메타버스 내 사용자 신원 증명을 위한 대체 불가능 토큰 기반 가상 아바타

초록

Anonymity in the metaverse is a property that allows users to act freely in the virtual world, but it also causes several problems, including reliability with socially interactive partners. These problems can be partially addressed by traditional methodologies, but also require a more advanced method. To address this issue, we proposed a non-fungible token (NFT)-based avatar with the user's appearance and personal information. A user study of 31 participants was also conducted to compare the proposed NFT-based avatar and traditional avatars in a socially interactive context. We found that higher interpersonal trust, higher co-presences, and positive emotional responses were formed when a user interacted with NFT-based avatars. This study has contributions in that we proposed an NFT-based virtual avatar methodology with user attributes and verified its usability in a socially interactive context.
