Dev #05: Personal Space & Boundaries

Learning is embedded in social contexts. Learning with Figments.nrw in virtual reality is not excluded from the need to create safe spaces for these interactions. Therefore, we are designing a system for Personal Spaces that on the one hand protects our learners and on the other hand helps us to develop reactive interaction methods based on it.
