1.1 INTRODUCTION
The metaverse and science fiction the is a hypothetical literation of the internet as a single,
universal and immersive Virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual reality (VR) and
the Augmented Reality (AR) headset. A metaverse is a network of 3D virtual world focused
on social connection. Metaverse is considered a next evolution of the internet. Metaverse is
not the one place it is the aggregate of the new digital space that people are calling that the
next iteration of the internet. Metaverse is the collection of every virtual world built using
blockchain technology. Metaverse looks like the real world when you time when you arrive
to new destination.
1.2 USES OF METAVERSE

The metaverse is the three-dimensional virtual space that resemble our real world. Users of
the metaverse can come together inside the digital universe, socialize, and do activates like
playing game visiting to the shopping malls and hanging out with friends. metaverse is
gaining traction globally with the company’s investment, good chucks of their research and
money in discovering metaverse use cases beyond social media and entertainment. The users
are as follows: -
1) Gaming: -
Gaming industry is said to be one of the cores and the primary investors in the meta
verse technology. This technology allows player to interacts with other participants
within a signal interoperable environment.
Gaming example in the metaverse are the Sandbox Sorare and Axie Infinity. Axie
Infinity currently posses over 350000 average active daily users and over 3 million
monthly users. metaverse gaming have specific attributes that make the player
experience special.
2) Travel and Tourism: -
Virtual tourism is one of the most forward-looking use cases of metaverse. here the
technology lets you travel in a virtual environment which is a bonus point for the
users who cannot travel long distance. expert claim that the metaverse creation of the
immersive digital experience with AR and VR is the biggest breakthrough in the
travel industry with 360 virtual tour you can not only watch the location recorded but
also
present digitally in the desired location with realistic effect. A very popular instance
is Thomas cook launching the virtual reality holiday try before you fly that help the
potential tourists to visit their destination virtually.
3) Education and Learning: -
The education and learning potential of the metaverse is as promising as its other
applications. VR combined with effects of metaverse has brought the learning
experience to a qualitative new level. Student can now watch live experiment with
more intensive and high-quality knowledge resource. A recent video in New York
exhibits school student learning astronomy in a virtual spaceship rather than in a
classroom.
4) Real Estate: -
one of the core features of the metaverse is its ability to offer the client an ultimate
virtual reality experience it’s no surprise that a market niche of real estate can be
profitable with metaverse. With metaverse property tour option the realtors do not
have to travel to the site the client does not need waste time traveling to dozens of
properties. in fact, the prospective buyer can take a metaverse real estate tour and
explore all possible option in real time. moreover, the virtual word in metaverse can
be adapted to the client’s scale taste and design. Real estate sector is also looking
forward to investing in metaverse app development specifically designed for the
realtors needs and requirements.
5) Social Media and Entertainment: -
Metaverse for social media is a long running concept that has radically transformed
online entertainment for audience users have now started communicating using digital
avatar and virtual clones. On another instance Facebook has already changed its name
meta which is an obvious sign of heavy business opportunities the digital media
space. similarly, metaverse application are implemented in fashion and e-commerce
industry sports industry and hopefully soon in manufacturing lot and supply chain
industry.
1.3 HISTORY OF MEATVERSE

1991 – Birth of the Internet
On the 6th of August 1991, Tim Berners-Lee posted the very first public invitation for
collaboration on the WorldWideWeb. This is the date the Internet was born.
1992 – Snow Crash
The very next year, science fiction writer Neal Stephenson coined the term ―metaverse‖ in his
1992 novel Snow Crash, where humans, as avatars, interact with each other and software
agents, in a three-dimensional virtual space that uses the metaphor of the real world.
1993 – Proof of Work
The term and concept were introduced in the context of computer security as a way to prevent
email spamming. Later, proof work became one of the primary techniques for verifying and
legitimizing transactions on a blockchain, specifically – cyber currency mining based on
computer power.
1998 – B-Money
Computer engineer Wei Dei revealed his concept for b-money, a decentralized, distributed
cryptocurrency. It never came to pass but some of the concepts are very similar to those in
Bitcoin, which emerged years later. One element was the use of Proof of Stake, an alternative
mining algorithm that relies on the developer’s current holdings of the cryptocurrency rather
than raw computing power.
2002 – Digital Twins
The concept and model of the digital twin – the digital counterpart of a physical object – was
publicly introduced in 2002 by Michael Grieves, then of the University of Michigan, at a
Society of Manufacturing Engineers conference. Grieves proposed the digital twin as the
conceptual model underlying product lifecycle management.
2003 – Second Life
Second Life is the online virtual world, developed by Philip Rosedale and his team at Linden
Lab in 2003. It was very much a precursor to the Metaverse worlds being developed today.
One of the biggest problems Second Life users faced was low bandwidths and high ―res‖
times making it a less-than-optimal experience. But even today, Second Life has an active
user base of a million people, each spending over four hours a day in this virtual world.
2006 – Roblox
This online platform was introduced that allowed users to create and play games developed
by other users. During the 2020 pandemic, it became a significant source of interaction for
young people, and it became the third-highest-grossing game that year.
2009 – Bitcoin
On the 3rd of January in 2009, the bitcoin network came into existence with its mysterious
founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, mining the genesis block of bitcoin (block number 0), which
yielded a reward of 50 bitcoins. This was the day Bitcoin was born.
2009 – Blockchain
Along with the invention of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto also invented blockchain to serve as
the public transaction ledger for Bitcoin. Even though others have claimed to have invented
the concept of blockchain earlier, the same day that Bitcoin was launched is the same day that
a usable form of Blockchain was born.
2010 – Play-to-Earn Technology
Gacha games had grown popular in Japan by the early 2010s, based on the capsule toy
vending machine concept, with the earliest known system being in MapleStory. Players
would earn currency that they could use to participate in a random draw from a set of items
based on pre-determined rarities, often with the goal to collect all of a one set of items to gain
a powerful in-game reward.
2011 – Ready Player One
This novel by Ernest Cline introduced many young people to the concept of a virtual reality
world. The Steven Spielberg adaptation in 2018 made the idea even more vivid and the
interest more widespread.
2012 – NFTs
An NFT or ―Nifty‖ is a Non-Fungible Token, representing a unique item instead of fungible

