What is it?

Wonder is a virtual space/platform for online networking, exhibition, workshops, and social events. Using the platform, groups can get together to create connections in a way that feels natural and energizing. The tool focuses on increasing engagement and interaction in an online event.

What is its purpose?

The primary purpose is to provide a platform for large online gatherings (500 participants) in a virtual classroom or an exhibition. The platform is designed to help its users identify commonalities through  icebreaking questions, to help guests shape the event by free movement, and to provide the opportunity for different things to happen side-by-side in the same space.

How do I use it?

The tool is a browser-based 2D virtual space and does not need a download/installation. It requires access only to a webcam and microphone using a browser (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox). You  need to go to the website of the tool and create your own space or use the link of a space shared with you. You can easily navigate the space, chat with people when you get close to them, and get into areas to chat/have discussions with other guests.
