In short, you move around in the virtual space and your avatar's head is your webcam feed. There is also positional audio, so your position changes who you hear. User can also apparently spawn screen share windows in the sky.

Give it a try, it works and feel better than it looks. It is very similar to what you'd find in a VR chat application but it works surprisingly well from the browser with just the mouse.

(Completely unaffiliated, simply gave the demo a spin.)

I want to feel more of a connection with my coworkers too. This isn't it. This looks like something from 1990.

Love that these types of apps are getting more popular. https://rambly.app (which is similar, but 2D) completely saved https://js.la .

We held our office Christmas party on gather.town. Really neat - a 2D 90s computer game meets Zoom. Haven‘t tried them for productivity yet, but as a social experience they are significantly better than conventional video chats.

We did our office Halloween party on https://topia.io/ which is very similar. You get to build your environment using "flash"-like components.

We used https://highfidelity.com, 3d audio in a 2d space. Amazingly effective for lots of people to have quiet conversations.
