Introduction

Metaverse, as an extension of the Internet of People and an emerging concept in 2023, is going to bridge the real world to virtual world via information technology. By exploiting digitization and virtualization technologies, metaverse will act as a digital living space within brightly new social systems. This digital living space calls for the integration of many technologies, such as VR/AR/MR, 5G/6G communications, AI, and blockchain. It also brings multiple edging topics to meet people’s needs beyond the present technologies.

The 2023 IEEE International Conference on Metaverse (Metaverse’23) originates from the 2022 IEEE International Conference on Metaverse (Metaverse’22) & the 5th IEEE International Conference on Smart City (SCI’21). With the network communication, security, and computing technologies, Metaverse 2023 will be a primal international forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to exchange their novel research regarding advancements in the state-of-art of metaverse, as well as to identify the emerging research topics and open issues for further research.

The 2023 IEEE International Conference on Metaverse (Metaverse 2023) will include a highly selective program of technical papers, accompanied by workshops, demos, panel discussions, and keynote speeches. We welcome high-quality papers that describe original and unpublished research advancing the state of the art in ubiquitous intelligence and computing.
