Ask HN: What do you think about the potential for 3D office software?

3 points by xspiral 2y ago

I've been wondering if there are any 3D office software tools available. The idea of using 3D visualization for organizing projects, visualizing data, and collaborating sounds intriguing and could really change how we handle our daily tasks. Has anyone come across software like this? If so, how was your experience? If not, do you think it would be useful? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this potential game-changer for productivity tools.

At most i can think of is visualising data.

  Visualizing data is definitely a great application. I wonder if there are other creative uses we haven't thought of yet. Maybe project management or collaborative workspaces could benefit from 3D as well.

    There were multiple tries for that that failed.

      Yeah, there have been a few attempts that didn't work out. It's definitely a challenging area. Maybe with better tech and user feedback, we'll see more successful implementations in the future.

I think it makes sense for mixed reality such as with the Quest 3 or Vision Pro. Or the Nreal Air or whatever. I think when we see a lot of lightweight mixed reality glasses that are similar to normal glasses in terms of comfort then there will be a shift to 3d apps for productivity.

  That makes a lot of sense. Lightweight mixed reality glasses could definitely drive the adoption of 3D apps for productivity. It's exciting to think about how this technology could change our work environments.