tokens, which are mutually interchangeable, such as cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. The
concept of NFTs has been with us since December 2012 with the creation of ―Colored
Coins,‖ in which additional information is incorporated onto a bitcoin so that it is no longer
fungible but unique. This, interestingly enough, was a project spearheaded by a young Vitalik
Buterin as he worked on improvements for the Bitcoin blockchain.
2014 – Vitalik Buterin
The Thiel Fellowship – In 1999, Peter Thiel’s company Confinity merged with Elon Musk’s
company X.com to form PayPal. Three years later, eBay bought PayPal for $1.5 billion,
making both Musk and Thiel very wealthy. In 2010, Peter Thiel announced the formation of
the Thiel Fellowship, offering $100,000 grants for students under the age of 22 to leave
school and pursue other work. In 2014, one of the recipients of this grant was 20-year-old
Vitalik Buterin, the co-creator of Ethereum.
2015 – Ethereum
In July of 2015, Vitalik Buterin and Gavin Wood launched the Ethereum Network, along
with the ethereum blockchain.
2015 – Decentraland
The first iteration of this virtual reality platform was introduced in 2015. It allocated ―land‖
via a proof of work algorithm. The 2021 boom in NFTs has led to sales of some of the
game’s real estate plots for more than $100,000.
2015 – Smart Contracts
Smart contracts were first proposed in the early 1990s by Nick Szabo, who coined the term to
refer to ―a set of promises, specified in digital form, including protocols within which the
parties perform on these promises.‖ Since the 2015 launch of the Ethereum blockchain, the
term ―smart contract‖ has been more specifically applied toward the notion of general-
purpose computation that takes place on a blockchain or distributed ledger.
2016 – Pokémon GO
Pokémon Go was the first game to overlay a virtual world onto the real world. It uses mobile
devices with GPS to locate, capture, train, and battle virtual creatures, called Pokémon, which
appear as if they are in the player’s real-world location.
2016 – The DAO – Decentralized Autonomous Organizations
The company named The DAO was launched through a crowdfunded token sale in May
2016, setting the record for the largest crowdfunding campaign in history at that time. It was
meant to be an alternative venture capital fund, created on Ethereum’s blockchain, that would
serve as a decentralized funding model. In June 2016, users exploited a vulnerability in The
DAO code which enabled them to siphon off one-third of DAO’s funds into a subsidiary
account. This led to the death of The DAO as a company. But the concept of decentralized
autonomous organizations (DAOs) lives on, yet substantially improved by lessons learned
from The DAO experience. Moving forward, each DAO will serve as an essential ingredient
for future metaverse companies that are governed collectively by participants in the
organization, with rules and financial transactions recorded on the blockchain. DAOs, for
example, have been formed around joint ownership of NFTs.
2017 – Fortnite
This multiplayer video game was a huge success upon its release, and it introduced many
people to the look and feel of the metaverse and cryptocurrency. Fortnite user base totals 350
million.
2018 – Dai Stablecoin
The Dai Stablecoin was introduced to add a new element to the volatile crypto universe. In
contrast to cryptocurrencies that aren’t anchored to any fiat currency or are only anchored to
other cryptocurrencies, the centralized Dai Stablecoin was pegged to the U.S. dollar, making
it far less volatile and more reliable cryptocurrency for decentralized finance (DeFi). Today,
blockchain-based banking services are available on a number of similar platforms for
cryptocurrency borrowing, lending, and investing. For now, they’re largely unregulated by
our traditional institutions, and users seem just fine with that, for the most part.
2018 – Decentralized Exchanges (DEX)
Cyber currency exchanges took a major PR hit when Bancor lost $13.5 million to hackers.
Although their legal/regulatory foundation remains a little uncertain, DEXes continue to
serve as a way for people to sell and trade their cyber currency assets person-to-person based
on smart contracts, rather than through a centralized exchange.
2018 – Axie Infinity
The popular NFT virtual reality game, Axie Infinity, based on a mythical world of animal
husbandry, was introduced this year. By mid-2021 it had the highest combined value of NFTs
of all play-to-earn game platforms.
2020 – COVID
When COVID exploded on the scene in 2020, people around the world found themselves
being quarantined with few options to dedicate their time and energy to. For this reason, the
metaverse quickly became the go-to place for a growing number of young people, gamers,
and those wanting to make money in the online world. In our polarized world, the metaverse
has taken on a tone of rebelling against current institutions – the more ingrained they are
more they’re at risk. This is pushing people to the underground economies and worlds of the
metaverse, setting up a ―perfect storm‖ for Metaverse growth.
2020 – Decentralized Apps (Dapps)
The value of the tokens on the six major blockchain platforms surpassed $2 billion. The
movement to cut out the middleman continues, as open-source, transparent applications
continue to emerge to enable gaming, DEXes, DeFi, and other acronymized uses. While
many people refer to dapps as an emerging trend, the first dapp was actually the Bitcoin app
more than a decade ago.
2020 – First Concert in the Metaverse
In April 2020, Travis Scott and Marshmello performed in the video game, Fortnite to just
under 30 million people.
2020 – Solana
Also in April, the Solana blockchain dapp was introduced. In contrast to Ethereum, this
dapp’s cryptocurrency, called a SOL, is mined based on the alternate proof of stake (POS)
algorithm. Further, issues related to block ownership were clarified and simplified in Solana,
with a new consensus tool known as ―proof of history‖ that inserts timestamps into its
blockchain.
2020 – Alien Worlds
This wildly popular dapp was created with a multi-metaverse interplanetary scenario that had
NFT characters interacting in a decentralized autonomous organization to mine tokens and
perform other tasks. By 2021 Alien Worlds had more than 2.5 million users, but its
significance goes beyond that – the game has been built around critical lessons for teaching
people about the principles of cryptocurrency and crypto-mining.
1.4 DIFFERENT SECTORS OF METAVERSE
How Metaverse is impacting industries across various sectors:
In the 21st century, every sector or industry is driven by advanced technology. With
digitization catching everyone’s attention, the rise in the user demand for richer experiences
has led organizations to consider newer technologies like Metaverse.
Metaverse is a virtual world that includes Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)
for users to experience a social interaction enhanced with wearable gadgets. The word
―Meta‖ means beyond, and the ―verse‖ is taken from the universe that vaguely explains the
term’s meaning. But, Metaverse is much more than a summation of two words. It combines
several new-age technologies such as Web3.0, Blockchain, NFT, Gaming, Virtual Estate,
Digital Avatars, and much more, giving consumers an immersive world experience.
Brands know that Metaverse has the potential to enhance a digital environment for their
customers. Therefore, they are actively incorporating this technology into their daily
operations. According to a former study by McKinney & Company, Venture Capitalists (VC)
and Private Equity (PE) firms have, so far, invested $120 Billion (USD) in building the
metaverse experiences.
1.5 IMPACT OF METAVERSE ON MULTIPLE SECTORS
Gartner believes that the organizations using Metaverse can virtually connect and engage
customers with the principle of Human-Machine interaction, thus, generating a new economy
of income streams. However, with evolving customer behaviour, several changes have been
made in Metaverse in terms of interface, avatars, accessibility, and use cases. Among several
sectors listed below are the industries that Metaverse is impacting effectively.
1.5.1 Facilitating a virtual test drive for Automotive Industry
Many luxury automobile companies are incorporating Metaverse to deliver a real-life

environment for the customers who want to experience their vehicles. One such use case of
the technology is the creation of 3D virtual showrooms where users can configure the car
model and its features. The users can have virtual interactions with other customers through
Metaverse features such as audio chat rooms. They can also indulge in vehicle modifications,
virtual test drives, and gamification with time trials, creating a never-like-before consumer-
manufacturer bond.
With the power of Blockchain technology, companies have launched their NFTs for the
audience to invest and trade in an online marketplace. In addition, they collaborate with
creative agencies and artists to showcase design concepts for Metaverse automobiles. Also, to
make their workplaces Metaverse ready, organizations are implementing the technology for
meetings, information sharing, virtual offices, and training their employees
1.5.2 Virtual showrooms for the Retail and eCommerce sector
With concepts like omnichannel marketing in the play, customer reach is a crucial parameter
for the brands. Businesses see high potential with the technology of Metaverse to cater to an
enriched consumer experience. It is also changing the methods of the customer journey with
an interactive approach while providing an in-store environment at the fingertips.
With Metaverse, they can build a close relationship with prospective customers for better
acquisition and engagement. By studying numerous benefits of the concept, McKinney and
Company forecast in a study that the market size of the eCommerce industry will be between
$2 trillion- $2.6 trillion when infused with Metaverse.
Other sectors such as skincare, beauty, and fashion are also riding on the Metaverse
bandwagon. Leading brands are using Artificial intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality
(AR) for try-outs of their products with virtual showrooms and skin analysis tools. For
increasing acquisition, these options are embedded in the eCommerce websites that lead the
prospect to the ―add to cart‖ option through a redirect.
1.5.3 Architects and Designers giving 3D infrastructure experiences with

Metaverse
In the architecture industry, while the 3D designing concept is already in operation,

Metaverse will provide a walkthrough for the customers to experience the simulation of an
infrastructure or a building before its physical construction. Designers can present the
interiors and exteriors of a particular building or even design entire city structures under the
influence of meta-spaces.
Within various systems, these structures can be analysed with simulations of real-life
scenarios to check their durability and strength. On the platform of Metaverse, many
designers around the globe can come together and collaborate in a virtual working space to
develop much better worlds, digital spaces, shopping malls, hospitals, workplaces, and a lot
more.
Summing Up!
The Metaverse has the potential to fill the gap between the physical and digital worlds,
bringing you a physical journey. With its increasing recognition in several industries, brands
are adopting this technology to keep a competitive edge in the market. However, for smooth
implementation, industry experts believe Metaverse is a trendsetting factor built on an open
platform with its foundations accessible to everybody.
Metaverse acts as an industry-agnostic approach for interlinking customer experiences across

multiple platforms. Also, it ensures the interoperability between layers that the industry has
been demanding for a long time. With Metaverse leaving its footprints across varying
industries, many brands are eager to reinvent and transform this concept to cater to their
customers’ needs by syncing their envisioned organizational goals.
1.6 STRUCTURE OF METAVERSE
There is a three layer in the structure of meta verse which are as follows: -
1) Virtual world -------------- Ecosystem ---------------- User generated content

