How to attend the festival virtually?

The festival will be held on Mozilla Hubs. You will be able to tour the festival locations similar to an art gallery and meet with your friends and attendees remotely via an avatar to represent yourself.

 

What if I do not have a VR Headset?

Hubs works across platforms. Got a VR headset? Awesome! If not, you can use your desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile device.
