Metaverse describes a new shape of cyberspace and has become a hot-trending word since 2021. There are many explanations about what Meterverse is and attempts to provide a formal standard or definition of Metaverse.However, these definitions could hardly reach universal acceptance. Rather than providing a formal definition of the Metaverse, we list four must-have characteristics of the Metaverse: socialization, immersive interaction, real world-building, and expandability. These characteristics not only carve the Metaverse into a novel and fantastic digital world, but also make it suffer from all security/privacy risks, such as personal information leakage, eavesdropping, unauthorized access, phishing, data injection, broken authentication, insecure design, and more. This paper first introduces the four characteristics, then the current progress and typical applications of the Metaverse are surveyed and categorized into four economic sectors. Based on the four characteristics and the findings of the current progress, the security and privacy issues in the Metaverse are investigated. We then identify and discuss more potential critical security and privacy issues that can be caused by combining the four characteristics. Lastly, the paper also raises some other concerns regarding society and humanity.

“…Li and colleagues have proposed using a virtual reality game application to foster students’ close attention to the body [ 68 ], noting that this strategy has been used in efforts to foster empathy among medical students [ 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 ] and facilitate embodiment [ 73 ]. They proposed introducing learners to realistic scenarios involving Parkinson’s disease and requiring that the learners complete specified tasks under the effects of a simulated tremor.…”

“…They proposed introducing learners to realistic scenarios involving Parkinson’s disease and requiring that the learners complete specified tasks under the effects of a simulated tremor. The tasks include using a telephone, picking up and putting down pills in the correct order, turning off an alarm clock, showering, brushing teeth, and preparing a sandwich [ 68 ]. At the time of this writing, the application has been tested and was ready for classroom use, but its effectiveness in achieving the desired aims is not yet available.…”

Concerns have been raised regarding medicine’s dehumanization of patients and providers and regarding the need to include, in the medical school curriculum, components that encourage the development of empathy and humanistic practice. This essay suggests that the development of humanistic practice requires attention to not only the cognitive and affective/emotive aspects of humanism, but also to the nurturing of intersubjectivity between the provider and the patient through strategies designed to promote embodied awareness. Several approaches to the development of embodied awareness are discussed, including puppetry pedagogy, drama, and virtual reality applications.
