You can do that online as well, no?
I suppose if you elect to not remain anonymous there could be an issue, but generally speaking I don’t know that this is a problem.
- dougmwne 4y agoYes, VR is online, but it’s a weird embodied immersive presence version of online that can feel a bit like hanging out in meatspace. And it has a off button.
- TulliusCicero 4y agoYes, but VR has the advantage of feeling closer to IRL meetups in some ways. Head and hand movement does a lot.
- Mikeb85 4y agoEveryone's pushing IRL meetings though. Apart from tech, most industries are back at the office...
- TulliusCicero 4y agoWere we talking specifically about corporate work? There's more to meetings or meetups than just your job. That said, I think VR/AR may eventually be a way to enhance online work meetings. It doesn't seem like it's there yet overall, but eventually I could definitely see it working.
- techwizard81 4y agoCan you elaborate on how VR would enhance meetings? I really don’t see the point myself. I don’t want to meet some avatar in a virtual room and I don’t know anybody who would.
- Firmwarrior 4y agoHe elaborated and you didn't understand There are tons of accounts of how you feel a sense of 'presence' in VR. The head tracking fools your lizard brain into thinking you're actually there in the virtual world. If you're reading this site I'm guessing you have access to $400. Just go buy a Quest 2 and try it out for 10 minutes, and you'll see what I mean.
- TulliusCicero 4y agoCompared to standard video calls, there'd be a much greater sense of presence. Head movement, hand movement, and eye contact (once that's standard) would increase how close it feels to IRL meetings.
