METAVERSE INTEROPERABILITY WITH COMPOSABILITY IN HYPER-
                CONNECTED AND HYPER-PERSONALIZED VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS

                                                   Junseong Bang, ETRI


            A metaverse platform is a simulated environment in which human users can interact with computer-generated
            objects and other users. Each metaverse platform operates multiple virtual worlds according to the purpose of
            the service. In order to connect the virtual worlds of heterogeneous metaverse platforms and allow users to
            freely navigate the metaverse, it is necessary to consider interoperability.


            In the metaverse, users can be not only players, but also creators, developers, and operators. Users influence
            the entire platform beyond the use of the system. Therefore, it is necessary to look at not only interoperability
            in terms of systems, but also in terms of data, services, and the economy. For a deeper understanding of the
            metaverse,  consider  the  service  environment  by  dividing  it  into  hyper-connected  and  hyper-personalized
            virtual environments. This helps to guide potential discussions about interoperability as well as planning for
            services. Considering services in hyper-connected and hyper-personalized virtual environments, as well as
            interoperability in terms of systems, data, services, and economy will be discussed.

            In order to guarantee ethics and user rights without interfering with the free activities of users in the digital
            society  called  the  metaverse,  a  discussion  on  programmable  ethics  in  relation  to  interoperability  is  also
            included.
