Part 2: Key Technologies That Power the Metaverse

In Part 2, we explore perception technologies, the cornerstones of AR, VR, and the evolving Metaverse. These technologies encompass AI and computer vision, driving intelligent interactions and object recognition.

The Metaverse’s growth demands substantial computational power, including the cloud, the edge, distributed, and decentralized computing, which are all covered in this part.

Additionally, reconciling older and incompatible software with newer software within the Metaverse, as well as newer software interfacing, necessitates application programming interfaces (APIs). Software tools, including 3D modeling and AI-driven content generation, enrich the Metaverse’s 3D environment. We will explore the evolution of avatar creation, from basic to realistic representations.

Lastly, we will analyze the distinctions in User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) design between AR and VR and their relevance within...
