Project Summary

Problem Identified

How can we replicate in-person and spontaneous interactions virtually to drive empathy, connection, and collaboration across locations?

Design Innovation

Our solution is to create a platform called Zapple to replicate in-person interaction virtually which stimulates a professional and personal environment, encouraging spontaneous conversations and connections whilst stimulating a virtual world environment enabling people to not only message their connections but also video call, play games together, watch movies, listen to music, etc all in real-time to help get to know one another - cementing relationships and at the same time provide a getaway from fatigue and apathy.

Impact On The Society

Zapple is an attempt to invite the outdoors in! This platform promises to deliver in-person elements of a conversation and spontaneous interactions to keep the users ardent and reconcile with the remote work culture. Participating in leisure activities like playing games, watching movies, etc with your friends will sort of add a touch of outdoor excursion that went missing in our lives due to the lockdown.
