Metaverse and Digital Twins: Transforming Virtual and Physical Worlds

Abstract

The emergence of the metaverse and digital twin technology is reshaping industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and urban planning. This paper explores how digital twins—virtual replicas of physical assets—enhance real-time monitoring, simulation, and predictive analytics. We examine the integration of digital twins with AI, IoT, and blockchain to improve decision-making processes. Additionally, we discuss the role of the metaverse in creating immersive virtual experiences, ethical considerations, and the challenges of developing a fully interconnected digital-physical ecosystem.
