For the poster session we will use the virtual platform Mozilla Hubs (https://hubs.mozilla.com). The posters will be distributed between four different virtual rooms, each room hosting five posters.
Enter a room with posters:
You can enter a room by visiting going to "enter poster room" on the indico agenda. When entering a room, you will first be directed to the lobby. Click “Join Room”. You will have to choose an avatar. Poster presenters, please choose an avatar with a black robe. Everybody else, please use an avatar with a blue robe. Please also change the name of your avatar! Poster presenters, please add "Presenter" to your name. Then click “Accept”. You can now test your sound and microphone. Afterwards click “Enter Room”.
If you only want to look, and not particpate in discussions, you can enter as a spectator.
We recommend to use Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
The information which poster is located in which room is given on the indico page.
Please note that every room can host only 30 people. If a room is full, you will not be able to enter the room. Please choose another room instead.
Navigation inside the room:
Inside the room you can navigate by using the arrows on your keyboard or the keys “W”, “A”, “S” and “D”. Turning is possible with the keys “Q” and “E” or by using your left mouse button.
To enable the flight mode, type /fly in the chat box, or press G on the desktop. You can then fly by moving your head upwards with the mouse and then moving forward. If you change the room, you will have to reactivate the flight mode.
You will notice that the voices of people become louder the closer they are.
Visit a poster:
To visit a poster, navigate to the poster and right click on the poster. Afterwards choose “view”. You are now centered with respect to the poster. By navigating left and right you can read the content of the poster. Going forward and backwards will let you zoom in and out of the poster.
Changing the room:
In order to change a room, go to the staircase sign with the caption “to Room X”. Then click “visit room”. Alternativly you may simply exit the room and rejoin another room of your choosing.
For poster presenters:
If you want a pointer to show something on your poster, click on the green “Place” button in the middle part of the menu panel in the bottom of the page. Be careful: by clicking and holding your mouse you can draw something on your poster. If you did, you can remove the drawing with “control + z”.
Technical problems:
If you run into technical problems or have further questions you can always enter the "help desk" - a zoom session which is running in parallel to the poster session, where always someone will be available to help you.
