The Palace software lets you chat within two dimensional virtual environments such as auditoriums, beaches, clubs, etc. In these online visual places, you can move from one room to the next and use visual cues to keep track of multiple conversations. Objects in rooms can be linked to existing Web pages, email forms, and bulletin boards or animated to move and make sounds. Participants use avatars photos or any unique graphics to represent themselves online, and conversations appear in word balloons next to them.
