In a press release, XR Collaboration announced their updated guide includes resources on XR accessibility, digital presence, avatar creation and over 70+ collaboration platforms.
XRCollaboration.com is proud to announce major updates to the free Global Resource – and The AREA is proud to support them.
Guide to XR Collaboration with the focus of providing a toolbox that is vitally important as Covid-19 continues to force organizations to work and learn from home. This much needed initiative was created with the support of sponsors; Deutsche Telekom , Qualcomm , MetaVRse , XR Bootcamp and Cleanbox and the industry associations such as VR/AR Association (VRARA) , Augmented World Expo (AWE) , Augmented Reality Enterprise Alliance (AREA) , and XR Access.
“Due to the coronavirus pandemic all forms of telecommunications are more important than ever. We use our brains more effectively when we feel more proximity while communicating with a person that is not in the same room ,” said Alexander Lautz, SVP of 5G, Deutsche Telekom . “ However, today’s mass market tools – telephony, messaging, document sharing, video calling – lack the level of immersion needed by themselves. XR technology enablers are crucial to enhancing telecommunications services to offer digital social proximity. Deutsche Telekom is proud to sponsor the Global Resource Guide to XR Collaboration which educates us all on what is possible already today .”
