Just as an aside, I was very skeptical of tech even like zoom rooms. It's simply a camera mounted on the display that has AI that focuses on people in the room and splits the display so you see everyone in the room individually. Why would you need this? Isn't it creepy? The reality is that our remote meetings without zoom rooms are definitely less engaging, so we try to find the rooms in our office where those are enabled/installed. However, the difference between that and what Meta and Microsoft are attempting is that the zoomrooms are an incremental improvement to an existing collaboration mode. Can you imagine mixed-mode meetings with VR? Unless you have tons of people who WANT to VR meet then it's going be a flop.
