Method to Create a Metaverse Using Smartphone Data

Abstract

With the development of internet technology, several IT companies and users have become interested in virtual worlds, called metaverses. However, one of the main problems for a metaverse is the number of resources required to develop it. To reduce the burden of high computing power and other related resources, we propose a method that uses mobile phone functions and data to generate a personal virtual space as there is still a research gap in this area. In this study, we propose a method to intuitively generate a personal virtual space using smartphone data. We propose the development of a new type of metaverse application using the photo data saved on a smartphone. We hypothesized that using the new metaverse application induces more happiness and excitement than using the smartphone gallery application to view memorable photos. To evaluate the new metaverse application, we measured the emotional responses of users and compared the two applications. The results indicate that using the new metaverse application results in higher happiness and excitement.
