Why is it important?

The paper explains the layers and complexity of realising a mining metaverse as a mine communications tool.

Perspectives

This article introduces the complexity of the Metaverse components as a taxonomy and was inspired from collaborative work completed by the Standards Australia IT-031 Modelling and Simulation Committee and International Standards Organisation ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 24 Committee. It is intended as a starting point for the mining industry towards understanding what the Mining Metaverse may be, and effectively embracing and managing this complex emerging technology in the future.
