Abstract

The word Metaverse, which is described as the fictional universe, is formed by the combination of the words "meta" and "universe". This concept can also be expressed as a parallel universe where all digital media are integrated, in other words, everything that can be done on the internet is gathered on a single platform. In this study, detailed information about the concept of metaverse is given and evaluations are made about its future. In addition, detailed information about the relationship of spatial information with the metaverse, the place of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) concepts in this process, territory/land purchase/sale in the metaverse environment, and the relationship of the metaverse with GIS are presented.
