Meta Keysmith is a metaverse entry design that reimagines digital access through a 3D password framework. Unlike traditional logins, it transforms authentication into an interactive spatial puzzle, requiring users to engage with their surroundings to unlock entry. Built using VR, Unreal Engine, and procedural modeling, the system generates randomized spatial challenges, ensuring both security and immersion. By integrating architectural principles, Meta Keysmith creates a layered, meaningful transition into virtual worlds, enhancing the sense of arrival and user engagement in the metaverse.
