문화 여가 중심의 메타버스 유형 및 발전 방향 연구

초록

Metaverse is a compound word of ‘meta’ and ‘universe’, which means transcendence and the world. It is a digital world where dailylife and economic activities are possible. While the Metaverse is being actively used as an alternative space to enjoy leisure life sinceCOVID-19, not much academic research on Metaverse in Korea has been done yet. Based on the previous research on Metaverse inKorea and overseas we conducted a typology analysis on cultural leisure-based Metaverse and a study on its key features. Consideringthe current situation in which the Metaverse era is blooming we also investigated the development trends of the Metaverse and relatedtechnologies at home and abroad. We also presented the direction of advancement of the cultural leisure-based Metaverse. This studydifferentiates itself from previous domestic and foreign studies by discovering and analyzing theoretical models, frameworks and featuresin terms of society, collaboration, and leisure use through case studies. It is meaningful that this research presents directions on furtherMetaverse research that reflect the current information technology (IT) and changes in life.
