Our crowdfunder is live now! Back our project today.
The Dutch social meeting platform Mibo was launched in October 2020. The idea for Mibo came about during the COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020, when people were stuck at home. Mibo is a video chat platform that combines videoconferencing with walking around in a 3D world. It allows users to walk around with audio intensities that vary based on proximity, similar to the real world. Mibo is designed for team drinks, social mixers, and networking events.
Mibo introduced a hybrid model combining video chat with spatial, avatar‑based environments, influencing remote‑work and virtual‑event design. It helped popularize the idea that spatial presence could make video meetings more engaging and human. The platform contributed to the rise of lightweight, browser‑based virtual event tools during the remote‑work boom. Mibo’s design helped bridge the gap between traditional video calls and immersive worlds.
