Or riding in a virtual speedboat, on your desktop&#8211;no headset needed.   Or participating in a virtual scavenger hunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navigating their colorful immersive worlds feels very much like playing a game.  Your avatar moves with WASD or keyboard arrows&#8211;and you can teleport to numerous worlds, including an art gallery, auditorium and downtown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there&#8217;s some serious learning, working and networking going on.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideas fly during regular free discussion presentations.    Participants explore new skills in workshops.   Artists exhibit their work in the virtual gallery and host events in spaces that can be a classroom, conference room or small-group circle&#8211;and that can change to any of these in a matter of minutes.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And much, much more is coming.   Including coworking spaces, and university classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sarah Segrest is both VIP of Community at Virbela Open Campus Community, and the Founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.octosmos.com\/\">Octosmos<\/a>, which she describes as &#8220;a quirky, creative consulting and services company that sees things differently&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sarah talked about her background as a photographer and a technologist, shared the story of her journey with Virbela, and offered an exciting look at what&#8217;s happening in the community!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On this edition of Over Coffee\u00ae we cover: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What first sparked Sarah&#8217;s interest in combining her creative skills with technology; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One of her favorite early creative experiences; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How she first experienced VR; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How she discovered Virbela;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A description of the Virbela Open Campus and how it works; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How a creative educator might use the platform; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Upcoming events in the Virbela Open Campus this autumn; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How you might create a community event of your own!; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A new feature that will be launching soon;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Some of the resources available; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How some participants are creating new immersive experiences; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A look at some of the educational institutions getting involved; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sarah&#8217;s vision for the future; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How you can support the Virbela Open Campus; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ways to keep the &#8220;community&#8221; spirit going; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A closer look at Octosmos; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Some of Sarah&#8217;s most &#8220;fun&#8221; creative experiences, in the Virbela Open Campus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Virbela Open Campus, almost anything is possible.
