Virtual poster sessions in GatherTown

General setup

Our two virtual poster sessions take place in Gather.town. We will update the link to the conference once we have finalized the preparation. General information about GatherTown can be found in this video.

We have set up four rooms for the posters, each accessible from the Main room:

  • Wednesday Posters 1-32
  • Wednesday Posters 33-64
  • Thursday Posters 1-32
  • Thursday Posters 33-64

Here below is how the Main room looks like, with the doors to each of these four rooms.

Each poster room contains 32 poster stands. We will update poster session information when the conference schedule is finalized.

Assignment of papers to poster session -TBD

Please check back to find information on how to access a specific poster once the conference schedule is finalized.

Key Features of Gather

  1. Navigation: To reach a specific island in the virtual space, attendees can walk to the island.
  2. Private Areas: The shaded areas are called private areas. Anyone in these areas can see and hear each other's audio and video. However, those outside the private area cannot see or hear the videos of the people within it.
  3. Viewing Posters: When stopping at a poster, video chat activates only if one is within the designated area of the poster. Attendees can view the poster full-screen by pressing the "x" key on their keyboard.
  4. Presenter Mode: While viewing the full-screen image, attendees can select the Presenter Mode icon on the right of the image. This allows others who are also viewing the image in full-screen to see where you click on the screen.

Instructions for Presenters

The online chairs will upload all the virtual posters that you have submitted at the poster location assigned to each paper, so there is no need for the presenters to upload anything. We suggest that you test Gathertown before the poster session to check that everything works.
