Die Entwicklung des Internets, insbesondere des WWW, stößt aktuell an ihre Grenzen ¿ sowohl technisch als auch sozio-kulturell und ökonomisch. Als Lösung wird ein neues Internet versprochen, das die Grenzen der realen und der virtuellen Welt überwinden und Realität und Digitalität verschmelzen soll ¿ das Metaversum. Technische, semantische und organisatorische Details greifen hierzu eng ineinander. Was aber bedeutet dies bei genauerer Betrachtung? Welche technisch-technologischen Herausforderungen müssen bewältigt werden, um ein solches Verschmelzen zu erreichen? Welche ökonomischen Möglichkeiten eröffnen sich¿ und welche verbieten sich möglicherweise? Wie kann erreicht werden, dass ein offenes und für jeden benutzbares Metaversum entsteht? Und wie kann vermieden werden, dass auch in diesem neuen Metaversum wenige große Anbieter ihre proprietären Ideen durchsetzen? Für diese Fragen soll dieses Buch Antworten aufzeigen.

Cultural heritage refers to the legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes of a group or society that is inherited from previous generations. It is essential to preserve and protect the cultural heritage by passing it from one generation to the next generation. Virtual reality (VR) technologies create a virtual environment with realistic sense of vision, hearing, and touch. VR plays an important role in the protection and preservation of cultural heritage. During the process of research, exhibition and inheritance, cultural heritage may be damaged or corroded. This damage can be prevented by the use of VR. The three-dimensional models of material cultural heritage can be constructed by using the VR technology. It can also be used for virtual reproduction of cultural heritage based on archaeological research data and literature records for sites and remains that have not been excavated or annihilated. VR technology is also used to create a virtual museum that facilitates the protection and dissemination of cultural heritage. This book outlines the role of virtual reality technologies in preserving and protecting cultural heritage. A number of latest researches have been included herein to keep the readers abreast with the most recent concepts in this area of study.

This book examines two topics in the context of product design and enabling technologies: User eXperience (UX) and eXtended Reality (XR). UX regards the ways in which people interact with the environment and with objects and is considered of primary importance in many contexts. When developing new products, UX must be carefully designed and evaluated directly with the users. Prototyping is a well-known, effective, and widely used practice for design evaluation. The book describes how prototyping based on XR technologies, including Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality, is a suitable approach for testing ideas and products without fully physically building them. The major benefits, which are well explained and demonstrated in this book, consist in allowing users to experience products, including their appearance, functions, and usability, in a digital context that can be easily modified and customized according to the users¿ feedback and the context of use.The audience of the book includes graduate students who wish to learn more about prototyping methods and technologies and product and digital application designers who can deepen their knowledge on advanced digital technologies for evaluating the designs of products and experiences.

Although there are various studies on theories and analytical techniques to address consumer behavior change in the current world, tracking consumer behavior change in the metaverse and the adoption of the metaverse remains a challenge that requires discussion. The advent of the metaverse will have a profound influence on consumer behavior, from how people make decisions and create brand connections to how they feel about their avatar embodiment and their purchases in the metaverse. The Handbook of Research on Consumer Behavioral Analytics in Metaverse and the Adoption of a Virtual World investigates the social, behavioral, and psychological factors that influence metaverse adoption. The focus then shifts to concepts, theories, and analytical approaches for detecting changes in consumer behavior in the metaverse. Covering topics such as e-commerce markets, user experience, and immersive technologies, this major reference work is an excellent resource for business executives, entrepreneurs, data analysts, marketers, advertisers, government officials, social media professionals, librarians, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.

This book proposes a novel body image to bridge gap between self-transformation and preserving sense of self: the Jizai body. Automation and digitization have served to transform our lives. Digital transformation, for example, is rapidly changing the world every day, making life more convenient and comfortable. However, there is a worrying trend of removing the human element from human-centric systems as technologies and algorithms become more capable. Leaving humanity behind, especially its corporal components, will leave persons unable to feel a sense of self in their newfound comfort. Despite the allure of an automated life, it is doubtful that the authors will find happiness without a sense of control. Exploring the essence of what makes us human from a physiological and psychological standpoint, the authors present a new perspective on what constitutes a body in this era where the real physical world and virtual information world coexist. The authors present state-of-the-art research which seeks to free humanity from its physical constraints and allow free control of both the natural and extended body. The next step in human evolution starts here.
