Join us for a virtual hangout! General Session Move off the Zoom grid and join us for a virtual hangout that is really a lot of fun! Enter a virtual world where you walk around freely with your robot avatar. Just like in real life--at least most of the time--you decide where to go, whom to talk to, and what groups to join. People closer to you will be louder and you can join them in conversations while still hearing the background buzz. You can also goof around with interactive stuff that makes socializing even more fun, from picking up props to playing games. Give it a try and see--it'll be a welcome change of pace.
