The Internet of Things in Developing Metaverse
Dileep Kumar Murala, Sandeep Kumar Panda · 2023
The term “metaverse” refers to a collection of technological devices including those related to the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, artificial intelligence, and any other technical businesses, including the medical sector. The IoT and metaverse are each other's digital twins; in their virtual workstations, the metaverse makes extensive use of IoT gadgets. The blockchain-based metaverse makes use of these data, which carry an identifying tag that is unique to it, as traceable data. The use of such data as a resource for artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly important in the metaverse. You will be able to engage in social and economic activities not constrained by the limitations of the real world in a secure and unrestricted manner in the digital virtual world being built by the metaverse with the help of artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies. The deployment of these cutting-edge technologies will be accelerated. In this chapter, we will explore basic information about IoT; the metaverse; the relationship between IoT and the metaverse; the importance of the metaverse in IoT; the contribution of IoT for creating the metaverse; and the applications, advantages, and challenges of the IoT-based metaverse. We will conclude with future research directions.
