Unified Metaverse Creation: A Model Design for Converging Services in Metaverse Development Process

Abstract

The online service market has seen increased integration and activation driven by manufacturing efficiency and automation, further accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a growing demand for Metaverse technology and applications. However, developing Metaverse applications using diverse methods presents significant cost and time constraints for developers and businesses. In particular, the development of integrated application services based on the metaverse is facing an increase in development process complexity, which can lead to a significant rise in development costs and time. This study proposed an optimized design approach for Metaverse application development models. The concept of a 'Metaverse convergence service' refers to a pioneering service that seamlessly merges conventional application-based information services with cutting-edge Metaverse technology and tools. The 'Unified Metaverse Creation' model addresses this issue, providing Metaverse developers with support for working convergence processes in a consistent environment and enhancing service quality. The challenges associated with developing Metaverse convergence services were investigated in the research, and essential assessment criteria for the development system were outlined. Therefore, this study aims to propose an optimized design methodology for the Metaverse integration application development process model, analyze key technological issues, suggest strategies for successful development, and provide an evaluation framework for Metaverse integration systems.
