The metaverse is a digital universe and a parallel world, which involves the application and development of Metaverse in interdisciplinary lenses, bridging fields such as social sciences, psychology, economics, communication, cultural studies, ethics, and the arts. Topics may include human behavior in virtual environments, economic systems in digital worlds, narrative and identity construction, immersive pedagogy, sociotechnical imaginaries, and the cultural impact of metaverse technologies. The metaverse is underpinned by six core technological domains: blockchain technology, interactivity technology (VR/AR/MR/XR/ER), game technology (game engine, game code, multimedia resources), AI technology, network communication technology, and Internet of Things. To support the operation of the huge metaverse, it also needs extremely powerful algorithms.
