The advent of the metaverse heralds a transformative paradigm in human and enterprise interactions, fostering unprecedented modes of communication, collaboration, and commerce. By bridging physical and virtual realms, it creates a persistent, shared digital ecosystem that redefines user experiences – ranging from social connectivity to immersive economic activities. As these online environments expand, the amount of data being produced in them which is generally referred to as big data, also increases. The current survey aims to explore the landscape of big data in the metaverse, emphasizing its contribution to show richer experiences, help to choose from possible actions and define how these spaces will evolve. We also investigate the existing issues, some technological changes and the perspective of screenshots on big data in the metaverse.
