Abstract

Home has significant meaning in the real world. In contrast, there's a lack of interest in homes in the Metaverse compared to other architectural spaces. This study aims to establish the concept of a home in the Metaverse based on meaning, typology, and characteristics of real-world homes. For this purpose, previous research and existing models of real- world homes were analyzed and case studies and a survey were conducted of homes in the Metaverse. As a result of the research, a model of home in the Metaverse is proposed based on physical, social, and personal models. Modifying one's dwelling, a refuge from the outside world, and self-expression/personalized space was also identified as the most significant characteristic of a home in the Metaverse. The results of this study will be helpful in future Metaverse virtual world research and development of Metaverse service platforms.

주거는 현실세계에서 중요한 의미를 가진다. 그에 비해 메타버스의 주거는 다양한 메타버스 서비스 플랫폼들에서 만들어지고 있으나 아직까지 다른 건축 유형들에 비해 관심이 부족하다. 본 연구는 주거의 의미, 유형과 특성에 기초하여 현실세계의 주거 모델을 바탕으로 메타버스 주거의 개념을 확립하고 발전 방향을 모색하고자 한다. 이를 위해 선행연구 조사, 기존 주거 모델 분석, 메타버스 주거 사례 연구 및 설문조사를 실시하였다. 또한 분석된 내용을 토대로 물리적, 사회적, 개인적 모델을 포함하는 메타버스 주거 모델을 제시하였고, 물리적 모델의 공간 꾸미기 및 피난처 특징과 개인적 모델의 자기표현 특징을 메타버스 주거를 가장 잘 나타낼 수 있는 특징으로 파악하였다. 본 연구의 결과가 향후 메타버스 가상세계 연구 및 서비스 플랫폼 개발에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.
