We are filling AltspaceVR with story this holiday season, bringing together friends and family and making new friends at a time when so many continue to be in lockdown and isolation. In social VR, you are rarely alone.
We have some wonderful stories to share with you this year including classics such as ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, also known as A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement C. Moore; The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg of a boy’s adventure or dream to travel by train to the North Pole to meet Santa; How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss; excerpts from A Christmas Carol by Dickens ready by Dr. Nancy Bixler PhD over two nights highlighting the descriptions of Dickens’s Victorian holiday time; Christmas at Red Butte by Lucy Maud Montgomery about an orphaned girl who sacrifices her family memento so her cousins will have Christmas; Holiday Storytelling with original stories by the Creative Writing Meetup members; and more.
A special event on December 22 features Ekaterina Semeniuk, aka Gingery, is a reading in Russia of the famous story of Ded Moroz & Summer, Дед Мороз и лето. She is a TESOL teacher in Moscow specializing in foreign philology, the history and development of languages, and co-team leader of the Educators in VR vLanguage Learning team project.
Educators in VR is also bringing together members from around the world to share traditional holiday stories in our special, International Storytelling Event on December 22.
There are events throughout AltspaceVR for the holidays, and other social VR Platforms as well. We’ve included a few highlights of events from the Virtual World Society and #GETSOCIAL’sWinter Wonderland festival through January featuring a variety of special guests and social events, including ice skating.
Our Production and Event Manager (among other titles), Donna McTaggart, is hosting daily Advent day readings and biblical devotionals for the holidays with her popular Live Loved Christian Devotional events, reminding us of the reason for the season.
Here is an updated list of storytelling events in AltspaceVR. Note, some events featured multiple times in a day.
Come join us in AltspaceVR. If you are new to AltspaceVR, you may join on a VR headset or in 2D on a Windows 10 or Mac desktop or laptop computer. Check out our “How to Attend Educators in VR Events” guide for details.
We’re pleased to announce that Educators in VR is a part of the support team for the Holiday Storytelling community event series in AltspaceVR this year. We need your help to fill up social VR with holiday stories, traditional and original.
This event comes at a very unique time in our history and societies. Holidays are a time for the gathering of families around food and tradition, a time when the stories of old and new are shared. Hanukah has started, which should be bringing families together around the world for the Jewish holiday. The United States is a quarantine away from Thanksgiving (2 weeks). We’re fast coming up to Advent in December, then Winter Solstice, and just over a month away from the Christmas holidays.
With so many this year isolating and far from family, we will break that isolation in social VR. Now is the time to gather together in a more intimate way than an online conference. It’s easy. A headset is appreciated but not necessary to access. AltspaceVR is now accessible with Windows 10 in the Microsoft Windows and Steam stores. It is available for the Mac in 2D. Bring your family and friends together in VR.
This is also a great opportunity to work with students of all ages to encourage them to tell or share their own holiday stories in VR.
To participate, find a holiday story that is preferably in the public domain, or share your own unique holiday story. It may be done in any language. Please state the language in the title or first line of the event description to attract an audience in that language.
Choose a template from the AltspaceVR offerings or build a world for telling the story, ensuring the Diagnostics are all green.
Instructions for creating events are found in AltspaceVR in the InfoZone or ask for help from anyone with a green (Community Helper) or gold (staff) border around their name tag.
If you, your family, your class, and/or students would like to join us in spreading the joy of storytelling for the holidays, the specifications are in the Holiday Storytelling Guide (PDF).
The following are storytelling events already set through the season in AltspaceVR. Check the event and the AltspaceVR Events Calendar for the time in your time zone.
Come join all of us by creating your own holiday storytelling event. Or bring friends to the ones you will soon find filling the AltspaceVR event calendar. We’re eager to hear your stories from wherever you are in the world and in your life. Please help us celebrate the holidays together in VR.
This free workshop will teach you about the basics of VR hygiene and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic and upcoming flu season. She will discuss detergents, hand sanitizers, face pads, UVC-light, nanotechnology, protocols, and the importance of educating your staff, clients, and/or students.
