Low Latency Real-Time Interaction in Metaverse Games

Description:
Players experience lag and delays in interactions, reducing the immersive experience in Metaverse games, especially in multiplayer environments.
Cause:
Inefficient network protocols, poor WebRTC implementation, or server overloading can cause delays in real-time interactions.
Solution:
Implement a WebRTC-based peer-to-peer (P2P) network alongside a fallback WebSocket connection for reduced latency and seamless gameplay.

import { RTCPeerConnection, RTCSessionDescription } from "wrtc";

const peerConnection = new RTCPeerConnection({
    iceServers: [{ urls: "stun:stun.l.google.com:19302" }],
});

peerConnection.onicecandidate = (event) => {
    if (event.candidate) {
        console.log("ICE Candidate:", event.candidate);
    }
};

peerConnection.ondatachannel = (event) => {
    const dataChannel = event.channel;
    dataChannel.onmessage = (msg) => console.log("Received:", msg.data);
};

const dataChannel = peerConnection.createDataChannel("gameChannel");
dataChannel.onopen = () => dataChannel.send("Hello, Metaverse!");
