I often show this website to my students when I speak about how virtual environments activate our brains in much the same way as the real world

This is such sad news. Over the last few years, I've built some meaningful community-based projects on Hubs. The platform and the amazing community around it is truly incredible.

We are sad to announce that Mozilla Hubs will be shutting down on May 31, 2024. The following blog post contains important information about this development for our community and customers: https://t.co/bBzPbuAJ3B

I have made the extremely difficult decision to resign from the Processing Foundation. I am absolutely heartbroken, and have not slept well for months.

I'm extremely happy to announce that we've launched Firgrove Re-imagined as part of the Firgrove Forever exhibit, currently showing as part of #Congressh . Hosted in @MozillaHubs , I collaborated with 6 artists from the Jane-Finch community to create virtual environments. 1/

[FriendGenerator @friendgener8or]

These virtual environments showcase the creative talent and leadership of Jane & Finch. It's an ongoing work and will continue to evolve, even beyond it's showing at Congress this year. 2/

[FriendGenerator @friendgener8or]

Gonna try and work on some simple facial mocap using Faceware. Reading through their documentation and I see this 😁

[FriendGenerator @friendgener8or]

I've been working on creating virtual environments in @MozillaHubs with some community artists from the Jane & Finch area in Toronto. The project is coming together really nicely!
