After all, the day will come when almost every employee will work remotely in virtual spaces that not only make them more productive but bring them together like never before. As such, the firm is committed to creating unique solutions that will bring the future of virtual offices to clients today. The first step toward that reality is to create a space where users can work with the productivity applications that they use now and also meet, share and communicate with others. vSpatial is an evolution of a meeting reimagined within virtual reality and unlimited space. When utilising this innovative solution, users interact with this space in VR using the Oculus and other VR devices. Unique to the market, users of this creative solution are no longer limited to physical monitors to be productive as vSpatial allows them to access their desktop and applications within VR, each one has their own virtual monitor and can be placed all around the user. Additionally, users can move the screens around a carousel with a flick of the joystick, or grab and move them by hand. Alongside creating a user-friendly interface, vSpatial is also working hard to overcome traditional issues that VR has faced in the workplace. One of the key problems with VR has been the ability to read text. vSpatial’s default font size makes it easy to read and interact with emails, documents and other business data. It also includes simple zoom features that allow the user to change the font and screen size with a click of a button to make it larger. Additional functions include VR team meetings, Slack integration, 360 YouTube and video player and a customisable work environment. As such, the solution is ideal for a wide variety of applications and workspaces, meeting the needs of a range of clients.
