Over the past decade, there has been a remarkable acceleration in the evolution of smart cities and intelligent spaces, driven by breakthroughs in technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), edge–fog–cloud computing, and machine learning (ML)/artificial intelligence (AI). As society begins to harness the full potential of these smart environments, the horizon brightens with the promise of an immersive, interconnected 3D world. The forthcoming paradigm shift in how we live, work, and interact owes much to groundbreaking innovations in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), blockchain, and digital twins (DTs). However, realizing the expansive digital vista in our daily lives is challenging. Current limitations include an incomplete integration of pivotal techniques, daunting bandwidth requirements, and the critical need for near-instantaneous data transmission, all impeding the digital VR metaverse from fully manifesting as envisioned by its proponents. This paper seeks to delve deeply into the intricacies of the immersive, interconnected 3D realm, particularly in applications demanding high levels of intelligence. Specifically, this paper introduces the microverse, a task-oriented, edge-scale, pragmatic solution for smart cities. Unlike all-encompassing metaverses, each microverse instance serves a specific task as a manageable digital twin of an individual network slice. Each microverse enables on-site/near-site data processing, information fusion, and real-time decision-making within the edge–fog–cloud computing framework. The microverse concept is verified using smart public safety surveillance (SPSS) for smart communities as a case study, demonstrating its feasibility in practical smart city applications. The aim is to stimulate discussions and inspire fresh ideas in our community, guiding us as we navigate the evolving digital landscape of smart cities to embrace the potential of the metaverse.

“…Regarding access privileges, users can specify who is permitted to enter their residences or areas, varying from completely public to invitation-only. In terms of interaction limitations, users have the flexibility to define what actions others are allowed or restricted from performing within their designated space [23]. For instance, they can restrict object manipulation or impose constraints on activities.…”

The Metaverse envisions a future where immersive online interactions become the norm. However, this vision can only be safely realized if user safety and privacy are prioritized. This review critically evaluates existing user safety and security measures within the Metaverse. We have highlighted the limited ability of existing solutions to protect against harassment, identity theft, and the misuse of personal data collected in this environment. This research comprehensively analyzes user safety and security dimensions within virtual worlds and presents a taxonomy to classify the unique threats and vulnerabilities Metaverse users may encounter. This review reveals critical gaps, including the lack of comprehensive security frameworks and balanced privacy-preserving models in virtual immersive environments. In response, we propose a novel Metaverse Security Architecture designed with Zero-Trust principles. This architecture prioritizes user control over data, identity, and experiences. It also emphasizes proactive security measures to mitigate diverse potential harms in virtual worlds. Our research highlights the critical importance of such robust, user-centric frameworks in enabling a Metaverse that is immersive, safe, and secure for all its participants.

“…Web 3.0 is not limited to browsers and screens, but is a network in a multidevice, multi-channel, and metaverse world. The Metaverse is a virtual world where a person can assume a digital identity or avatar, and live and interact in that world with other users (Rawal, Mentges, & Ahmad, 2022). Internet support and equipment like AR and VR headphones and goggles are a feature of the metaverse.…”

To this date, technology has seen massive development and, it influences the economic field. The emergence of the metaverse has become an inevitable part of this progress. It serves as a digital world, wherein everyone is able carry out a vast array of activities, including economic transactions. The emergence of digital assets, that has encouraged serious discussion, is inseparable from Islamic law. One of these digital assets is the Non-Fungible Token (NFT). This digital asset is the focus of this study, specifically on for its posibility to become material guarantees. This article employs a qualitative study and presented descriptively through the perspective of Islamic law. The result of this study is that the pledged-object (marhūn) has certain primary conditions for it to be functional, namely: it is a property, it has value, it can be traded, its asset value is clearly known, and it is actually owned by the guarantor (rāhin). The concept of marhūn as a valuable object ultimately answers that NFT is included in the marhūn category. However, since NFTs do not stand alone if the transaction currency used in the metaverse is cryptocurrencies, al-rahn transactions using NFTs become less favourable considering Cyrptocurrency is deemed to be haram.
