The idea emerged from experiments with 3D work environments (including Minecraft and Three.js prototypes) that proved too disorienting. The 2D approach caught on internally because it leverages spatial memory — you know where things are by position — and keeps related work (agent, artifact, resources) physically close together. Campus supports multiplayer collaboration with a local-first, opt-in sharing architecture, ephemeral cursor-based chat for micro-interactions, and is built with Flutter. It's free and available for macOS, with extensions (WASM-based), mobile, web, and 3D capabilities planned. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
