Realizing the Metaverse: A Communications and Networking Perspective

《虛擬實境實現指南》

Metaverse 是一種網際網路的版本，讓線上互動能在完全實現的虛擬空間中即時進行，這被視為無線通信的下一個前沿。它吸引了矽谷的大量投資和廣泛的媒體關注。然而，實現 Metaverse 所需的技術仍處於初期階段，若要邁出這一重大步伐，必須克服重大的障礙。

《實現 Metaverse》系統性地概述了這些挑戰及其可能的解決方案。該書聚焦於五個關鍵領域——基礎設施、接入、智能、安全和未來發展——提供了對 Metaverse 作為一個新興現實的首個全面、正式的探討。它將成為未來 Metaverse 技術發展的重要貢獻。

《實現 Metaverse》的讀者還將發現：
- 一個在該領域擁有豐富研究經驗的編輯團隊
- 對增強現實（AR）適應、觸覺反饋、人工智能等主題的詳細討論
- 對未解問題和未來研究前景的啟發性討論

《實現 Metaverse》非常適合無線技術、網絡通信及相關領域的研究生和高年級本科生，以及與 Metaverse 或相關技術有關的研究人員和行業專業人士。
