Abstract

The Metaverse, profoundly and closely related to VR technology, is attracting attention as a space where social activities can be realized online, and among its various applications, its use in education and training is highly anticipated. However, educational and training applications using the Metaverse should not serve as alternatives to the physical world but rather demonstrate their true value in things that can only be realized in VR or are first made possible in the Metaverse. This article discusses the Metaverse's potential and desired state through new educational and training initiatives enabled by it.
