The purpose of this study is to explore the theoretical foundation of the Metaverse research and its potential applications in the field of design. In the field of design, the Metaverse can provide designers with a broader and more creative design space, enabling them to better explore and realize various design concepts and ideas. Designers can design and simulate various products and environments in the Metaverse, such as architecture, urban planning, interior design, fashion design, etc., and achieve more realistic visual and spatial experiences through virtual reality technology. However, the development of the Metaverse also faces some technological and legal challenges, such as high technical barriers, knowledge copyright issues, and information security issues. Therefore, designers and developers need to pay attention to the management of technological and legal risks, and actively apply Metaverse technology and tools to promote the development of the design discipline.
