Metaverse: Requirements, Architecture, Standards, Status, Challenges, and Perspectives
This work provides a foundational overview for researchers and developers working on virtual world technologies, but it is incremental as it synthesizes existing knowledge rather than introducing new methods or data.
The paper addresses the development of the Metaverse by outlining its architecture, requirements, standards, and challenges, focusing on integrating AI and ensuring security and privacy, without presenting specific experimental results or numerical outcomes.
The Metaverse is driving the next wave of innovation for new opportunities by replacing the digital world (Internet) with the virtual world through a single, shared, immersive, persistent 3D virtual space. In this paper, we present requirements, architecture, standards, challenges, and solutions for Metaverse. Specifically, we provide Metaverse architecture and requirements, and different standards for Metaverse which serve as the basis for the development and deployment. Moreover, we present recent status, challenges such as integration of AI and Metaverse, security and privacy in Metaverse, etc., and perspectives and solutions.
