EasyChair Preprint 9480

Abstract

Metaverse is composed of the prefix "meta" and the suffix "verse" (Meta, 2021). "Verse" means "the entirety of something" in Greek, whereas "meta" means "beyond." In this way, the Metaverse alters the human experience by enabling the technological transcendence of physical reality (Meta, 2021). In his novel "Snow Crash," published in 1992, science fiction writer Neal Stephenson used the term for the first time. The Metaverse, according to him, is an online universe comprising numerous environments, each of which is designed to serve a specific function, such as providing opportunities for socialisation, education, and various forms of entertainment. Individuals could utilise head-mounted displays (HMDs), smartphones, and other media technologies from any location to access and interact with these shared areas (Duan et al., 2021). The Metaverse will enable interactive, virtual recreation of our physical world (in terms of people, places, and things) that we will be able to explore via extended reality (XR) platforms, as well as the transition from 2D graphics on flat screens to 3D graphics in head-mounted displays (HMDs). It is a decentralised network of computer-generated worlds where users can participate in real-world activities such as working, playing, and learning (Siyaev & Jo, 2021). How can metaverse resources be utilised to enhance educational practices? How can the Metaverse be utilised in academic settings? What effect will the Metaverse have on the future of education? This article examines the Educational Metaverse for Lifelong Learning, or "Eduverse."
