RAUM vs. Engage:
Flexible Work Environments
Instead of Rigid VR Sessions
vs.
When should you switch?
Engage XR is built for guided events and training scenarios. RAUM is the alternative for teams that use VR as a real day-to-day tool. If you want to switch between moderated meetings and ongoing project work without starting from zero every time, RAUM is your choice.
Why teams look for an Engage XR alternative
Engage XR is often used for corporate events or education. But in productive enterprise use, teams repeatedly hit conceptual limits:
- Event logic Many assets are only active for the duration of a session. After that, the “magic” is over.
- Limited flexibility: Adapting spaces and content is often complex or tied to rigid templates.
- Missing workflow: Work happens in VR but is hard to integrate into the ongoing workday.
The point: Teams look for an Engage XR alternative once the headset is for daily value creation, not just the “event.”
The fundamental difference:
Session vs. continuum
Engage XR stages a moment—RAUM enables a process.
- Engage XR (The stage): Focus on the guided flow. Ideal for training where the facilitator leads the path.
- RAUM (The ecosystem): Focus on the symbiosis of meeting and outcome. The space isn’t a temporary set but a lasting digital place that grows with the project.
Feature comparison: RAUM vs. Engage XR
| Aspect | Engage XR (event focus) | RAUM (work focus) |
|---|---|---|
| Usage logic | Mostly session-based | Persistent & lasting |
| Visual quality | Functional / utilitarian | High-quality & consistent |
| Flexibility | Predefined flows | Free, intuitive & natural |
| Content creation | Limited (no-code) | Rich no-code toolkit |
| Templates | Fixed presets | Your own & customizable |
| Working feel | Facilitator-led | Team-centered & collaborative |
When Engage XR remains the better choice
Engage XR is the right solution for large events, virtual trade shows, or standardized training where many participants are guided through a fixed flow at once. When the focus is “broadcast” rather than “co-create,” Engage XR is efficient.
Why RAUM beats Engage XR
RAUM breaks the rigid VR-session mold and makes the virtual space fit for everyday use.
1. From meeting straight into doing
In RAUM there’s no hard cut between the workshop and follow-up. Content created in a session (Blox, canvas boards, 3D assets) stays right there. No tedious reconstructing of results.
2. Intuitive design without expert knowledge
Where Engage often needs technical setup, RAUM is built for self-service. Users shape their workspaces themselves—as simple as moving furniture in a real office.
3. High-quality look for professional use
RAUM offers a consistent, polished look that goes beyond purely functional presentation. That increases acceptance with clients and stakeholders and reduces “VR fatigue” in longer sessions.
Conclusion: The freedom to use VR productively
RAUM is the Engage XR alternative for everyone who sees VR as an extended desk, not a show stage. If you want to lead, use Engage. If you want to create together, use RAUM.
The alternative to Engage XR when work doesn’t only happen in the calendar slot.
