Call For Papers
IEEE MetaCom 2024 provides a forum for academic researchers and industry practitioners to present research progress, exchange new ideas, and identify future directions in the field of Computing, Networking, and Applications for the Metaverse.

Scope and Objectives

The Metaverse, an immersive space supported by AR/VR/XR technologies that integrate pervasive computing, augmented reality, and virtualization, is one of the key enablers for the future society and an extension of today's Internet of Things. It is envisioned to bring a revolution to the digital world that spans areas from retail to defense, and from education to virtual tourism. In the Metaverse, the physical world will be seamlessly integrated with a cyber world through digitized physical objects (digital twins), posing numerous challenges in human-machine interface design, ultra-low latency communication, distributed synchronization, scalable real-time operation, reliability and trustworthiness. New multimodal content will be generated, calling for technologies for content authorship, capture, and multimodal search. Generative AI will be used to enhance virtual experiences that integrate physical and cyber components. The integration will endow objects with new virtual capabilities, allow virtual transformation in space and in time, and enable myriads of new services leveraging the combined affordances of pervasive computing and virtual environments. To realize this vision, a convergence of novel computing, networking, and application technologies is needed to support the development and use of Metaverse affordances in a wide range of domains including industry, finance, medical care, smart cities, entertainment, education, and agriculture.
