Abstract
The Metaverse comprises technologies to enable virtual twins of the real world, via mixed reality, internet of things, and others. As it matures unique challenges arise such as a lack of strong connections between virtual and physical worlds. This work presents design frameworks for cross-reality hybrid spaces. Contributions include: i) clarifying the metaverse “disconnect”, ii) extended metaverse design frameworks, iii) prototypes, and iv) discussions toward new metaverse smart environments.
