1.INTRODUCTION
The "metaverse" is a term that originated in science
fiction and refers to a hypothetical version of the internet
that creates a single, universal, and immersive virtual world.
This virtual world is facilitated through the use of virtual
reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets, and is
focused on social and economic connections. While theterm
was first introduced in 1992, recent interest in metaverse
development has been linked to the concept of Web3, a
decentralized iteration of the internet.
Metaverse development is heavily influenced byadvancesin
virtual reality technology, as the demand for immersion
continues to grow. However, concerns around privacy, user
addiction, and user safety have been raised, drawing
parallels to the issues faced by social media and video game
industries. Despite these challenges, components of
metaverse technology have already been developed within
online video games such as Second Life, Active Worlds, and
The Palace.
Popular games like Habbo Hotel, World of Warcraft,
Minecraft, Fortnite, and VR Chat are also describedaspart of
the metaverse, while Roblox has employed significant usage
of the term in marketing. Massively multiplayer online
games often incorporate social interaction and 3D virtual
environments, which are importantaspectsofthemetaverse
that is being developed. In recent years, major technology
companies have made significant investments in the
metaverse. In 2017, Microsoft acquired Artspace VR and
subsequently integrated virtual reality avatars and virtual
meetings into their Microsoft Teams platform. In 2019,
Facebook (now called Meta Platforms) introducedFacebook
Horizon, a virtual reality social world. Later in 2021, the
company's chairman, Mark Zuckerberg, announced their
dedication to building a metaverse. The company faced
criticism around user safety and a $10 billion loss in its
metaverse development department. In February 2023,
Zuckerberg announced the company's pivot away from the
metaverse to focus on AI.
As the metaverse continues to evolve, ongoing research and
development are necessary to address concerns and inform
policy makers and professionals about thepotential benefits
and challenges of this emerging technology. While the full
potential of the metaverse is yet to be realized, it has the
potential to transform various industries, including
marketing, education, and healthcare.
Another important aspect of the metaverse is the use of
digital currencies and blockchain technology. In many
metaverse platforms, users can buy, sell, and trade virtual
assets using cryptocurrencies or other digital currencies.
Non-fungible tokens are also commonly used to track
ownership and provenance of digital assets within the
metaverse. This has created a new market for digital art,
where rare or unique items can sell for millions of dollars.
The potential applications for metaversetechnologyarevast
and varied. One proposed use is for improving work
productivity by creating immersivevirtual environmentsfor

remote work and collaboration. Interactive learning
environments could also be created, allowing for more
engaging and personalized education experiences. E-
commerce is another sectorthatcouldbetransformed bythe
metaverse, as virtual storefronts and product displayscould
provide a more interactive and engaging shopping
experience.
Mass-audience interaction isalsoa promisingapplication for
the metaverse, as it could allow for large-scale events and
performances to take place in virtual spaces, reaching
audiences from all over the world. Healthcare and therapy
could also benefit from metaverse technology, with virtual
environments providing a safe and immersive space for
treatment and rehabilitation. Real estate and fashion
industries could also leveragethemetaversetocreatevirtual
showrooms and tours, providing customers with a more
interactive and engaging experience. Despite the potential
benefits, there are also concerns around the impact of the
metaverse on society. Privacy, security, and user addiction
are just a few of the issues that need to be addressed as the
technology develops. Ongoing research and development
will be crucial in ensuring that the metaverseisdevelopedin
a responsible and beneficial way.

