A metaverse is a virtual-reality space in which users can interact with a computer-generated environment and other users1. It is a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical and digital reality2. It is the next iteration of the internet, which started as individual bulletin boards and independent online destinations2. The term “metaverse” is also used in science fiction as a hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, universal, and immersive virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets3.
