Abstract

The model and quality of housing, the neighbourhood in which one lives, and community social structures all affect one’s physical and mental health. The exploratory research conducts a quantitative evaluation of human’s attitudes towards different aspects of extended realities, metaverse and parallel universes. all Grounded on semi- structured interviews with 29 number of complete responses, the
researcher assessed how the respondents perceive dealing and investing in intangible realities. Thematic analysis was around the “Attitude towards Extra-Natural Phenomena/ Extended Reality and the Metaverse”. Respondents answered how the emerging terrain affected their productivity, mental health, physical health, and overall wellbeing. This study questions whether the way to wellbeing is to proceed in the road of virtuality and unreal environments and to which extent people are willing to invest in extended realities (XR) and met averse, SETI and METI, hence creating environments in these dimensions, to reach growth and human evolution.
