A friend of mine works in a wicked neurodiverse, geeky company. They telecommute from all over and have a virtual campus with proximity audio and rooms you can move your little character to encourage the spontaneous conversations that happen IRL. He said it really worked for him. He demoed it for me and it was adorable, pixel art, iirc.
I’ve heard and seen this sort of things before but never heard anyone who actually used it. I’m stoked to hear that it’s actually something that works for folks! In my neurodivergent brain, I think I’d get a kick out of it.
I suspect it was https://workadventu.re/ because IIRC they self-hosted–my friend showed me the mothballed, just-moved-off-of version, so he wouldn’t run into co-workers. But, I could be wrong.

The all day meeting idea sounds like hell.

Was it Gather? My team uses that, it’s great.
Update: I asked and it was Gather Town.
