# Implementing the MPAI Metaverse Model Architecture
This project presents a prototype implementation of the [**MPAI Metaverse Model (MPAI-MMM)**](https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-mmm/) architecture. 

* [Introduction](#introduction)
* [Builds and Building](#builds)
* [Citation](#citation)

## Introduction
This implementation is not intended as ``just another'' alternative metaverse platform but serves three critical purposes: 
* validating the standards through practical applications;
* creating an open platform that can be offered to the community;
* acting as a source of insights and suggestions for extending the standards themselves.

## Builds and Building
The project was developed and tested using [**Unity 2022.3.x (LTS)**](https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/lts-releases?version=2021.3)
