Summary: The virtual world based on real-world data collected through IoT technology and using XR technology as UX is collectively referred to as a metaverse supporting IoT. The metaverse interface should be designed to alleviate difficulties experienced by persons with disabilities and those with specific needs who struggle with certain senses in the real world. This draft Recommendation defines the accessibility requirements that metaverse services supporting IoT should have. Digital twin technology, implemented through data accumulated through the Internet of Things (IoT) based technology, builds an identical virtual world to the real world. The digital twin can be used to digitally implement the geographical and temporal environment of the real world to monitor various information, conduct complex experiments or predict future events. Immersive extended reality (XR) technologies, such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR), can be used as a user experience (UX) in this virtual world. The virtual world based on real-world data collected through IoT technology and using XR technology as UX is collectively referred to as a metaverse supporting IoT. The metaverse supporting IoT can provide services in various fields, such as remote medical services, smart factories, smart agriculture, and simulation education.
