While 5G is expected to pave the way for the Metaverse, 6G will be necessary to fully develop Metaverse software and applications.
The concept of the Metaverse aims to bring a fully-fledged extended reality environment to provide next generation applications and services. In the Metaverse, users can get the same experience as the real physical world through customized three dimensional (3D) virtual avatars.
Development of the Metaverse is backed by many technologies, including 5G, artificial intelligence, edge computing and extended reality.
The advent of 6G is envisaged to mark a significant milestone in the development of the Metaverse, acting as a conduit for the Metaverse’s more demanding technical requirements.
6G will be the force behind the Metaverse because of its near-zero-latency, a plethora of new services and upgraded real-world infrastructure.
There will likely be many supporting technologies that will rely on 6G in order to fulfill the grand Metaverse vision. One of those supporting technologies is the digital twin, a technique that can convert physical entities to virtual and digital models through information technology.
In the process of modeling, digital twin technology can map the composition, characteristics, functions, and performance of physical entities into the Metaverse in real time. Thus, digital twins and physical entities in the Metaverse are nearly equivalent. This will be what largely facilitates the fusion of the virtual and physical worlds.
Blockchain technology will also be a part of the Metaverse world. All objects in the Metaverse, such as digital twins, avatars, and complex maps, exist as digits. However, this inevitably requires servers’ storage capacity because of massive data. Meanwhile, the traditional centralized architecture cannot upload all the data to the cloud servers due to limited network resources.
On the other hand, the Metaverse system based on centralized architecture may lead to some risks such as monopoly and illegal control. To be more specific, a company in a monopoly position holds a large amount of personal data about its users. If the company’s servers are attacked, many users’ privacy could be leaked.
But with blockchain security, personal data would be exceedingly tamper proof and non-modifiable.
