Abstract

Metaverse combines the virtual and physical, synthesizing the internet, the web, and extended reality into a world where digital and physical elements blend in differing degrees. The core purpose of the metaverse is social connection. This consists of users coexisting in an ecosystem that includes cultures, laws, economies, societies, and related obligations. Therefore, it will demand standards of how humans should behave and what is considered right and wrong. Ethics is based on these standards within any given universe. The ethical challenges faced in developing and deploying a metaverse are explored, and ethical design considerations of metaverse environments are defined. The metaverse ecosystem is described and critical technologies that support it are included. Examples of current metaverses are provided so that the reader can explore and experience a metaverse and further assess the ethics and benefits.