Economics
Artificial intelligence
2) Intersection ---------------- Intersection --------------- Immersive user
Digital twins
Content creation
3) Physical world--------------Infrastructure--------------blockchain and storage

Communication
Computational power
1.7 HOW PEOPLE WILL USE METAVERSE

In order to Ause metaverse to its fullest there are few basic requirements for the general users
like technical literacy and availability: -
A. Fast symmetrical broadband speeds with low latency, under 10 milliseconds.
B. High resolution displays for enhanced experience as video 4K is not good enough
resolution to convey the pixels needed to create immersive worlds. And that means big
data files.
C. With big data files, we’re going to need the next generation of video compression
that can compress huge data files in real-time, and that can be decompressed
without adding delay to the signal.
D. Hardware: The type of hardware used in the metaverse will be a pair of glasses that will
be used to create a 3D virtual reality image in front of the eye of the users. These pair of
glasses form a three-dimensional image on the screen on the hardware of the metaverse.
It may be a pair of AR spectacles or a virtual reality headset like the Oculus Quest 2.
These hardware devices play an important role by giving an immersive experience to the
users about them so that the users feel that he is really in person next to what is
happening on these pair of virtual reality glasses.
E. Software: Popular game development engines like Unity, Amazon Sumerian, and Unreal
Engine 4 (UE4) are someone of the most powerful sets of VR development tools. They
allow the real-time rendering of visuals in the graphics used to display virtual reality to
the users. These software tools have the capability to initiate high-fidelity real-time
graphics, and artistic tools and graphics. They have the compatibility with all popular VR
platforms like Oculus, Sony, etc.
F. Knowledge about non fungible tokens
1.8 ADVANTAGES OF METAVERSE
1. Connecting the World and Negating Physical Distance
The most notable advantage of the metaverse would is the fact that it completely makes
geographic barriers irrelevant. Once you’re in the virtual world, your physical location
doesn’t matter anymore and you are no longer bound by it.
The metaverse will act as a neutral space where everyone can meet as equals to some extent.
On top of that, finding and meeting people with similar interests and ideas will be easier, will
feel more authentic, and allow you to feel more comfortable meeting new friends from the
safety of your home.
2. Immersive Experience
Think of the metaverse as a 3D upgrade to the traditional way of using the internet. A more
immersive way of experiencing the different aspects of the net and all that it offers.
The big advantage of the metaverse is that you are more enveloped in whatever activity
you’re doing. You experience everything in the most immersive way which allows for more
opportunities for both personal and business ventures. You can exercise, socialize, play
games, and have business meetings in a virtual environment.
3. Better Social Interactions Online
During the Covid quarantine, the only way to interact with other humans was through the
internet, despite it not being the most interactive experience.
However, things are different in the metaverse with social interactions and events being way
more immersive, allowing users to experience a personal connection with their friends and
loved ones. Meetings, parties, and concerts can all be organized in the metaverse. Physical
proximity is no longer a limiting factor for any event or family gathering you may want to
attend.
4. Upgrading Social Media
Social media is probably the biggest term used in the past decade. Platforms like Facebook
(Meta) and Twitter rely on the social aspect of the internet. And they will undoubtedly benefit
from the upgrade into a three-dimensional virtual environment.
Fusing the ability to create virtual spaces in the metaverse with the power of social media to
create shared online worlds is a very powerful combination that will enable us to experience
social media like we never before.
5. New Business Opportunities
In a similar fashion to how social media has helped create many business opportunities and
gave birth to a new form of marketing and advertising on its platforms, the metaverse will
likely provide even greater opportunities.
Rather than just viewing everything through a tiny screen on your phone, the metaverse
offers a completely immersive way for promoting and consuming products and services using
new marketing and advertisements strategies like virtualized storefronts, curated shows, and
highly interactive engagement and customer service.
This means that you can see the product, hold it, and even feel it using haptic technology
(experience of touch through vibration, forces, and motion). This type of interaction will
benefit both the consumer and business, as both parties will receive a better user experience.
6. Improvements to Online Learning and Education
It can’t be ignored how learning and education were impacted during the Covid pandemic, as
more than 90% of students were unable to continue their studies, and we had to find other
ways to resume education.
This is when online learning became the new norm, utilizing platforms like Zoom.
With the metaverse, learning will be more accessible than ever. The physical location of the
classroom no longer needs to be taken into consideration. People from around the world will
be able to share information and study together in real-time in a hands-on educational
environment.
In addition to that, since we have full control over what the students see inside the metaverse,
conveying ideas and concepts will be easier with visual learning. As the students will be able
to experience historical phenomena right in front of them instead of theoretically. Imagine
wandering the streets of Ancient Rome to get a real look into what life was like back then.
7. Positive Impact on Cryptocurrencies and NFTs
Cryptocurrency and NFTs are set to have a major role in the coming metaverse world through
blockchain technology providing security, trust, transparency, and of course decentralization.
Crypto is definitely the currency of the metaverse, different iterations of the metaverse will
use different currencies. But in essence, you will not be buying digital goods and services
with traditional currency, which adds an extra layer of security to virtual environments.
NFTs may have a bigger role in the metaverse than they have had before. NFTs are a token of
ownership of a certain digital or physical asset. They can be essentially the linking factor
between the physical world and digital world and will help NFT holders to prove ownership
of their assets, and move them between various worlds.
The metaverse is a huge concept, and NFTs play a vital role in the big picture. NFT
metaverse brands will further support and improve upon the idea of using NFTs as deeds to
properties and other assets in both the physical and digital.
8. Improvements to Gaming
Gaming is the very first field that benefited from VR and AR technologies. We witnessed the
birth of many new VR games in 2021, and with the technology advancing further, the games
are getting better.
Many game production companies are picking up on this fact and are beginning to implement
their games into the metaverse. Some of the leaders in this field are Epic, with their $1 billion
investment into gaming in the metaverse in early 2021.
As well, Meta (formerly known as Facebook) rebranded their entire company as the leading
forefront of the metaverse world. This is in addition to other big-name companies like
Microsoft with their Xbox metaverse, and Roblox.
9. New Opportunities for Financial Gain
Whenever there’s a new technology, people will always find ways to make money from it.
And it’s no different in the metaverse, as people are already coming up with ways to earn a
sustainable living utilizing all that the metaverse offers.
Some people are investing in digital real estate, which are plots of land within the metaverse,
hoping that in time virtual land will appreciate in value. Others are earning an income
building various assets and architectures in the metaverse, while many are being trained to
help develop the metaverse and its overall functionality. Some are looking into metaverse
crypto trading, which also has the potential to rise up in price and render any early investors
millionaires.
10. Improvements to the Work Environment
When Mark Zuckerberg introduced the metaverse, he mentioned a new workspace concept
called the infinite office, which promises to make working from home the ultimate
experience by increasing convenience, hence improving overall productivity.
The work environment has always taken advantage of new technologies. And the situation
will be no different with the emergence of the metaverse and VR technology. Putting on VR
glasses and joining the three-dimensional virtual simulation of your workplace from the
comfort of home is definitely an intriguing concept that will likely benefit many.
Everyone is raving about all the potential benefits of the metaverse – but there is a darker
side, too. Here are seven potential downsides to the metaverse.
7 Important Problems & Disadvantages of The Metaverse
The promises and possibilities of the metaverse are enormous – and many companies are
developing apps, products, and services to help develop the metaverse and to serve its users
in a more immersive digital world.
But there is a darker side to the metaverse, so we need to look at some of the challenges this
incredible technology will bring.
1.9 CHALLENGES OF THE METAVERSE
1. Privacy Issues
The metaverse is the next version of the internet, and we use technology like augmented and
virtual reality to immerse ourselves in the digital world. With all this digitization comes
privacy challenges.
We already have privacy concerns when we browse the web. The technology that is already
tracking our behaviour online will also exist in the metaverse, and the tracking is likely to
become even more invasive and intense.
For example, VR-headsets will include eye-tracking technology, so marketers and advertisers
could potentially see from our headset data where exactly we are looking in our immersive
experience, and for how long. This is a marketer’s dream, of course, but is a major concern to
anyone who is concerned about their privacy.
Companies will also be able to monitor our physical reactions as we link to wearable and
haptic devices that measure our emotions and physical reactions. Enormous amounts of data
could be collected and used by companies for marketing or other purposes.
2. Protecting Our Kids
As parents, it’s already difficult to track what our kids are doing online, and that challenge
will continue with the metaverse. Understanding what our kids are doing in the metaverse
will be even more challenging, because we can’t see the world, they’re looking at in their VR
headset, and there is no process in place for monitoring their screens using tablets or phones.
3. Health Concerns
VR ―hangovers‖ are a known phenomenon, and people can also experience post-VR sadness.
When we have experienced an amazingly immersive world and have to come back into the
real world, it can make us depressed and sad – and the more incredible our immersive
experiences become, the more people will struggle with this.
Internet or gaming addictions are already a big problem for kids and adults, and getting
hooked on spending all our time in the metaverse could be an even greater problem in the
future.
4. Access Inequality
In order to use augmented reality, we need the latest smartphone and handset technology, and
VR experiences require high-tech, expensive headsets as well as strong and reliable
connectivity.
How can we make sure that everyone in the world has equal access to the metaverse, and not
just the people who have the most money and live in advanced countries? We will need to
come up with plans to increase access to the metaverse as these immersive experiences
become more and more important.
5. Metaverse Laws
Can a virtual act be a crime? The metaverse will bring regulatory challenges and will
introduce new grey areas in many laws.
For example, if you are in virtual reality and you are wearing a haptic suit, and someone in
the virtual world touches you without your permission, how is this different from an assault
in the real world? We will need to face these regulatory challenges as technology advances
and thorny legal issues emerge.
6. Desensitization
Many people will be playing violent games in VR, where you can touch and feel what you’re
doing. These immersive experiences will feel very real and could lead to people becoming
desensitized to their behaviours. In a game, if you are shooting a gun at someone or
strangling that person, I believe there is a real risk that people will become more likely to
replicate that behaviour in the real world due to VR desensitization.
7. Identity Hacking
In the virtual world, we will be using avatars – and it will be possible for people to hack our
avatars and steal our online identities. If this happens, the hacker could pretend to be you and
could wreak havoc in your virtual and real worlds.
We must focus on security in the metaverse and find ways to verify identities and avoid
deepfakes, to reduce VR-related cybercrime.
Clearly, there are a lot of potential problems with the metaverse, and many issues that we
need to think through (and potentially regulate) as this technology evolves