3. Research Themes and Areas
The study’s findings can be organized intodifferentresearch
categories and plotted on a two-dimensional spacebased on
relevance (centrality) and development (density). The
resulting map classified the metaverse research themesinto
four groups: motor themes, niche themes, emergingthemes,
and basic themes.
Fig -1: Research Themes and Areas
The areas with the highest concentration of research were
motor themes and emerging themes. The research findings
have categorized the metaverse research themes into four
groups, representedina two-dimensional spaceaccordingto
their relevance degree (centrality) and development degree
(density). Motor themes, locatedintheupper-rightquadrant
with strong centrality and high density, denote well-
developed and relevant areas of academic investigationthat
can drive future research. The study's primary outcome
reveals that metaverses have been explored as "virtual
reality" and "virtual worlds". The metaverse's potential as a
virtual world that can be useful for "e-learning", "computer-
aided instruction" and from a "human" perspective
represents another relevant aspect of the academic analysis.
Basic themes, situated in the lower-right quadrant with low
centrality but high density, comprise topics relevant to
research but are general. However, they still have the
potential to be rapidly developed through further studies to
address research gaps and provide more comprehensive
insights. These themes include "virtual reality technology"
(as in the precedent quadrant) and "emotion" as a synthesis
of marketing and consumer behaviour.
Emerging themes, located in the lower-left quadrant with
low density and low centrality, represent topics such as
"COVID-19" and "key technology" such as "5g mobile
communication system". In addition, "sustainability",
"sustainable development", and "economic and social
effects" have been reported in this area. Niche themes,
positioned in the upper-left quadrant with high centrality
and low density, consist of highly specialized topics that
could be significant for future research, such as "education",
"medical", and "medical education".
Lastly, the metaverse can be realized by utilizingaugmented
reality and other emerging technologies,asevidencedbythe
intersection of the two axes.

Blockchain technology plays a critical role in providing a
decentralized infrastructure for the metaverse, ensuring
data quality, privacy, and security, and enabling a complete
economic systeminwhichvirtual goodscanbecomephysical
objects. Artificial intelligence (AI) also plays a significant
role, automating the metaverse ecosystem, and ensuring
reliable infrastructure, facilitating user interaction, and
supporting content creation. The internet of things (IoT)
connects the real world to the internet via computing
devices for sensingandcommunication,allowingforefficient
replication of the physical world in the metaverse. The
combination of immersive technologies and IoT is known as
XR-IoT (XRI), creating a hyper-connected environment and
improving human-to-object and human-to-human
relationships.
Finally, digital twins create a virtual twin of real-world
objects, predicting their expected behavior using real-world
data. This technology is used in the metaverse to mirror the
real world onto the virtual world, enabling the collection of
data to create simulations that model how products,
processes, or services would perform in the real world and
provide solutions to unresolved issues.
4.2. Using Bionic Contact Lenses
A metaverse refers to a virtual world where people can
interact with each other and engage in various activities.
Bionic contact lenses are a type ofadvancedcontactlensthat
can display digital information directly on the user's eye.
This means that people can access information and interact
with the virtual world without needing a separate device. In
simpler terms, the concept of a metaverse using bionic
contact lenses involves creating a virtual world that can be
accessed through smart contact lenses, allowing people to
engage with it in a more seamless and immersive way.
Bionic contact lenses have the potential to enhance the
immersive experience of the metaverse by enabling users to
seamlessly access virtual environments and interact with
digital content. With these lenses, users can view virtual
objects and information that appearasiftheyareoverlaidon
the real world, resulting in a blended reality that blurs the
distinction between physical and virtual worlds. In simpler
terms, the use of bionic contactlensesinthemetaversecould
provide users with a more realistic and seamless experience
by allowing them to interact with virtual contentasifitwere
part of their physical environment.
Bionic contact lenses could have a valuable application in
gaming and entertainment within the metaverse. By using
the lenses, players can access virtual reality games and
experiences, where the game world merges effortlesslywith
the real world, offering a highly immersive experience.
Furthermore, these lenses can also serve as a means of
presenting information regarding live events such as sports
or concerts, where users can access real-time stats or view
virtual replays of the action. By using the lenses, users can
access virtual meeting spaces, where they can interact with
colleagues or clients in an entirely immersive environment.
Additionally, the lenses can display virtual whiteboards or
other collaboration tools, making it simpler to brainstorm
and share ideas. In simpler terms, the use of bionic contact
lenses in the metaverse can revolutionize the way people
communicate and collaborate, by allowing them to enter
virtual meeting spaces and engage with one another in a
more immersive and interactive manner.
The idea of a metaverse using bionic contact lenses is both
thrilling and promising as it could transform our interaction
with digital technologyand withoneanother.Althoughthere
are technical and ethical hurdles to be tackled, the creation
of such technology can bring us closer to achieving a fully
immersive virtual universe. In simpler terms, the concept of
a metaverse using bionic contact lenses holds immense
potential to transform the way weperceiveandinteractwith
digital content and others, and despite the challenges, it
could lead to a more complete and dynamic virtual reality.

