The Metaverse has emerged as the next big thing after the mobile internet, and the term ”Metaverse” has exploded in popularity over the last few years. However, the phrase is often used without a definition, and when it does have a description, it is usually rather vague – and the implications are often challenging to comprehend.

At the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, we believe that the Metaverse is a concept that we need to dive deeper into when it comes to the possible futures. Rather than defining what it is today, we find it more productive to define what it might become - no matter what term we call it. Once the technologies and use cases supporting the concept have matured, the Metaverse have the potential to revolutionise our society. This creates a need for anticipation and preparation.
