Desarrollo de un metaverso para un laboratorio remoto de iot

Abstract

The concept of metaverse has been growing in recent years, entering fields such as business, health, architecture or even education. The metaverse is a virtual space where users can interact with each other and with objects in an immersive way. Online education has helped several people to be able to study remotely, whether for mobility or monetary reasons, allowing access from anywhere. One of the weak points of this modality is the execution of the practical part, since when virtual laboratory practices are carried out, there are problems when acquiring knowledge. This work focuses on the development of a specific metaverse for a remote IoT laboratory, with the aim of providing an immersive environment where students can interact practically with objects and tools typical of an IoT laboratory. Performance testing has returned positive results, confirming comprehensive functionality of all software requirements. On the other hand, according to the hypothesis proposed, insufficient evidence was found to affirm that the metaverse improves the experience of using remote laboratories in students who participated in virtual practical activities using the metaverse developed in this work. The implementation of new functionality in the metaverse and expansion to a wider variety of devices can improve accessibility and potential impact on the user experience
