Virtual Reality to reduce the pain of remote work

Not all workers work in the same way and not all have the same preferences about the optimal work environment. And, according to Meta, companies need to invest in technological upgrades, including virtual reality, to ensure they embrace all of those differences. Most importantly, taking into account that a third of the workforce is already working remotely.

For example, only 19% of employees say video helps them feel more present in meetings.

In addition, according to Meta, collaborator teams are increasingly dispersed, increasingly hybrid, marking differences in individual rhythms and ways of working. So putting them through an immersion experience can “mitigate the weak points regarding remote work.”

different investment

Metaverse, according to Meta, will have a central place but it would be ideal to work on surfaces in 2D and 3D, to be interoperable with all types of devices: desktops, mobile devices, mixed and augmented reality.

62% of employees surveyed want a virtual reality room with avatars to collaborate at work. And the companies surveyed will shift their investment from classic hardware to new Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality devices.

This will provide more options for inclusion, training and creative development in real time, which will increase the value of human talent. 69% of employers say they plan to increase their investment in this area and it will be used not only for training, but even for interacting with customers.

Metaverse, beyond the internet

The Metaverse will not be built by one company and, in this sense, will represent the possibility of building an ecosystem. This will create a world where workers have better access to knowledge, colleagues and different opportunities, regardless of where they live or the nature of their work.

81% of employees expect a simulated virtual version of their company to exist within the next five years.

Not trusting the metaverse, the downside

According to Meta, the direction of technology and commitment to the metaverse will be the differentiator of the company’s competitiveness. And he also said that there is not much time to waste, because not only does investment and integration of new technologies take time, but also requires training and adaptation time.
