Interoperability of the Metaverse: A Digital Ecosystem Perspective Review
arxiv(2024)
摘要
The Metaverse is at the vanguard of the impending digital revolution, with
the potential to significantly transform industries and lifestyles. However, in
2023, skepticism surfaced within industrial and academic spheres, raising
concerns that excitement may outpace actual technological progress.
Interoperability, recognized as a major barrier to the Metaverse's full
potential, is central to this debate. CoinMarketCap's report in February 2023
indicated that of over 240 metaverse initiatives, most existed in isolation,
underscoring the interoperability challenge. Despite consensus on its critical
role, there is a research gap in exploring the impact on the Metaverse,
significance, and developmental extent. Our study bridges this gap via a
systematic literature review and content analysis of the Web of Science (WoS)
and Scopus databases, yielding 74 publications after a rigorous selection
process. Interoperability, difficult to define due to varied contexts and lack
of standardization, is central to the Metaverse, often seen as a digital
ecosystem. Urs Gasser's framework from Harvard Law School, outlining
technological, data, human, and institutional dimensions, systematically
addresses interoperability complexities. Incorporating this framework, we
dissect literature for a comprehensive Metaverse interoperability overview. Our
study seeks to establish benchmarks for future inquiries, navigating the
complex field of Metaverse interoperability studies and contributing to
academic advancement.
