Metaverse Working Group

["Collins, Chris (collicn)" <>]

Hi all,

Just a friendly reminder to join the Metaverse Working Group's monthly meeting tomorrow at 3:00 PM EST.  

We will be meeting using the VRChat platform this month, and you can find login and connection directions below.  Note that, if this is your first time using VRChat, you may need additional time before the meeting to download the platform updates and assets. Also, VRChat allows both desktop and VR users to join (although I think PC only!), so you can join the meeting even if you don't have a VR system.  Unfortunately I won't be able to attend tomorrow, but Ben Fineman will be the host.

1. Welcome & Introductions 

2. Experimenting with VRChat

3. Global Summit MWG Meeting Report
