Feature request: 2D virtual spaces

The immersive space with 3D avatars feature is a nice idea, but not everyone has the hardware to support this feature and the use of 3D spaces places a significant limit on the number of attendees.

I would like to see MS teams consider implementing a simpler option, whereby a 2D office space, with simple icon-type avatars (circles with the usual profile pic) is used instead. These icons could be moved around the 2D space with mouse (click and drag) or keyboard controls, and when your icon is in close proximity to other icons, those users can be heard - ideally with a proximity volume adjustment calculated (the closer you are the louder those around you are).

This would be a significant feature and allow a more expansive range of uses and utility to the MS teams platform as a remote working tool without placing a burden on end users hardware.

This would allow the solution to be used in the background as a virtual office space in support of remote and hybrid working, or for distributed teams.
