ep35. My VR Journey - West Park Park Bench Podcast

The Purple COG Monster (PCM) Podcast

I'm going to share with you the journey of my virtual reality communities.

Although I am not the best audience member, I'm not the best social practitioner, what I am, I think very good at is holding space and observing the world and creating space that I hope that people can come to the first time it will be overwhelming there's no denying that, but they can come back and feel that they're where they left off.

Cybersalon and Cyberia moved from AltSpace in to Spatial. We have two spaces we have a public lounge, which is 22 Ideas About the Future. And then there are portals that bring you to Cyberia. So there is there is an airlock between the public space and the private space.

Old Skool VR to virtual cafe extended spaces for the hybrid community curious.
