The Room startup presented its brand-new 3D communication technology in a world premiere at the South By Southwest (SXSW) festival, running online until March 20. The concept aims to shake up videoconferencing by bringing participants together in a virtual, interactive room.

Helming Room is Cevat Yerli, the former video games industry CEO who co-founded Crytek (Far Cry, Crysis). The idea being developed by Room is to virtually bring together several people in one same room, no matter where they are in the world, while reproducing real-world interactions.
