Introduction
Gather Town is a place where you can have video and audio calls
with people based on wandering around a virtual space. You get
connected to people you are close to, based on the interaction
distance that you (and they) have set.
At right is a basic outline of the ideas, there's a more complete
and more official introduction here:
The system is under constant development and has changed in many
ways over the past few months, so any on-line introductions or
tutorials you find on-line might be out of date.
The basic ideas remain - wander around, get close to people, and
have video calls with those around you.

Basic ideas:
- Use the arrow keys to walk around;
- You can't walk through furniture;
- There are "Private Spaces"
Outside a private space
you get connected to
anyone close to you;
|
Inside a private space
you get connected to
everyone in that space;
|
- You can mute yourself and others;
Currently it only works reliably on a laptop or desktop
using Firefox or Chrome. It sort-of works on a phone,
but all you can do is move around, and video doesn't
work. It may work on a tablet.
