<p>Croquet Metaverse Web Showcase is a new WordPress block which allows people to embed a multiuser, collaborative, 3D space into a WordPress site. A WordPress author can drag images, videos, and PDF files into the block to add their content into the virtual 3D space.</p>

<p>To install the plugin, search for “Croquet Web Showcase” from your WordPress plugin installation page.</p>
<p>You will need a Multisynq API Key to use the plugin. You can create a key for free at <a href="https://multisynq.io/coder" rel="nofollow ugc">multisynq.io/coder</a>.<br />
Your API key will look something like this: <code>25kkttz5HqJ4mDycjupJA5eiF2CMhdvIgexample</code> If you already have an installation with an earlier version, you have to update the API Key.</p>
<p>While writing a new Post or Page, you can add a Croquet Metaverse Web Showcase block in the block editor, as shown in the first screenshot.</p>
<p>Open the sidebar settings for the Web Showcase block by clicking on the the gear icon at the top right corner of your editing page and clicking on the block. In the sidebar settings, you can paste your Multisynq API Key into the API Key text field.</p>
<p>By default, a new Web Showcase block contains two default assets. If you preview your Post or Page, you can see a 3D art gallery space with those two images.</p>
<p>Once you have verified that this works, you can remove the default contents within the Web Showcase block by pressing the “X” button on each row. You can drag your own image, video, and PDF assets into the block to add them. You can rearrange them in the block editor, and they will change positions in the 3D gallery.</p>

When this setting is set to “Public”, <strong>every visitor to your WordPress page will enter the same session</strong>.

Visitors can also invite others into that Showcase session using the QR code or the Invite link in the three-bar application menu.</p>
<h4>Voice Chat</h4>
<p>When this switch is enabled, and if your WordPress site uses a secure HTTPS connection, visitors to your Showcase can use Dolby.io Spatial Voice Chat to communicate with each other.</p>

w4os – OpenSimulator Web Interface

This plugin is what we needed to make our grid work, so we wrote it. We invite you to test it and evaluate it on more objective criteria.

OK, it’s not fair to rate ourselves

OK, it's not fair to rate your own extension, but it comes from a good intention. I give myself a maximum mark, not for the current status of the project, but on the intentions. And honestly, this plugin is already helping me a lot in the day-to-day management of my grid, so maybe it would be a deserved note. Or not. I invite you to test it and evaluate it on more objective criteria.

Maybe that's not fair to rate it myself.. but this plugin helps me a lot
