On Sunday, the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) held a "virtual reality" convocation ceremony for over 2,000 graduates. This wasn't your normal virtual occasion: The university created avatars for each student, faculty member, and speaker.

In a statement, the university said it didn't want to deprive students of the "pride" of graduating because of the pandemic, so it created the virtual effort.
"Providing a virtual reality experience to all our graduates needed not only highly innovative steps but also a tremendous effort by our professors and staff," Prof. Subhasis Chaudhuri, the director of IIT Bombay, said. "They did it for the students. Hopefully this will enthuse our graduates as well as other engineers in the country to think big and think innovatively.”
Twitter highlighted the occasion in a Twitter moment, and IIT Bombay broadcasted the whole thing on Indian television channels, Facebook Live, and YouTube.
