What is an exchange space?
A communication space will be provided for participants to mingle with each other and with the sponsors.
Sponsor booths will also be available for sponsors to attend if they can find the time and will be available to answer questions and communicate outside of the sessions.
We are using oVice from NIMARU TECHNOLOGY Corporation, a tool sponsor.
We will be explaining how to use oVice in the coming weeks.
Before we begin.
Preparation of compatible devices
First of all, you need to check which devices are supported by oVice.
oVice is compatible with the following environments, so make sure you have a compatible device.
The best device to use is Chrome (Windows/Mac).
Please try to use it in a single window (tab) when using it.
| browser | Windows | Mac | Android (mobile) | iOS (mobile) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chrome | double circle | double circle | bull's-eye | X |
| Safari | - | bull's-eye | - | circle (e.g. of friends) |
| FireFox | bull's-eye | bull's-eye | weak | weak |
| Edge. | weak | weak | X | X |

A view of the actual exchange space to be entered.
When you log in, you will see your icon in the top left corner of the screen near the "Welcome to Woo EC Fes Social Space". Please visit
to view the "Fun Ways to Use oVice" section and enjoy the interaction.
We understand that you may have some concerns, such as "I don't know how to operate"
"I don't know what to do"
.
If you need help, please contact the administrator of the Woo EC Fes icon or one of the committee members with the word [Operation] in their name. You can also contact the organizer at
If the organizer thinks that you are in trouble, we may ask you to help them.
To prevent howling, we recommend that you wear earphones if you are participating with a smart phone.

Permission to use the microphone.
In order to use Ovice, you must allow the use of a microphone.

The closer you are to them, the more clearly you can hear their voice.

The farther away you go, the quieter your voice becomes.

Further away, you won't be able to hear voices.
talk face-to-face
The small red arrows on the avatar indicate the direction of the avatar. An avatar's voice is heard more clearly when the arrow is pointing in the direction of the arrow, and your voice is heard more clearly when it is pointing in the direction of the arrow.
Because you are speaking with your back turned, your voice is slightly harder to get through.
Because we are talking to each other, our voices come through most clearly.
Various features
Mute your microphone.
Text chat.
- Click on the chat icon in the lower right corner of the screen to open the chat screen.
- You can send a message by writing a message and pressing Enter. If you want to attach a smiley face emoji, click on the smiley face emoji and a list of emoji will be displayed.

direct message
