Virtual Reality is Changing the Corporate Setup in the Pandemic Era

Virtual reality (VR) is transforming the way we do business from retail to sales.

Virtual reality (VR) has disrupted the gaming industry. With its incredible features, it provides gamers an entirely new experience, where gamers can directly immerse themselves in the world of gaming. However, we are now seeing practical applications of VR, outside the sphere of gaming. According to the Statista, the global revenue within the VR gaming industry is forecast to grow from 0.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2017 to 2.4 billion U.S. dollars by 2024. This highlights the rate at which the VR industry is growing, making an increase of approximately four times in its revenue. Experts and professionals are now finding ways to leverage VR in business.

The Covid-19 pandemic has prompted greater interest in virtual reality products. Virtual reality has stood out as a means of entertainment as people have navigated lockdown periods, and acted as a form of escapism while they’ve been physically confined. VR owners are broadly receptive to using the technology at work. Virtual reality offers every business the chance to rethink how they present and engage with their clients.

  • Foreign business meetings are difficult to attend at all times. Business professionals attribute a lot of their stress, time, and effort to overseas travel for business meetings. With VR, you can sit at your home or office and have a meeting without the need for traveling. A VR device can direct you to the place where your colleagues or clients are present. The recent advancements in video calling technology have reduced the need for flying overseas for meetings. However, the video calling technology offers disappointing results with cracking in audio and video.

    Moreover, only one person can express their views at a time. VR can address such issues well and help business users interact with their business partners in the virtual world like they do in the real world.

  • VR offers numerous benefits for structural engineers. They invest an immense amount of time in mailing their blueprints to seniors and waiting for their response. VR can help engineers enter a virtual world, consisting of their work, and explain to their seniors how their plan will look in the future.

  • Sitting the whole day long at your workplace is quite monotonous and can cause several health issues too. VR can help you solve such a problem. Having a VR environment at the office will motivate you to move around. Moreover, VR environment will replace the dull workplace environment and add a layer of excitement to work at office.
