The metaverse, a burgeoning virtual reality realm, has garnered substantial attention owing to its multifaceted applications. Rapid advancements and widespread acceptance of metaverse technologies have birthed a dynamic and intricate digital landscape. As various platforms, virtual worlds, and social networks within the metaverse increase, there is a growing imperative for a comprehensive analysis of its implications across societal, technological, and business dimensions. Notably, existing review studies have, for the past decade, primarily overlooked a metaverse‐based multidomain approach. A meticulous examination encompassing 207 research studies delves into the technological innovation of the metaverse, elucidating its future trajectory and ethical imperatives. Additionally, the article introduces the term “MetaWarria” to conceptualize potential conflicts arising from metaverse dynamics. The study discerns that healthcare (45%) and education (22%) are pivotal sectors steering metaverse developments, while the entertainment sector (9%) reshapes the corporate landscape. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a 9% role in enhancing the metaverse's marketing and user experience. Security, privacy, and policy concerns (11%) are addressed due to escalating threats, yielding practical solutions. The analysis underscores the metaverse's profound influence (57%) on the digital realm, a phenomenon accelerated by the COVID‐19 pandemic. The article culminates in contemplating the metaverse's role in future warfare and national security, introducing “MetaWarria” as a conceptual framework for such discussions.This article is categorized under: Application Areas > Health Care Application Areas > Science and Technology Fundamental Concepts of Data and Knowledge > Human Centricity and User Interaction

Virtual Reality (VR) has revolutionized how we interact with digital worlds. However, programming for VR remains a complex and challenging task, requiring specialized skills and knowledge. Powered by large language models (LLMs), DreamCodeVR is designed to assist users, irrespective of their coding skills, in crafting basic object behavior in VR environments by translating spoken language into code within an active application. This approach seeks to simplify the process of defining behaviors visual changes through speech. Our preliminary user study indicated that the system's speech interface supports elementary programming tasks, highlighting its potential to improve accessibility for users with varying technical skills. However, it also uncovered a wide range of challenges and opportunities. In an extensive discussion, we detail the system's strengths, weaknesses, and areas for future research.

“…It is a specific category of AI that aims to autonomously generate new content that imitates the content created by humans in different modalities, including images [42,94], audio [101,100], text [32,13], and even 3D objects [81,87]. With the rapid development of GenAI, various applications, such as text-to-image generation [68,116], textto-speech (TTS) synthesis [65,144], chatbot [1,79], and AI-empowered mixed reality (MR) [98,137], have been widely used by consumers. Recently, GenAI models rely on deep neural networks, such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) [39] and large language models (LLMs) [10] because of the higher complexity of the generative tasks.…”

<p>As a specific category of artificial intelligence (AI), generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) generates new content that resembles what is created by humans. The rapid development of GenAI systems has created a huge amount of new data on the Internet, posing new challenges to current computing and communication frameworks. Currently, GenAI services rely on the traditional cloud computing framework due to the need for large computation resources. However, such services will encounter high latency because of data transmission and a high volume of requests. On the other hand, edge-cloud computing can provide adequate computation power and low latency at the same time through the collaboration between edges and the cloud. Thus, it is attractive to build GenAI systems at scale by leveraging the edge-cloud computing paradigm. In this overview paper, we review recent developments in GenAI and edge-cloud computing, respectively. Then, we use two exemplary GenAI applications to discuss technical challenges in scaling up their solutions using edge-cloud collaborative systems. Finally, we list design considerations for training and deploying GenAI systems at scale and point out future research directions. </p>
