Hello everyone, my name is Allen, and I'm a researcher from Simon Fraser University in Canada.

Your insights can help us understand the factors that cause motion sickness in VR and how to prevent or reduce it. If you're interested in contributing to this important research, please complete our survey here: [https://ca.research.net/r/cybersicknessstudy]. The survey will take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete. By participating, you'll have a chance to participate in a raffle to win cash prizes ranging from $10 to $100 CAD via PayPal. Please feel free to forward to anybody who could be interested in participating.

Rest assured, all responses are anonymous, and your data will be kept confidential. This study has been approved by the Simon Fraser University Research Ethics Board. Your participation is invaluable, and together, we can tackle VR motion sickness and improve the VR experience for everyone!

The survey will close on August 22nd. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me at xca114@sfu.ca or see our project website http://ispace.iat.sfu.ca/project/cybersickness-survey/. Thank you for your time and contribution.

“It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.

I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig. Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me.

So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling, on tiptoes and no luggage, not even a sponge bag, completely unencumbered.”

― Aldous Huxley , Island

So every time I tried loading up altspace (haven’t played it in over a year) it was just a black screen. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong but it took going to the reviews on the oculus store to find out it had been shut down. What the hell happened? What did I miss?

*I am aware that this platform is shutdown, however I am hoping to possibly reach some of you who have been in the social VR scene for a while and willing to chat about its life cycle, different platforms etc..*

Hello, I am a graduate student at Cornell University and I am looking for participants to take part in a research study to learn more about user experiences in social virtual reality. All participants must be 18 years or older and have at least six (6) hours of experience in social VR (e.g., Horizon Worlds, VRChat, RecRoom, Banter, Engage, etc..). Participants will take part in an interview that will last between 30 minutes and 1 hour where they will answer questions about their experiences in social VR such as avatar identity options and interactions with other social VR users. If interested please comment or DM. Looking forward to hearing from you! Take care!

I used to go to a few of them he did possibly a late show also. My favorite was the “Lingo” style show where a two teams would guess letters on a row of hidden words in order and they’d be uncovered. Anyone remember that and who did it?

EDIT: It was called Chain Reaction and the person who did it was Germany(?)
