Talk Abstract: Extended Reality and Metaverses have many common challenges related to content creation, visualization, usability and hardware technology. More specifically, Metaverses require large environments, full of data and objects interaction, demanding a lot of computational power. In this talk I will present some of these topics, such as hardware demand, foveated rendering techniques, cybersickness strategies, denoising rendering, among others. We will also present results and experiments that are being conducted by our research group at UFF.
