- Engage Education Platform: http://immersivevreducation.com/engage-education-platform/
  This platform is Windows only. It supports but does not require Oculus Rift and HTC Vive - you can also join using a traditional monitor/keyboard/mouse. It is available on Steam and Oculus Home but does not appear to be available as a standalone download.
  Instructions to join:
  - Launch the application
  - (Optional) Configure your profile and avatar in “My Profile”
  - Select “Join a Live Lesson”
  - Select “MyServer” from the list. NOTE: The platform does not appear to be working for custom meeting names and meeting passwords, so if there are more than one “MyServer” keep trying until you find the right one. If possible I will use the name “Metaverse” and the password “Internet2” but this was not working when I tested.
