Outline

This paper presents a vision for multimodal, multi-task (M3T) federated-based models (FedFMs) that can provide transformative capabilities for extended reality (XR) systems. We propose a modular architecture for FedFMs that integrates the expressive power of M3T-based models with the privacy-preserving model training principles of federated learning (FL), incorporating various orchestration paradigms for model training and aggregation. We focus on coding XR challenges that impact the implementation of FedFMs along the SHIFT dimensions: sensor and modal diversity, hardware heterogeneity and system-level constraints, interaction and implemented personalization, feature/task variability, and temporal and environmental variability. We demonstrate implementation of these dimensions in emerging and anticipated XR system applications and propose evaluation metrics, dataset requirements, and design tradeoffs necessary for the development of resource-aware FedFMs. We aim to provide a technical and conceptual foundation for context-aware privacy-preserving intelligence in next-generation XR systems.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
We propose a novel architecture for XR systems, M3T FedFMs, which offers the potential to improve performance while maintaining privacy.
A systematic approach is possible by defining various factors that affect XR system development in SHIFT dimensions.
We present evaluation metrics, dataset requirements, and design tradeoffs necessary for developing resource-aware FedFMs, providing guidelines for practical implementation.
Establishes the technical and conceptual foundation for developing context-aware, privacy-preserving intelligence for next-generation XR systems.
Limitations:
The proposed architecture and evaluation metrics remain at a conceptual level and have not yet been implemented or verified in practice.
Further research is needed to explore the applicability and generalizability to various XR applications.
Besides the SHIFT dimension, there may be other important factors to consider.
Further review is needed to determine the effectiveness and appropriateness of the proposed evaluation indicators.
There is a lack of specific plans for building and utilizing actual datasets.
