XRI Metaverse

The Metaverse encompasses technologies related to the internet, virtual and augmented reality, and other domains toward smart interfaces that are hyper-connected, immersive, and engaging. However, Metaverse applications face inherent disconnects between virtual and physical components and interfaces. This work explores how an Extended Metaverse framework can be used to increase the seamless integration of interoperable agents between virtual and physical environments. It contributes an early theory and practice toward the synthesis of virtual and physical smart environments anticipating future designs and their potential for connected experiences. 

Design of an XRI Lamp Controller - In the extended metaverse, virtual representations adapt physical behaviors (lamp and bulb controller interface when fully immersed). Similar mixed reality interactions take place, for controlling the virtual when in physical environment.
