The current situation in the world has forced
several governments to declare quarantine states
to prevent the crisis from escalating.
Including my country, Peru.
These measures have forced many citizens
to work from their homes, which makes us think about
the options that technology for telework offers us.
Currently there are many platforms for
managing traditional tasks and video conferencing,
however, sometimes they are not as effective as physical meetings.
If we could simulate environments where
high levels of interaction, non-verbal communication
and immersion ability are allowed
we would feel the closest to being together
and possibly increase productivity.
Immersive realities: augmented reality and virtual reality can do all that and more.
Here is what these technologies offer us to work remotely,
minimizing health risks. Let's get started!
Let's start this count with a closer teleworking tool…
Teamviewer Pilot is a platform that belongs to the well-known
remote support application: TeamViewer.
This augmented reality tool allows you to
solve technical problems. It provides remote assistance
using the cell phone camera,
and it also allows marking real objects with arrows and circles.
Thanks to this tool, we not only
solve problems, it also allows us to save travel costs, among others.
Currently, TeamViewer Pilot has a cost
if you want to use it for a team of people,
but if it is for private use, you can download the application for free and use it without cost.
This tool definitely seems super useful to me and we can start using it now!
BigScreen is a platform that uses the power of virtual reality.
With this platform we can create private and public rooms for virtual meetings.
It also gives the possibility
to share ideas through voice chats,
share desktops, use controllers
and interact with the avatars of your job partners.
With BigScreen you can also
enjoy movies, TV series and
other entertainment content to be able
to cope with these moments when you need to stay at home.
Currently, BigScreen is completely free
and is compatible with the main viewers such as Oculus Go,
Oculus Rift and Oculus Quest,
Steam VR, HTC Vive.
If you have any of these devices, download it and start sharing group ideas!
Spatial. It is an augmented reality platform that allows meetings remotely.
With Spatial, the meetings will come alive
with spatial audio and 3D telepresence of the "virtual bodies" of the other participants.
It also allows you to interact with more complex content
such as prototypes, models and buttons in a very natural way.
Spatial can be used with HoloLens,
MagicLeap, VR, PC or smartphone.
If you use it in a non-commercial way, you can experience
some functions for free,
if you are a company you must bear a cost.
This is one of the most powerful platforms on the market.
Glue is a collaboration platform that
takes advantage of the advances in immersive 3D graphics,
virtual reality, and cloud computing.
With this platform you can have a meeting
in an immersive virtual space through
3D avatars that reflect the movement and gestures of users,
the experience is complemented by spatial audio.
Supported virtual reality headsets include
Oculus Rift, Oculus Rift S, and Oculus Quest.
To access their service, previously you must request
their service. So it is evident that this platform
is oriented only to companies.
MeetInVR is a platform that allows companies
to have powerful meetings in interactive virtual reality spaces.
MeetInVR allows for more
complex activities such as presenting 3D models, brainstorming,
sketching, mind mapping,
prototyping, and team building activities.
All this while interacting in a natural way
thanks to the avatars and the space similar to a boardroom.
As you have seen, both virtual reality and
augmented reality allow you to create interactive
and collaborative telecommuting environments with powerful tools ...
Perhaps few companies are prepared
to apply this type of technology, but they are definitely the future.
Take care of yourselves and more in these times.
Don't forget to wash your hands. Together we can get ahead.
