Abstract

The Metaverse, an evolving concept that fuses physical reality with digital virtuality, offers a dynamic environment for exploration. This paper reports the panel discussion on the Metaverse and its potential implications for individuals and research. This discussion was held at the Digitization of the Individual (DOTI) workshop at the International Conference on Information Systems in December 2022. Four scientists who have researched virtual reality, immersiveness, and corresponding user behavior were invited to the panel discussion. The panelists offered their perspectives on the unique characteristics of the Metaverse, how it differs from earlier digital worlds, and the implications that the Metaverse will bring for individuals. This paper provides an introduction to the emerging phenomenon of “Metaverse” and summarizes the discussion and expert perspectives on the topic. Furthermore, this paper links the discussion to the ongoing discourse in the literature, setting the stage for further investigations by providing explicit research avenues and questions.

元宇宙：是真正的变革还是另一个研究领域？

元宇宙（Metaverse）是一个不断发展的概念，它融合了物理现实和数字虚拟性，提供了一个动态的探索环境。本文报告了关于元宇宙及其对个人和研究的潜在影响的小组讨论。这次讨论是在 2022 年 12 月国际信息系统大会的 "个人数字化（DOTI）"研讨会上进行的。四位研究虚拟现实、沉浸感和相应用户行为的科学家应邀参加了小组讨论。小组成员就元宇宙的独特特征、与早期数字世界的不同之处以及元宇宙将给个人带来的影响发表了自己的观点。本文介绍了 "元宇宙 "这一新兴现象，并总结了讨论情况和专家对这一主题的看法。此外，本文还将讨论与文献中正在进行的讨论联系起来，通过提供明确的研究途径和问题，为进一步的研究奠定基础。

期刊介绍： Electronic Markets (EM) stands as a premier academic journal providing a dynamic platform for research into various forms of networked business. Recognizing the pivotal role of information and communication technology (ICT), EM delves into how ICT transforms the interactions between organizations and customers across diverse domains such as social networks, electronic commerce, supply chain management, and customer relationship management. Electronic markets, in essence, encompass the realms of networked business where multiple suppliers and customers engage in economic transactions within single or multiple tiers of economic value chains. This broad concept encompasses various forms, including allocation platforms with dynamic price discovery mechanisms, fostering atomistic relationships. Notable examples originate from financial markets (e.g., CBOT, XETRA) and energy markets (e.g., EEX, ICE). Join us in exploring the multifaceted landscape of electronic markets and their transformative impact on business interactions and dynamics.
