Abstract

Metaverse, birçok alana katkıda bulunma potansiyeline sahip ve genişletilmiş, artırılmış ve sanal gerçekliği kullanarak fiziksel dünyayı genişletme potansiyeline sahip devrim niteliğinde bir teknolojik gelişme olarak karakterize edilebilir. Bu makalede, heterotopia alanı olarak metaverse deneyiminin ritim kavramsallaştırması ile kullanıcılarının duyguları arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırıyoruz. Bir heterotopya yeri olarak nitelendirilen metaverse'de duygu temelli ritimleri ortaya çıkarmak için işbirlikçi otoetnografi yöntemini uyguladık. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları “Belirsiz Beklentilerin Ritimleri Üzerine”, “Mekân Değişiminin Ritimleri Kışkırtması: Geçiş Ritimleri”, “Metaverse Ritminin Beden ve Zihin Hareketliliğine Yansımaları”, “Ritimlerin Uyumlanması ve Alışılagelmişliğin Ortaya Çıkışı”, “Göreceli Ritim: Göritmi” ve “Ritim Akışına Kapılmanın Mekânik Zaman ve Mekândan Ayrışması” başlıklı altı duygu temelli ritmi ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bulgular, uygulayıcıların metaverse veya sanal gerçeklik için stratejiler geliştirmeleri ve metaverse olayları, ilgili duygular ve potansiyel etkileri için kilit noktaları ortaya çıkarabilecek bazı çıkarımlar sağlar.

Metaverse Experience as Heterotopia: An Autoethnography Study in the Framework of Emotion-Based Rhythmanalysis

Abstract

Metaverse can be characterized as a revolutionary technological advancement that has the potential to contribute to various areas and to extend the physical world using extended, augmented, and virtual reality. In this article, we explore the relationship between the rhythm conceptualization of the metaverse experience as heterotopia space, and its users’ emotions. We applied the collaborative autoethnography method to reveal emotion-based rhythms in metaverse characterized as a heterotopia place. The results of this study revealed six emotion-based rhythms titled “On the Rhythms of Uncertain Expectations”, “The Change of Space Provoking Rhythms: Transition Rhythms”, “Reflections of Metaverse Rhythm on Body and Mind Mobility”, “Harmonization of Rhythms and the Emergence of Customary”, “The Relativity Rhythm: Relative-rhythm” and “Dissociation of Mechanical Time and Space in the Rhythms Flow”. The findings provide some implications for practitioners to develop strategies for metaverse or virtual reality and reveal key points for metaverse events, corresponding emotions and its potential influences.
