Just like the Covid pandemic drove us to video conferencing with Zoom, VR glasses could be the next big leap. Why? VR offers a more immersive presence, making collaboration and specialized tasks feel far more natural and impactful than a simple video call. This could become essential as the benefits of VR become undeniable in fields like design, training, and even physical therapy. But what will make the VR a Must ? #metaverse

Hi everyone! We just released the *web* version of Beyondreal - *the* #spatial collaboration tool. Basically, it’s zoom on steroids but also so much more: - 3D environments accessible from either web or #VR for those who have the headset - multiple screens sharing, positioned in 3D space so you can focus on what’s important just like in a real world meeting - video and voice is a given - you need only the web browser nothing else! - 3D objects and any other kind of documents shared by the room so you can revisit at any time - imagine for instance dedicated room for your quarterly board meetings that *keeps all information*! You come the next quarter - and it’s all there on the boards, on the screens, in stickers etc Much, much more! We just released the beta last week, using it ourselves for all the projects and never looking back to boring legacy tools. If you want to try - drop me or Maher Farraj or Marek Swierad a note and we’d love to have a call inside this environment with you - experiencing is believing :)

The data has been present for the last couple years. Employees love many of the things that come with remote / flexible / hybrid work. With this new mode, there are challenges like productivity (studies vary), engagement, and social connections. Immersive tech is a path to augment what works great by improving in the areas that 2D engagement can’t achieve. We will get better at identifying the right mode (in person, immersive, 2d, a sync, etc) for a given activity but this study shows that immersive is a high impact piece of successful engagement.

The ability to be IN #VR together is a catalyst for #creativity and ideation. There is simply no better way to #design #XR apps and games as a team.
