L’identità digitale nel metaverso

Abstract

The essay analyses and explores the concept of personal identity in the light not only of the already tested digital dimension but also of a further evolution of the Internet represented by the so-called metaverse to be understood as a convergence zone of interactive virtual spaces, located in cyberspace and accessible by users through an avatar with the function of representing individual identity, where the issue of digital identity and its protection assumes particular importance. In fact, overcoming the concepts of virtual reality and augmented reality, and as an evolution of ubiquitous computing, the construction of a being in the presence through social technology takes advantage of the interoperability between worlds and platforms, in a research environment that creates and interconnects information, subjects, avatars and objects.
