Getting around

WASD or arrow keys to walk. Move the mouse to look; click the room to capture the mouse, Esc to release it.

Talking

Voice is on automatically and works by distance: walk up to people to hear them, walk away to leave the conversation. M mutes and unmutes. An amber ring shows over whoever is speaking.

Step away and the microphone looks after itself: hidden tab for a minute, or no input for five, and it mutes — it comes back the moment you return. Sign out (top right, Esc first to free the mouse) returns you to the door without forgetting you: your sign-in is remembered and re-entry is one click, with the wardrobe on the card.

Your avatar

U opens the wardrobe (also on the sign-in card): body and clothing, outfit colour, skin tone, hair colour and cut, age, and height from 5'6" to 6'4". Everyone in the room sees the change at once.

Enter opens text chat. Arrive mid-conversation and the last few minutes are replayed for you.

The Holotable

The hologram in the centre of the lobby is a member system, broken out into its components. Walk up and click any floating part to read what it does.

Demo stations

The three screens on the west wall each hold a tool. E opens it for you alone to try. P shares your screen onto the station for everyone in the room: walk them through your tool, take questions in chat or out loud. P again, or the browser's stop-sharing bar, ends it.

Events

The board by the lifts shows what is coming up. C opens the full calendar from anywhere. Every time is shown in your own timezone, and each event has an add-to-calendar button.

Clint, the concierge

Clint stands by the lift on every floor. Walk up and click him — or click Ask Clint (bottom-right, after Esc frees the mouse) — to open a private chat. He is an M3-backed agent grounded in the LQuorum community's collected findings on legal AI — RAG and hallucinations, local models and privilege, tooling, agent security and more — so you can talk shop as well as ask directions. He greets returning members by name, keeps track of the topics you care about, and will pass on a note or a reminder if you ask (“tell Ray the deck is ready”, “remind me to check the disclosure thread”). He shares what the group has found; he is not a lawyer and does not give advice.

LQ Chambers

E at the lift bank rides to LQ Chambers, the working floor (members only). The discussion board shows every thread, live and dormant; E at the board opens or starts one. Walk into a glass bay to join its discussion: voice narrows to the bay, and the wall shows the analyst's four artifacts — running summary, open questions, disagreements, decisions.

Tab in a bay opens the full thread panel. Enter there posts to the persistent thread. Start a line with @ask to question the analyst (it answers in the panel, never in the thread); @recap forces an artifact update. Chambers is AI-assisted and transport-encrypted — not for privileged work.

LQ Council

The Boardroom floor hosts live LQCouncil debates: the digital associates speak their rounds under the screen wall. E on a bench takes a seat; F (or clicking the screen) opens the debate full screen; E between the benches picks a debate. After a debate concludes, its argument map appears as a hologram — motion at the crown, consensus in green, live disagreements in red — click any node for the detail.

The Auditorium

Set-piece lectures and teaching. The speaker stands on the dais and presses P to put their real video call or slides on the cinema screen; everyone in the hall sees the same feed, and clicking the screen opens it full screen. E on a bench takes a seat. Enter joins the floor's questions-and-comments thread — the analyst keeps the open questions on the side board.

The Sky Garden

The lift's top stop is the open roof: a tropical terrace with no ceiling but the real London sky — the register is Kew's glasshouses and the Fenchurch Street garden, grown procedurally. The sun, cloud and rain up there are live: if it is raining over the Shard right now, it is raining on the deck, and the palms lean harder as the weather turns. Koi cruise the ponds under the lilies, ibis wheel overhead, and a planted outcrop pours its cascade into the far pond. After dark the bollard lamps come up along the paths. E on a bench takes a seat. No agenda; nothing up there is recorded or AI-assisted.

Worth knowing

The door is your LQuorum account: sign in to enter under your member name (amber nameplate).

If two of you share a physical room, one should mute or you will hear echo. Presenting shows the screen or tab you pick to everyone present. This is an early build: report anything broken to James.
