YORB 2020, a multi-user online space

As a part of the Empire State Maker Faire 2020, ITP/IMA showcased the history behind and their latest work on YORB2020 - a multi-user, online social space.  Created in response to the quarantine conditions of COVID-19, YORB2020 attempts to provide the ITP/IMA community with a shared virtual space to hang out, collaborate and work near each other.  The latest developments include interactive media sharing via virtual projection screens.  These screens allow students to show their work, perform, and even get help debugging projects.  The following students were able to share their work live in the YORB space:
