Facebook Mark Zuckerberg CEO appeared three weeks ago on the television program CBS THIS MORNING, and talked to the moderator, Gale King.However, they were not talking by sitting in the studio or using a video conference app.He was talking in real reality (VR).
Zuckerberg CEO, who appeared in Golden Time, introduced an app developed by Facebook called Horizon Workrooms.The app invites users to VR space through the company's Oculus headset.Zuckerberg CEO and King have created their anime -style avatars for this day, and the motion sensor reproduced the movement of the two heads and hands as the movement of the avatar.
The result was awkward to look at.King was surprised at the freckles in the Avatar of the Zuckerberg CEO, and Zuckerberg CEO talked about Methaverth for a long time.At one point, King asked questions that were difficult to answer."Did you feel the zoom out (zoom fatigue)? Because I was."
Zoom (ZOOM) has become so popular that it is used as a verb, and the company has earned nearly $ 1 billion.However, there was a compensation for the spread of zoom widely.One and a half years have passed since the office workers were forced to use the virtual conferences due to this pandemic, and those who use this video conference app on a daily basis often speak out.What is the dissatisfaction of "zooming out" or "zoom fatigue".
It is no wonder that tech companies other than zoom will also want to reform the form of the meeting.I don't think the remote work will be gone soon.However, in order to get the crown of zoom, it is necessary to be creative and make employees from exhausting the endless video calls.
One of the companies that work on such reforms is, of course, Facebook. The Horizon Work Room is the first step of Facebook for a fairly vague ambition to create a digital "meta spring". Metaverse is a virtual space where people work, play, and, probably, or probably have a large amount of advertisements that benefit companies. However, after the demonstration of the Horizon Work Room, many people laughed at the app. For example, some writers say that this app captures the "worst part of the actual office life", and another writer describes it as "not attractive." In other words, both technically and employees were not ready to realize a completely immersive virtual workplace.
Nevertheless, companies are desperately searching for ways to promote coordination in remote environments and nurture fellow awareness.At the moment, the completely immersive VR environment may be overkill, but many companies create a virtual world that resembles a video game environment, and make the video games themselves.I'm trying to make it more fun.
It is expected that you will be able to increase the productivity of employees and live a happier life (though if some company works well).
Jamie Tivan, the chief scientist in charge of Microsoft and device, points out that incorporating fun in the experience is one of the important goals.What the chief scientist Tivan is studying is productivity.The remote conference has been trapped in a cramped digital square, questioning how to use the space to communicate.Her idea is that it is necessary to expand the space through play for better communication."We are good at using space, but we can't do that in online conferences. Online is basically thinking about games and social connections."
So, one morning in early August, I tried using a kumospace.The startup company has Google as a customer and promises on its own homepage to create a meaningful connection in an unforgettable virtual space.The video that I was showing was a small square, and moved around a virtual lobby space with a jukebox in a sofa, piano, houseplant, and Spotifi's "Quiet Hours" mix.When the founder and President Brett Martin joined the screen, he guided me inside the room.When the distance between me and Martin was too far away, his voice became smaller.It is an acoustic function that imitates the real world.
"Wait. I showed ...
