A Framework of Metaverse for Systems Engineering

Recently the Metaverse has received enormous attention around the world. The advanced metaverse will be a more realistic environment with greater specific and subtle interconnections, with less race, gender, and even physical impairment, all of which would be immensely helpful to society. However, metaverse is still in its infancy, with a lot of room for improvement. The industry has already begun to prepare for the metaverse’s enormous potential, supported by frenzied investment, yet there are few talks on metaverse in academia to scientifically lead its growth. In this paper, we present a metaverse design that adopts a global approach to technology, communication, and the environment. We propose an AI-driven metaverse model that might be deployed to realize the promise of model-based systems engineering in the near future. Finally, we offer research questions that should be taken up by academia to further the metaverse.
