A new internet is promised as a solution, one that aims to overcome the boundaries between the real and the virtual world, merging reality and digitality--the metaverse. Technical, semantic, and organizational details are closely intertwined in this context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut what does this mean upon closer examination? What technical and technological challenges must be overcome to achieve such a merging? What economic opportunities arise--and which ones may be precluded? How can we ensure that an open and universally accessible metaverse is created? And how can we prevent a few large providers from imposing their proprietary ideas in this new metaverse? This book aims to provide answers to these questions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Peter Hoffmann\u003c\/strong\u003e, on one hand a professor of business informatics and on the other a passionate Media Computer Scientist, has been exploring for over 20 years the questions of what \"digital media\" and \"virtual worlds\" actually are and how users can interact with them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence.
