Behind the scenes of every enhancement we ship

Current Version: 2.0.0

Version 1.0.0 — The Beta Launch

Virtual Station officially opens its doors. A virtual office that feels alive — a place where presence, movement, and real collaboration happen in real time.

Map Navigation

  • The foundation of the workspace: a shared map where every team member can walk, explore, and interact. Movement is not symbolic — it creates flow and presence, encouraging spontaneous encounters that mirror real-world collaboration.

Avatars with Identity

  • Avatars aren’t placeholders; they are living markers of presence. Watching teammates move through the space feels natural, replacing the flatness of “just names on a list” with a true sense of people being there.

Instant Video Calls

  • Meetings are no longer siloed in external apps. A single click connects you face-to-face directly in the workspace, making conversations immediate and contextual.

Screen Sharing

  • Teamwork happens visually. Whether presenting slides, reviewing designs, or giving demos, screen sharing brings content into the shared digital environment without breaking flow.

Integrated Chat

  • A continuous thread for quick notes, links, and follow-ups. It complements voice and video, giving teams multiple communication modes that exist in one place.

Version 1.1.0 — Smarter Interactions & Seamless Navigation

Virtual Station grows into a more natural, immersive world where navigation, presence, and interaction feel effortless.

Collision with World Objects

  • Avatars now respect the physical space — no more walking through walls or overlapping with furniture. This small change transforms the map into a realistic, structured environment that feels lived-in.

Zoom In & Out

  • Control over perspective brings freedom. Zoom out for situational awareness — see where the team is — or zoom in to focus on a small detail, desk, or discussion.

Locate Your Avatar

  • Instantly highlight yourself in the crowd. No matter how big or busy the workspace grows, you are always one click away from finding your place.

Mini-Map

  • See the bigger picture of where everyone is. A bird’s-eye view that gives clarity. Large workspaces become simple to navigate, and the positions of teammates are always visible at a glance.

Call Nearby Users

  • Conversation flows like in a real office. If someone is near you, you can “tap them on the shoulder” with a quick call — no need to scroll through lists or hunt down usernames.

Custom Status

  • Presence now carries context. “Available,” “In Focus Mode,” or “On a Break” makes intentions clear, reducing interruptions and making collaboration smoother.

Profile Avatars with Personal Images

  • Uploading a personal image personalizes the experience further — connecting digital avatars with real-world identity and making the station feel like a true workplace community.

Version 1.2.0 — Collaboration Supercharged

Collaboration expands from conversation into co-creation. Virtual Station becomes the canvas where ideas, content, and teamwork converge.

Advanced Sketchboard

  • A collaborative whiteboard with drawing, sticky notes, diagrams, and flowcharts. It’s not just digital ink — it’s a dynamic brainstorming arena where teams can map strategies, visualize workflows, and build ideas in real time.

Meeting Focus & Grid Views

  • Meetings adjust to their purpose. Focus View centers attention on a speaker or presenter. Grid View creates equal visibility for group discussions, ensuring every voice has weight.

Expanded File Sharing in Chat

  • From images and presentations to PDFs and spreadsheets, teams can exchange rich content directly inside chat. This removes the need for external file-sharing platforms and keeps collaboration unified.

Audio & Video Recording

  • Conversations turn into resources. Recordings preserve workshops, team updates, or deep-dive sessions so insights are never lost and knowledge is always accessible.

Multiple Scene Maps

  • Workspaces gain variety. Teams can choose between formal office setups, creative lounges, or casual breakout areas — tailoring the environment to the mood or type of work.

Broadcast Mode

  • One announcement, instantly heard everywhere. Leaders can deliver company-wide updates or critical information without needing everyone in the same room.

Google App Integration

  • Drive: Access, preview, and share files without switching apps.
  • Docs: Co-edit documents directly in the space, making collaboration immediate.
  • Calendar: Schedule, join, and track meetings from within the station itself. This integration turns Virtual Station into the center of daily work, not just another tab.

Version 1.3.0

With this release, Virtual Station scales to larger teams and organizations, balancing openness with control.

Private Meetings & Password-Protected Rooms

  • Sensitive discussions stay confidential. Private spaces ensure that only the right people have access to strategy sessions, HR meetings, or leadership conversations.

Quick Guest Links

  • Collaborating with clients or external partners becomes effortless. Guests can enter with a simple link, joining the space immediately without account creation or setup delays.

Invite Users with Links

  • Onboarding teammates becomes a frictionless one-click process. Share a link, and new members are instantly placed in the workspace, ready to collaborate.

Workstation Assignment

  • Everyone now has a “virtual desk.” Assigned spots build structure and familiarity, replicating the feeling of having a personal space in the office.

Admin Dashboard

  • Manage roles and permissions with clarity.
  • Assign responsibilities and oversee team structures.
  • Monitor activity and usage to understand engagement.

Version 1.4.0 — Productivity at the Core

Virtual Station evolves into a productivity engine. It doesn’t just host conversations — it actively helps teams measure, manage, and improve their work.

Dedicated Desktop Version

  • A native app that enhances speed, stability, and responsiveness. Work is uninterrupted, even outside the browser, bringing a more professional, reliable experience.

Picture-in-Picture (PiP)

  • Stay connected while multitasking. Meetings shrink into a floating video window, so you can reference documents, update slides, or browse files without losing visual connection.

App Tracker

  • A built-in tool for transparency. Teams and leaders can see which applications are being used, how time is distributed across tools, and where productivity bottlenecks may lie. This is not surveillance — it’s visibility that helps balance workloads, optimize workflows, and highlight opportunities for efficiency.

Time Tracker

  • Employees gain visibility into how they spend time, helping with personal productivity and balance.
  • Teams see project-level effort, ensuring alignment between tasks and priorities.
  • Managers understand workload distribution, preventing burnout and uncovering gaps.

Version 2.0.0 — The Intelligent Workspace

The leap into intelligence. Virtual Station transforms from a digital environment into an active collaborator. AI is embedded into workflows, helping teams think, decide, and create faster.

AI Meeting Agents

  • Summarize discussions in real time.
  • Extract and organize action items.
  • Suggest follow-ups and deadlines.
  • Provide structured meeting notes instantly after the call.

AI Brainstorming Assistant

  • Creativity is amplified. The AI listens, contributes, and refines ideas, acting as a “thinking partner” that sparks innovation and breaks through creative blocks. Whether it’s product design, strategy planning, or problem-solving, the assistant keeps energy flowing and outcomes tangible.
