Nathan - [Matchmaking/Games] little info box for boring details, color for vibe or area of interest, automatically generated mini-game based on interaction of colors (blue - philosophical discussion matches green - playful jokes = the take it to the trippy limit game)

BenG [Matchmaking/Feedback] -Avatar dressing up- so as to make a conversation piece.

After a 5 second silence pop up- ‘Either your connection is down or there is deep thought going on. Awesome!”

Create posters- like twitter feeds and connections to other social media?- also as conversation pieces.

Challenge to pokemon style battle where you can send questions, if you run away instead of answering you get muted for X seconds

Mute and Deafen feature, not for this but a fun idea, maybe also some way to put out a distance restraint so people you dont like need to be far away.

A pop-up notification ‘Marcus is making eye-contact with you.’ Requires the eye contact feature. It could amplify the person you’re ‘looking at’ and soften other audio.

Profile that appears on side when a person is clicked. Include twitter etc. connections, should be limited.

People who speak less get bigger, raising their status, maybe a timer like jitsi on everyone.

• Some kind of button that makes a set of small rooms for different ways that people feel like being with each other. A SiIllyRoom, a CrazyRoom, a VulnerableRoom, a ComplimentsOnlyRoom
• You get bigger if people high-five you and smaller if people punch you

Freyja: [Shape]

• Create a ‘lobby’; a default landing space (like in Second Life) where you know that anyone who is there has just arrived. There can be intro text in the lobby (like a message pinned by the host) which can provide a context for the event/space. And, like in a real event where you have a ‘greeter’ by the door, you can have someone who hangs out there and is the first person people talk to, and who perhaps can recommend others to talk to. Better for events where you anticipate 7+ people.
• Also make default ‘labels’ for each room

Bilal Ghalib- [Matchmaking]

• You get tattoos except you can only get them if other people give them to you
• It would be cool to have a “now” page - somehow a way to describe what’s important to you today. Perhaps weather on top of your head representing your nowness.

• Decorate your avatar (clothes, hats, color, trinkets that follow you around) — but certain items actually say something about you or your interests
  • Pros:
    • Quickly and visually discover interests — the quicker you can find common ground the better
    • More immediate than an info card for example since you don’t have to delve down into a hidden layer of information
  • Cons:
    • Prescriptive avatar customization, not much choice
    • People decorate how they want and does not reflect interests or personality
      • Though by the time you discover this, you have already started a conversation and perhaps it will not matter… Merely the idea that how you decorate yourself reflects something about you could be enough to help facilitate introductions

Alex [Interdependency/Games]

• Games
• Maybe deciding how to decorate a room. Or a scavenger hunt where you want to collect different colors, like talk to a purple person and you get to completion.
• One person is chosen to be bigger and you all ask that person questions.

Daniel [Pretext]

• Creating a purpose for being there
