“Emerging technology players…Kumospace…are busy transforming meetings into a more immersive experience than that flat wall of faces staring back at us.”
“Start-ups like Kumospace…recognize that while in-person interactions can't be fully replicated, they can in many respects be surpassed, or productively disrupted.”
“The goal of that is to have fun, and also to bring in the personal side between teammates who don't know that side of their team members.”
“We need to stop pretending that chat emojis equal corporate culture and a sense of community.”
“Were working on improving video communications for hybrid work. Kumospace, a video-calling start-up, structures calls so that users enter a virtual room.”
“In today's world, where plenty of people are plagued by “Zoom fatigue,” Kumospace is working to ease some of that tension.”
