Abstract
On the wave of a great digital revolution, virtual reality enables
immersive experience in cyberspace via various devices, gliding virtual worlds
in a dynamic multiverse. To what extent can a film focused on the multiverse be
linked to the perceptions of the Metaverse among Portuguese adults? And, more:
Are there significant differences between men's and Women's perceptions? In
this context, we aim to verify the representations of the Metaverse of each gender
and verify the importance of a film (related to the Metaverse and the multiverse)
on these representations. Embracing technological advancements is crucial for
societal progress, with films playing a significant role in conveying complex
concepts and fostering acceptance through immersive storytelling and virtual
reality. Fictional narratives, especially those enhanced by technology, can shape
attitudes and beliefs, demonstrating the transformative potential of virtual reality
and fiction. This study emphasises the relevance of gamers in understanding and
engaging with the concepts of Metaverse and multiverse.
