Abstract

Recently, metaverse has attracted great attention worldwide with the development of related technologies and the demand for on-tact systems. The ideal metaverse should constitute a virtual world more similar to the realistic society with physical interactions. However, there are many constraints when we construct a virtual world using the existing commercialized metaverse platform. In this paper, we design and implement a university campus-based metaverse which minimizes the constraints, and create a virtual environment maps very similar to the real-world using Unity engine, Photon cloud and Playfab SDK for multi-user accessible to virtual world as a personal avatar. Also, this work includes attractive interaction based on exchange between users. Lastly, we illustrate our implemented metaverse works on Android phone, and it works without difficulty in terms of performance.
