Abstract

The metaverse is the changing paradigm of the next-generation Internet. The goal is to create a collaborative virtual space of a virtual community fully immersed in technology. Metaverse expanded play, work, and social space. Powered by the advancement of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and Blockchain in addition to virtual technology such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Extended Reality (XR). To create a metaverse ecosystem consisting of avatars, content creation, virtual economy, ecological social acceptance, security and privacy. The metaverse applications are diverse in various professions and industries, such as education, libraries and learning resources, medicine, digital commerce, tourism, entertainment, exhibitions and art, transportation, and service applications, etc. However, it is also challenging to develop metaverses regarding the security and privacy of the metaverse and parallel worlds. It is an essential issue in the development of a just society. There is a virtual community equality parallel to the physical world and no cyberbullying, which will be able to make the most effective use of such technology to benefit a sustainable intelligent world.
