WHAT IS THE VERBIVOCOVIRTUAL LOUNGE? It is a 3D environment created by Soraya Braz and Fabio FON to pay homage to the recent visual poetry history in Brazil and others countries from celebrated authors. The lounge features transcreations based on significant works; the white asterisks indicate links where you can learn more about the honored poem and its author. Beyond being a tribute, the lounge also serves as a meeting space. Built on the Mozilla Hubs platform, it allows the audience and creators from the VerbivocoVirtual Pavilion to come together using avatars – and even webcams if they desire.
HOW DO I ACCESS THE LOUNGE? To enter the 3D environment, click on the button above (“LOUNGE ON MOZILLA HUBS”). You will be directed to an external site, the Mozilla Hubs platform, which hosts our lounge. Once on this external site, click “Join Room” and choose a name and avatar (your representation in that environment). You can also grant access to your microphone if you wish to speak with others. You can use a computer (recommended) or mobile phones (in this case, it’s best to use Mozilla Firefox).
HOW DO I NAVIGATE IN THE LOUNGE? Using a computer, you can use the keyboard and mouse to move around the environment.
In the sharing options, you can display your webcam image or your screen while in the environment. Some avatars allow you to use your webcam image (avatar webcam).
