Gather is a platform that allows users to create and customize their own 2D virtual spaces, acting as digital extensions of physical locations. Think of it as your own personal metaverse, where you can design offices, event halls, classrooms, or even just a place to hang out with friends.

The core idea behind Gather is to bring a sense of spatial presence and casual interaction back to online environments. Unlike traditional video conferencing tools that focus on individual screens, Gather uses a top-down perspective where avatars move around a map. When avatars are near each other, their video and audio streams automatically connect, mimicking the natural flow of conversation in a real-world setting.

This spatial audio and video functionality makes spontaneous conversations easy, reduces meeting fatigue, and fosters a stronger sense of connection and community. It's ideal for remote teams looking to replicate office serendipity, organizers hosting virtual events that feel engaging, or anyone wanting a more dynamic and interactive way to connect online.
