    Abstract:

    We envision in the future the virtual world will mix and co-exist with
    the physical world in such an immersive way that we cannot tell what is
    real and what is virtual. We will live and interact with the virtual
    objects that are blended into our environments with advanced holographic technology or with high-quality head-mounted displays and lose the
    virtuality boundary. We call such a new reality Surreality. Our vision
    of “metaverse” is a multi-world. There are multiple virtual worlds developed by different technology companies and there is also the
    Surreality where real and virtual merged. While the metaverse may seem futuristic, catalysed by emerging technologies such as Extended Reality,
    5G, and Artificial Intelligence, the digital “big bang” of our
    cyberspace is not far away. This talk aims to offer a comprehensive
    framework that examines the latest metaverse development under the
    dimensions of state-of-the-art technologies and metaverse ecosystems, illustrates the possibility of the digital “big bang”, and proposes a concrete research agenda for the development of the metaverse.
