Mini-Track: Virtual Communities in the Metaverse Hailed as the future, the Metaverse is blurring physical and virtual boundaries by creating a parallel universe where individuals can take on persistent digital personas and experience realities that are not bounded by physics. In its idealistic form, the Metaverse blends immersive technologies (e.g., Augmented or Virtual Reality) with digital contracts (e.g., Nonfungible tokens) and distributed ledger technology (e.g., blockchain) to create mesmeric environments coupled with interoperable platforms for trading virtual assets. This mini-track is aimed at expanding our knowledge of contemporary developments in the Metaverse and their implications for technology-mediated behaviors within such environments. We are particularly interested in research that sheds light on how value is created and harvested in the Metaverse to bring about benefits for individuals, firms, and the broader society.
