6G Mobile-Edge Empowered Metaverse: Requirements, Technologies, Challenges and Research Directions

Understand

The Metaverse has emerged as the successor of the conventional mobile internet to change people's lifestyles.

• It has strict visual and physical requirements to ensure an immersive experience (i.e., high visual quality, low motion-to-photon latency, and real-time tactile and control experience).
• However, the current technologies fall short to satisfy these requirements.
• Mobile edge computing (MEC) has been indispensable to enable low latency and powerful computing.
