AltspaceVR was a social VR platform that was founded in 2013 by Eric Romo[1] and launched its initial product in May 2015.
The platform was regularly home to a wide variety of live virtual events from VR church[4] and LGBTQI+ meetups[5] to large business conferences and magic shows.
[7][8] AltspaceVR was organised in spaces called "worlds", which could be found and accessed via a floating menu or via in-world "teleporters".
Some large worlds, such as the "Campfire", were built and maintained by official developers as places for users to meet and interact.
Other menus listed current and planned "events", which took place inside official or user-generated worlds.