1.11 THE FUTURE OF THE METAVERSE
There are other aspects of the Metaverse worth examining, but here are a few predictions
about how it will affect the way we work and drive a societal evolution toward a more
welcoming society. Will the metaverse live up to its meaning?
 We will start expressing ourselves in innovative and creative ways.
As people learn how to modify the virtual world around them using tools designed for
creators by creators, we will begin to witness extreme self-expression in these contexts. If
you don’t have time to construct your own world, you can explore the worlds of others and
possibly adopt their works as your own. Every person will have an avatar, which is a
character that represents them in the Metaverse.
 Work will feel like a game.
Consider a day at the office in which you teleport to Beijing to meet with your lead engineer,
to the Bahamas to meet with your boss, and to an imagined Fairy Tale realm to meet with a
vendor partner. The capacity to travel between vastly different real and imagined worlds for
meetings will give a creative twist to our day.
 The Ability to travel while being still
We’ll be able to see locations we’ve never seen before while fully engaged in the
surroundings. We will not be looking solely at the location of the meeting. Instead, we shall
live and experience it as if we were genuinely present. The pure creative power that will be
available will aid in our collective expansion.
 A Total Upheaval in how we currently buy, sell and experience things

With Big Brands already launching their digital products on online platforms, it is viable to
assume that soon, instead of browsing for products on a 2-D screen, we shall be able to
experience the products, services, and commodities in a much more personal way, which will
change the way we shop, forever.
 A change in learning, entertainment, and Sports
With Virtual classrooms, movie theatres, and stadiums, how we currently experience these
events will undergo a change with the development of the Metaverse.
1.12 IS METAVERSE THE FUTURE?
A metaverse’s actual idea is to improve human contact. As we progress more technologically

as a species than at any other moment in recent memory, it is necessary for us to pay attention
to what our identity is related to the world and others around us. Meta perfectly embodies this
concept. Consider an instructional metaverse in which you attend lessons from home while
seeing and interacting with your instructor as if you were physically present with them.
Consider attending a gathering from the comfort of your sofa, where you don’t dress up, but
your symbol does, and you’re seated at a virtual table among people whose responses and
nonverbal communication you can assess similarly to how you would in person.
These thoughts will most likely be transported to the real world in the near future by a
metaverse. If you’re wondering what more metaverses have to offer that would be valuable,
the answer is a lot. With the rise of nonfungible tokens (NFTs), the Metaverse now offers a
new sort of brand promotion. Because it allows for the exchange of lands, the purchase of
assets, and the display of the organization’s image through banners or logos, it may prove to
be an effective method for both igniting and restoring client interest.
Here are a few bits of recent news that you should know, which will make you realize how
serious the big tech giants are, on making the digital, a reality:
Facebook is launching its ―Facebook Metaverse,‖ subsequently rebranding itself to the name
―Meta.‖
Microsoft acquired ―Activision Blizzard Studios,‖ a leading game developer creator of games
such as ―World of Warcraft,‖ to further its research and development on metaverse-related
projects.
Apple has been quietly working on a class of products for VR (Virtual Reality) and AR
(Augmented Reality) use.
Google has been developing the ecosystem, along with Nvidia, Intel, and others, on handling
and developing a full digitalized ecosystem.
Nike, Louis Vuitton, and Burberry have been creating digital clothing items for the purpose
of using them in the Metaverse.
Apart from such big names, there are games such as Fortnite, Minecraft, and others, which
have expanded into a whole new genre of unique digital personas for their players, giving
them a sense of uniqueness among the crowd.
Metaverse will transform the way you work:
 Offers multiple choices with respect to work location and ways of working.
Employees will no longer be confined to their workstation cubicles.
 Metaverse helps build a centralized digital work environment that will smoothen the
transition to remote working.
 Freedom from tedious daily commutes, in-person meetings, expensive business trips,
and professional office apparel.
 Guarantees physical safety from getting exposed to harmful viruses like COVID-19 or
Omicron. Virtual collaboration reduces the spread of transmittable illnesses.
 Makes idea-sharing and collaboration more effective and accessible than ever. Easy to
join virtual meetings and participate actively in discussions by gaining a near-physical
experience.
 Eliminates the risks and hazards present in the physical world and makes the
workspace safe and convenient for employees.
One in four people will spend at least an hour per day in Metaverse by 2026. This applies to
shopping, study, and social activities. Gartner revealed this information in a study. However,
metaverse technology is still very young, and research institutions should not invest large
amounts of money in one Metaverse.
Meta (formerly Facebook), which has invested $10 billion to create the Metaverse, is
currently talking about the technology. The most recent Sensor Tower data shows that 522
mobile apps use Buzzword to attract users and make more through various app stores.
One striking thing about the Metaverse is its exact replication of our real world. The
Metaverse is a virtual world that offers a way to escape the reality of daily life. Virtual reality
is becoming more important due to the global epidemic. Virtual reality may be the first step
towards a universe unimaginable.
Amazon Inc. In 1994, Amazon Inc. provided something the world had never seen: a service
that was unmatched by any other company. It is not only a success story. The company has
reached great heights in its quest to be one of the most innovative tech companies the world
has ever seen. There is an interesting aspect to how this company works with the metaverse
technology.
Amazon is an online marketplace. Amazon is developing a virtual economy using the

