Synopsis

Metaverse is a combination of the words "meta" and "universe". It is expressed as “a three-dimensional virtual world in which the characters called avatars engage in social, economic, political and cultural activities” (Wiederhold, 2022).
Computer-generated “meta universe, collective space in virtuality, life diary, mirror world, ubiquitous universe, embodied internet: space for simulation and collaboration” has been expressed through many concepts (Bruun & Stentoft, 2019; William, 2018; Kyle). , 2021).According to the Wall Street Journal, the metaverse is "a virtual world where our digital avatars and people in our communities and around the world come together to work, shop, attend classes, pursue hobbies, enjoy social gatherings, and more." (Wiederhold, 2022). A “metaverse” post-reality universe includes users who bring the digital world and physical reality together at a common point. “Metaverse” addresses the main limitations of 2D e-learning (web-based) tools related to online distance education (Mystakidis, 2022). The concept of metaverse emerged after more than twenty years and is generally expressed as an embodied version of the internet. Today, individuals will be able to discover the Metaverse thanks to "virtual reality" or "augmented reality" technologies, just as we can do our operations with the help of a cursor at the beginning of the internet.
