* '''Hubs and Spoke''' -- Last week we launched Spoke (https://hubs.mozilla.com/spoke), a tool that lets you design and build your own personal social space for use with Hubs. Hopefully you’ve tried Hubs, our new way to get people together using Virtual Reality, and in doing so have thought about how great it’d be to construct your own personal world and equip it with whatever strikes your fancy. Spoke makes that easy, including acquiring all sorts of ready-made scenes, furnishings, animal companions, and more by adding existing 3D models from Sketchfab. There’s a great getting started [https://youtu.be/WmQKZJPhV7s video] that will have you up and running in five minutes. (Though you can spend a lot more time than that if you’d like to get creative.) Indulge yourself, and share it with your friends!
* '''View Source 2018''' -- This coming Friday (Oct 26) we’re hosting Mozilla’s fourth View Source event, which will take place in London as part of the overall week of activities associated with MozFest. View Source is an intimate, single-track conference for front-end web developers and designers, and we’re excited about the great range of speakers who’ll be there. Hopefully you already have your ticket as we’re sold out, though you can still come join us for MozFest. https://events.mozilla.org/viewsource2018.

* '''Close Conversation is the Future of Social VR''' -- Most user studies depend on participants doing their best to carry out a task designed and requested by a researcher. Our Hubs project team just published a [https://blog.mozvr.com/close-conversation-is-the-future-of-social-vr/ usability study] in which users invited to explore social virtual reality mostly ignored instructions and just started goofing off with each other once they entered the immersive space. Delightfully, that helped us see how people found that space to be natural, private, personal, and fun. We’ve begun a redesign of the Hubs experience based on these findings, which you can check out for yourself (or better yet, with a friend) at https://hubs.mozilla.com.
