Connecting Verses & Linking Scenes

Connecting Verses allows users to navigate between different locations within the Metaverse. By linking multiple Verses together or transitioning between scenes within a project, you can create interactive multi-room environments.

Why Connect Verses?

  • Expand your virtual world by linking multiple Verses together.
  • Create multi-room environments for events, exhibitions, or story-driven experiences.
  • Design complex interactions by guiding users through different spaces dynamically.

🔹 Pro Tip: Use scene connections to create puzzle rooms, guided experiences, or virtual museum tours.

Step 1: Creating Verses

If you plan to connect multiple Verses, start by creating each Verse separately before linking them together.

How to Create a Verse:​

Create a Verse from the Editor​

  1. Open your project in XR Creator Studio.
  2. Launch your project with the ‘Deploy to Metaverse’ option.
  3. Click ‘Open on Web Browser’ to enter a Verse.
  4. Save the Verse URL for later use.

🔹 Pro Tip: Repeat this process for each Verse you want to include in your connected world.

Step 2: Linking Verses

You can connect existing Verses directly within the Metaverse interface using different linking methods.

Method 1: Adding a 2D Portal View​

A 2D portal icon lets users see a preview of the linked Verse before jumping in.

How to Add a 2D Portal View:​

  1. Open the Verse where you want to add a link.
  2. Copy the URL of the destination Verse.
  3. In the Verse Settings, expand the Advanced Settings dropdown.
  4. Paste the URL into ‘Add a portal to another Metaverse’.
  5. A 2D icon with the title and image of the linked Verse will be generated.

🔹 Best for: Quickly linking multiple Verses with a simple visual cue.

This method generates a screenshot-based portal for users to jump between Verses.

  1. Open the Verse where you want to add the link.
  2. Copy the URL of the destination Verse.
  3. Inside the current Verse, paste the URL using Ctrl/Cmd + V.
  4. The system automatically generates a preview image with a Jump link.

🔹 Best for: Providing a visual preview of the next Verse, ideal for museum galleries, storefronts, or interactive spaces.

Method 3: Uploading a Custom 3D Object as a Portal​

Use custom 3D objects (e.g., doors, teleporters, signs) as interactive portals to other Verses.

How to Add a 3D Object as a Portal:​

  1. Open the Verse where you want to add the portal.
  2. Go to the Upload Tool in the toolbar.
  3. Click ‘File’ and upload a 3D object or image.
  4. Copy the destination Verse URL.
  5. In the upload form, click ‘Advanced Options’ and paste the Verse URL.
  6. Choose between:
    • Hiding the Jump button (making the entire object clickable).
    • Keeping the Jump button visible.
  7. Click Upload.

🔹 Best for: Creating immersive, themed transitions between Verses using custom-designed portals.

Method 4: Linking Verses in XR Creator Studio​

You can also add Verse connections directly inside your XR Creator project using the Link Element.

  1. Create a new project in XR Creator Studio.
  2. Add a Link Element from the Elements panel.
  3. Position the link element where you want the portal to appear.
  4. Copy the URL of the destination Verse.
  5. Paste the URL into the ‘Link Element URL’ property.

🔹 Best for: Structured, pre-designed experiences where navigation is built into the scene.

Creating Two-Way Portals for Better Navigation​

For smooth exploration, ensure that each Verse links back to the previous one.

  • Prevent users from feeling stuck in a one-way portal.
  • Create looping navigation for persistent, connected spaces.

🔹 Pro Tip: If you create a main hub, link all Verses back to the hub to ensure easy navigation.
