Covid-19 calls for minimizing gatherings of people in spaces such as offices. Organizations are encouraging information-sharing activities among employees by using online platform technology. Recently, Organizations are supporting their work using the metaverse. This study confirms the effect of metaverse presence on the intention to share knowledge by forming the intrinsic motivation of the employees and the moderating effect of the individual's digital technological competence. We presented research hypotheses through previous studies such as virtual reality and tested the hypotheses using 309 samples obtained through surveys. As a result, the social, tele, and self presence of the metaverse increased organizational-related intrinsic motivation(organizational identification, value congruence) and had a positive effect on the intention to share knowledge. In addition, digital technological competence moderated the relationship between value congruence and intention to share knowledge. This study suggests the importance of strategies to enhance the presence of metaverse for organizations to increase work productivity by using metaverse and the need to support individual digital competence reinforcement.

메타버스 플랫폼에 대한 관심 및 사용량의 증가에 따라 기존 사이버 범죄 유형인 정보통신망 침해 범죄, 정보통신망 이용 범죄, 불법 콘텐츠 범죄와 더불어 아바타에 대한 강간, 강제추행, 공연음란, 스토킹 등 새로운 유형의 범죄가 발생하고 있다. 이에 형사법적 관점에서의 대응 방안과 기술적 관점에서의 디지털 포렌식 연구가 시작되고 있다. 사용자의 몰입감을 증대하여 가상 환경이 현실이라고 느낄 정도의 실감 기술을 제공하는 메타버스의 특성으로 인해 메타버스 플랫폼에 대한 포렌식 분석은 기존의 전통적인 포렌식 연구와는 다른 접근이 요구된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 메타버스 범죄 사례들을 살펴보고 이에 대응하기 위한 연구 동향을 파악해 보았다. 또한 메타버스에 대한 포렌식 분석 시 기존 디지털 포렌식과는 다른 관점에서 접근해야 할 사항들을 정리하였다.

최근 대화형 AI와 생성형 AI의 폭발적인 성장과 현실화로 인해, 한 때 온세상을 떠들썩 하게 했던 메타버스와 블록체인 기술은 잊혀지고 있다. 하지만 메타버스는 필연적으로 Web 3.0 시대의 대표적인 플랫폼으로 흘러갈 것이며, 블록체인 기술은 디지털 경제 생태계의 핵심 기술임에 틀림이 없을 것이다. 언제가 될지는 모르지만 다시금 메타버스가 세상을 혁명적으로 변화 시키는 그 때를 염두에 두며, 메타버스 시스템에서 사용되는 블록체인 기술의 현황을 살펴보고 그리 멀지 않은 미래에서의 모습도 전망해 본다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing the intention to use the Metaverse from various angles based on the Extended Technology Acceptance Model and Value-based Adoption Model. Specifically, we examined whether there is a difference in perception of the Metaverse and in factors affecting the intention to use the Metaverse between the Metaverse experienced and non-experienced. For this purpose, the variables were classified into the technical characteristics of the Metaverse (interactivity, content quality), perceived benefits (perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment), and perceived sacrifices (perceived risk, perceived complexity) and a survey was conducted with university students. The findings of this study indicate that the perceived interactivity, usefulness, and enjoyment of the Metaverse had a major impact on the intention to use the Metaverse for those without Metaverse experience, whereas enjoyment of the Metaverse had the greatest impact on the intention to use the Metaverse for those with Metaverse experience. Based on the study results, we provided marketing strategy implications for continuous growth and development of the Metaverse industry.