Hygiene and safety are always important to consider when using VR-headsets and controllers with multiple people. Areas that pose a high safety risk include the VR location-based entertainment industry, showcasing events, VR labs, education that uses VR, larger gatherings in general where headsets are swapped between people, and headsets that are used on a daily basis by multiple people (e.g. when training with headsets). During the COVID-19 pandemic, it became clear that current procedures would not be sufficient anymore. Therefore, updated information about best practices on how to safely use VR-headsets is provided during this workshop.
All are welcome to attend as this event is free and open-to-the-public. If you are currently registered with AltspaceVR, you may go to the event page for the VR Hygiene and Safety Workshop and RSVP. AltspaceVR will send you a reminder an hour prior to the event. You will find the event in-world under Events > My Events. For more details and information, please see our guide on attending Educators in VR events.
This workshop dives deeper into cleaning methods and methodology. VR headsets and controllers are made of strong but delicate materials. Harsh chemicals may damage the equipment. Cleaning them isn’t hard. It is just a matter of knowing what to use, when to use it, and how to use the various cleaning products and methods.
Evelien will cover:
Cleaning products for VR headsets and controllers.
Cleaning and sterilization methods and tools.
Safety and hygiene protocols and guides for staff and users.
Answer your questions and concerns on VR cleaning.
We expect this event to fill fast. Help us spread the word by sharing this with other educators, schools, and businesses. Please RSVP to ensure you receive a reminder by email prior to the event’s start.

Educators in VR er stolte af at hjælpe med opstarten af SiliconHagens nye gratis tiltag Virtuelle Undervisere og deres regelmæssige møder i AltspaceVR. Tiltaget vil introducere interessenter for de førende tiltag, forandringer og den nyeste udvikling indenfor VR i den offentlige og private sektor – Herunder uddannelse, træning, brugerinteraktion og produktionsstyring. Den specielle lanceringsbegivenhed Introduktion til SiliconHagen Denmark Education vil blive sat i vandet mandag den 27. april 2020 kl. 16.00, og er åben for alle interessenter. Arrangementet vil være på engelsk og dansk.
Vi er ivrige efter at introducere jer til det store arbejde, SiliconHagen udfører i Danmark, for at yde støtte, sparring og adgang til nye teknologier indenfor VR-brugen i uddannelse for både studerende, undervisere, ansatte og virksomheder, når skoler tilpasser sig og udbygges til at omfatte rumlige teknologier. Danmark var en af de første nationer, der igangsatte lockdown og kæmpede imod udfordringen ved at undervise virtuelt. Danmark står dog stadig med lockdown af store dele af undervisningssektoren, og de står endnu med unikke udfordringer, når eleverne vender tilbage til skolen og fortsætter med at opretholde social afstand. De har mange lektioner de kan lære os.
Som en af de førende i Danmark, tilbyder SiliconHagen innovative løsninger og applikationer af Virtual- og Augmented Reality-teknologier. De undersøger eksperimentelle teknologier, der er forbundet med datadrevet kunstig intelligens og IoT indenfor uddannelse, sundhed, bygning- og ejendomsadministration, byer og endda energistyring. Alt sammen relevant for den uddannelse, erhvervsuddannelse og industriudvikling, der er nødvendig for at imødekomme landets behov i fremtiden og opretholdelsen af landets position i verdensøkonomien.
Dette første event er det første i en række regelmæssige møder arrangeret af SiliconHagen, som mødes i AltspaceVR og samler det danske uddannelsessamfund med det formål at arbejde sammen med blikket rettet mod fremtiden. De omfavner ny teknologi og tilbyder dermed åbne diskussioner om uddannelse og teknologi nu og i fremtiden.
Educators In VR er dedikeret til at tilbyde kommende uddannelsesarrangementer, træning og workshops for undervisere og studerende med det til sigte at forberede dem på en fremtid med rumlige teknologier inden for uddannelse. Vi tilbyder ugentlige workshops i AltspaceVR og andre platforme med nøglepædagoger, undervisere og udviklere inden for VR, AR, XR og MR-teknologi samt uddannelse.
