Introduction to MUD's Metaverse

Entering a Verse​

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

Once you enter, you'll find yourself in the Verse lobby, where you can catch a glimpse of the Verse's activities and interact with others using text chat.

Depending on your device type, follow the steps below to enter the main Verse:

Desktop Users:

  • Click "Join Verse" choose an avatar, a name and enable your microphone for communication.

VR Headset or Mobile Device Users:

  • Take a look at the instructions in the Metaverse documentation.

Observe and Move Around​

On desktop, navigate your surroundings using the WASD or arrow keys, and teleport to different locations by right-clicking. Adjust your view with the Q and E keys or by holding down and dragging the left mouse button.

For VR and mobile controls, consult our list of MUD controls.

Discover the User Interface​

Get acquainted with the user interface, where you can mute your microphone, capture photos, share your screen, create objects, and more. This guide will introduce you to the basics, while the MUD Features section provides in-depth details.

MUD User Interface

Import Media​

You can import 3D models, images, videos and PDFs from all over the web including SketchFab, Google Poly, SoundCloud, Vimeo, Twitch, Crunchyroll, and more. You can also store media for later use in the metaverse by opening the Tools modal in the user dropdown. You can find more in-depth instructions on how to use our Tools modal in the metaverse documentation.

For now, try searching for content in the Community Media (you can open it in the more button or in the user menu).

You can also add media by dragging and dropping a file into the Verse, or by copying (ctrl+c or command+c) a URL and then pasting it in the Verse (ctrl+v or command+v).

Object Menus​

You will find a multitude of objects, videos, and drawings in the metaverse. To efficiently manage these elements, simply hover your cursor over an object and press the space bar or tab key on desktop to access the controls. For a more detailed overview of VR and mobile actions, consult our dedicated MUD Controls documentation

Avatar Menus​

You can open up a menu on users just like on objects. This lets you control their volume or hide them from your view. If you hold the status of a Verse owner or moderator, you wield additional privileges, including the ability to mute a user's microphone or temporarily remove them from the Verse.
