Observations So Far:
- Conversations need anchors.
- Social norms in virtual reality are unknown.
- Experimentation may be distracting during initial sessions.
- Most people attend in non-VR.
- VR attendees have more expressive power, but may be
reluctant to use it when they are the only ones.
- Students are enthusiastic about the potential.