blockchain metaverse. This will increase its appeal and help it serve more customers. It will
also allow the tech company to bring together a virtual world where assets owned by it will
be a significant part.
The world without human contact, virtual connections, and a digital economy are unique. It
will eliminate the joy of social connections in the real world. The technology will, however,
contribute to technological advancements that we will see in the next decades.
1.13 DIFFICULTIES AND LIMITATIONS
There are, however, some limitations that can be difficult to overcome. Fa-Meta and
Microsoft often present fictionalized videos about their future visions. They forget to
consider how people interact with their Metaverse. Many people who wear VR headsets for
too long experience motion sickness or physical symptoms. Augmented reality glasses also
have this issue.
How can tech companies present their technology ideas without showing off bulky headsets
or dingy glasses? Technology is made from cloth. This seems to be the primary approach.
Meta’s presentation shows the woman in the hologram. This illusion is impossible to
disprove, even with the best technology.
Motion-tracked virtual avatars are somewhat outdated but may be improved in the future.
However, there is no junky method to make a 3-D image appear in mid-air under controlled
conditions. It doesn’t matter what Iron Man tells you. It is impossible to do this. These
images could be interpreted as projections of images through the glass.
For example, both women in the video are wearing similar glasses. This assumption is
incorrect. There are many optical capabilities to glasses that are small, which Snap will tell us
is not an easy problem. Video demonstrations showing how metaverses might work often
show this obfuscation of reality. Another demo by Meta showed people floating in space. Is
the person working at a desk or strapped to an aerial device that provides an immersive
experience? The person is represented by a hologram. Does the person have headphones on
or not? How is their face captured if they do? Moreover, it appears that the person holds
virtual objects in their hands at times.
1.13.1 6 CHALLENGES OF THE METAVERSE
DATA & SECURITY IN METAVERSE

Even though companies and organizations keep revolutionizing their IT security systems,
data privacy and security has been a long running concern for users of any online
environment. Submerging into the Metaverse will require to evolve security methods to a
completely new level, being on par with the ever so expanding space of the Metaverse. This
will require building new methods of personal data and privacy protection that will be able to
ensure the safety of one’s identity and possessions in the virtual world. With that being said,
personal verification might come to the point where users will have to provide more personal
data than what is expected today, to identify oneself and ensure the security system works
efficiently, keeping personal data safe.
CURRENCY & PAYMENTS SYSTEMS IN METAVERSE

Digital currency has been with us for a few decades now, with Bitcoin being amongst the
most well-known ones. The same goes for online marketplaces like Amazon and eBay that
connect millions of consumers around the globe. There is no doubt Metaverse will have its
own version of a virtual marketplace, connecting different actual and digital currencies to
enable fast and effortless exchange. Regardless of the currency and marketplace format, when
it comes to transactions, it will be especially essential to develop unique new transaction
verification system. The challenge will lie in convincing users that they can rely on and most
important feel safe while engaging in any trade within the Metaverse.
LAW & JURISDICTION IN METAVERSE

Submerging into the Metaverse will bring forth the question of legislation and jurisdiction,
requiring countries to look more into the virtual legal domains. With the growing virtual
space accessible for users worldwide, it will be essential to identify means according to
which the matter of jurisdiction will be applicable. Metaverse is bound to bring large
numbers of users together, making it a place of great opportunity to connect and exchange,
however at the same time making users vulnerable in case there are no laws that regulate the
boundaries. It will be a true challenge to identify jurisdiction as well as a set legislation that
can ensure the virtual space is safe and secure for its users.
OWNERSHIP & PROPERTY IN METAVERSE

When we speak of one unified virtual universe where you can interact with both the world
and other individuals, like in the real world, we can imagine that there will be an opportunity
to purchase and hold possession of various items and assets. NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens)
have picked up their pace of growing in popularity and have been making headlines in 2021
attracting more investors and users to the digital assets and tokens. In a similar way to how
NFTs currently represent real-world objects, granting and proving the ownership rights for
art, music, videos and much more, the challenge will be in creating a unified system that
could be used to verify the possessors of virtual assets in the Metaverse.
1.13.2 COMMUNITY & NETWORK IN METAVERSE

Metaverse without doubt will bring a diverse community together, connecting people around
the globe in a unified virtual world. As the past few years showed, staying connected is one
of the essentials for the society, which could potentially lead to a strong network forming in
the Metaverse for both work and personal purposes. For many, Metaverse could become the
platform to interact and form meaningful relationships. We are already used to
communicating online, however for the Metaverse to become a space where people can feel
both emotionally and physically present, the haptic and motion capture technology will have
to advance to a completely new level. A level that can provide smooth comprehension of
presence and surroundings, accompanying visual fidelity with the ability to touch and feel.
1.13.3 HOW METAVERSE CAN IMPACT THE EDUCATION SECTOR
The concept of a metaverse, a virtual universe where people can interact with each other in
real-time through avatars, has the potential to revolutionize the education sector. With the
metaverse, educational institutions can create immersive learning environments that can be
accessed by students from anywhere in the world. The metaverse provides an opportunity for
teachers to engage students in new and exciting ways, allowing for a more interactive and
personalized learning experience.
One of the ways that the metaverse can impact education is by providing access to
educational resources and experiences that may not be available in traditional classrooms. For
example, students can explore virtual museums, historical sites, or even other planets to learn
about history, science, and culture. The metaverse can also provide a platform for guest
speakers and subject matter experts to deliver lectures and participate in discussions with
students from around the world.
The metaverse can also facilitate collaborative learning, where students can work together on
projects and assignments regardless of their location. With the metaverse, students can
collaborate in real-time, share ideas, and build upon each other's work, creating a more
engaging and interactive learning experience. This can be especially beneficial for students
who may not have access to traditional classroom settings or who may need extra support to
succeed academically.
Another way that the metaverse can impact education is by providing a more personalized
learning experience for students. With the metaverse, educators can tailor learning
experiences to meet the individual needs and preferences of students. For example, students
can choose the type of learning environment that works best for them, whether it be a virtual
classroom, a 3D simulation, or an interactive game. The metaverse can also provide feedback
and recommendations to students based on their performance, helping them to improve their
skills and knowledge.
The metaverse can also provide opportunities for immersive language learning. With the
metaverse, students can practice speaking and listening skills with native speakers from
around the world, improving their language proficiency in a way that is not possible in
traditional classrooms. The metaverse can also provide access to authentic language and
cultural experiences, helping students to gain a deeper understanding of other cultures and
languages.
Finally, the metaverse can impact the education sector by providing opportunities for lifelong
learning. With the metaverse, learners of all ages can access educational resources and
experiences that can help them to develop new skills and knowledge. The metaverse can also
provide access to continuing education and professional development opportunities, allowing
individuals to enhance their careers and stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends and
innovations.
1.15 Introduction to the Metaverse
1.15.1 Understanding the Concept of Metaverse
The term metaverse refers to the concept of persistent, online, 3D universe that puts together
various virtual spaces. You can also define a metaverse as future iteration of the internet. The
concept may also include the combination of multiple platforms that are the same as the
internet which has a variety of website which are accessed through one browser. The
Metaverse has special functions that allow the user to socialize, game, meet and work in the
3D spaces.
Neal Stephenson coined the term Metaverse in the science-fiction novel Snow Crash. The
term was typically a fiction. However, it now sounds as something that has a potential to
imply some form of reality.
Augmented reality will power the Metaverse, with each user managing a character or what
might be known as an avatar. For instance, you can choose to a meeting reality meeting in
your virtual workplace with an Oculus VR headset. After that, complete your tasks and relax
in a blockchain-based game. Subsequently, manage your crypto portfolio and money all from
within the Metaverse.
Some characteristics of the Metaverse may already be seen in virtual video game
environments. Games such as Second Life and Fortnite and work socializing tools like
Gather. town connects many aspects of our Lives in virtual environments. These applications
aren’t quite the same as the Metaverse, but they’re close. The Metaverse does not yet exist.
Notably, Metaverse contains diverse functions that are more than just supporting gaming as
well as social media. For example, the Metaverse can combine digital identity, economies,
decentralized governance, and other forms of governance. In the modern society the single
and united Metaverse can be built through the user creations and ownership. These are the
major attributes that offers the blockchain the capability to power this anticipated future
technology.
After the renaming of Facebook into Meta there was a new hype around the word
―Metaverse‖ but nobody really knows what It meant. In fact, there have been a lot of
speculations for many years about how the internet and technologies evolve. Commonly we
refer to Web1, Web2, Web3 etc. when we speak about different evolutionary steps of the
internet, and now we have the metaverse under discussion.
But let’s just leave the definitions behind and imagine something: Imagine that you can create
your perfect alter-ego in a virtual world where you are in control of every aspect. You can do
what you want, you can own what you want, and you have almost limitless possibilities.
Such a scenario was often depicted in some science fiction movies or series. But soon it could
become reality as there is a big hype in the business world around making every layer,
technology and protocol ready to create ―The Metaverse‖.
The metaverse is a massively scalable, persistent network of interconnected virtual worlds

