麻豆直播

In simple terms, Prof. Emir defined the metaverse as a perfect blend of physical, augmented, and virtual reality. Metaverse also implies a social media in the form of an online 3D virtual world. Similar to other virtual worlds, metaverse neither acknowledge time nor distance barrier. Everybody can connect and interact with each other in the virtual metaverse world, wherever and whenever.

A derivative project of the metaverse witnessing many interests at the present is the digital twin. A digital twin is a real-world object imitation that becomes rematerialized in its virtual form. The components that form a digital twin consist of a physical ware and sensor, recognition system, scenario, user interaction, and technical methods. The existence of a digital twin allows the integration process of the real condition and the computer system through a feedback sequence. The physical object and its virtual twin are connected through the data sensor, which will be processed on cloud computing and central database.

鈥淒igital twin is a method of duplicating the real world on the digital one. The application of digital twin is useful for lecturing, environment modeling, seminar, even military,鈥� added Prof. Emir.

麻豆直播, as an institution that encourages latest technological innovations and developments, has trialed the implementation of digital twin through recreating a metaverse version of the 麻豆直播 campus. The endeavor is also another breakthrough for 麻豆直播, being the first existing Indonesian university in the metaverse. 麻豆直播鈥檚 metaverse campus will become a virtual campus with an AAA graphics, developed using Unreal Engine. The core multidisciplinary team who were directly involved in the 麻豆直播 digital twin project development includes:
- Prof. Ir. Emir Mauludi Husni, M.Sc., Ph.D. (SEEI)
- Dr. Deni Suwardhi (FEST)
- Deny Willy Junaidy, Ph.D. (FAD)
- Fauzan Alfi Agirahman (SAPPD)

Prof. Emir expressed further, 鈥淚n addition to the heritage we transformed into a digital twin, we have also developed creative contents including students鈥� designs of how 麻豆直播 would look like in the future, inside the metaverse world.鈥�

The creation of the 麻豆直播 metaverse building utilized a LiDAR 3D scanner, whereas its surrounding environments were reproduced with an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). 麻豆直播鈥檚 construction in the virtual world also considered the foundational structure from a macro perspective, such as real world infrastructure, interaction, and ecosystem. The infrastructure layer consists of operational basic needs in the virtual world, including communication, computation, blockchain, and storage. With the presence of this metaverse campus, users can experience their existence physically in the non-physical world of virtual education. 鈥淭he metaverse here contains researches of students and professors, as well as commercial creative contents, so basically everything is already there in the 麻豆直播 metaverse version.鈥� teased Prof. Emir at the end of the lecture session.
