Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, the metaverse has attracted enormous attention from around the world with the development of related technologies. The expected metaverse should be a realistic society with more direct and physical interactions, while the concepts of race, gender, and even physical disability would be weakened, which would be highly beneficial for society. However, the development of metaverse is still in its infancy, with great potential for improvement. Regarding metaverse's huge potential, industry has already come forward with advance preparation, accompanied by feverish investment, but there are few discussions about metaverse in academia to scientifically guide its development. In this paper, we highlight whether it is possible for mankind to be able to emerge beyond universe with metaverse. Then we propose a nine-layer metaverse architecture from a macro perspective, containing experience, discovery, creator economy, spatial computing , decentralization, human interface, infrastructure, virtuality, and ecosystem. Moreover, we journey toward both a historical and novel metaverse, on how metaverse helps humans to not just watch internet but enter into it, with a detailed timeline and table of specific attributes. Lastly, we illustrate our implemented blockchain-driven metaverse prototype of a university campus and discuss the prototype design and insights. the most common conceptions of the metaverse stem from science fiction. Here, the Metaverse is typically portrayed as a sort of digital ” jacked-in” internet-a manifestation of actual reality, but one based in a virtual)often theme park-like)world, such those portrayed in Ready Player One and The Matrix. And while these sorts of experiences are likely to be an aspect of the Metaverse, this conception is limited in the same way movies like Tron portrayed the internet as a literal digital “information superhighway” of bits. Keywords: nine-layer metaverse, Tron, blockchain-driven, development, potential to improve .
