This keynote will address how the Metaverse can become the virtual world where DTs of humans and machines live and how to reliably connect DTs to the physical world.

Additionally, there is no existing infrastructure to reliably link the DTs in the virtual world to the integrated CPSs in the real world (like a car consisting of many ECUs with even more functions). Currently, there are no standardized interfaces to aggregate atomic DTs (e.g., the twin of the lowest-level function of a machine) to higher-level DTs providing more complex services in the virtual world. Today we have instances of digital twins that range from static descriptions of manufacturing data and material properties to live interfaces to operational data of cyber physical systems and the functions and services they provide. The concept of Digital Twins (DTs) has been discussed intensively for the past couple of years. THE CYBER-PHYSICAL METAVERSE – WHERE DIGITAL TWINS AND HUMANS COME TOGETHER This presentation reviews Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality applications and Silicon challenges. Innovations are mandatory to manage power consumption constraints and ensure both adequate battery life and a physically comfortable thermal envelope. One of the biggest challenges in realizing a comprehensive AR experience are the performance and form factor requiring new custom silicon. It represents a merging of the physical and the digital worlds into a rich, context aware and accessible user interface delivered through a socially acceptable form factor such as eyeglasses.
