The metaverse, a burgeoning virtual reality realm, has garnered substantial attention owing to its multifaceted applications. Rapid advancements and widespread acceptance of metaverse technologies have birthed a dynamic and intricate digital landscape. As various platforms, virtual worlds, and social networks within the metaverse increase, there is a growing imperative for a comprehensive analysis of its implications across societal, technological, and business dimensions. Notably, existing review studies have, for the past decade, primarily overlooked a metaverse‐based multidomain approach. A meticulous examination encompassing 207 research studies delves into the technological innovation of the metaverse, elucidating its future trajectory and ethical imperatives. Additionally, the article introduces the term “MetaWarria” to conceptualize potential conflicts arising from metaverse dynamics. The study discerns that healthcare (45%) and education (22%) are pivotal sectors steering metaverse developments, while the entertainment sector (9%) reshapes the corporate landscape. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a 9% role in enhancing the metaverse's marketing and user experience. Security, privacy, and policy concerns (11%) are addressed due to escalating threats, yielding practical solutions. The analysis underscores the metaverse's profound influence (57%) on the digital realm, a phenomenon accelerated by the COVID‐19 pandemic. The article culminates in contemplating the metaverse's role in future warfare and national security, introducing “MetaWarria” as a conceptual framework for such discussions.This article is categorized under: Application Areas > Health Care Application Areas > Science and Technology Fundamental Concepts of Data and Knowledge > Human Centricity and User Interaction

The metaverse is perceived by numerous domains as having high potential for enhancing industry performance and serving as a valuable tool for academics, offering significant resources for teaching, experiential learning, and risk-free participation in various activities. Despite its considerable interest and importance, there has been a lack of research examining the engagement of both industry and academia in the Metaverse, particularly in terms of participation levels and their choice of industries/subjects. This study aims to address this gap in the literature by investigating the characteristics of engagement within the academic community, drawing data from the Scopus database, examining aspects such as country involvement, subjects, topics, and other related attributes. Furthermore, this research explores various attributes of companies, including specialties, industries of interest, country presence, and other pertinent information sourced from the LinkedIn platform. Additionally, data retrieved from Google Trends provides evidence in the people's interest toward metaverse while examining topics and queries related to this term. Finally, leveraging machine learning techniques, this study assesses the commonalities and distinctions between academia and industry, offering valuable insights into the alignment of scientific and business interests in the metaverse.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
