Image of a virtual office filled with real people on video feeds
Katmai hopes to make remote work better by filling virtual offices with real people.
  • I toured a virtual 3D office created by Katmai. The company hopes to make remote work better.
  • Video feeds of workers make the virtual office feel more like a real one by letting you see others.
  • Founder and CEO Erik Braund says hanging out on webcam allows for spontaneous conversations.

I entered the lobby but didn't see the man I was supposed to be meeting.

The office was modern — with glass walls and lots of open space. And it was virtual.

Sitting at the desk in my home office, I dragged my fingers across my computer's trackpad to turn and look around the 3D space. I could see circular video feeds of real people in virtual offices.
