Presentation & Atelier by myself

• About 35 persons gathered to listen to a presentation on VR. At the end of it I gave them Cardboards and the URL of the demo http://cafe.vrlab-brussels.info/ . They connected using their own phone to a first scene to explain key concepts of VR. Then after a bit of playing around they unlocked a link (watch the moving ball behind you then look at the yellow cube) to move on to http://cafe.vrlab-brussels.info/multi/ and were able there to navigate in the same virtual space (pressing the Cardboard button to move forward, turning the head to turn).
• At least 15 managed to connect simultaneously. At least 2 of them managed to meet each other in a specific spot (next to the "statue"), recognize each other using a uniquely coloured "head" (no mirror present, has to be collaborative) and race to another element of the scene (a tree).
• Nobody installed any app or had VR hardware specific device and for half of the crowd it was their very first VR experience.
• It's done using Aframe with the firebase and universal-controls components. All the code (sic, 30 lines top) is there for you to see and tinker with.
• to move around
  • on a phone with cardboard hold the button
  • on a computer use WASD
  • on a phone or tablet hold tap
