    Abstract: The invention is a method and system for hosting a metaverse environment within a webpage and navigating within that environment. The metaverse is established by embedding an interface in a web page, then creating an avatar when a mouse, under control of an environment user, moves over the interface. A virtual reality street, serving as the central point of the environment, and associated with a particular URL, is established and placed on the bottom of a webpage. The street is customized with a plurality of facades, and the avatar is caused, by the user, to move up or down the street. The movement of the avatar allows it to interact with the facades or activities that are built into the street. Navigation of the avatar to the end of the street causes the avatar to select from among one or more choices for selecting a next web page.
