A Study on Development Direction of Metaverse and Six Issues to Promote Metaverse

Metaverse which was not mentioned until recently due to the failure of ‘Second Life’ in the past is drawing attention again with the emergence and popularity of metaverse platforms such as ‘Roblox’ and ‘Zeppetto’. On the other hand, there are concerns that past failures will still be repeated. In order to create and sustain the ecosystem surrounding the metaverse, it is important to diagnose and analyze the development process of the metaverse industry and market to define a clear concept that expresses the current metaverse boom. In this paper, the metaverse of the future is defined as “Metaverse 2.0: A virtual world that evolves into a ‘Hyper world’ through the convergence of hyper-connectivity, hyper-intelligence, and hyper-reality.” And six issues that need to be resolved for the activation of the metaverse were analyzed. Based on the contents of this study, it is expected that the metaverse ecosystem will be formed and spread by establishing the roles of the public sector and the private sector.
