Welcome to our Open Office Meetings. Meetings have a 15 min intro by one of the FTL team, including participant introductions and will be moderated. Regular Open Office session start with 30 mins demo time, which is primarily for the Sloan Foundation work, but others in the community are welcome to demo as well.
These meetings are very much open and we invite anyone who has an interest in text and/or working in XR/VR/AR to join us. Please feel free to join as many or as few sessions as you like. We also understand that sometimes it’s not possible to be there at the start or at the end and this is OK.
