This chapter also takes Google trend on metaverse searches into account. A systematic general review of published articles and cases from secondary sources forms the basis of this chapter. Findings suggest that the changing dynamics of social interactions in the Metaverse are on the brink of a revolution, promising transformative impacts on the retail industry and consumer behaviors.
