Hi all, in our last Metaverse Working Group meeting we discussed setting aside a time monthly to try collaborating in different virtual reality platforms. The eventual goal is to find one that may be suitable to use for our regular Metaverse Working Group meetings, but for now we recognize that these technologies are still fairly raw and will require tinkering.

Our first “VR Jam” will be tomorrow at 2pm-3pm ET in the Engage Education Platform: http://immersivevreducation.com/engage-education-platform/

This platform is Windows only. It supports but does not require Oculus Rift and HTC Vive - you can also join using a traditional monitor/keyboard/mouse. It is available on Steam and Oculus Home but does not appear to be available as a standalone download. 

Instructions to join:

  • Launch the application
  • (Optional) Configure your profile and avatar in “My Profile”
  • Select “Join a Live Lesson”
  • Select “MyServer” from the list. NOTE: The platform does not appear to be working for custom meeting names and meeting passwords, so if there are more than one “MyServer” keep trying until you find the right one. If possible I will use the name “Metaverse” and the password “Internet2” but this was not working when I tested.

That’s it! If you have time I might encourage you to log into the platform and do a demo lesson, there is one with Neil deGrasse Tyson that I enjoyed.

Hope to see some of you in VR tomorrow.

Best,
Ben
