Associate Prof. Manabu Tsukada recently participated in the prestigious IEEE International Conference on Metaverse Computing, Networking, and Applications (IEEE MetaCom 2023) held in Kyoto, Japan from June 26-28, 2023. This conference served as a pivotal platform for discussing the integration of physical and cyber worlds, essential for developing the Metaverse. The conference emphasized the transformative potential of the Metaverse in various sectors, including industry, finance, healthcare, smart cities, entertainment, education, and agriculture. It highlighted the challenges and opportunities in areas such as human-machine interfaces, ultra-low latency, resource demands, reliability, and trustworthiness.
Prof. Tsukada presented a paper titled “Semantic Digital Twin for interoperability and comprehensive management of data assets.” The paper addressed the integration of real and virtual worlds through digital twins, focusing on overcoming data management challenges arising from object heterogeneity. The proposed method leverages semantics to construct a designer-oriented digital twin, enabling a generic description of dynamic behaviors of entities. During the conference, Prof. Tsukada had the opportunity to engage with fellow researchers, including Professor Jong-Hyouk Lee from Sejong University, and Assistant Professor Nakazato, discussing advancements and future directions in Metaverse technologies.
