A New Challenges of Mirror Worlds: Network, cloud resources and energy issue
Abstract
At present, with the rapid development of information technology and telecommunications, mirror worlds are considered a highly promising direction for the evolution of the metaverse, alongside augmented reality (AR), virtual worlds, and lifelogging. Compared to other directions, mirror worlds are believed to offer greater practical value, but so far, they have not seen significant development, mainly due to technical and organizational challenges. The purpose of this study is to analyze the current state of development, identify existing issues, and propose directions for future research and development of mirror worlds. The main method used is the collection, synthesis, and analysis of data from reliable sources such as IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) to provide the most objective evaluation. The research is based on existing standards, frameworks, and real-world data, offering an overview of the factors influencing the formation and development of mirror worlds. Although previous studies have demonstrated the value and potential applications of mirror worlds and proposed several standard frameworks, their practical implementation remains limited. This article aims to provide an overview for researchers, developers, and other stakeholders, thereby contributing to bringing mirror world technology closer to real-world applications
