## What it is
Calla is a JavaScript wrapper library for Jitsi Meet that adds spatialized audio and an RPG-style avatar map, letting users walk around a virtual room where volume scales with proximity. It powers virtual meetups where people can break into subgroups naturally, mimicking in-person conversation dynamics.

## Use cases
- host virtual meetups where attendees move around a map and hear each other based on proximity
- run virtual classrooms or conference social spaces with spatial audio
- let remote teams have casual side conversations during a call
- build a gather-town-style virtual room on top of Jitsi Meet
- add distance-based audio volume to a WebRTC video conference

## When to choose
- you want proximity-based spatial audio for group video calls on top of Jitsi
- you need an open-source, self-hosted alternative to Gather.town-style spaces
- you want to study or fork a WebRTC spatial-audio implementation

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, actively developed product - the project is archived and its demo domain has expired
- you need a production teleconferencing tool without custom development work
- you are not already running or willing to set up your own Jitsi Meet server
