Development of Digital Twin Environment through Integration of Commercial Metaverse Platform and IoT Sensors of Smart Building

The digital transformation of smart cities and workplaces requires effective integration of physical and cyber spaces, yet existing digital twin solutions remain limited in supporting real-time, multi-user collaboration. While metaverse platforms enable shared virtual experiences, they have not supported comprehensive integration of IoT sensors on physical spaces, especially for large-scale smart architectural environments. This paper presents a digital twin environment that integrates Kajima Corp.'s smart building facility "The GEAR" in Singapore with a commercial metaverse platform Cluster. Our system consists of three key components: a standardized IoT sensor platform, a real-time data relay system, and an environmental data visualization framework. Quantitative end-to-end latency measurements confirm the feasibility of our approach for real-world applications in large architectural spaces. The proposed framework enables new forms of collaboration that transcend spatial constraints, advancing the development of next-generation interactive environments.
