   Scenes from the virtual IAU GA #Astronomy2024! @futuremeetings built a 3D virtual space which could be accessed on #VR headset, regular web browser, or smartphone. This was the JAXA room that I created as one of the exhibits! It included posters on the JAXA small body missions (including Hayabusa2, MMX, SLIM), models of the spacecraft and asteroid Ryugu, a Haya2-kun mascot you could ride and a link to a scene on asteroid Ryugu, created by OmniScope.
