Getting Started

Newer devices (laptop, phone, tablet) will perform better whenever you enter a Virtual Reality room. We typically use a laptop with a Chrome, Safari, or Firefox web browser and a mouse to experience virtual reality. For more immersive experience, use a Mozilla Hubs-compatible VR Headset.

Joining a Room

Join room

You can join a room using a URL (on a web browser). If you choose Enter on Device (this includes VR Headset), go to activereplica.link on your device’s web browser and enter the 4-digit code.

Set avatar

You can choose your avatar and preferred displayed name. Your displayed name will float above your avatar.

Microphone setup

Next, you will be asked to enable microphone access in your browser. You have the option to allow or block microphone access whenever you enter a room. If you choose the former, you will be able to mute / unmute yourself. If you choose the latter, you won’t be able to talk in the room. Confirm your choice to finish setup and enter the room!

Mute / unmute yourself

Press “M” key to mute or unmute yourself, or click the Microphone icon on the onscreen control panel at the bottom left corner.
