Supplemental code and dataset for the ACM CHI 2021 paper on "Proxemics and Social Interactions in an Instrumented Virtual Reality Workshop". In this research paper we instrumented Mozilla Hubs Cloud to record where participants where during the event. From there, we measured proxemic and plotted the activity along with some semi-structured interviews. Virtual environments (VEs) can create collaborative and social spaces, which are increasingly important in the face of remote work and travel reduction. Recent advances, such as more open and widely available platforms, create new possibilities to observe and analyze interaction in VEs. Using a custom instrumented build of Mozilla Hubs to measure position and orientation, we conducted an academic workshop to facilitate a range of typical workshop activities. We analyzed social interactions during a keynote, small group breakouts, and informal networking/hallway conversations.
