Launch HN: Venu (YC W21) – True-to-Life 3D Virtual Trade Shows

The beauty of Venu is networking. Our customers (event organizer) come to us because they realize that Venu provides the trade show space for attendee-avatar to walk up to a booth and talk one on one to the exhibitor's avatar. The vendor-avatar can also talk to a group of attendee-avatars in his booth.

For example, when I enter Venu from my computer, as an attendee of the event, I will not see myself since I am in in first person view, looking out. I can "walk up" (by using my "W" key to move my avatar forward) to another avatar, see that person's name tag and email above his/her head, and organically start a conversation; and, I can move my mouse over the other avatar's head to click on the email to instantaneously send him/her an email.

In the booth, 4 marketing pictures depict the vendor's latest product or solution, and a video that self plays when the attendee-avatar walks into the booth, showcasing the vendor's latest product or solution. The booth also contains a clickable link to the vendor's website or store, and a contact card with the vendor's email can be clicked on to start a follow-up email after conversing.

So, we are definitely inclusive. We are providing the virtual trade show and convention space to the event organizers. The event organizer is the one who will be inviting their vendors, customers, attendees, etc.

Thank you.
