The Metaverse allows the integration of physical and digital versions users, processes, environments where entities communicate, transact, socialize. With shift towards Extended Reality (XR) technologies, is envisioned to support a wide range applicative verticals. It will seamless mix virtual worlds (realities) and, thus, be game changer for Future Internet, built on Semantic Web framework. ably assisted by convergence emerging wireless communication networks (such as Fifth-Generation Beyond networks) or Sixth-Generation (6G) networks, Blockchain (BC), 3.0, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). has potential in diverse industrial applications such twins, telehealth care, connected vehicles, education, social financial applications. Recent studies have focused explaining its key components, but systematic study terms not yet been performed. Owing this gap, survey presents salient features assistive technologies. We discuss high-level generic framework modern cyberspace challenges future directions Metaverse’s realization. A case Metaverse-assisted Real Estate Management (REM) presented, governs Buyer–Broker–Seller (BBS) architecture land registrations. performance evaluation current registration ecosystem cost evaluation, trust probability, mining BC network. obtained results show viability REM setups.

Without a doubt, the blockchain is one of most valuable technological advancements to have been introduced over past decade and has played significant role in industrial revolution. The emergence technologies derived from blockchain, such as decentralized finance (DeFi) Metaverse, fundamentally transformed people's daily lives profoundly impacted future versions digital businesses. This study explored evolution businesses near future, with specific focus on two primary mentioned above. First, we reviewed DeFi-based technologies, including GameFi, SciFi, SocialFi, others, which serve foundational building blocks for jobs Second, examined Metaverse-based jobs, academies markets, are expected be launched commonly used Ultimately, this provides several guidelines, how use DeFi 2.0 apply centralized (CeDeFi)-based platforms. Additionally, it offers directions launching these businesses, controlling progress artificial intelligence (AI) practical applications, utilizing cloud-assisted models providing conditional privacy

Purpose Many educators are increasingly acquainting themselves and becoming adept with interactive technologies like augmented reality virtual reality. Some of them also looking forward to using Metaverse applications, as they want benefit from its immersive three-dimensional capabilities. Therefore, the purpose this study is critically review extant literature investigate how, why, where when can be used for educational purposes. This discusses opportunities, challenges risks related disruptive technology. Design/methodology/approach A Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses rigorous protocol search, extract, scrutinize synthesize content high-impact articles focused on use technology in realms education. Afterwards, theorizes costs benefits students. Findings number researchers already experimenting that very similar Metaverse, different contexts. research indicates most students lured by multi-sensory environments well applications could simulate real-life situations provide engaging experiences representations people, places objects. On other hand, reveals ought consider potential pitfalls including privacy breaches security risks, possible addictions development mental health issues, among others. Practical implications Students catapult a simulated digital universe reconfigure their sensory inputs, definitions space, time points access information. calls regulatory instruments, sound principles, guidelines procedures intended safeguard protect users. Originality/value contribution implies there scope continue developing Metaverse’s spaces improve students’ motivations, aptitudes learning outcomes. clarifies education create infinite possibilities enhance knowledge, competences abilities through applications.
