Peek the Edu-Metaverse: From an Educational Framework to the AI Challenges for Biometrics

The confirmed interest of the scientific community, the conspicuous investments of the major stakeholders and the reflections that have matured as a result of the extensive use of distance learning seem to suggest that the horizon of a metaverse for the educational context is becoming sharper and closer. Many of the peculiarities of distance education that a few years ago might have seemed ancillary or palliative are now necessary and decisive. One of the greatest efforts made by scientific research in recent years has been to untangle the potential and problems of Edu-Metaverse from the tangle resulting from a structural formulation that contemplates advanced and interconnected technologies. In the first part of the paper, the causes that require the development of a new educational-didactic model are taken up. Then, some possible technology-learning theory pairings are identified to support the Edu-Metaverse. Finally, an attempt will be made to verticalise by identifying possible challenges for Artificial Intelligence developments in Biometrics.
