Abstract

Metaverse provides a simulated environment that can produce various values while conducting economic, social, and cultural activities in a digital society where the virtual and real worlds are connected. In this paper, the direction of technological progress is predicted by analyzing the characteristics of Metaverse services and their businesses. Technologies and latest researches for the realization of the Metaverse service platform are also explored. In addition, Metaverse Ethics to construct a sustainable Metaverse and Metaverse UX to increase users' service participation are also discussed. Moreover, the R&D promotion strategy for Metaverse services are presented.

메타버스는 가상과 현실이 연결된 디지털 사회에서 사회·문화·경제 활동을 하며 다양한 가치를 생산할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 환경을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 메타버스 서비스와 산업 현황을 분석하고 서비스 플랫폼 구현 기술들을 살펴봄으로써 그 발전 방향을 예측해 본다. 그리고, 지속가능한 메타버스를 구성하기 위한 메타버스 윤리(Metaverse Ethics)와 사용자들의 서비스 참여를 높이기 위한 메타버스 사용자경험(UX)에 대해서도 논의한다. 마지막으로, 기술 경쟁력 확보를 위해 디지털 윤리와 UX가 반영된 메타버스 R&D 추진전략을 제시한다.
