Overview
Metapresence technologies enable seamless collaboration among scientists, educators, students, and autonomous agents. AI-driven avatars foster novel communication paradigms that accelerate research, knowledge creation, and education. The research targets the design of virtual communication environments across complexity scales. These environments employ formal communication-protocol models adapted to human–human, human–AI, and AI–AI autonomous interaction, supporting modes from text dialogs to immersive collective spaces. A unified layer represents humans via autonomous digital knowledge twins and incorporates non-human AI avatars. Customizable sensory and sensor integrations refine user experience. Core algorithms ensure efficient acquisition, storage, and processing of heterogeneous data.
