Abstract

This chapter focuses on discussing the evolution of the Metaverse as well as the difficulties that have been encountered. It provides a concise overview of the evolution of cyberspace as well as the importance of technological enablers. Edge computing can reduce the user-experienced latency when compared with cloud offloading. The chapter emphasizes a number of essential challenges, both from a technical and an ecosystemic point of view, that are necessary for the construction and maintenance of the Metaverse. It looks at bottom-up approach to discuss the three most important aspects, which have been inherited from the viewpoints of ubiquitous computing in particular: the network and mobile edge, system interoperability, and user-centric immersive design, which are representing the network, the system, and human users. All the immersive technologies that will deliver entry points to Metaverse via multiple types of devices will have access to potentially private users' data.
