IEEE VR 2023 Workshops Workshop: 1st IEEE VR Internal Workshop on Industrial Metaverse (I-Meta).

Industrial metaverse is the combination and application of virtual reality with other technologies in the industrial field, describing and connecting people, machines, materials, processes, and environments within the virtual space. Through the technologies such as digital twins, it seamlessly integrates and enables the interaction of the physical industrial space and the virtual industrial space, reciprocally improving industrial activities. By comprehensively simulating or emulating multiple scenarios, routes, and stages within the virtual space, it can cover the entire chain of industry and is shaping a new field with a promising and valuable future. Aiming at providing an open and exciting platform for promoting a new industrial digital ecology, the industrial metaverse (I-Meta) workshop focuses on constructing new industrial metaverses, from multiple fundamental dimensions to cutting-edge enabling technologies, and supporting typical industrial scenarios. This half-day workshop will invite all researchers and practitioners to participate and discuss new theories, architectures, technologies, patterns, or application scenarios of industrial metaverse, to share new scientific findings or practical achievements, and to describe the future vision of industrial metaverse for fostering new ideas.
