DiOS - An Extended Reality Operating System for the Metaverse

Driven by the recent improvements in device and networks capabilities, Extended Reality (XR) is becoming more pervasive; industry academia alike envision ambitious projects such as metaverse. However, XR still limited current architecture of mobile systems. This article makes case for an XR-specific operating system (XROS). An XROS integrates hardware-support, computer vision algorithms, networking primitives supporting technology. These represent physical-digital world a single shared resource among applications. Such allows development coherent system-wide interaction display methods, systematic privacy preservation on sensor data, performance improvement while simplifying application development.
