Exploring & Navigating Verses

You have the option to either create your own Verse or join an existing one.
Our Metaverse is accessible through a web browser, making it compatible with various devices, including desktops, mobile devices, and VR headsets.

Creating a Verse​

You can create a new Verse using XR Creator Studio:

  1. Open XR Creator Studio and start a new project.
  2. Build your scene by adding 3D objects, images, and interactive elements.
  3. Click Launch and select Deploy to Metaverse.
  4. Once published, a unique URL for the Verse is generated.

🔹 Note: Explore our dedicated section to learn more about creating verses in the XRHUB

Joining an Existing Verse​

To enter an existing Verse, you can:

Upon joining, you’ll enter the Verse Lobby, where you can:

  • Observe ongoing activities
  • Chat with others
  • Configure your microphone and speakers settings before fully entering the space

Joining on Desktop or Mobile​

  2. Choose an avatar and adjust your microphone settings.

2D Navigation (Desktop Mode)​

Navigating a Verse in 2D mode is straightforward, similar to a traditional online multiplayer experience.

  • Hold Shift while moving to increase speed
  • Use the Space Bar to open menus
  • Press G to toggle flying mode

Joining a Verse in VR​

If you (or someone else) has already accessed a Verse on a desktop or smartphone, you can use the "Enter on VR" option in the lobby to generate a numeric code.

This simplifies access from standalone VR headsets like Oculus Quest, Oculus Go, or Samsung Gear VR.

Steps to Join a Verse in VR with a Numeric Code​

First: Open the Verse on Desktop or Smartphone​

  1. Open the Verse URL in a browser.
  2. Before entering, choose "Enter on VR".
  3. A modal window will appear with a numeric code and short URL.

Second: On Your Oculus or Standalone VR Device​

  1. Open your browser and go to verse.mud.doundation/link (or the short URL shown in the modal).
  2. Enter the numeric code from the modal.
  3. You will be redirected to the Verse in the Oculus Browser.

🔹 Pro Tip: If you're experiencing issues, ensure your VR browser supports WebXR and your headset firmware is updated.
