User experience (UX) in metaverse: realities and challenges

Abstract

User experience (UX) design is an interdisciplinary field that combines elements of psychology, computer science, and design. It is concerned with how a product or service is perceived by its users and how it meets their needs. UX designers work to ensure that a product or service is easy to use, efficient, and satisfying for the person using it. The purpose of this article is to describe some implications of User Experience (UX) in the metaverse. UX is relevant in the metaverse because it determines how people interact with and perceive virtual environments. This will involve working with a variety of stakeholders, including developers, designers, and users, to understand the goals and needs of the virtual environment and to create user experiences that are intuitive, engaging, and satisfying. The role of the UX professional in the metaverse will involve applying traditional UX design principles and techniques to the unique challenges and opportunities presented by virtual environments. There are several ways in which UX professionals can insert themselves into working in the metaverse. First of all, work with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) companies, VR and AR companies are at the forefront of developing metaverse technologies, and they often hire UX professionals to help design and improve their products. UX professionals in the metaverse must be able to design for immersive and interactive environments that can be difficult to predict and control.
