Abstract

Metaverse is the next generation of Internet-based applications and social forms that use various cutting-edge technologies like virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D holographic avatars, video, and cloud computing. It is also defined as a virtual parallel life, that is, a digital twin of real life, utilizing physical, augmented, and virtual reality to provide a metaphor of real life for its avatars in a shared virtual environment through the Internet.

Introduction

Metaverse is a virtual world that allows users to interact with each other or objects in real-time using their avatars by breaking down all real-world physical obstacles. It has been applied to various domains, such as video games, art, retail, education, healthcare, manufacturing, and social.

Metaverse is a virtual environment that requires people to possess soft skills that enable them to connect with others, collaborate on tasks, resolve conflicts, manage emotions, and explore virtual environments. This study aims to provide a conceptual framework for understanding the role of soft skills in the metaverse, which is composed of three primary components: personal qualities, the metaverse, and the connection between the two. The study contends that soft skills are essential for success in the metaverse environment.
