ABSTRACT. This article reviews and advances existing literature concerning geolocation data mining and tracking, machine learning-based object recognition and digital twin technologies, and metaverse engagement metrics. I contribute to the literature by indicating that remote sensing and edge artificial intelligence computing systems, context awareness and machine learning-based image recognition tools, and wearable haptic garments enable immersive hyper-connected virtual spaces. Throughout April 2023, a quantitative literature review of the Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases was performed, with search terms including “3D cognitive digital twin metaverse” + “remote sensing and edge artificial intelligence computing systems,” “environment perception and geospatial mapping technologies,” and “simulation modeling and machine learning-based image recognition tools.” As research published in 2022 and 2023 was inspected, only 184 articles satisfied the eligibility criteria. By taking out controversial or ambiguous findings (insufficient/irrelevant data), outcomes unsubstantiated by replication, too general material, or studies with nearly identical titles, I selected 41 mainly empirical sources. Data visualization tools: Dimensions (bibliometric mapping) and VOSviewer (layout algorithms). Reporting quality assessment tool: PRISMA. Methodological quality assessment tools include: AXIS, MMAT, ROBIS, and SRDR.
Keywords: remote sensing; edge artificial intelligence computing systems; environment perception; geospatial mapping technologies; simulation modeling; machine learning; image recognition tools; 3D cognitive digital twin metaverse
