The Metaverse (meaning beyond universe) is the next big subject in the online world and it is essentially a shared virtual space in which virtual life and reality interact, co-exist, evolve together, and various cultural, social, and economic activities take place within them to create value. It combines an enhanced physical reality with a virtual space to encompass them with special technology; XR (eXtended Reality) which includes VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality) and MR (Mixed Reality). Steven Spielbergs recent science fiction actionadventure film, Ready Player One (2018) well illustrated a possible future metaverse society. Beyond this science fiction vision of the future, we are already entering the era of the metaverse, where the current COVID-19 pandemic situation and the associated demands for remote forms of social interactions are accelerating factors.
