How do you see yourself comparing to the likes of gather.town, movement.fm/spaces and other spatial virtual venue companies?

Nice plug! https://www.movement.fm/cinema is also a really dope way that gives you the ability to customize your space, provide ticketing integration, more admin tools and immersion!

Absolutely!

We supported an event with an education company that mentors students. Over the pandemic they went virtual and were interested in finding a way to have the students connect to each other more and build relationships with each other.

Zoom made this hard since only one person could talk at a time and you had to speak to 60 people. Its more akin to standing up at a hall and speaking to a crowd.

When they stepped into the space and realized that they could walk up to each other and have personal conversations the engagement was off the charts. They formed groups of 3-4 and just started talking like they would in real-life. People moved from one group to another when they wanted to meet other students and the our flew by.

Those experiences are at the core of what makes the experience special. Putting people into the same room no matter where they are!

Hello HN!

"Not another spatial audio company" - is probably what you're thinking and we're not! Haha we actually were one of the first ones to launch in this space mid last year with our mobile offering. I'm personally excited to share how we're building a very differentiated product in this new marketplace by telling you about the Cinema experience!

Here are some of the key features

Immersive spatial experience

People get louder as you get closer and quieter as you move away allowing you to replicate how we communicate in the real world. So you chat with the people next to you while watching the experience

Full integrated experience platform

Comes with a built in ticketing platform so you can organize and monetize your space as needed. Share your event page, get RSVPs and more including built in analytics.

Insane customization

You can create a 2D or 3D experiences for maximum immersion. You can even decide if you want the experience to be audio only or allow video! You can also select from a list of venues for your experience.

Watch anything together

Share your screen and watch Netflix, Twitch and any other experience you can think of while still being able to freely move around and communicate with others in the space.

We've used it to host virtual movie screenings, watch sports games and Netflix together.

Feedback and thoughts are welcomed!

Hello HN!

I created the new Movement app to be an immersive video conferencing/chat platform that more closely resembles how we interact with each other in the real world. We just launched our open beta and I wanted to share!

Features:

1. 3D and spatial audio

You can move around in 3D spaces and hear people who can close to you more than those who are far away just like real life. With zoom and others you were limited to one conversation but with Movement you can have multiple!

2. Create a virtual room and pick from one of our room types.

Make a club room, a conference room or a villa room! We support up to 17 people in a room right now but are working to soon support 100+

3. Discover other rooms and meet you people.

You can actually go into other peoples rooms (if they allow it to be public)

Excited to share! Feedback welcomed! The UI isn't perfect but we're working on it haha.
