    time:December 2, 2022

    On November 18th, the second lecture of “Information, Communications and Artificial Intelligence Academic Lecture Series was successfully held, themed on Research on Metaverse and Its Discipline Development. Prof. Xiao Yong, Prof. Yin Haifan, Prof. Yang Xin, Prof. Wang Xinggang, Prof. Wang Wei and Prof. Wan Kai shared their investigation on the research institutes and curriculum of Metaverse in China and abroad, and introduced the application of Metaverse in games, intelligent driving and education.


    There are six major technological basis of Metaverse: artificial intelligence, interaction technology, Internet technology, Internet of things, block chains and electronic games. For these technologies, EIC all boasts profound  foundation. Wan Kai introduced the requirements of Metaverse for the next generation communication system and proposed new theories and technologies to improve the core technical indicators of network transmission (delay, reliability, frequency utilization, etc.). The progress made by EIC in  source compression and reducing the amount of data in the network was also demonstrated. Xiao Yong introduced the concept of semantic communication. In his opinion, semantic communication network is very likely to become one of the new basic paradigms of the Internet of everything which Metaverse will be based on in the future. Wang Wei introduced the Internet of vehicles technology integrating sensing, transmission and computing and SLAM technology in intelligent connected vehicles. Yang Xin shared the virtual -reality fusion technology in Metaverse, focusing on the vision-based 3D reconstruction technology and the multi-sensor fusion-based SLAM technology. Wang Xinggang shared the visual perception and reconstruction technology in Metaverse, focusing on the 3D object perception in driving scenes, and the 3D reconstruction of dynamic scenes and human bodies based on neural radiation fields.




    Participants have had heated discussion on Metaverse and proposed various ideas for the school to conduct research on Metaverse.
