Abstract: A Metaverse Laboratory (ML) is a self-contained comprehensive research and development (R&D) laboratory facility for hybrid modeling and simulation, conceptual and engineering design, prototyping, and experimentation in an operational environment (real, virtual, or augmented) by analyzing consequences based on simulated or actual (live) inputs from either human actors and/or predetermined scenarios. A physical facility encloses a rendering area configured to receive projected images and physical devices or objects. User interaction may be accompanied by image rendering goggles in conjunction with physical interactions with vehicles, objects and/or other users disposed in the rendering area. Computing equipment for driving a rendered scenario directs the outputs including visual and tactile feedback according to the scenario, and input from sensors and users in the rendering area determines a computed response. The collective facility provides a generalized environment for programmed realities for modeling and simulation combined with tangible objects, devices and human actors.
