Metaverse Working Group

[Ben Fineman <>]

Hi all, 

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

I am still getting up to speed with our next platform, which will be MeetinVR, so until then I suggest that we do another round with VRChat. 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. 

Metaverse Working Group Agenda

1. Welcome & Introductions 
2. Experimenting with VRChat
3. VR Collaboration Platform Rubric Development
4. VR Project Updates/Discussion
5.  Other/Announcements

Instructions to install VRChat and join the meeting:

Platform:  VRChat
Website:  https://www.vrchat.net/

1.  Go to the website and create an account OR use your Steam login to connect.

2.  Download the platform through Steam or the Oculus store.  Desktop users can use the Steam client.

3.  Once you've logged in, pull up the Menu and select the "Social" menu. 

4.  In the Social menu, search for the user "benfineman" and send me a friend request.

5.  Once I accept your friend request, you can click the "Join" button on my avatar profile (lower right corner) to teleport to the private meeting room.  See the attached photo for a screenshot. 

Thanks and I hope to see you tomorrow!

Ben
