Skittish is a virtual event space built from the lessons of the pandemic
XOXO Festival co-founder Andy Baio unveiled his newest project on Tuesday: a new platform for virtual events called Skittish.
Skittish looks like a very cute version of social spaces in video games like Second Life or VRChat but built specifically to host online events. You attend events as an adorable animal avatar, and explore the worlds created for you by clicking around with your mouse or navigating with the WASD keys on your keyboard like you might in a video game.
Here's a little tour of our work in progress. Special thanks to @simonghales for all his incredibly hard work, @mikebodge for laying the groundwork, and @cyberdees for encouraging me to apply to @GrantForTheWeb. pic.twitter.com/AOdzNvCeha
