We’ve all become very used to the use of video calls to support teams throughout the current crisis.

From team meetings and webinars, to wind-down quizzes and virtual pub sessions, there isn’t a digital company in the region who hasn’t been relying on a platform like Zoom to run their operations while the pandemic keeps them from working more closely.

It’s hard to imagine how many would have coped without the modern technology that allows us to work and socialise while remaining isolated and indoors – but with today’s innovations, we’re able to stay connected and retain a semblance of normality online.

And some have taken it even further. This crisis has made innovative thinking necessary, and for some tasks, video calling isn’t enough. In fact, some have found news ways to actually get hands-on with no violation of social distancing regulations.

Virtual reality, augmented reality and cross reality (XR) can be used to help designers work side-by-side without leaving their homes. They can help bring the office to you to make you feel more united with your colleagues. They can even provide a social space to boost morale for teams.
