About This Topic
The rapid evolution of immersive technologies and digital twins is opening new frontiers in the development of intelligent, interactive, and interconnected digital environments. The convergence of the Metaverse, Digital Twins, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Extended Reality (XR), and the Internet of Things (IoT) offers unprecedented opportunities to transform how physical and virtual systems are designed, monitored, simulated, and experienced.
This Special Issue aims to explore recent advances, emerging trends, and innovative applications of Metaverse and Digital Twin technologies across multiple disciplines. Particular attention will be given to technological developments, integration frameworks, immersive simulations, real-time interactions, and human–digital system collaboration.
We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, and interdisciplinary studies addressing theoretical foundations, technological challenges, and practical implementations in fields such as engineering, education, healthcare, industrial manufacturing, smart cities, cultural heritage, and sustainable development.
By bringing together contributions from diverse research areas, this Special Issue seeks to advance scientific knowledge, identify emerging challenges, and promote innovative approaches to the development of next-generation digital ecosystems.
