The recent exponential growth of metaverse technology has been instrumental in reshaping a myriad of sectors, not least digital healthcare. This comprehensive review critically examines the landscape and future applications of metaverse wearables toward immersive digital healthcare. The key technologies and advancements that have spearheaded the metamorphosis of metaverse wearables are categorized, encapsulating all‐encompassed extended reality, such as virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, and other haptic feedback systems. Moreover, the fundamentals of their deployment in assistive healthcare (especially for rehabilitation), medical and nursing education, and remote patient management and treatment are investigated. The potential benefits of integrating metaverse wearables into healthcare paradigms are multifold, encompassing improved patient prognosis, enhanced accessibility to high‐quality care, and high standards of practitioner instruction. Nevertheless, these technologies are not without their inherent challenges and untapped opportunities, which span privacy protection, data safeguarding, and innovation in artificial intelligence. In summary, future research trajectories and potential advancements to circumvent these hurdles are also discussed, further augmenting the incorporation of metaverse wearables within healthcare infrastructures in the post‐pandemic era.

“…Blockchain securely stores and shares data through a decentralized system that uses cryptography to ensure security. Transactions are verified through proof of work, which makes the whole process transparent and secure without the need for a central authority 23 . In Reference 24, the authors discussed how to protect digital contents and data of metaverse users by using blockchain technologies that have the features of decentralization, immutability, and transparency.…”

As the fusion of automotive industry and metaverse, vehicular metaverses establish a bridge between the physical space and virtual space, providing intelligent transportation services through the integration of various technologies, such as extended reality and real‐time rendering technologies, to offer immersive metaverse services for vehicular metaverse users (VMUs). In vehicular metaverses, VMUs update vehicle twins (VTs) deployed in RoadSide Units (RSUs) to obtain metaverse services. However, due to the mobility of vehicles and the limited service coverage of RSUs, VT migration is necessary to ensure continuous immersive experiences for VMUs. This process requires RSUs to contribute resources for enabling efficient migration, which leads to a resource‐trading problem between RSUs and VMUs. Moreover, a single RSU cannot support large‐scale VT migration. To this end, we propose a blockchain‐assisted game approach framework for reliable VT migration in vehicular metaverses. Based on the subject logic model, we first calculate the reputation values of RSUs considering the freshness of interaction between RSUs and VMUs. Then, a coalition game based on the reputation values of RSUs is formulated, and RSU coalitions are formed to jointly provide bandwidth resources for reliable and large‐scale VT migration. Subsequently, the RSU coalition with the highest utility is selected. Finally, to incentivize VMUs to participate in VT migration, we propose a Stackelberg model between the selected coalition and VMUs. Numerical results demonstrate the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed schemes.

Metaverse is the digital mirror of the physical world where users are connected as individual avatars. The purpose of the virtual surface where it should gather and mirror actual-time global statistics and also inquire for immersion is to link the physical and digital worlds. Users’ physical inputs may be used to train artificial intelligence (AI) systems to provide client users with highly customized offerings. This technology offers an appropriate answer in the sphere of education and training by using its process. By using Metaverse extended reality, education sector will be changed drastically. This study outlined the required principles and approaches for transforming the education sector utilizing the Metaverse. Qualitative method has been used for analyzing. In addition, ten key techniques based on Metaverse’s quality education standards have been outlined. This research will impact the whole education sector by visualizing contents, virtual campus, 3D simulation, and remote quality education which is accessible for all including underdeveloped countries. Additionally, the anticipated developments in the education industry have been highlighted. Finally, a model of classroom has been proposed using Mozilla Hubs platform, which can be used for group discussion, seminar, thesis meeting, presentation and many more which will bring changes to education system eventually. The main purpose of our research is to improve education sector using Metaverse by engaging more students from developing and under-developing countries, as well as providing more facilities and quality education.
