Key features of our Metaverse applications include:
- Next-Gen immersive based broadcast content: Offering a new dimension of content through an example of future immersive debates, showing the potential of Metaverse interactions for next massive media productions.
- Virtual Collaboration Spaces: Empowering teams to collaborate in dynamic and interactive 3D environments that foster creativity and innovation supported by holographic telecommunications.”
Architectural Innovation: Building the Foundation of the Metaverse
Christos Verikoukis, from Industrial Systems Institute, and the 6GB-BRICKS project coordinator, comments the following about the provided technical solutions:
“The architecture of 6G-BRICKS, introduces a novel design centered around Intent Driven Autonomous Networks (IDAN), disaggregated management planes, and breakthrough 6G technologies such as Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) and Cell-Free networking. This architecture promises an agile, evolvable platform supporting a wide range of applications from digital twinning to ultra-reliable low-latency communications. Moreover, the architecture of the 6G-BRICKS project, is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence. Our architecture is built on a robust, scalable framework that ensures a seamless and responsive user experience. By incorporating advanced technologies such as blockchain for secure transactions, AI for dynamic content generation, and cloud computing for scalability, we are setting new standards in Metaverse development. Highlights of our architecture include:
- Scalable Infrastructure: Designed to support millions of users simultaneously, ensuring a smooth and lag-free experience.
- Security and Privacy: Implementing cutting-edge security measures to protect user data and transactions within the Metaverse.
- Interoperability: Facilitating a seamless integration with existing digital platforms and services, allowing for a unified and comprehensive digital ecosystem.”
Conclusion
With the launch of the 6G-BRICKS project, Project consortium is not just envisioning the future of digital interaction – they are creating it. As they embark on this exciting journey, they invite partners, creators, and users to join them in exploring the limitless possibilities of the Metaverse. Together, they will build new worlds, foster communities, and redefine what it means to connect in the digital age.
6G-BRICKS project has received funding from the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) under the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under Grand Agreement No 101096954.
