Towards Green Metaverse Networking Technologies, Advancements and Future Directions

Abstract: As the Metaverse is iteratively being defined, its potential to unleash the next wave of digital disruption and create real-life value becomes increasingly clear. With distinctive features of immersive experience, simultaneous interactivity, and user agency, the Metaverse has the capability to transform all walks of life. However, the enabling technologies of the Metaverse, i.e., digital twin, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and extended reality, are known to be energy-hungry, therefore raising concerns a… Show more

“…Many technology development companies prioritize sustainability goals toward more energy-efficient practices that shrink their current carbon emissions [16]. For example, the metaverse can support green networking technologies including minimizing the number of physical data centers, by storing data and information in the cloud [17]. It is important to design the metaverse platforms so that fewer specialized hardware resources and high computing power are required.…”

“…Overall, only 11 scientific publications (2.6%) about the metaverse addressed sustainability as the main topic, and 4 as a secondary topic in the WoS. This small number of publications is rather curious because at the same time, many scientific and media articles foresaw that the metaverse would significantly affect global and local economies, social relations, and the physical environment ( [1,7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], see also Section 5 Discussion). A major global economic boost is expected from its implementation.…”
