Facebook Horizon: WORKOOMS update brings VR

Almost a year ago, we illuminated how VR companies imagine the social future of cooperation. Meanwhile, Facebook has implemented a first part of its visions and currently rolls it under the name Horizon Workrooms in a system update of the Oculus Quest 2.

These include meetings where you are virtually personally sitting at the virtual conference table and other participants as a (recently improved) Oculus avatars observed in cartoon style. If you want, you can call up the monitor of your PC streamed in the world, so as e.g. to open presentations and bring it to the big screen. Thereafter, a participant can e.g. get up and how a teacher point to important details of the content presented - or mark things on the board.

Real keyboards can be integrated into the virtual world - using a Companion app for Windows or Mac. For the time being, only a few compatible models are supported. The real keyboard is so accurately suspected that the virtual keys are apparently exactly on the displayed place. So you can easily tap in front of the domestic, connected computers now, without before removing the headset.

Alternatively, a fittthrough mode for the desk can also be opened: in a rectangular window in the game world, e.g. The real mouse and the real keyboard are visible to use them.

Mixed.de has put together an overview of other useful functions for VR work or collaboration. These include u.a. 3D audio from the direction of the participants, hand tracking support for gestures, tailor-made rooms for up to 16 VR visitors and 34 video chat visitors, calendar integration and a chat.

Incidentally, one of the most exciting features uses an ordinary quest 2 controller: turn it around, its tip turns into a pen with which apparently already amazingly precise about the real table top drawn. Easy sketches are therefore likely to be possible easily. How this looks in practice shows a video of the YouTube channel MRTV:

Incidentally, users without a VR headset should be able to participate in meetings - by web solution in the form of a video call. Incidentally, those who want to be in VR must use an OCULUS QUEST 2 - and you need the link with a Facebook account for commissioning. Mixed.de explains the establishment of Horizon Workrooms as follows:

FINALLY we can play FORZA HORIZON 4 in VR with VorpX! // Oculus Rift S // RTX 2070 Super

_ Horizon Worcroom is free of charge and can be easily started by Germany, even if Oculus Quest 2 is not officially sold in this country (...) To use workwooms, you have to set up a corresponding user account on the official website. After the institution you can Download the VR app from the Oculus Store and pair the Oculus Quest 2 with the WORKOOMS user account. _

If you can only start something with photographing, charming drawn diary, heartwarming small miniges, and rather shallow puzzle fun, you should come to your expense here. In TOEM we shoot in the first place photos and help others It's about it: TOEM is not tapping long, but equips you right at the beginning with the essentials - a backpack and a somewhat in the years foto camera (with dynamic zoom!).
