  The Metaverse has emerged as the successor of the conventional mobile
internet to change people's lifestyles. It has strict visual and physical
requirements to ensure an immersive experience (i.e., high visual quality, low
motion-to-photon latency, and real-time tactile and control experience).
However, the current technologies fall short to satisfy these requirements.
Mobile edge computing (MEC) has been indispensable to enable low latency and
powerful computing. Moreover, the sixth generation (6G) networks promise to
provide end users with seamless communications. In this paper, we explore and
demonstrate the synergistic relationship between 6G and mobile-edge
technologies in empowering the Metaverse with ubiquitous communications and
computation. This includes the usage of heterogeneous radios, intelligent
reflecting surfaces (IRS), non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), and digital
twins (DTs) - assisted MEC. We also discuss emerging communication paradigms
(i.e., semantic communication, holographic-type communication, and haptic
communication) to further satisfy the demand for human-type communications and
fulfill user preferences and immersive experiences in the Metaverse.
