[Andrew Hungerford](https://secondwavedigitaltheatre.gitbook.io/flinders-phd-research-project/appendices/research-participant-information/interviewees/andrew-hungerford) specifically mentioned HapYak, which Know Theatre used to create an interactive, pre-recorded show, *The Lighthouse at the End of the World.*&#x20;

I have been in shows using Gather.town, which is a 2-D videogame-inspired meeting platform.&#x20;

I also want to mention Helen Varley Jameson’s platform, UpStage. ‘UpStage is a web-based venue for cyberformance. The software combines the different elements of cyberformance – graphical avatars, web cams, audio, images, text chat – into a single interface. The concept for UpStage was developed by Avatar Body Collision (Vicki Smith, Leena Saarinen, Karla Ptacek and Helen Varley Jamieson), a globally dispersed cyberformance troupe whose members have been experimenting with online theatrical performance since 1999’. Jameson and her collaborators are some of the pioneers of online, streaming performance which, in first wave digital theatre practice often incorporated a collaged, multimedial sensibility.
