2024 IEEE ISEMV
The inaugural 1st IEEE International Symposium on Emerging Metaverse (ISEMV), sponsored by the IEEE Metaverse Initiative, was held in October 2024 in Bellevue, the Greater Seattle Area, WA, USA. This event consisted of invited speakers, panels, oral presentations of peer-reviewed papers, poster presentations, and a competition.
We would like to express our gratitude for those that attended the event and helped to make it a success. Below are a few of the presentations from the 2024 event. To learn more about the event, please visit the IEEE ISEMV website.
The proceedings of ISEMV 2024 are now available at the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library:

Event Presentations
The Industrial Metaverse – Supercharging Industrial Efficiencies Towards Sustainability
The industrial Metaverse is key element allowing industrial companies to leapfrog their competitiveness while ensuring sustainability and great access to tech. Many of the building blocks required for its realization are in existence already today but are not consistently leveraged. A handful of examples shows how much innovation can be already triggered this way while companies embracing this realize a competitive advantage. Industrial Metaverse is not a single solution but rather a digitalization journey. To support this, Siemens has started the Siemens Xcelerator open business platform, allowing an ecosystem of capabilities to work together, while helping companies to accelerate their digital transformation towards the industrial metaverse era. The user centric approach of the industrial metaverse also lowers the entry barriers for non-experts allowing more stakeholders to engage in the decision processes leading to better and faster engineering decisions. Customer interviews suggest the validity of this approach and that many companies want to embrace the industrial metaverse to stay competitive. The success of of the industrial metaverse, however, will benefit from more standardization to connect the existing logical islands across the complete ecosystem of providers.

A Super Cockpit for the Metaverse
In addition to providing an update on the work of the Virtual World Society, Dr. Furness will recount some of his history in developing the Super Cockpit for the USAF in the 70s-80s. He will then convolve that with the current direction of the metaverse and AI communities to propose a new cockpit that this now needed to navigate our future in the metaverse: the Super Cockpit for the Mind.
Featured Speaker: Tom Furness, University of Washington, Virtual World Society

A Path for a Metaverse Standard
A standard is often a challenging undertaking because of the need to reconcile diverse requirements from the potential user communities and the adoption of competing technologies. Metaverse standardization is more challenging than most because there is no agreement on what a metaverse actually is, the large number of potential user communities and their often unexpressed needs, and the immaturity of some enabling technologies and their fast evolution. While the identification of user needs is important, it is possible to inquire about the basic nature of metaverse, develop a methodology, functional requirements, and specify a flexible platform open to expect sweeping requirements and technologies.
