The term Metaverse describes an immersive and virtual world in which users interact using virtual reality, extended reality or augmented reality devices. Those devices may include headsets, Android devices or iOS devices. Originating from gaming, the technology is finding application for training, simulation and remote device control in military and commercial sectors. Generating the extended reality scene requires some serious processing power, beyond the capability of headsets or tablets. Hosting scene generation in the cloud, using chipsets such as Nvidia to create Cloud Extended Reality (CXR), solves this problem but creates a new problem, securing the information flow between cloud and device.
