Virtual Facilitation in VR with Vive Sync - NOVEMBER 2020 VIRTUAL MEETING

The ultimate remote meeting space would feel like we're all in the same room and free to interact with ease, writing on whiteboards or handling other objects in 3D at the same time.

Successful virtual facilitation requires that we overcome the gaps in communication and missing connection when we're using flat screens and video/audio calling. Using Virtual Reality platforms designed for people to meet and interact spontaneously together can help close those gaps.

This meetup will be an opportunity to explore, investigate and play in one Virtual Reality environment designed specifically for meetings: Vive Sync.

You are invited to participate in this exploration dedicated for meeting leaders/visual facilitators to experiment and experience virtual facilitation in VR.

The meetup will be led by Dean Meyers of VizWorld, who invites you to "Be Brave and Iterate" by practicing facilitation in VR as the next step in virtual facilitation.
