- wizofaus 4y agoAre there any tools that actually take that metaphor more seriously, and really do present the existence of your co-workers as though they were each at their virtual desks etc.? Such that those sitting near you (your "team") can be instantly and easily communicated with while those further away require more effort? Being able to have "overheard" messages vs private "whisper" messages maybe? No idea if it would work but I'm genuinely curious. There is absolutely a different dynamic in the way communications happen when sharing the same physical space, but most of us seem to assume that dynamic couldn't be introduced for remote work with the right technology...
- intelVISA 4y agoI think I've seen something along these lines. Sounds equal parts interesting and horrifying.
