I want to add a simple chatbox for my project in VR. On normal mode, the chatbox is available but not in VR. I just want to attach the chatbox to the right side of the character.

Hi \<@757528430702100510\> \<@350461137357242368\>, this can be achieved via 3d widgets, it’s not very complicated all you need is to add the chat widget (named chat\_wb in the plugin files) on a 3d widget that is spawned in the scene.

You can also build your own widget from scratch using the Convai Chatbot events:

- On Transcription Received
- On Text Received
