Digital transformation encompasses all the principles of people, working methods, and technology that support organizations in achieving their goals with the possibilities provided by the constantly developing information technologies that are in almost every aspect of our lives. Today, the impact of digital transformation is visible in every field with constantly developing technologies, and there is a rapid transition to digital innovations in almost all sectors. Web 3.0 and Metaverse, which are two innovations that support each other, are technological developments that can be used in many areas, and it is curious what role they will play in daily life. This study aims to present research on how the education and human-computer interaction fields can be synchronized with Metaverse technology with the impact of the digital age. In this study, the articles accessed by using the systematic analysis method were examined under the headings of subject, journal, year, research method, study group and sample, data analysis method, data collection method, field, country, conclusion, and suggestions for future studies. As a result of the research, 61 articles were found in the Web of Science database. Thus, it is aimed to obtain and discuss the results of how Metaverse technologies are reflected in the fields of education and human-computer interaction, in which direction they evolve, and how they will be reflected in future studies.
