Moving

        - IF YOU GET STUCK, hit the BACKSPACE to reset your position to the Region landing point
        - or just refresh the page :D
      - once you cursor is locked in:
        - use WASD keys to move around the world.
        - your cursor will dictate your gaze
        - use SPACEBAR to JUMP
        - use SHIFT to RUN
        
      - Hit ESC key to unlock the cursor again

Chatting

      How to Chat:
      - Be sure your CURSOR IS LOCKED, and then
      - use ENTER or T to activate chat.

What to Do here?

There's nothing much here yet, but we're here everyday to fix that.
Littlebird Metaverse currently has around 5,000 admin-generated regions for users to enjoy...
but, the new Viewer doesn't yet have these linked in. Within the next few weeks, the will be linked,
and you will be able to explore much more. For now:

- you can change your name by clicking it on the top right corner of the viewer
- You may find things around you that you can interact with:
- touch things
- attach things to your avatar (food, drinks, etc)
- dance using 1-5 numbers keys, 0 to stop dancing
- change your avatar appearance (for now you'll need to teleport to Play Island 2
- sit on objects
- push objects (like balls, cubes, etc)
- hang out with other Visitors and Residents
- Administrators have a "Littlebird" surname. Other official surnames include "Mole", "Tester", and "Linden"
- teleporters and portals, poseballs and pose stands
- vehicles
- Media on a Prim, TVs, Movie Player, Music Players, Parcel Radio Controllers, etc.
- Games to play
- much much more....

If you are interested:

We do host a public meeting in the Beta Hyperport Infohub each Friday at 5PM (UTC) called Office Hours.
We welcome you to attend if you want to join the grid, get involved, or just stay informed.

Littlebird Metaverse is a CLOSED GRID SYSTEM, you have to be vouched by a Resident and all applications
are handled personally by one of our Administrators, and usually requires a simple interview.

The weekly meetup is a great place to get in on that (since we're there anyways...) :D
