  abstract  = {The enhanced visualization and interaction with information in
               collaborative VR environments enabled by chatbots is currently
               rather limited. To fill this gap and create a concrete application
               that combines spatial and virtual concepts of hypertext systems
               based on the use of LLMs, we present VR-ParlExplorer as a system
               for virtualizing plenary debates that allows users to interact
               with virtual members of parliament through chatbots. VR-ParlExplorer
               is implemented as a Plugin for Va.Si.Li-Lab to enable immersion
               in the dynamics of communication in parliamentary debates. The
               paper describes the functionality of VR-ParlExplorer and discusses
               specifics of the use case it addresses.},