Recently, metaverse is rapidly expanding its area as a platform that can be applied to various fields. In particular, the function that allows many users to interact in a three-dimensional space allows VR/AR-based educational content to be used as a more advanced concept. Due to the nature of engineering education, it is often based on three-dimensional objects. In the case of a three-dimensional object, it is difficult to explain through two-dimensional videos or documents, and it becomes more difficult to express when the process of changing the object is included. The three-dimensional space of the metaverse can improve this difficulty based on real-time rendering. Another characteristic of engineering education is that there are many invisible elements. Although it is involved in the movement of objects due to electromagnetic fields, magnetic fields, and forces, it is the main reason for increasing learning difficulty because it is invisible. These problems can also help learning because they can be visually represented in the metaverse space. In this paper, the results of the establishment of the metaverse platform for engineering education and the real-time lecture contents produced based on it are described, and the applied results and lecture evaluation are discussed. Lectures using a total of 9 metaverse contents were conducted, and 90% of the positive lecture evaluation results were obtained.

As face-to-face social exchanges are limited by the pandemic, the influence of the metaverse, a virtual space crosses virtual and reality, is gradually expanding. Various metaverse platforms are currently taking advanced AI technology to provide users with a more diverse experience. However, as a result, if AI-human communion in the metaverse space is as active as the relationship between humans, this may lead to side effects that threaten humanity. This study emphasized the value of empathy as a way to minimize the side effects, and suggested that the concept and role of empathy need to be expanded. Accordingly, we conducted an empirical study to examine the difference between social relationship in the metaverse and in real life at the current level, and based on the results, we predicted the future social relationship in the environment where AI was applied to the metaverse. Combining the study, we proposed "Digital Human Empathy" for human dignity in the digital age.

코로나 시대를 거쳐 뉴노멀로 향하는 이 시점에 메타버스 플랫폼을 활용한 다양한 조직의 운영이 기대된다. 조직에서의 리더는 구성원들을 이끌며 조직의 목표에 도달을 수 있도록 리더십을 발휘한다. 이런 리더십은 예전부터 다양한 형태로 발전되어 져서 전통적 리더십에서 변혁적 리더십, 카리스마 리더십, 슈퍼 리더십 등을 거쳐 최근에는 서번트 리더십이 각광을 받고 있다. 현실에서의 조직을 이끄는 리더십과 가상의 공간의 메타버스상에서의 리더십은 분명 많은 차이가 있을 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 리더의 서번트 리더십의 지각수준과, 서번트 리더십의 구성요소가 현실과 메타버스 플랫폼을 사용하는 조직을 대조하여 구성원의 직무태도 및 조직몰입의 영향에 대하여 질문을 던지고 새로운 리더십의 방향을 찾는 연구에 대한 기준을 제시한다.

In this paper, we consider the potential of a metaverse space that can be expanded infinitely through the reinvention of the metaverse space. In particular, this study attempted to establish a new concept of metaverse space, and to present research models and strategies between technologies and humanities. To perform this, this study revealed problems that can be overlooked through characteristic analysis of the metaverse space and proposed ways to overcome them through in-depth interviews with experts. In this way, interdisciplinary research will contribute to the revitalization of the metaverse content industry in the mid to long term. Therefore, through this study, it is expected that reinterpreted metaverse space can reach a practical realization as a meaningful place of life and a creative space through Yi-Fu Tuan's concept.

This study analyzed successful cases of using metaverse in a reality where interest in metaverse is increasing. The use of Metaverse is mainly used in companies to explore its industrial potential or government agencies strive for policy support, but the possibility of application in educational institutions has another meaning. We tried to find the success factors and future implications by analyzing actual cases of using metaverse at university entrance ceremonies. As a result of analyzing the case of S University in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do's metaverse entrance ceremony, it was determined that the university's first metaverse entrance ceremony could be counted as a very meaningful success story. Specifically, on the technical level, it stood out that the existing metaverse technology and the new technology for the event were properly harmonized. At the organizational level, it is meaningful that the internal organization's resources were efficiently utilized based on previous experiences. On the environmental level, the COVID19 environment and the MZ generation. It was analyzed that the social change of going to college contributed to the planning and success of the metaverse entrance ceremony. As a result, it is judged that the successful use of the resources possessed by a clear goal is the success factor of the metaverse entrance ceremony.
