Powering the metaverse: AR for the ‘real world’

The transition to the metaverse will necessitate extremely advanced future technologies.The world’s current computing, storage, and networking infrastructure is “simply not enough,” according to Intel, to power the metaverse for hundreds of millions of users simultaneously.

According to Intel, “We need several orders of magnitude more powerful computing capability, accessible at significantly lower latencies across a multitude of device form factors.”Major upgrades will be required to the internet’s entire infrastructure in order to scale these capabilities.

Integration of the physical and digital worlds, according to Johnson, is essential to the metaverse’s success, with augmented reality (AR) representing a better fit “for the real world.”
