Horizon Workrooms - Remote Collaboration Reimagined

Workrooms is a virtual meeting space where you and your colleagues can work better together from anywhere. Join a VR meeting as an avatar, or dial in from your computer. Use the virtual whiteboard to sketch ideas. 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.

Imagine being fired remotely by a giant cartoon character.

Crazy world we live in.

I just love how they are all avatars. I wonder if they can choose other nonhuman avatars because I would love my boss to call a meeting as a dragon.

Imagine a zoom meeting but you literally cannot look away

This trailer for the next season of Black Mirror looks dope, can't wait!

[andrewhhite]

This honestly looks like the seventh layer of with avatars

So good! My entire team just turned off slack, zoom, Meet, Bigscreen, RecRoom and completely transferred everything to workrooms/workplace. It’s way more social and feels so much less like a half assed gimmicky solve than everything else out there.

omgg the sound design is amazing! Props to the audio team at oculus

I 100% love this Oculus, especially adding the keyboard into it as well. Can't wait for Horizons!

you know this will just become a troll chatroom xD

[jotrades]

Ah yes, Let's find a way to micro manage our employees by having them wear a VR headset from 9 to 5

Note to self: remove Lego parts off the floor before starting a Horizon session 😅

Now The Boss In Your Game Is None Other Than Your Actual Boss.

FYI this enables you to join a meeting naked. MIND BENDING! Besides many other ideas I have, this one is the moderately socially acceptable one I'm gonna put out there. BRIGHT FUTURE!

This just looks like an easy in for corporate espionage

We tried this type of virtual meeting but had to come back to video calling apps. It was so distracting that people couldn't focus on the topics. It rather works for virtual offsites or party than daily works.

And when will Horizons *actually* be released to owners of the Quest?

[awakenhawk]

You're never seeing your friends in flesh and bones again.

If done in moderation this is a genuinely cool idea. Companies that use this, but do so with flexibility, moderation, and have set boundaries will see strong productivity increases and improved idea-sharing. Solid product, and idea for more intimate collaboration. I can imagine someone immunocompromised or disabled being able to collaborate virtually in an office with colleagues without any restrictions
This is a win for Oculus (and Facebook)

[plagrr]

imagine getting a raise by a pirate with wings

working long hours wearing a vr headset is the most uncomfortable and eye straining experience tbh
