I’m Saga, co-founder of Timmerse https://timmerse.com.

We are a customizable 3D immersive real-time interactions platform.The reason for not wanting to call ourself metaverse is similar to Apple, it is hard to define what it is and what it is not, Apple calls Vision Pro a spatial computing device, This is a practical product, and we hope our platform can also provide real experience to users.

Our product originates from YC W22, initially indeed inspired by [gather.town](http://gather.town/). Our engineers have a rich 3D foundation, so we hope to implement a 3D version of gather.town.

It can implement the creation of all scenarios such as virtual offices, virtual conferences, virtual campuses, art exhibitions, large parks, technology exhibitions, open day activities, skateboard shops, etc. You can even directly upload a complete large 3D model to become a new scene.

Our project is completely done by engineers, including our avatars, our animations, and our eight cherished templates. There are no product managers, no designers, all templates are built in our web editor. We have surveyed almost all online 3D editors on the market, and our goal is to provide an editing experience that surpasses all these editors.

We value the bugs and user experience issues found in scenes or editing, we have struck a balance between professional editing and user-friendliness, which allows for simple editing and seamless integration for 3D professionals familiar with Blender.

First, we imagine various scenarios for users, such as offices. We have added office whiteboards, screen sharing, office desks, and even computers that can be turned on. Private meeting rooms only allow authorized people to enter. In the meeting room, you can clap, cheer, and even engage in entertainment activities such as playing YouTube videos after the meeting ends. Perhaps it could also be applied to various industries, such as the education industry, allowing everyone to take classes in it.We later discovered that there probably shouldn't be so many presets. We should make decisions based on our own preferences and practicality. At least our team had a lot of fun in those scenes.

My favorite scenes are parks and art exhibitions. In the park, our team works together on the big stage to locate bugs, go to the pirate ship, climb mountains, and chat and dance by the beach, play the built-in piano together in the project, and play a game of "You Draw, I Guess". In the art gallery, we gain inspiration from the explanations of offline exhibitions, and immersive stereo sound effects give you an immersive feeling during the exhibition viewing process.

There are still many features that have not been introduced, such as AI NPCs, I have published an article on Medium, detailing more features. If you are interested in this product, you can further understand it by reading this article: https://medium.com/@saga_view/how-does-timmerse-enhance-team...

Because we always play with familiar people, we can relax. But I have also considered some situations, such as what would happen if unfamiliar HNs meet? We hope to eliminate this awkwardness and let everyone enjoy it. We can go to art exhibitions together to appreciate paintings and criticize together how boring these paintings are. We can also play our own desired movies or YouTube on outdoor big screens, similar to car movies. We naturally walk together and chat, hoping that strangers are not coldly popping up a dialogue box, but encounter in a natural scene.You can also use a lot of built-in actions and expressions to show that you are willing to interact with others. Others will be very happy to see you dancing!

You can play indefinitely in our templates with your friends, just send them the link, no login required. We'd love to hear your feedback.
