Metaverse has evolved as one of the popular research agendas that let users learn, socialize, and collaborate in a networked three-dimensional (3D) immersive virtual world. Due to rich multimedia streaming capability user experience with high-speed communication, metaverse is an ideal model for education, training, skill development tasks. To facilitate this area, we provide comprehensive review various educational use cases explore how enabling technologies such Extended reality (XR) Internet Everything (IoE) will play major role services future metaverses. Secondly, overview metaverse-based applications focusing on analyze they are built upon. We identify common problems directions domain. The paper also identifies core ethical considerations education potential pitfalls. believe survey can fully demonstrate versatility metaverse-driven which could serve guideline researchers.

The "Metaverse," a term popularized by Neal Stephenson's novel Snow Crash, has been discussed in the science fiction community for decades, but technological advancements have only recently made it reality. Metaverse is an all-encompassing, interconnected virtual environment where users can freely communicate with one another and digital content. This article examines how various technologies, primarily Virtual Reality (VR) Augmented (AR), contributed to development of (AR). These innovations revolutionized way we interact media enabling us genuine, realistic experiences. In addition, examine technologies that make possible construct fully realized, functional world. Among these are recent advances artificial intelligence (AI), cryptocurrencies, spatial peripheral computing, other fields. Our research investigates advantages disadvantages as well they may influence future Metaverse. Furthermore, explores darker aspects Metaverse, particularly emergence "dark verse," which underscores potential organized illicit activities within Internet due insufficient oversight governance

The metaverse has emerged as an exciting new paradigm for human-computer interaction (HCI) and virtual collaboration. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the to address gap in existing literature where there is lack survey that reviews nature its building blocks from human-centric perspective. We first synthesize definition delineate key affordances. then introduce detailed framework encompassing metaverse's nature, infrastructure technologies, input/output technologies facilitate multi-sensory HCI, alongside applications across diverse domains. components within this are explained depth, offering insights into readiness level current technologies. Based on analysis, we outline major open challenges propose promising directions demanding further exploration investigation. By clarifying vision characterizing required realize it, provides essential serves invaluable resource developers researchers working advance transformative medium.

Abstract The rising interest in the marketing potential of metaverse and its influence on consumer behavior is undeniable. Experts field have identified gaps understanding highlighted need further research domain. This study addresses this void by focusing Gen Z their interactions within metaverse. Gathering qualitative data through semi‐structured interviews with 63 participants, employs a deductive thematic analysis, using Engel‐Kollat‐Blackwell (EKB) model as theoretical framework. findings align stages EKB model– awareness, information search, engagement, post‐engagement evaluation. We find that despite facing initial challenges, participants display eagerness to access actively seek engagement opportunities, even encouraging others join. provides empirical insights into challenges opportunities exist for consumers brands Further, it also enhances our immersive time elucidates digital technologies. Finally, offers practical implications managers, tech developers, policymakers looking enhance involvement
