[collaborative-vr] a question

[Carla Steinberg Pfahl]

Hi Nono,

I think it's possible. Would there be any interactive components to the
sessions? That may be more appealing and provide a richer experience for
all. Amigos did something similar in 2016, but not completely devoted to
VR: https://www.amigos.org/node/3685  <https://www.amigos.org/node/3685>

Is there enough on VR to cover a full day online conference with appeal for
a wide audience? I think so but it is ambitious!

Not sure if this was helpful or not.
