Metaverse: Concept, Key Technologies, and Vision

Abstract

Metaverse is a collective term for all economic and social activities in the space where the physical world, digital world, and consciousness world are interactively integrated and mutually empowered. The metaverse is the advanced stage of digital civilization and the future formation of human society. The basis for developing metaverse is general digital technologies such as high-performance network, high-performance storage, high-performance computing, high-performance security, and artificial intelligence. On the basis of the above, the key to developing the metaverse lies in researching core technologies such as digital life technologies, trusted collaborative network technologies, natural interaction technologies, ubiquitous operating system technologies, technologies and methods for computational experiments, and theories and technologies for crowd intelligence science. We should take typical metaverse application scenarios as entry points, such as the key fields of agriculture, industry, service industry, military, social governance, and other economic and social areas, to break through key metaverse technologies and implement pilot demonstration projects of metaverse. Through the demonstration, we can systematically promote the application of metaverse in economy and society from point to line, and continuously iterate and evolve the metaverse technology to advance the metaverse to a higher stage. This paper systematically analyzes the current development status and future directions of metaverse from the concept, key technology, and vision of metaverse, paving the way for the subsequent research of metaverse.

Educational Advances in the Metaverse: Boosting Learning Through Virtual and Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence

“…This study highlights the need to develop robust security frameworks that protect against cyber attacks without compromising the educational experience M. Uddin et al [24]. Additionally, research by Y. Chai, J. Qian, and M. Younas [25] explores the secure and sustainable consumer experience in digital marketplaces, providing insights applicable to the design of safe, privacy-focused educational metaverses. And in the protection of user data [26].…”

Metaverse Solutions for Educational Evaluation

“…Educational evaluation plays an important role in deepening the reform of the education system and promoting the modernization of education. Metaverse [1,2], the latest form of the next-generation Internet, offers a fresh chance to change educational evaluation [3,4]. It creates a 3D virtual space with linked perception and shared characteristics that closely integrates the virtual and physical worlds.…”

“…(1) We present a metaverse exploration framework and summarize the current state of research within this framework, providing a stepping stone for the metaverse application in educational evaluation, as well as a reference for reforming the evaluation model. (2) We attempt to put forth a metaverse-based implementation scheme for educational evaluation, and elaborate on it from three perspectives: data acquisition, data analysis and processing, and data display and storage. Also, we give practical guides, highlight difficulties, and suggest methods for evaluating the implementation of this scheme.…”
