Abstract
The metaverse has emerged as an immersive and interactive virtual world that has the potential to revolutionize various industries. The use of disruptive technologies, such as blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), digital twin, internet of things (IoT), cloud, big data, and cybersecurity, has and will play a significant role in enhancing the capabilities of the metaverse. This paper provides a state-of-the-art survey on the role of disruptive technologies in the metaverse. The paper presents a taxonomy of the use of disruptive technologies in the metaverse and a comprehensive literature review on the application areas of the metaverse in education, healthcare, tourism, gaming, and smart cities. The paper compares the adoption of technologies in the metaverse and identifies current and future research directions. The paper contributes to understanding disruptive technologies’ potential in the metaverse. It provides insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to explore the opportunities and challenges of the metaverse.
