The New Reality

Immersive Technologies in the Post-Pandemic Era

19 May 2020

During the coronavirus pandemic, work from home became the new reality even in those professions where face-to-face meetings are considered essential. Extended Reality technology is providing a solution for bridging distances that is far more advanced than video chat.

Tamás works for the Budapest office of an international media communications agency. The firm reacted quickly when the pandemic struck the country, one week before the lockdown all employees were told to work from home, requiring a fast adjustment to the reality of distance collaboration.

Face to face meetings with clients, which is an essential part of Tamás’s line of work, now have to be conducted online. „When we have a problem, usually it is much easier to communicate it personally”, he says, since nonverbal communication plays a big part in convincing negotiating partners.

There are conversations, where on-line video chat programs just will not cut it.
