The Reality of Applying Metaverse Technology in the Information Institutions Sector: An Analytical Study

Emerging technologies, such as metaverse technology, have become a crucial tool in the information revolution, providing users with easy access to services and places through simulating the physical world. This technology offers a platform for users to transcend time and place, providing new interactive services that achieve transparency, efficiency, and reduce costs. This study aims to identify the reality of applying metaverse technology in the information institutions sector. It relied on the documentary approach by analyzing a set of related Arab and foreign studiesstudies. It also used the SWOT analysis method to evaluate the strengths, address the weaknesses, identify the opportunities and the challenges. The results showed that Metaverse technology has proven successful in providing real-time services with minimal effort for users and workers. However, the use of this technology is still in its early stages, facing challenges such as privacy and security concerns and a lack of information awareness about its benefits. The study's importance derives from the importance of the topic itself focusing on reviewing the experience of using Metaverse technology in the information institutions sector. The study recommends a future vision for investing in metaverse technology in the sector and preparing global regulatory legislation to govern the use of metaverse technology and its supporting technologies.
