ABSTRACT

In this study, we collected 2,736 government-supported project datasets from the National Science & Technology Information Service (NTIS) and 2,451 research metadata records from the Research Information Sharing Service (RISS) to analyze the status of research and government support for metaverse technology. From 2021 to 2024, the number of domestic metaverse-related projects increased by 101% annually, and the total research budget grew by 90% annually, with KRW 28.676 billion being allocated to 918 projects in 2024. The number of research papers published rose sharply from 246 in 2021 to 910 in 2022, and as of December 2024, 402 papers had been published. According to our keyword frequency analysis, we found that domestic metaverse-related research primarily focuses on immersive content and XR technology, and AI is being utilized as a supplementary tool to apply the metaverse to other industries. In addition, keywords related to digital currency trading, massive data analysis or simulation, and computer vision technology appeared with high frequency.
