Overte is a virtual worlds software where you can connect and create with others. We invite you to explore the worlds created in Overte and interact with other users. You can visit friends' virtual worlds, meet people, attend events, and learn about creation in virtuality. It's an immersive and interactive experience with realistic visuals and audio.

If it's your first time using Overte, you'll start your journey in a local tutorial space by yourself, where you can experiment with the controls and learn about the Interface. When you are ready, try exploring other domains using the Explore app and socialize with people around the metaverse. If you've visited Overte before, you will return to the location where you last visited.

# Travel Between Worlds

Overte is made up of many virtual places that let you participate in activities and interact with the people around you. Many of these places are beautifully detailed worlds that are interesting to explore at any time, while others were built to host events and engage with the people around you.
