Identification and ranking of obstacles to the use of Metaverse in the academic system of the world What is your opinion on the impact of metaverse on universities? What obstacles do universities face in dealing with Metaverse?

Friends, I will be happy to know your opinion on this basis
Sorry to be dismissive, but my thoughts about the metaverse is that we’ve been there before. I mean by this, the Second World phenomenon of 20 years ago. A parallel, virtual world where you could have your avatar move around, visit places, do things, buy things etcetera. It would replace emails, search engines, internet sites and more.
Big hype and you were almost a digi-phobe Neanderthal if you were a sceptic. Companies paid millions to make virtual shop fronts, all throwing away money as it turned out. Came to nothing.
Perhaps such a virtual world is attractive to a certain type of individual who does not like going out, who does not want to meet people face-to-face and would prefer to spend their life in a chair or on the couch. I take it all with a large pinch of salt.
I believe that it enhances academic achievement as a supplement to lectures.

The Metaverse can transform radically online distance higher education thanks to its affordances [1]. In an upcoming article about immersive learning design for the Metaverse [2], I too mention the ineffective digital twin campuses in virtual worlds and Second Life that Lilian Hupkens describes. This lack of agility and eventual strategic vision towards excellence in teaching and learning is one important obstacle for the effective adoption of the Metaverse in universities [3].
