The metaverse has awakened users' expectations of an immersive interaction that fuses the virtual digital world and the physical world across space and time. However, the metaverse is still in its infancy, typically expanding multi-player applications (e.g., multi-player games) to implement a prototype with the help of 5G/Beyond 5G, Artificial Intelligence, digital twin, and other enabling technologies. This article reviews the characteristics, key enabling technologies, and driving applications of the state-of-the-art metaverse. We focus on the immersive interactions perspective of the metaverse from the tasks, inputs, and feedback across the users, digital world, and physical world and reveal the key challenges. Afterwards, we present a multi-player interaction prototype platform based on a cloud-edge-device collaborative framework. Also, we evaluate it with centralized and device-to-device (D2D) approaches to verify the efficiency and flexibility of interactions. Finally, we point out future research approaches and discuss potential solutions to enable more stable and higher quality multi-player interactions for metaverse services. |