This virtual world is facilitated through the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets, and is focused on social and economic connections. While theterm was first introduced in 1992, recent interest in metaverse development has been linked to the concept of Web3, a decentralized iteration of the internet. Metaverse development is heavily influenced byadvancesin virtual reality technology, as the demand for immersion continues to grow. However, concerns around privacy, user addiction, and user safety have been raised, drawing parallels to the issues faced by social media and video game industries. Despite these challenges, components of metaverse technology have already been developed within online video games such as Second Life, Active Worlds, and The Palace. Popular games like Habbo Hotel, World of Warcraft, Minecraft, Fortnite, and VR Chat are also describedaspart of the metaverse, while Roblox has employed significant usage of the term in marketing. Massively multiplayer online games often incorporate social interaction and 3D virtual environments, which are importantaspectsofthemetaverse that is being developed. In recent years, major technology companies have made significant investments in the metaverse. In 2017, Microsoft acquired Artspace VR and subsequently integrated virtual reality avatars and virtual meetings into their Microsoft Teams platform. In 2019, Facebook (now called Meta Platforms) introducedFacebook Horizon, a virtual reality social world. Later in 2021, the company's chairman, Mark Zuckerberg, announced their dedication to building a metaverse. The company faced criticism around user safety and a $10 billion loss in its metaverse development department. In February 2023, Zuckerberg announced the company's pivot away from the metaverse to focus on AI. As the metaverse continues to evolve, ongoing research and development are necessary to address concerns and inform policy makers and professionals about thepotential benefits and challenges of this emerging technology. While the full potential of the metaverse is yet to be realized, it has the potential to transform various industries, including marketing, education, and healthcare. Another important aspect of the metaverse is the use of digital currencies and blockchain technology. In many metaverse platforms, users can buy, sell, and trade virtual assets using cryptocurrencies or other digital currencies. Non-fungible tokens are also commonly used to track ownership and provenance of digital assets within the metaverse. This has created a new market for digital art, where rare or unique items can sell for millions of dollars. The potential applications for metaversetechnologyarevast and varied. One proposed use is for improving work productivity by creating immersivevirtual environmentsfor

Research Themes and Areas The study’s findings can be organized intodifferentresearch categories and plotted on a two-dimensional spacebased on relevance (centrality) and development (density). The resulting map classified the metaverse research themesinto four groups: motor themes, niche themes, emergingthemes, and basic themes. Fig -1: Research Themes and Areas The areas with the highest concentration of research were motor themes and emerging themes. The research findings have categorized the metaverse research themes into four groups, representedina two-dimensional spaceaccordingto their relevance degree (centrality) and development degree (density). Motor themes, locatedintheupper-rightquadrant with strong centrality and high density, denote well- developed and relevant areas of academic investigationthat can drive future research. The study's primary outcome reveals that metaverses have been explored as "virtual reality" and "virtual worlds". The metaverse's potential as a virtual world that can be useful for "e-learning", "computer- aided instruction" and from a "human" perspective represents another relevant aspect of the academic analysis. Basic themes, situated in the lower-right quadrant with low centrality but high density, comprise topics relevant to research but are general. However, they still have the potential to be rapidly developed through further studies to address research gaps and provide more comprehensive insights. These themes include "virtual reality technology" (as in the precedent quadrant) and "emotion" as a synthesis of marketing and consumer behaviour. Emerging themes, located in the lower-left quadrant with low density and low centrality, represent topics such as "COVID-19" and "key technology" such as "5g mobile communication system". In addition, "sustainability", "sustainable development", and "economic and social effects" have been reported in this area. Niche themes, positioned in the upper-left quadrant with high centrality and low density, consist of highly specialized topics that could be significant for future research, such as "education", "medical", and "medical education". Lastly, the metaverse can be realized by utilizingaugmented reality and other emerging technologies,asevidencedbythe intersection of the two axes. 4. Discussions 4.1.
