A VR social meeting space that uses a 2D video game styled virtual convention space to encourage casual interactions. Has features for text and video interactions, programme and exhibit spaces. Used by Eastercon [[ConFusion (Eastercon)]] it was badly received. Its high cost forced the membership fee up, per-hour costing precluded testing beforehand, it had [[virtual access|access]] issues with small fonts, the colocated group chats were inferior to [[Zoom]], it didn't work on many platforms and while the specially commissioned convention layout looked attractive, it enforced a video game walking model.

An ambitious but deeply flawed system.
