The Metaverse, an emerging digital realm blurring the line between reality and virtual experiences, offers a glimpse into a future where human interaction transcends physical boundaries. This book examines the various aspects of the Metaverse, exploring its challenges and opportunities. The Metaverse promises boundless creativity, but it also raises profound questions about the core of human experience. How will it affect our sense of identity, our capacity for empathy, and the nature of our social relationships? What impact might it have on life satisfaction and our understanding of reality itself? As we work "toward a humane Metaverse", we must navigate the intricate interplay between technology and humanity. This journey requires us to critically examine how we can integrate these new technologies in ways that benefit society as a whole. In this view, the main goal of the book is to shape a future where the virtual world enhances, rather than diminishes, the richness of human experience.