focused on real time interaction where people can work, socially interact, transact, play and
even create. It uses advanced virtualization and technologies (AR, VR, Haptic Sensors, etc.)
to fully immerse the user into the virtual world. This means that the user can interact live with
a world that is always there, and he can always access whenever he wants.
Many advocates believe that the perfect futuristic version of ―The Metaverse‖ there would be
one single platform where you have your persona, your identity and platform services
connected under which many worlds get created where you can gain access. Like a world
with many sub-worlds which you can join, leave or even create. Important factors are still
that there is a definition for a digital identity, digital ownership, digital currencies and the
universal transferability of digital assets – Thus enabling a fully functioning economy in a
virtual world.
This way the metaverse could replace several aspects of how tourism works, what it means to
go on a concert, how to discover art exhibitions but especially also how people learn, study,
interact and even meet friends.
1.15.1 6 Foundations of the Metaverse
Before we go deeper into the technological details, let’s examine what kind of different
elements and foundations need to be in place to enable a metaverse. Creating a virtual world
where you can control every aspect and also feel like you are directly in this world has many
challenges.
Hardware & Infrastructure
Due to the massive amounts of data, 3D processing and also live interaction, there is a huge
need for the right IT infrastructure. This includes network technologies from 5G and future
6G networks, cloud computing and super specialized virtualization hardware with GPU, TPU
and CPU development for the server-side hardware requirements.
The second part is the consumer side, where special hardware is needed for the immersive
experience. Virtual and augmented reality smart glasses, haptic feedback devices (gloves,
suites, etc.) and even mobile phones with better processing powers are needed.
Tools & Standards
To make the metaverse really interactive, there need to be common standards and tool sets in
place. This includes computer languages, easy to use design tools, commonly used 3D
engines, VR/AR/XR standards, asset marketplace standards, transfer protocols, security
standards but also more technological standards like geospatial mapping.
Payment & Transactions
An important aspect of every metaverse is a functioning ecosystem. In order to make this

work, a universal mode of transaction and payment need to be found. This has challenges on
several levels as every ecosystem might have their own modes of payment, transaction and
makes it then difficult to connect different worlds together.
Regulatory Frameworks and Rules
Like in real world, we require regulatory frameworks and social rules in place. Managing and
enforcing these rules in a virtual world could be one of the biggest challenges to solve. In
order to make users feel safe, we need to think about global rules and even laws that govern
the virtual world.
Identity Management & Avatars
A virtual world with a virtual identity might sound good, but to make sure that it’s also safe
and not a ―outlaw‖ world, also the verification of the real identity is a must. For this to
happen in many worlds, there would need to be a common protocol and something like a
meta-identity that can be linked to the own avatars and therefore be able to use avatars and
identities in many virtual worlds.
Virtual Ecosystem
In order to make different use cases work, there also needs to be a functioning digital
economic ecosystem. From Ad networks, to stores, virtual jobs and payment for games,
Social Interactions, eSports and even online shopping. Creating this economic universe is
very important to give more users and companies an incentive to participate, create and share.
1.16 Examples of the Metaverse
While there are no examples of a big metaverse, big companies at some point claims that they
have developed a metaverse. Example are as follows
1. Second live Metaverse: Second Live is the 3D virtual world where users May learn,
socialize, and do business by controlling avatars. A NFT marketplace for trading collectibles
is also part of the idea. The second live Metaverse is thought to have hosted a finance smart
chain’s harvest festival in September2020. The virtual expo allowed users to examine and
interact with many projects that can be found in the BSC ecosystem.
It was one of the earliest virtual worlds that allow players to build their own identity in a
virtual environment, having been launched in 2003. Second Life is constantly growing with
its own digital assets, marketplaces, and into more dimensions following several years of
development.
2. Minecraft: Minecraft, a Lego-like gaming universe, has over 140 million players who play
it on a daily basis. The firm was purchased from Microsoft, and it allows gamers to design
their own persona, as well as construct endless virtual worlds on their own, complete with
digital assets and other features.
3. Roblox: Roblox began as a gaming platform where users could develop their own games
and share them with others. Following the development of the IPO, the Roblox are now
putting more effort into developing their Metaverse. In collaboration with labels like as Vans
and Gucci, they now provide special assents to purchase for your own virtual use.
4. Microsoft Mesh Platform: Microsoft metaverse is also making advances in the realms of
mixed and augmented reality (XR). As a result, they plan to introduce mixed-reality
components to Teams in 2022. The major advantage with this advance is that it will allow
avatars and holograms to attend meetings, events, and perhaps retail experiences and games
in the future.
5. Meta Horizon Worlds metaverse: The best example of this form of Metaverse is a virtual
meeting room that Facebook launched that is accessible through the company owned Oculus.
The virtual meeting room can also be accessed through the horizon worlds. The Major
advantage of this Metaverse is that it allows you interact with peers in virtual meeting rooms
using your personalized avatar.
1.16.1 Use cases of the Metaverse
It is clear that most companies’ large companies that have claimed to have developed the
Metaverse are targeting the virtual meetings, virtual games as well virtual events. Although,
there happen to be various use cases of the Metaverse. Examples of these use cases are as
below:
Social Interaction platforms
Immersion allows users to engage with one another and build social relationships, similar to
Second live. Users may view and communicate with each other in virtual worlds and rooms,
as well as host social events. This method progresses from asynchronous information
exchange to asynchronous and synchronous (live) engagement, taking social media to the
next level.
Digital Business models & Digital Marketplaces
Functional marketplace and economic environment are essential. In the Metaverse, it would
also allow for the creation of totally digital marketplaces and exclusively electronic
transactions. Auctions could be viewed from all over the globe, and anybody would get
access to whatever piece of art he desired, as well as much more. Consider the potential of
being able to stroll inside Amazon’s web store and interact with the products as if they were
in front of you.
Augmented and Virtual Workplaces
Rather than seeing people on a screen using a video block, Metaverse could make it possible
for you to be in the same virtual room brainstorm, write a whiteboard, or adjust the room to
suit your intended purpose. These elements would be combined in Augmented Workspaces,
allowing participants to virtually engage in a physical meeting. This would imply that you
will need to have holograms in the room, that you can interact with them as if you were there.
Understanding why Video Games are Linked to Metaverse
Video games now provide the greatest metaverse experience due to the focus on 3D virtual
reality. This isn’t solely due to the fact that they’re 3D. Video games increasingly include
features and features that are applicable to various areas of our lives. Roblox is a video game
that hosts virtual events such as concerts and meetups. Players do not only focus on playing
the game. They also use the game in ―cyberspace‖ for other pursuits and aspects of their
lives. An example can include Travis Scott’s
virtual in-game music tour that drew the attention of 12.3 million players in the online game
Fortnite.
1.16.2 Does Crypto fit into the Metaverse?
Although several video games already have rudimentary solutions, many creators prefer to
employ Crypto and blockchain as a superior alternative. While video game creation is more
controlled, blockchain enables a distributed and transparent approach of interacting with the
topics.
Blockchain engineers are influenced by the video game industry as well. In Decentralized
Finance (DeFi) and GameFi, gaming is widespread. There appears to be enough
commonalities between the two worlds in the future for them to become even more
interwoven.
1.17 The future of the Metaverse
Facebook is among the most outspoken proponents of aunited metaverse. Because of

