Problem
Remote collaboration tools often fail to replicate the spontaneous interactions and sense of presence found in physical offices, leading to decreased team cohesion and engagement. Traditional video conferencing can feel isolating and lacks the immersive qualities needed for effective teamwork.
Solution

Unlike conventional video calls, Katmai allows users to move freely within a photorealistic virtual space, fostering natural communication and spontaneous interactions. The platform integrates video conferencing with a real-time 3D engine, enabling team members to connect and collaborate in a shared virtual environment accessible through a standard web browser. By using real video feeds instead of avatars, Katmai aims to create a more authentic and engaging experience, bridging the gap between remote and in-person work.
