The VR Researchers team spent a few months studying and researching what makes a good event world that is also more. It needs to support all types of educational events including small group sessions, so there needs to be a focused area for the presentation and room for people to move off into small groups for discussions. They will discuss the challenges associated with building virtual worlds like that, something we need to learn as well.
