초록
메타버스라는 사이버 초현실 세상이 다가오고 있다. 팬데믹으로 인해 원격근무와 원격학습 또는 사회적 격리를 경험한 이들에게는 행동의 제약과 한계를 뛰어넘어 상상의 세상으로 안내하며, 새로운 사회적 관계를 만들어 가도록 도와주는 메타버스는 사이버 세계의 오아시스와 같은 세상이다. 다양한 플랫폼들을 중심으로 메타버스 생태계가 진화하고 있는 가운데 실무 및 학계에서 다양한 논의가 오가고 있지만 아직까지는 이러한 변화를 이끌어갈 다양한 학술적 논의가 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 논평에서는 현재 논의 중인 메타버스의 개념과 현황에 대해서 정리하고 메타버스가 성장하고, 사회에 의미있는 가치를 창출하기 위해 필요한 핵심 연구 주제와 분야별 세부 연구 방향에 대해서 제안하고자 한다. 이를 통해 학계에서 다양한 관점의 메타버스 연구가 시의적절하게 수행되고 관련 연구들을 통해 건강하고 바람직한 메타버스 생태계가 조성되고 진화해 가기를 바란다.
Abstract
Metaverse has been encountering in our daily lives, and it has dynamically changed people’s way of working, educating, and entertaining. During the Covid-19, people has been more immersed with virtual world. For example, the virtual environments have created new form and features of our remote work, online education, entertainment, and so on. Also, some people make a strong tie with their avatar to live in a virtual world. Indeed, it became a new normal life now. With this radical social and technological change, the metaverse has become a core issue for the communities of researchers and practitioners as well, and a variety of meaningful research and products have been conducted so far. Nevertheless, it still is lack of diverse theoretical, empirical, and practical studies, dealing with this huge socio-technical shift with the metaverse. Therefore, in this special issue commentary, we suggest potential metaverse research issues and topics, which highlight how management, organization, and information systems researchers could dance with the ongoing metaverse ecosystem for creating more productive research performances.
