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.