Facebook’s Diem stable coin project, this is particularly fascinating for a crypto-powered Comment [ys1]:
metaverse. Mark Zuckerberg has stated openly that he intends to build a metaverse initiative
to encourage remote employment and provide financial prospects for individuals in
impoverished nations. Facebook’s control of social media, communication, and
cryptocurrency platforms puts them in an excellent position to merge these realms. Microsoft,
Google, and Apple are among the other significant IT giants pursuing the establishment of a
metaverse.
Further integration among 3D virtual environments and NFT marketplaces appears to be the
next stage towards a crypto-powered metaverse. NFT holders can already sell their items on
markets such as BakerySwapand Open Sea but there isn’t currently a widely used 3D
platform for this. On a larger scale, blockchain developers may be able to create successful
metaverse-like products with a larger organic user base than a huge tech company
1.18 Critics on the use of the Metaverse
All ideas are surrounding the introduction of the Metaverse sound like overhyped science
fiction. Many critics argue that we, as humans, aren’t ready to create such virtual worlds. The
Metaverse has several serious issues that must be addressed before being considered safe.
Privacy, information usage, real world societal ramification, and mental health issues, are just
a few of the numerous areas of concern. An example of the concern seeks to question the
rationale behind a person having a better life online to again desire to live in the real world.
Apparently, many shows and films show and films that deal with the difficulties that the
virtual world may face.
―The winner takes all‖ and the power it can impart on a single corporation also raises critical
concerns on the use case of the Metaverse.
This imply that a single company may have the potential to establish a virtual universe with
its own laws, economic environment, and identities while avoiding real-world norms and
regulations.
1.19 METAVERSE VS REAL WORLD
In the near future, the metaverse virtual reality can go a long way to providing services, but
goods, the other sector of economy, will still require real world resources to produce;
however, as Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) evolve, a handful of employees can
manage a system of industrial robots as they evolve themselves with AI, as much as of 90%
of real-world employment can be displaced, which may characterize the 22nd century. Added
impetus for this development is that FMS can produce customized or variations of a product
as cheaply as they are massed produced today.
Although, VR development in social relationships is handicapped with only visual and audio
sensuality. Technically, this is a big hurdle, but with the advancement of sensory reception
and stimulation science, the other senses beyond audio and visual theoretically can evolve.
So, it is possible for an advanced virtual metaverse to replace our true reality partially but the
metaverse cannot entirely replace the real world as it does offer an inhabitable, alternate
environment to the physical world governed by the rules of physics of our universe, however,
it is still dependent on those very rules.
This is because blockchain and blockchain-based computing still rely on large amounts of
natural resources and energy, which is only possible due to the real world that exists around
us.
Without coal or the Sun to produce electricity, minting crypto to support blockchain
ecosystems would not be possible, which means that metaverse platforms would cease to
exist. Similarly, every other aspect of the Metaverse’s operations makes use of some physical
resource or law.
With significant technological advancements, the Metaverse could replace some aspects of
the real world: -
• The Metaverse could replace physical offices: One of the biggest affected areas will be
remote work and collaboration, where companies could have entire office campuses in the
Metaverse. Accenture already has a metaverse office called the Nth Floor, in Microsoft’s
Mesh platform, revealing a potential future where office buildings cease to exist and every
company has a global VR campus with a metaverse address.
• The Metaverse could in-person replace physical interaction to an extent: During the
pandemic, many users turned to the Metaverse for social activities and gatherings, even
conducting entire wedding inside the platform. In the future, it could become as important as
social media is to our lives today.
Summary
The Metaverse is the natural progression of the internet. We have all emerged from the early
days we could only read what’s already out there, through the age of social media and the
creators’ economy, to the virtual world’s integration into our own. The internet’s and
information era’s trajectory are clear. Virtual worlds will emerge, and people will immerse
themselves in them.
Chapter 2
2.1 Introduction:
In the present days internet has been developing innovative ways to present and represent
their collation to public. They went on to enhance the educational mandate by uploading their
collection exhibition online. Then the web has moved on and currently concerned with the
aggregation of their object and developing intuitive platform to make collection assessable to
remote visitor around the world these are beautiful crafted virtual environment space where
people meet movement avatar and interact in multi user virtual environment.
The tech island in second life, the tech virtual who hosted international museum day was
developing by the tech san jose (USA) with the simulated facility look very much like the
real museum the build is designed to facilitate project and community connection using
virtual world as a platform to build new kind of collaboration within the museum world.
Ahead moving from a set of independent virtual World to an integrated network of 3D virtual
world or metaverse there’s an area
1) immersive realism
2) ubiquity of access and identify
3) interoperability
4) scalability.
The current status and needed development in order to achieve a functional and popular
internet and ongoing improvement in hardware performance and factor that constrain the
achievement of their goal including limits in computational method and unrealized
collaboration among virtual world stakeholder and developer are also considered.
In the interest of clarity of organization and presentation, the four features of the Metaverse
will be mainly presented as separate and distinct variables even though overlap exists among
these factors (e.g., increased graphical realism will have implications for server requirements
and scalability).
The correlation of Immersive Ness to number of directional channels is a straight forward if

ultimately simplistic approximation of how we perceive sound. Sound from the environment
reaches our two ears at subtly different levels and frequencies, differences which the human
brain can seamlessly merge and parse into strikingly complete positional information [Blauert
1996].
3D virtual world and metaverse
As progress has been made in studying the phenomenon itself, so also has progress been
made in crossing or transcending it. The computer graphics advances presented in this section
have contributed to this progress in general, with research in facial modelling and rendering
leading the way in particular. Proprietary algorithms developed by Kevin Walker and
commercialized by Image Metrics use computer vision and image analysis of pre-recorded
video from human performers to generate virtual characters that are recognizably lifelike and
can credibly claim to cross the uncanny valley age Metrics 2011].
The expectations for the metaverse are that it will connect everyone around the world, so an
enormous amount of data, such as maps, roles, etc., would be generated and stored in mass
storage, which is another basic infrastructure. More importantly, to guarantee decentralization
and fairness, the blockchain must be introduced to support sustainable ecosystem operation in
the metaverse.

3.5 Method of Data collection:
While collecting the data, the researcher must identify the type of data to be collected, source
of data, and the method to be used to collect the data. The choice of data collection methods
depends on the research problem under study, the research design and the information
gathered about the variable. Broadly, the data collection methods can be classified into two
categories:
3.5.1 A. PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION METHODS: -
The primary data are the first-hand data, collected by the researcher for the first time and is
original in nature. The researcher collects the fresh data when the research problem is unique,
and no related research work is done by any other person. The results of the research are
more accurate when the data is collected directly by the researcher but however it is costly
and time-consuming. When the data are collected directly by the researcher for the first time
is called as Primary Data. It is original in nature and is specific to a research problem under
study.
1. INTERVIEW METHOD: It is the most widely used primary data collection methods
wherein the interviewer asks questions either personally, or through mail or telephone from
the respondents to obtain the insights of the problem under study.
2. DELPHI TECHNIQUE: It is a forecasting technique wherein the researcher elicits the

information from the panel of experts either personally or through a questionnaire sent
through the mail. Here, each expert in his respective field is asked to give their opinions on
the problem concerned and the consolidated view of all is used to reach for the most accurate
answer.
3. PROJECTIVE TECHNIQUES: The projective techniques are the unstructured and

