Abstract

In this brief article I discuss the nature of the Metaverse from the perspective of the expanded experience (eXperience or XE) it can provide to its users. I then focus on the challenges, risks, and opportunities brought about by the Metaverse. I conclude with a note of caution about the possible future success or failure of this new technology.

Keywords: Augmented Experience, Augmented Reality, Extended Reality, Metaverse, Virtual Reality
