About MetaSphere

Bringing together researchers, industry leaders, technologists, policymakers, and practitioners working at the intersection of cloud technologies, virtualization, and metaverse / spatial computing.

MetaSphere Overview

The aim is to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue, showcase cutting-edge work, explore challenges and opportunities, and accelerate deployment of integrated systems that underpin future metaverse infrastructures.

  • The metaverse requires robust underlying infrastructure: scalable cloud, virtualization, edge computing, and distributed services.
  • Virtualization technologies (compute, network, storage) are foundational to how metaverse systems will scale, isolate, and orchestrate workloads.
  • Integrating real-world systems (IoT, digital twins, real-time simulation) with metaverse layers requires new architectural patterns.
  • Business, governance, security, privacy, economics, and user experience challenges abound; this conference addresses them jointly.
  • The conference is timely: the global metaverse market is projected to grow dramatically by 2026.