indirect interview method used where the respondents are reluctant to give answers if the
objective is disclosed. To deal with such situation, the respondents are provided with the
incomplete stimulus and are required to complete it through which their underlying
motivations, attitudes, opinions, feelings, etc. related to the concerned issue gets revealed.
4. FOCUS GROUP INTERVIEW: It is one of the widely used data collection methods
wherein a small group of people, usually 6-12 members come together to discuss the
common areas of the problem. Here everyone is required to provide his insights on the issue
concerned and reach to a unanimous decision. In this interview, there is a moderator who
regulates the discussion among the group members.
5. QUESTIONNAIRE METHOD: Questionnaire is the most evident method of data

collection, which is comprised of a set of questions related to the research problem. This
method is very convenient in case the data are to be collected from the diverse population. It
mainly includes the printed set of questions, either open-ended or closed-ended, which the
respondents are required to answer based on their knowledge and experience with the issue
concerned.
Note: It is to be noted that these primary data collection methods can be used to collect both
the qualitative and quantitative data.
3.5.2 B. SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION METHODS:
When the data are collected by someone else for a purpose other than the researcher’s current
project and has already undergone the statistical analysis is called as Secondary Data. The
researcher can obtain data from the sources both internal and external to the organization.
The internal sources of secondary data are:
1. Academic journals: There are many academic journals that focus on virtual reality,
gaming, and related fields. These journals may contain articles about the metaverse, its
history, current state, and future developments.
2. Online forums and communities: Online forums and communities focused on gaming and
virtual reality can provide valuable insights into user behaviour, preferences, and experiences
with metaverse platforms.
3. Market research databases: Market research databases such as Euromonitor, IBISWorld,
and Statista can provide data on the size of the metaverse market, user demographics, and
other key metrics.
4. Academic research papers: Academic research papers that focus on related topics such as
virtual reality, computer graphics, and gaming may provide useful insights into the
metaverse, including technical developments and challenges.
5. Social media data: Social media platforms such as Twitter and Reddit can be a rich source
of information about the metaverse, including discussions about its development, features,
and user experiences.
There are several external sources from where the secondary data can be collected. These are:
1. Industry associations: Industry associations such as the Virtual Reality Industry Forum
(VRIF), the International Game Developers Association (IGDA), and the Virtual World
Society provide information about the metaverse industry, best practices, and trends.
2. Online gaming communities: Online gaming communities such as Steam and Discord can
provide insights into user behaviour, preferences, and experiences with metaverse platforms.
3. News articles: News articles from reputable sources such as The New York Times, BBC,
and CNBC can provide insights into the latest developments and trends in the metaverse
space.
Advantage of the secondary data is that it is easily available and hence less time is required to
gather all the relevant information. Also, it is less expensive than the primary data. But
however, the data might not be specific to the researcher’s needs and at the same time is
incomplete to reach a conclusion. Also, the authenticity of the research results might be
sceptical.
3.6 VARIOUS TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN: -
3.6.1 A. QUALITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN: -
Qualitative research design is a research method that involves collecting and analysing non-
numerical data to gain an in-depth understanding of a phenomenon. This design is often used
in social scientific research to investigate the complexities of human behaviour and
experiences through observation and interpretation. In qualitative research, researchers use
flexible and unstructured data collection methods, such as interviews, focus groups, and
participant observation, to gather data from a small and purposefully selected sample of the
population. The data collected is then analysed using qualitative analysis techniques, such as
coding, categorizing, and thematic analysis, to identify patterns and themes in the data. This
type of research design allows for a deep exploration of the data, making it possible to gain a
nuanced and contextual understanding of the phenomenon under investigation. Additionally,
qualitative research design enables researchers to capture the perspectives and experiences of
the participants in their own words, providing rich and detailed data that cannot be captured
through quantitative methods. By using qualitative research design, researchers can generate
insights and develop theories that can inform policy decisions and interventions in various
fields. Overall, qualitative research design is a powerful tool for investigating complex social
phenomena and understanding the lived experiences of individuals and groups.
3.6.2 B. QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN: -
Quantitative research design is a research method that involves collecting and analysing
numerical data to establish statistical relationships between variables. This design is often
used in scientific and social scientific research to investigate phenomena and test hypotheses
through statistical analysis. In quantitative research, researchers use structured data collection
methods, such as surveys, questionnaires, and standardized tests, to gather data from a
representative sample of the population. The data collected is then analysed using statistical
techniques to identify patterns, relationships, and correlations between variables. This type of
research design allows for precise measurement and quantification of the data, making it
possible to draw generalizations and make predictions about the population under
investigation. Additionally, quantitative research design enables researchers to control for
extraneous variables and test the reliability and validity of the findings. By using quantitative
research design, researchers can generate empirical evidence to support or refute hypotheses
and theories, which can inform policy decisions and interventions in various fields. Overall,
quantitative research design is a powerful tool for investigating complex phenomena and
establishing statistical relationships between variables.
3.6.3 C. EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH DESIGN: -
Experimental research design can be a useful tool to investigate the effectiveness of

metaverse technology in improving learning outcomes in the education sector of India. By
using this research design, we can manipulate the independent variable, which in this case is
the use of metaverse technology in the classroom, and observe the effect on the dependent
variable, which could be academic achievement, student engagement, and teacher
satisfaction. By creating a controlled environment, such as two schools with similar student
populations and resources, one where the metaverse technology is used and one where it is
not used, you can compare the outcomes between the two groups. This type of research
design enables you to control for confounding variables, which may influence the outcome of
the research, and make causal inferences about the relationship between the use of metaverse
technology and learning outcomes in the Indian education sector. By using experimental
research design, you can generate empirical evidence to support or refute hypotheses and
theories related to the effectiveness of metaverse technology in education, which can inform
policy decisions and interventions to improve education outcomes in India.
3.6.4 D. CORRELATION RESEARCH DESIGN: -

To investigate why metaverse failed in the education sector of India, a correlation research
design can be used. This research design will enable the examination of the relationships
between various variables that are associated with the use of metaverse in education in India.
For example, the study can explore the correlation between the level of student engagement
or learning outcomes and the adoption of metaverse technology by educational institutions in
India. It can also investigate the relationship between the availability of technical support and
training for teachers and the use of metaverse in education. Furthermore, the study can
examine the correlation between the cost of metaverse implementation and the rate of
adoption among educational institutions in India. By using correlation research design, the
strength and direction of these relationships can be established, providing insights into why
metaverse failed in the education sector of India. This information can be valuable for
policymaking and interventions in the education sector.

4.2 Findings
Q1 To find out how much the youth has an understanding of the concepts of
metaverse?
The survey reveals that majority of the younger generation have interacted and have a limited
understanding about the metaverse although the study shows that they lack the appropriate
infrastructure which limits them from reaching the potential.
Q2 To determine how much people are willing to adapt to metaverse? And in

which sector?
The survey reveals that majority of the respondents have shown some extent of interest in
adapting to metaverse for their education as long as it is not too expensive.
Q3 Can metaverse impact the Indian education sector?

With a majority of younger generation in the country the metaverse does have potential but
with present mentality of the people, unless a new factor shows up that we haven’t considered
yet the study shows that metaverse will have negligible impact on the education sector at
best.
4.3 Conclusion-
The research study on Metaverse was a great experience getting to understand it’s potential.
The concept of the metaverse has gained a lot of attention and hype worldwide, and its
potential applications in various sectors, including education, have been explored. However,
when it comes to the Indian education sector, the success of the metaverse is still uncertain.
While there is a growing trend towards digital learning and the adoption of new technologies
in the Indian education sector, there are still significant challenges to be addressed, such as
lack of access to high-speed internet, infrastructure, and a skilled workforce. Additionally, the
metaverse may face cultural and social barriers that may limit its acceptance and adoption in
India.
Moreover, the Indian education sector is vast and diverse, with a range of different systems
and institutions that may require unique solutions. Therefore, the success of the metaverse in
the Indian education sector would depend on its ability to address these challenges and
provide a practical, accessible, and culturally appropriate solution for the diverse needs of
Indian learners.
In conclusion, it is difficult for the metaverse to succeed in the Indian education sector, but its
potential benefits cannot be ignored. It may require significant efforts and investments to
address the challenges, but if done right, the metaverse could revolutionize the way Indian
learners access and experience education.
