Metaverse, which is a new universe formed by the combination of two phenomena such as virtual and real, represents one of the greatest ideals of humanity, the effort of creation, to reach its peak by combining technology and science. Starting from the First Age, philosophy, then literature and finally technoscience, the idea of the universe based on human creation has become the reality of today. In this context, humanities’ relationship with technology is parallel to human history and has an evolutionary development line. However, especially since the 1940s, with the foundations of digitalization, the construction of a new nature beyond human sensory connections has begun. Since digital transformation takes place at a dramatic rate compared to all technological transformations, technological developments in the last thirty years make the future unpredictable. The components of the metaverse universe constitute the sample of this study. The problem of the research created based on the necessity of presenting a comprehensive framework for the Metaverse universe. The research of this study was designed in a qualitative design. The research was designed as a case study and content analysis was applied. In the study, the sources of Metaverse were examined through themes, and the frequency of the relevant themes was visualized through graphics. The main finding of the study is that the 3D/Virtual Spaces theme stands out in Metaverse and keywords such as social platform, digital finance and corporate structure are dominant. In the light of this data, it has been found that the Metaverse ecosystem examined within the scope of the research is shaped around cyberspace, intellectual property and consumption.
