With the continuous evolution of XR technology, the potential for a merged reality metaverse becomes ever more tangible. The methods of inhabiting these immersive spaces are undergoing a profound transformation, shifting from the creation of entirely virtual realms to integrating virtual media that engages in direct dialogue with the architectural fabric of the physical world. This approach must address physical spaces’ rich historical context, intricate textures, and environmental data profiles. In this context, MyCMyF introduces a procedural method that engages with existing spaces through textures and geometries while also establishing a new interface with a digital ecology that overlays the urban landscape. This endeavour opens up new horizons for the convergence of physical and virtual space, fostering a dynamic and immersive metaverse that intertwines the realms of the real and the digital.
