Understand the future of the Internet with this wide-ranging analysis.

“Metaverse” is the term for applications that allow users to assume digital avatars to interact with other humans and software functions in a three-dimensional virtual space. These applications and the spaces they create constitute an exciting and challenging new frontier in digital communication. Surmounting the technological and conceptual barriers to creating the Metaverse will require researchers and engineers familiar with its underlying theories and a wide range of technologies and techniques.

Metaverse Communication and Computing Networks provides a comprehensive treatment of Metaverse theory and the technologies that can be brought to bear on this new pursuit. It begins by describing the Metaverse’s underlying architecture and infrastructure, physical and digital, before addressing how existing technologies are being adapted to its use. It concludes with an overview of the challenges facing the Metaverse. The result is a thorough introduction to a subject that may define the future of the Internet.

Edge-computing technologies are considered to be one of the fundamental infrastructures for the realization of the full-dive Metaverse. Edge computing refers to the deployment of edge servers with cloud computing capabilities at the edge of networks that can be accessed by end devices via wireless connections. On the one hand, edge servers provide Metaverse users with extremely low-latency access to edge servers for computing physical rules, rendering 3D environments, and training and inference of Artificial Intelligence (AI). On the other hand, edge servers provide real-time orchestration for immersion content, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), streaming, and social interactions among Metaverse users.
