Re: Interactive Science Meeting-platforms or ideas? #events


 

There are hundreds of Video app solutions out there. Literally. More than a hundred on my list.?

Most are brady-bunch-grids. Some are small group brady-bunch-grids.

Toucan.events is like a cocktail party

Remo.co and Airmeet are like a conference table room.?

None of them do a fish bowl process well.?

I know that the folks at Hubb.me have been doing a bit more gamification of their platform, but I don't have experience with it.

I have a company?in some of my projects now called New Game, which is working on a VR version of things:?

Perhaps a VR/Serious Games approach would be different enough...? But perhaps more complicated?than you want in terms of set up.?

I think the key issues are:
1) what things need to be personal (small group)?
2) what things need to be synchronous (Pre-load much of the work if you can)?
3) what things need to be interactive (IE, watching a synchronous broadcast is not helpful if you cant?interact)?
4) What is the outcome of the meeting that you want.
5) who needs to meet whom??


It is possible to do a 100% asynchronous version of this.?

Hi All!
I'm suddenly assisting an international group of scientists who hate Zoom to salvage a meeting they wanted to have in person.? They will use Topia (spelling?) for presenting posters, so that will help.? Any other ideas to help introverted scientists simulate an in-person conference? Of course, they don't want to be online any longer than necessary. I'm thinking if I could intrigue them with a cool platform or gadget, they might be willing to play!

Thanks in advance.? I've been on this list serve for a long while and I notice the emails about #events are from 2020. Maybe there a some new ideas now.?
