Uppsala, Sweden–(Newsfile Corp. – July 11, 2023) – Uppsala University is proud to announce a significant research milestone achieved by Associate Professor Zhihan Lv and his team in the field of virtual reality and metaverse. Through their groundbreaking study titled “Building the Metaverse by Digital Twins at All Scales, State, Relation,” published in the esteemed journal Virtual Reality & Intelligent Hardware, the team has made significant strides in defining and constructing a genuine Metaverse. The vastness and ambiguity surrounding the concept have prompted a need for a clear and precise understanding of what constitutes the true essence of the Metaverse.

Prof. Zhihan Lv’s research offers a unique perspective on the Metaverse, drawing inspiration from the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu’s Tao Te Ching. By employing Digital Twins technology, the team aims to replicate both tangible and intangible aspects of the real world into the virtual realm, providing a bridge between reality and the virtual domain.

The construction of the Metaverse through Digital Twins technology requires a two-way expansion in scale, encompassing both macroscopic and microscopic levels. Prof. Lv’s research explores the acquisition of information across different scales, from subatomic particles and molecular structures to geographical landscapes and celestial bodies. This comprehensive representation allows for the inclusion of various states of matter and social relationships within the Metaverse, paving the way for a truly immersive and interconnected virtual environment.

Dr. Zhihan Lv, an IEEE Senior Member, British Computer Society Fellow, ACM Distinguished Speaker, and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow, has been at the forefront of this research. With his extensive experience and expertise, he has led the team in publishing over 300 papers, including more than 90 papers in prestigious IEEE/ACM Transactions. Dr. Lv’s contributions to the field have garnered numerous accolades and recognition, reinforcing Uppsala University’s position as a leading institution in cutting-edge research.

The achievements made by Prof. Lv and his team signify a major milestone in the development of the Metaverse. By integrating emerging technologies such as Digital Twins, Internet of Things, Virtual Reality, Blockchain, and Artificial Intelligence, the researchers are paving the way for a more mature research and development system.

Uppsala University remains committed to fostering an environment conducive to groundbreaking research and innovation. This milestone in building a real Metaverse marks an important step forward in the university’s mission to explore new frontiers in science and technology.
