Modern education faces persistent challenges, including disengagement, inequitable access to learning resources, and the lack of personalized instruction, particularly in virtual environments. In this perspective, we envision a transformative Metaverse classroom model, Multi-layered Immersive Learning Environment (Meta-MILE) address these critical issues. The Meta-MILE framework integrates essential components such as immersive infrastructure, interactions, social collaboration, advanced assessment techniques enhance student engagement inclusivity. By leveraging three-dimensional (3D) environments, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven personalization, gamified pathways, scenario-based evaluations, model offers tailored experiences that traditional classrooms often struggle achieve. Acknowledging potential challenges accessibility, infrastructure demands, data security, study proposed practical strategies ensure equitable safe interactions within Metaverse. Empirical findings from our pilot experiment demonstrated framework’s effectiveness improving skill acquisition, with broader implications for educational policy competency-based, experiential approaches. Looking ahead, advocate ongoing research validate long-term outcomes technological advancements make more accessible secure. Our perspective underscores shaping inclusive, future-ready environments capable meeting diverse needs learners worldwide.

This study explores how digital technologies and data analytics can transform urban waste management in smart cities by addressing systemic inefficiencies. Integrating perspectives from the Resource-Based View, Socio-Technical Systems Theory, Circular Economy Institutional research examines sustainability, operational efficiency, resilience extended supply chains. A case of Company its demand-side chain with Retailer B highlights key drivers waste, including overstocking, inventory mismanagement, inefficiencies transportation promotional activities. Using a mixed-methods approach, combines quantitative analysis advanced statistical techniques machine learning models. Key sources include records, sales forecasts, activities, logs, IoT sensor collected over two-year period. Machine were employed to uncover complex, non-linear relationships between generation. waste-type-specific emissions framework was used assess environmental impacts, while IoT-enabled optimization algorithms helped improve logistics efficiency reduce collection costs. Our findings indicate that adoption AI significantly reduced enhancing control, optimizing transportation, improving coordination. These innovations also align circular economy principles minimizing resource consumption emissions, contributing broader sustainability goals environments. The underscores importance integrating solutions into strategies foster more sustainable efficient While is particularly relevant food production retail sectors, it provides valuable insights for policymakers, planners, stakeholders. By bridging theoretical frameworks practical applications, this demonstrates potential drive cities.

The convergence of the Internet Physical–Virtual Things (IoPVT) and Metaverse presents a transformative opportunity for safety health monitoring in outdoor environments. This concept paper explores how integrating human activity recognition (HAR) with IoPVT within can revolutionize public safety, particularly urban settings challenging climates architectures. By seamlessly blending physical sensor networks immersive virtual environments, highlights future where real-time data collection, digital twin modeling, advanced analytics, predictive planning proactively enhance well-being. Specifically, three dimensions humans, technology, environment interact toward measuring health, climate. Three cultural scenarios showcase to utilize HAR–IoPVT sensors external staircases, rural climate, coastal infrastructure. Advanced algorithms analytics would identify potential hazards, enabling timely interventions reducing accidents. also societal benefits, such as proactive monitoring, enhanced emergency response, contributions smart city initiatives. Additionally, we address challenges research directions necessary realize this future, emphasizing AI technical scalability, ethical considerations, importance interdisciplinary collaboration designs policies. articulating an AI-driven HAR vision along required advancements edge-based fusion, responsiveness fog computing, social through cloud aim inspire academic community, industry stakeholders, policymakers collaborate shaping technology profoundly improves enhances enriches quality life.
