VR chat
Digital avatar hangout
VRChat is a social platform where users interact through virtual reality avatars in shared digital spaces.
Players create or select avatars—from humanoid to fantastical—and socialize in user-created worlds.
The platform is known for its chaotic, anything-goes culture: I spent three hours in VRChat talking to someone dressed as a anime catgirl.
