You can now edit objects (move, rotate, scale), duplicate and delete them, and add objects from a palette of basic shapes.
Colorful metaverse scene with an avatar, circular teleporters on the floor with their destination addresses floating above them, and a menagerie of other objects. An Edit panel is open, allowing for moving, rotating, scaling, duplicating, and deleting objects, and for adding cubes, planes, spheres, cylinders, and ramps.

You can now do some basic editing of objects in your scenes ewwb.dev
3d scene in a browser with an oblong avatar and a few other objects; there's an Edit panel showing, and one selected object is surrounded by colored handles along 3 axes for changing its scale. Rotation and movement are also available.

Teleporters are working github.com/joshmaurice/atrium
Three avatars in a scene. On the floor are several circular teleporters, which take you to other scenes when you enter (each teleporter is labeled with its destination address)

Cross-server connections are working github.com/joshmaurice/atrium
Web browser with address bar showing https://5.78.232.73.sslip.io/apps/client (a server running a fork of the Atrium metaverse interface). Username ToddOnProd is logged into the server. Within the webpage, there's a "World" bar showing https://dev.5-78-232-73.sslip.io/worlds/BevOnDev/sep28 - a public world created by a user on a different instance of this Atrium fork. ToddOnProd's avatar is in the middle of the scene; also visible are the avatars of BevOnDev and TrevOnDev.

Metaverse rhymes with fediverse in more ways than one. The metaverse is a multimodal fediverse.
Modified Atrium metaverse client in the browser: a 3D space with four oblong avatars of users connected to the same scene. The avatars and a couple other simple objects stand atop a rectangular platform with a dark background. In the top right corner is the username "josh" and a Logout button. The usernames of the other three users float above their avatars.

One of the logical next steps for Atrium seems to be enabling user data to persist across sessions. Here, with help from Deepseek Flash (via Hermes), Sonnet, etc., I’ve added a user account option: 5.78.232.73.sslip.io You can (optionally) create an account (top right corner), then […]

You can connect to that metaverse server by loading the page shown, then entering the same address into the Server box, but with https replaced by wss, and clicking Connect (On mobile, you can see others moving but apparently can't yet move yourself) 🫐

With Atrium you can run a metaverse server & see each other's avatars moving around in real time 🫐

Building general-purpose spatial interfaces, fully customizable environments in which users can access and interact more intelligently with information (and other users) anywhere in the world
<p> With tools like Unity for the more front-end aspects, and tools like MeTTa for the more back-end aspects, we can build the first generation of interfaces into the long-anticipated Metaverse, which will open up vast new possibilities for learning, collaboration, organization, etc.</p><p><br/></p><p>The burgeoning decentralized AI platform comprising SingularityNET and its related technologies represents, among other things, an information system on top of which we may begin building a radically new communication medium: the Metaverse. The potential importance of this new medium is almost indescribably immense. It's both technically conceivable and civilizationally crucial for us to implement a major upgrade to our methods of conversing, learning, and organizing. The Metaverse can play this role by expanding the dimensionality of our interactions with each other and with digitized information.</p><p><br/></p><p>Within a few months, a rudimentary but operational interface can be developed, demonstrating the basics of Metaverse functionality and thereby ensuring accelerated interest in and refinement of these tools.</p><p><br/></p><p>Phase 1:</p><p>Assemble a generalized spatial/graphical interface, using tools such as the Unity engine. Enlist existing systems such as SophiaVerse to whatever extent they prove suitable for this purpose.</p><p><br/></p><p>This will let users access and interact with any information anywhere in the Metaverse. In building this interface, one important task will be to define a “home base” – a sector of the environment that contains the user’s home directory, with personal files, settings that control the behavior of the interface, etc. The home base should always be easily accessible within the interface, with a few initial default options for how to access and organize it.</p><p><br/></p><p>Phase 2:</p><p>Using MeTTa, enable OpenCog Hyperon knowledge graphs, including the Distributed Atomspace, to populate the virtual environments from Phase 1. This will allow us to navigate through, and effect changes in, these knowledge graphs as part of a fluid 3D experience.</p><p><br/></p><p>Phase 3:</p><p>Now we'll be ready to begin working within the environment created in the previous phases, building informational structures by moving and selecting objects within the spatial environment. We can attend to tasks such as:</p><p><br/></p><p>Creating specialized interfaces for existing software functions, allowing us to perform any and all computing tasks within the Metaverse.</p><p><br/></p><p>Assigning images and 3D structures to words, concepts, mathematical and programming structures, etc., which can begin to facilitate radically new ways of communicating, wherein we exchange pictures or spatial structures rather than just words and alphanumeric characters.</p><p><br/></p><p>Building new ways of collaboratively organizing industry, social activities, and other real-world happenings.</p> <div style="clear: both;"></div>
