"Mighty Coconut will soon release an Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland DLC course for Walkabout Mini Golf, and in this interview we speak with Don Carson to learn how the team translated Carroll’s surreal world into playful, navigable spaces for VR. Don Carson is the senior art director for Mighty Coconut, and has worked as a Senior Show Designer for Walt Disney Imagineering, art directing projects like Splash Mountain, Mickey’s Toontown and Blizzard Beach. His focus is bringing design principles unique to environmental storytelling to projects all over the world. This conversation covers the course’s inspirations, John Tenniel’s influence, scenes that work particularly well in VR mini golf, the design challenges of making Wonderland playable, and how the studio balances nostalgia with a fresh Mighty Coconut spin." — Press Play News

“As for social interaction, this continues to grow wave-over-wave in this survey series, and it now holds the top spot. It’s tied for the most desired VR use case among survey respondents, rivaling gaming’s traditionally-leading position. This includes any social interaction in VR. In many cases, users will meet in other synchronous experiences, such as games, to socialize.” — AR Insider

“According to a study by Stephen Hogan of the University of Bristol and Máté Antali of Széchenyi István University, published on Wednesday in the journal Royal Society Open Science, the phenomenon applies not only to golf but also to mini golf. ‘Half of golf is fun, the other half is putting,’ the authors quote golf writer Peter Dobereiner as saying, illustrating the frustration of final putts on the green. They have now developed two mechanical explanations for what golfers call a lip-out, but what has also been called a roll-out, the golfer’s dilemma, the golf ball paradox, golf balls of death and the golfer's curse.” — Yahoo

“A 2025 Cornell University study compared three avatar-based worlds with three text-based social platforms. The study found that users who communicated through avatars (those capable of gestures and expressions) received more online social support and maintained more stable relationships than users of text-based networks. The researchers explained that ‘avatar communication, in which individuals with virtual bodies can display facial expressions and gestures in a virtual space, enables nonverbal and real-time interactions with online co-presence.’” — AOL
