It felt really amazing when I was alerted by a sensor in the gallery that someone was visiting it and I could teleport back to the gallery to meet them. Their location in the virtual space (which pictures they were stood in front of) said something about the pictures that they liked. I could read something about their personas from the avatar they were using (especially in conjunction with other scanning tools). My own little gallery was just one of many and other organisations and groups created much more impressive interactive environments (admittedly a lot of them seemed to be for various forms of role-play, some very unsavoury).
The promo video shows the participants in effect in a completely conventional conference room - one screen and chairs around a table. The wider space doesn't seem to contribute functionally at all - it's a pretty backdrop but doesn't display more info that contributes to the meeting. So I'm curious - could this sort of capability be used to create more dynamic interactions - or are we limited by the tech (tethered interaction by seated people) to more constrained situations? (please don't get me wrong - I'm supportive of the concept - but I'm encountering pushback from colleagues and customers who don't see the potential)
