IEEE SPS Italy Chapter

We warmly invite you to the S3P2023 IEEE SPS / EURASIP Summer School on Metaverse Technologies, organized with the support of the University of Cagliari, the IEEE Signal Processing Society, the European Association for Signal Processing, the IEEE Communication Society, and the IEEE SIG on Metaverse. The school will be held in the stunning "Il Lido" of Cagliari, a beach club located on the scenic Poetto Beach. The main goal of the School is to provide an overview of the state of the art on the different technologies enabling the Metaverse, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), 5G/6G networks, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Computer Vision, Cloud and Edge Computing, Cybersecurity, and Human-to-Computer Interaction (HCI) interfaces. All these technologies have an important role in providing a great experience to the users of Metaverse applications, which open the doors to social-based multiuser environments merging the physical world with the virtual world. In Metaverse environments, people can interact with the virtual world as well as with other people in real-time through their avatars, enabling new ways of socialization. Novel immersive multimedia-based applications are also made available, such as gaming, virtual tourism and events, online education, and entertainment. The School will bring together researchers and experts from academia and industry who will share their expert knowledge on the technologies at the basis of the Metaverse applications. We encourage participation of Ph.D. students, postdoc researchers, and industry practitioners interested in Metaverse-oriented applications and services.
