Online vs In-Person Facilitation
VRtality can be offered online, in person or using a hybrid approach which may include some sessions face-to-face, some sessions online, and even some sessions with co-designers both online and face-to-face.
The overall structure of the co-design sessions will remain the same in both face-to-face and virtual settings. However, you will need to anticipate some differences in facilitation based on session format.
The information below will help you get started.

Feedback and reflection
Face-to-Face

Session Structure
Face-to-Face
As less time is needed to set up Sidequest in the face-to-face setting, agendas 10, 11, and 12 allow for more time to explore VR experiences.
Virtual
Agendas 10 and 11 include setting up Sidequest on co-designer headsets, fewer VR experiences will be explored during those sessions.
There are so many places we can go from here. We plan to continue to use things like CoSpaces and other apps to work with teens using codesign principles.”
