Enjoy Virtual Market
Virtual Market 2024 Summer is an international festival in VR, where you can buy and sell all kinds of items such as avatars and 3D data. You can join the event for free on either VRChat venue or Web browser venue, the latter being developed with HIKKY's proprietary virtual space engine “Vket Cloud”.
How to enter
1. Select a Venue to Visit
Select a venue world to visit via the World List in the “Access” page. On entrance, click the “Enter” button after reading and confirming the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
If a microphone is enabled on the PC, a popup for microphone permission will appear. For multiplayer experience, please make sure to “Allow” this permission on the browser!
*If permission is blocked, other players will not appear on the world.
Once the loading is finished, you’re free to roam in the Metaverse!
You may jump to other worlds in-game as well. By selecting the “MENU” button on the top-right and selecting the “World” tab in the side-menu, the world list will open.
How to enter the same room
If you want to enter the same room with your friends, select the “Invite a friend“ button on the MENU. After opening the page, share the room’s URL by copying the invitation link, or share it on other apps. Anybody with the shared URL will be able to enter the same room on their browser.
*For full multiplayer experience, a microphone is needed to be installed beforehand. Also, the microphone needs to be permitted on the browser. If multiplayer experience does not work on the browser, please try cache-clear or switching to other browsers.
If the world does not load on clicking the shared URL, please try the room owner’s URL instead (as shown on the top URL bar in owner’s browser).

MENU
The MENU page can be opened on the top right, which includes pages for Avatar, World, Settings, etc. Here, you can do various tasks such as changing your avatar, visiting a different world, adjusting the sound volume… and more!
Choose your Avatar that will be displayed as yourself in the VR space. Please select the one you like, and enjoy the world with it! The “Nickname” in the Profile tab allows you to change your display name in the world.
Control instructions can also be checked in the Help tab located in the Settings page. (It may take a longer time to load depending on your internet connectivity.)
How to use my avatar
When you open Avatar in the settings windows, you will see two tabs: My avatar and Preset avatar. Preset avatars are ready-made avatars provided from the world, available to everyone. My avatars are owned by the player, which can only be used by the uploader/owner.
If you want to use your own avatar, or “My Avatar,” you will need to log in to Vket Account. Select “Sign up” or “Login” to open another tab and proceed using your Google, Microsoft, or Apple account. (If an account doesn’t exist, the account service will guide you to create one!)
After login, upload your avatar data to My Vket from the “Upload Avatar” button.
Not only does My Vket handle your avatar data, you can even create a new avatar using Avatar Maker within a few steps!
If you want to use your own avatar, prepare a VRM file in VRM0.x format, file size smaller than 30MB, and texture resolution in power of two (e.g. 512 * 512).
