Abstract:
A metaverse is a
series of virtual spaces and second lives in which a person can create and surf
with other Internet users who are not in the same physical spaces. The virtual
world concept allows any user to connect, communicate, work, play and conduct
various transactions just like in the real world. The Metaverse concept
combines several technological innovations, e.g., virtual reality (VR) and
augmented reality (AR). This article provides a bibliometric analysis of
Metaverse from 1995 to 2022 to examine trends and current issues. Metaverse
will undoubtedly bring a second life to humanity. So, the security anticipation
needs to be discussed again. Of course, this digital development can have a negative
impact if it is not given a good understanding to its users. More concerning is
that metaverse technology will further erode privacy, which can cause privacy
data to be easily known. Further research is highly recommended to discuss the
impact on psychology and mental health involving the emergence of addiction and
triggering depression. The effects caused by the Metaverse may be more severe
than playing video games, considering that the Metaverse is a second life that
has the potential to change many things, especially the personal lives of its
users.
