Field Note № 01
A small studio
with a far horizon.
We are KBCODE Poland — a team of IT professionals creating a product that will change the world. — Studio manifesto, 2024
Founded in Kraków, KBCODE practises at the intersection of telepresence, cartography, and play — building software that lets one person stand in for another, anywhere on the map. Our specialisations are distributed systems, low-latency video, and the human-machine interfaces that bind them together.
The studio is small by intent. We prefer the discipline of a fewer-things-better-made philosophy: one inaugural product, refined over years, before any second route is charted.

Field Note № 02 — The Instrument
Avatar Platform.
Explore the world like never before.
Avatar Platform is a marketplace and live-streaming network that joins two parties separated by thousands of kilometres into a single, shared moment. An Operator opens the world atlas, books an Avatar — a real human on the ground — and is then carried through a Tōkyō alley, a Patagonian fjord, or the lobby of a museum after closing hours, in real time, through their phone.
It is travel without the borders, the visas, the carbon, or the budget. It is a way to be present in places one's own body cannot reach.
-
I.
The Operator
Directs the journey. Sees what the Avatar sees. Hears what the Avatar hears. Steers gaze with the right thumb, locomotion with the left.
-
II.
The Avatar
The body on location, equipped, vetted, paid by the platform. Receives the Operator's prompts; relays scene, sound, and signage.
-
III.
The Platform
Secure two-way wallet, AI translation, sub-second video relay, route planning, vetting and dispute. The unseen apparatus binding the pair.
Field Note № 03 — The Apparatus
Inside the kit.
Six instruments, one expedition.
-
01
Interactive world atlas
A filterable globe of avatars — by language, specialism, rating, and current availability. Pre-book your guide weeks ahead, or commission one in the next quarter-hour.
-
02
Real-time HD relay
Sub-second video and binaural audio engineered for the long way around. The Avatar's senses become yours, with a latency you stop noticing.
-
03
Twin-thumb controls
A control language borrowed from the games room. Left thumb steers, right thumb gazes — fluent in minutes, expressive for hours.
-
04
AI co-pilot
Live speech translation, sign and object recognition, route hints when the Avatar wavers. Quiet by default; eloquent on demand.
-
05
Vetted ledger
Encrypted two-way wallet, rated avatars, dispute resolution, tiered commissions that reward sustained excellence on the supply side.
-
06
Field equipment
Stabilised cameras, drones, kayaks, bicycles for the harder maps — provisioned through the platform when the geography demands it.
