Into the post-video-call era with VR?
As the xReality team we regularly hold our team meetings in VR. Last week we started a new ongoing VR format made up of a workshop and team building. For that, Michael Gairing and the RAUM virtual reality collaboration team provided the VR solution “RAUM” and Quest headsets.
Our recap:
📌 Leaving flatland: through 3D spatial experience, avatars, gestures and spatial audio, VR gives more depth and more focus. No distractions from smartphones, and physical movement frees you from the office chair.
📌 Work, classic & new: as a whole team in event rooms or as a sub-team in breakout rooms. Knowledge work in VR happens with sticky notes or 3D models.
📌 Virtual presence strengthens the team feeling: VR makes it possible for colleagues to feel close to each other again. Even team-building methods like the “warm shower” work. And for even more comfort: a VR after-work session under a fantastic starry sky is the icing on the cake.
The feedback was positive throughout. One thing is clear: New Work & VR are not just hip, they are a fantastic and effective way of working together. See you again in three months.
