On September 16 and 17 Space Messengers brought an exhibit to PASEO 2022! We featured three exhibits: a projection which was an accumulation of the work done with students over the school year, a two headset stations where you could go into the Space Messengers VRChat world, and a station where you could talk to PhysicsAndrea, an astrophysicist from LANL making a guest appearance as an avatar in VRChat to answer all your space and cat related questions.
The VR headset stations allowed a PASEO participant to go into the Space Messengers world and experience VR for themselves. In the world was a few other scientists as well as Space Messenger Ambassadors from Brazil, Italy, Mexico, and Portugal for a participant to talk to, as well as the person in the other headset. The gameplay from each headset casted up onto the projection screens using Chromecast.
Each apprentice also got a 30 minute window to go explore PASEO. I went and checked out a few of the exhibits and got some photos of the Time Travel and Plumbing services and the cool glowing umbrella flower things. Alas, 30 minutes was not enough but I enjoyed walking around nonetheless. I had an awesome time working with the Apprentices and other Space Messenger team members during the event. Everyone was great at what they did and kept the whole thing running super smoothly the entire time.
