AI for Immersive Metaverse Experience

Abstract

Metaverse has received a huge attention in recent times with several Big Techs having invested in this concept. Accenture defines the metaverse as "an evolution of the Internet that enables a user to move beyond 'browsing' to 'inhabiting' in a persistent, shared experience that spans the spectrum of our real world to the fully virtual and in between". The evolution that Metaverse brings can be seen along three dimensions: 1) shift towards spatial experiences: which includes 2D, 3D, augmented, virtual, and mixed reality immersive experiences, 2) shared co-presence: where users experience a persistent shared space with a sense of co-presence with others, and 3) trusted identities and transactions to address challenges of fake identities, products, and transactions as present in today's internet.
