IEEE MetaCom 2025 provides a forum for academic researchers and industry
practitioners to present research progress, exchange new ideas, and
identify future directions in the field of Computing, Networking, and
Applications for the Metaverse.

*Scope and Objectives*

The Metaverse, an immersive space supported by AR/VR/XR technologies that
integrate pervasive computing, augmented reality, and virtualization, is
one of the key enablers for the future society and an extension of today's
Internet of Things. It is envisioned to bring a revolution to the digital
world that spans areas from retail to defense, and from education to
virtual tourism. In the Metaverse, the physical world will be seamlessly
integrated with a cyber world through digitized physical objects (digital
twins), posing numerous challenges in human-machine interface design,
ultra-low latency communication, distributed synchronization, scalable
real-time operation, reliability and trustworthiness. New multimodal
content will be generated, calling for technologies for content authorship,
capture, and multimodal search. Generative AI will be used to enhance
virtual experiences that integrate physical and cyber components. The
integration will endow objects with new virtual capabilities, allow virtual
transformation in space and in time, and enable myriads of new services
leveraging the combined affordances of pervasive computing and virtual
environments. To realize this vision, a convergence of novel computing,
networking, and application technologies is needed to support the
development and use of Metaverse affordances in a wide range of domains
including industry, finance, medical care, smart cities, entertainment,
education, and agriculture.

IEEE MetaCom 2025 solicits original submissions from academia, industry,
