Is anyone out in the #vr world using the meta management system! My university is going to this to control headsets. I have several university created vr applications I need to install. How do I do that?

The VR lab I am working in is switching from Vive Pros to quest 3s with a meta admin center controlled by IT. How will that affect my day to day?

I am about to conduct a assessment of my Virtual learning Center to create a plan to increase VLC usage. We used Chatgpt to design the assessment survey. I figure I need to have about 400 people take the survey. We will start this fall. Any ideas as to how to get 400 students to take the survey?

Is it true that 70 percent of VR users get dizzy and Meta is scaling back production because headsets are bad for the eyes? Had a woman on a tour blast VR as a dying "thing" today. Sounds like a hater to me and someone misrepresenting research. What say all the VR folks on Bluesky?

I was not happy when the #WithinVR app was shuttered in lieu of a Meta directed order for the creators to focus on the #SupernaturalVR workout app. But they have my attention with my workout guru #JaneFonda on the app in #VR. Jane and I worked out on VHS! My postpartum body loved Jane!

I did a thing. I bought flooring for my converted garage and laundry plus a recliner Sofa and sleeper chair. The Beryl room's back! And, I found a perfect throw rug to bring all the colors ( teal and grey) together! Now to find wallpaper for parts of the laundry. Did I mention I'm off till December?
