  The recent release of the Apple Vision Pro has reignited interest in the
metaverse, showcasing the intensified efforts of technology giants in
developing platforms and devices to facilitate its growth. As the metaverse
continues to proliferate, it is foreseeable that everyday environments will
become increasingly saturated with its presence. Consequently, uncovering links
to these metaverse items will be a crucial first step to interacting with this
new augmented world. In this paper, we address the problem of establishing
connections with virtual worlds within everyday environments, especially those
that are not readily discernible through direct visual inspection. We introduce
a vision-based approach leveraging Artcode visual markers to uncover hidden
metaverse links embedded in our ambient surroundings. This approach
progressively localises the access points to the metaverse, transitioning from
coarse to fine localisation, thus facilitating an exploratory interaction
process. Detailed experiments are conducted to study the performance of the
proposed approach, demonstrating its effectiveness in Artcode localisation and
enabling new interaction opportunities.
