Furthermore, the AFRL Discovery Lab uses OpenSimulator to engage the community through large and small virtual conferences. These conferences utilize OpenSimulator’s voice and audio broadcast services to give presentations and virtual demos to hundreds of conference participants in specially designed virtual regions.
