Team collaboration in VR (S2E1)

People have always been good at cooperating to create something bigger. The physical collaboration has been recently enriched by online tools connecting us across the world more efficiently. There is a new third option, though, to the offline and online work - a fully virtual one.

The episode covers various ready to use tools for team collaboration in VR. Why should you even consider VR as an alternative? What are the currently available hardware and software options for virtual office, meetings, and workshops? How to start?

Join us in testing various VR workplaces that could bring new opportunities to your working environment. 

Why should I watch the episode?

• Broaden your perspectives by a very practical use of VR in case you are new to it. Team collaboration might be a new work-related area you should explore even if you’re already an experienced VR professional.

What will be my take-home value?

• There are day to day tasks and moments that have a VR alternative. It can be a regular stand-up, a status meeting, a presentation of results, a kick-off meeting as well as retrospective, one off teambuilding sessions and whole day remote office setup too. Be one or more steps ahead of your colleagues.
