Abstract
The concept of the metaverse dates to 1992; however, the popularity of this concept has gained increased attention in 2021 following the announcement by Mark Zuckerberg. The topic of the metaverse is a new and attractive topic that is gaining increased insight from researchers. The paper focuses on a broader evaluation of the metaverse and web 3.0 technologies. Moreover, an assessment of the history and potential of these technologies is considered. Additionally, an evaluation of the available literature reviews between 1992 and 2022 was conducted. The assessment identified enormous attention on this scope from diverse multidisciplinary fields ranging from virtual reality, augmented reality, quantum communication, and blockchain. In the next ten years, expected progress is expected concerning metaverse and web 3.0 technologies. Consequently, these technologies will significantly impact how users interact with one another and how they associate with the internet. In this paper, we address the current security challenges and opportunities with the rise of the metaverse.
