Horizon Workrooms for meeting with Virtual Reality technology
As jobs, and working processes are changing every day, so does technologies. During this time of the COVID-19 epidemic, people are working with the Work from Home System and new technologies are also emerging to make it easier. Facebook introduced its Horizon Workroom recently.
A workplace is a place where everyone can work together. Facebook makes it easier for people working in the remote workplace by creating a virtual room where you can meet and work with your colleagues in one place. It works across both virtual reality and the web and is designed to improve your team’s ability to collaborate, communicate, and connect remotely, through the power of VR— whether that’s getting together to brainstorm.

Workrooms bring some of our best new technologies together for the first time into one experience using features like a mixed-reality desk and keyboard tracking, hand tracking, remote desktop streaming, video conferencing integration, spatial audio, and the new Oculus Avatars.
Workrooms is a virtual meeting place where you can work together with your colleagues. You need to create a custom avatar using VR and call Virtual Room from your computer via video call. You can use a huge virtual whiteboard to sketch out ideas together, bring your computer and keyboard into VR to work together with others, or just have expressive conversations that feel more like you’re together in person.
Working from VR doesn’t mean you have to leave your regular tools behind. Workrooms is a mixed reality experience, letting you bring your physical desk and compatible tracked keyboard into the virtual room with you, where you can see them sitting on the virtual meeting table in front of you. It also creates sounds to match your Avatar. You can hear the sounds of the people sitting next to you. For example, when the person sitting on the left side is talking, you can hear it as if you were actually sitting on the left side. Whiteboards will be provided for each room, and you will be able to draw whatever you want to sketch. Even if you leave the room and come back in, the whiteboard will still be there. Once done, the whiteboard can be sent to the computer as an external VR image.

Not everyone will always have a VR headset handy, so you can also dial into a room from your computer by video call. You can invite guests to dial in too, just by sharing a meeting link. It supports up to 16 people in VR together, and up to 50 people total on a call, including video.
If you’re the first of your colleagues to try Workrooms, you can sign up to create a new Workrooms team at workrooms.com. Visit the following link for more detailed information.
