Heh, it looks like a game. Gauntlet or something. Strange model to deliberately capture the office layout even.

It looks so much like a game of "Cluedo" I'd be tempted to try a murder to see how it worked. "It was Thad, in Patrick's office, with the pistol"

Yeah some issues with the graphics causing credibility problems. But that's exactly what makes the presence work so well - "Patrick is in Thad's office, and they're both yelling!" Try that with any other tool

But part of the advantage of remote-work is that you can be in two or more conversations at once, that you can be in two or more 'places' at once.

No?

Seems odd to use a location metaphor, when online you can be in more than one place at a time.

Chatting works that way. But your video and audio don't.
