I knew a guy that worked at a company that had something like that. You had to walk your snes-style sprite around the virtual office. If you walked up to someone's avatar you could start a meeting. You could move your guy around to indicate you were at lunch or working or whatever.

Seems extremely wasteful to me but a lot of people there liked it.

You say wasteful, I'd think very efficient. If it's just enough fun to get everyone in an office to engage and use it, a manager now has an accurate tool to check who is where and what they're doing. Plus if it actually makes anyone actually have a little fun with it and have a better day, bonus wins.

Millions of dollars spent to replace status messages and what slack/teams already do. There's no mechanism to keep it in sync with reality so it's not even especially accurate.

A real stretch to call that efficient.

So you're saying we need to automate the avatar and use surveillance to do so! And maybe even AI why not
