  1. Abstract submitted for #JpGU2023 (Japan Geosciences Union Meeting)!

    I've proposed a talk entitled, "Virtually real: using virtual reality to bring people together for meetings & outreach"

    on the work we've been doing at #TFOM @futuremeetings on using virtual reality to develop a better online experience for meeting with people easily from all over the world.

  2. At @futuremeetings, one of our favourite online (2D) meeting platforms has been #GatherTown: it's cute, works well and with easy browser access. But Gather's free tier is about to drop from 25 users to 10. This isn't unreasonable (they are a company) but their pricing structure is INSANE, with $2100/year for 25 users. This completely prices out small groups (like #TFOM!). By comparison, #Spatial is $240/yr for 50 users per space, and #EngageXR is $120/year for 20 users.

  3. How does #VR go #BeyondBeingThere? You can grab a firework in your hand, light it and let your friend poke it to EXPLODE IN YOUR FACE!

    ...OK, maybe not one of the biggest use cases but... pretty funny. #DoNotTryThisAtHome

    This was on the #AltspaceVR platform, which Microsoft announced today would be shutting down in March. A huge shame, as we've used it extensively at @futuremeetings (#TFOM) for events, and it's hard to beat for easy-access, professional meets.

  4. I've been sitting here for 10 minutes trying to think of a suitable caption for this image. I got nothing. People. These are my friends. And the chilli just recorded a short piece for a conference talk. #VRChat #TFOM

  5. Curious about virtual reality as a way to meet #online?
    #TFOM (The Future of Meetings) are running a series of events on a #VR platform that is accessible both from a #headset and desktop/laptop to explore the use of #3D #virtual spaces for meetings and interactions. The final event is on November 28 at 13:00 UTC with speakers on #wikimedia and #openaccess.
