架構，提供整合性的開發工具，希望邀請第三方合作夥伴一同來創造共利共榮的虛擬實境生態圈。 為了要探究中國的VR產業所遭遇的問題，本研究使用系統動力學的因果回饋圖來探究這個動態複雜的生態系統行為。藉由產生各個虛擬實境生態系統成員之間的複雜互動的因果關係，找出關鍵的資訊回饋環路，據以分析探討中國虛擬實境產業在現在的環境下，所遇到的問題以及可能的解決方案。期望透過系統動力學的輔助工具，具體發現hTC VIVE Wave 開放平台的優缺點。

For the past two years, the VR industry in China has rapidly declined, with about 90 percent of start-ups in the domestic market declaring bankruptcy. However, hTC VIVE has announced the newly launched VIVE Wave VR open platform at this moment. VIVE Wave is an open platform and toolset that will enable mobile VR ecosystem. The VIVE Wave provides high-performance device optimization for third party partners and vast content library for VR users to stimulate the VR ecosystem in China. To understand the pros and cons of VIVE Wave VR open platform, this research will use system dynamics as an approach to analyze the nonlinear behavior of ecosystem. This research will create Causal feedback loop diagram to find out all the information feedback loops in the system. It is helpful to know the problems in system through understanding what happened in those loops.
