    Industry goes metaverse – the fusion of real and virtual industrial worlds exemplified by the wastewater industry
    (i-com: Vol. 21, No. 3, 2022) Cerniauskas, Tomas; Werth, Dirk
    Meeting friends to go shopping, visit a concert or do some sports together – all this and more is now “virtually” possible in the Metaverse. Currently, the creative industries have made the most of the potential of virtual worlds. But the metaverse has no limits. The newly created dynamics raise the question of the extent to which the manufacturing industry can benefit from the potential of these virtual worlds. So far, augmented reality (AR) has been recognized as being useful to the manufacturing industry. The combination of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) now unleashes new opportunities for industrial companies. For example, by making a virtual inspection of unmanned facilities possible. A project which has been put into practice by the Entsorgungsverband Saar (EVS) in cooperation with the August-Wilhelm Scheer Institute.

    There’s more than one metaverse
    (i-com: Vol. 21, No. 3, 2022) Buchholz, Florian; Oppermann, Leif; Prinz, Wolfgang
    Will there only be one Metaverse in the future? Since October 2021, many virtual worlds suddenly called themselves “Metaverse”, but is that justified? What is the meaning behind the pervasive term Metaverse? How can it be approached from a pragmatic and research-oriented point of view, and maybe separated a bit from pure marketing? This paper tries to contextualise the term and thereby offer an orientation for readers from different industries. Based on a review of past and present activities, we will propose our own definition of the term Metaverse. This is applied to analyse different application scenarios before the paper continues with a general discussion. In a direct comparison, we will tabulate some worlds that already call themselves a Metaverse and check them against criteria from our own definition. In conclusion, we present relevant focal points for a potential future Metaverse resulting from this comparison.
