SameTime 3D allows users to collaborate via voice, textchat, avatars and various meeting specific tools. Upload a presentation and invite others to join you in a virtual 3D meeting space.

Why use 3D for Meetings?


Meetings are about people getting together to do things - with 3D meetings you see all the others as avatars throughout the meeting.


Social interactions are more natural with avatars. The expressiveness of avatars help co-workers communicate in a natural and personal way that helps them get to know each other - leading to more trust and better collaboration.

Work in 3D. Organize in 3D, build in 3D, present and interact in 3D
