Researchers from Cluster, Inc., Nara Institute of Science and Technology, University of Tsukuba, and University of Electro-Communications developed MetaGadget, a framework that integrates IoT devices into commercial metaverse platforms using HTTP-based event triggers. This framework makes cross-reality application development accessible to non-technical users and supports both commercial and custom IoT devices, fostering novel multi-user interactions between physical and virtual environments.
Key insights
- The framework significantly lowers technical barriers, allowing non-technical users to successfully build IoT control systems in the metaverse.
- MetaGadget facilitates novel cross-reality interaction patterns, including social support through multi-space connections, cross-space presence representation, and interactive entertainment applications.
- The workshops revealed that while basic integration is accessible, more complex implementations still present a learning curve for users, and overall usability is influenced by the broader metaverse platform environment.
