Initial impressions of the Live Environment

I really like it!

So pre-covid, I was a conference junkie (I went to a lot of them). After most conferences moved online, I’ve attended a couple but they’ve mostly failed to be engaging – most were just a bunch of Zoom links on a web page.

But this Live Environment sort of replicates the spatial feel of a real multitrack conference, with breakout rooms and activities and all! Clicking around makes me feel like I’m wandering the hallways of a convention center! Plus it’s timezone agnostic so I don’t have to wake up at weird hours.

It reminds me a bit of an old online service Apple launched decades ago called eWorld.

Kudos to the organizers for adopting this spatial interface!

I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen so far. I was able to join the iTalki Japanese chat. Looking forward to connecting with everyone.
