Abstract
The Metaverse is evolving into a highly immersive and interactive digital ecosystem, fundamentally transforming how products are designed. This article examines the role of the Metaverse in shaping future practices for product design, emphasizing its potential for co-creation, rapid prototyping, and user-centric customization in virtual environments. Through an analysis of emerging trends and case studies, the article explores how the Metaverse can redefine the product design process, expanding the possibilities of design and creating new opportunities for interaction and personalization. This discussion aims to provide designers with up-to-date insights into leveraging the Metaverse to drive innovation in product design, ultimately reshaping consumer experiences in the digital era.
