* '''Firefox Reality News''' -- VR Focus, a Virtual Reality news site, published a [https://www.vrfocus.com/2019/10/oc6-interview-as-vr-grows-web-will-play-key-part-says-mozilla/ video interview] from the recent Oculus Connect 6 event with our own Lars Bergstrom, Director of Mixed reality, about the key role the web will continue to play in the growth of VR. Lars highlights trends we’re seeing with users in experiencing the web in VR, the importance of voice input, and new features coming in upcoming releases. Last week we also launched a new version of Firefox Reality for standalone headsets, focused on top bugs but also accompanied by a new Halloween-themed set of content. Happy Halloween!.

Individuals from around the world were able to not only drop in to live-streams of conference talks in a custom designed Hubs environment, but also attend virtual poster sessions - giving them an opportunity to connect directly with researchers and learn more about their work.<br/>There were a few other exciting public events in Hubs last week, for example, Hubs’ community member Max Krieger launched a VR art gallery in collaboration with @y2k_aesthetic. The environment is a throwback to late 90s and 2000 design trends, and received quite a bit of love on social media. Today's update is coming to you live from within Hubs. Every week the Hubs team hosts a screening of the project call in the Mozilla Commons. We invite any Mozilla employees interested in joining to find the link in the #ET channel on Slack - no VR headset required.
