Abstract

The Metaverse is the subject of much interest, speculation, publicity, and investment. The fact that a global giant such as Facebook has changed its brand identity to “Meta” speaks volumes about how the Metaverse is seen as a massive opportunity for many different types of applications, primarily seeking to develop the Metaverse as an engaging and profitable virtual environment where people can interact, socialize, do business and be entertained. It seems to be true that there has never been a better and more appropriate time in human history for a potential solution to the most pressing global challenges humanity has ever faced, such as pandemics (which limit human to human contact) and climate change (restricting the cost of travel). This article looks at the development of Metaverse technologies over the last 20 years up to the present time and explores the use of the Metaverse as a platform for digital therapeutics.
