AI, AIoT, IoT building blocks for Virtual Worlds
December 10, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 5:30 pm

The objective of this workshop is to continue the definition of the OPENVERSE Technological Framework incorporating the vision of experts from the AI, AIoT and IoT building blocks of Virtual Worlds.
While IoT provides the bridge between the physical and digital worlds through real-time data and sensor networks, AI brings the adaptability and scalability needed to move beyond static simulations toward dynamic, data-driven, and context-aware environments.
Together, AI and IoT (AIoT) create intelligent, responsive ecosystems that support seamless interaction between connected systems and users, driving the emergence of immersive, persistent, and interoperable Virtual Worlds.
Participants will explore how these architectures, frameworks, and toolchains support the creation, operation, and governance of Virtual Worlds across use cases with the aim of:
- Gather insights for the OPENVERSE Technological Framework, particularly regarding how AI technologies shape Virtual World infrastructures and integration across building blocks.
- Foster collaboration among European initiatives advancing AI-enabled VWs
- Promote synergies and knowledge exchange with other OPENVERSE assets, such as the Observatory.
This workshop is part of a series which aims at analysing the different building blocks of Virtual Worlds, while promoting exchange among specialists from various sectors to comprehensively address the opportunities and difficulties posed by the Virtual worlds and facilitate alignment and implementation actions.
