Today at our lab we held part of our weekly production meeting in VR. We were all in the same physical room, and we could have seen each other in person, but we opted to put on wireless headsets, using our Holojam technology, and hold our conversation “in world”.
Because we could move around the room freely, it felt as though we had all been transported together to that alternate world. We could continue to talk with each other, but while inhabiting alien bodies on another planet.
This was just an early experiment. We still haven’t added enough things to do on that planet to make it a place we would prefer to spend a lot of time hanging out together. But we are going to keep adding. Every week, our alternate meeting room on a friendly alien world is going to become an ever more interesting place to hang out.
Still, to quote the last line of a great movie, there’s no place like home.
Happy Ides of March! 🙂
