Collaboration and meeting software for Virtual Reality

2 followers

Step into your virtual reality office. rumii can be used across virtual reality headsets and desktops for collaboration and meetings. Built-in audio means no more dial-in numbers. Do more than share presentations. Teams can manipulate objects for 3D product design and innovation. Great for remote teams, education and digital nomads.

Wow so this just looks weird, is it for real? Besides of 3d-avatars do you plan on allowing streaming -faces- in those avatars, for video conferencing a la zoom but with a 3d-vr setup

@schpn Hi there Agusti! Currently the avatars work well by being facially expressive due to eye tracking in the headsets and the hand gestures by controller. Streaming faces is a good idea but could lead to the common current problems we have in teleconferencing software (lag) once technology catches up we would love to pursue this idea.

@missdestructo I understand, I like the Avatars too, maybe if they come to be animojis connected to your webcam, that would accomplish the same with less data being transferred...

@schpn @missdestructo At the right time, we should sync up. We don't just stream faces, we do full 3D volumetric capture, encode the hologram, send it over a network, decode it, and render the 3D hologram....all in real-time. Avatars will be a thing of the past rather soon, and we'll be looking for platform partners once Teleporter is ready to go in a few months.

Totally random idea I had looking at this...would be cool to integrate a ping pong table in office. A virtual meeting that also gets your heart going a bit! For me that would give a bit more of a reason to strap on the headset, headphones, etc.

@kjstrasser Yes! We could eventually do that in the rumii lobby! Thank you for the feedback.

@missdestructo Another random use case...remote teams working on VR projects together. So you can test work, try things out, and then discuss project without having to go back & forth from VR to the "real world."

@kjstrasser Having something leisure to do while waiting for your co-workers to show up in the rumii lobby is something we've talked about doing in the future. Ping pong, golf, a batting cage, or pretty much any activity beats staring at a pop-up window that says 'Waiting for the host to start your meeting.'

What sort of work spaces are you thinking of developing in the future? Like the surface or Mars or an underwater lab. 🤔

@peet818 Oh all kinds of fun things. We have a ton of outdoor vistas and already have the underwater lab background!

@peet818 Our initial spaces during early access are going to be fairly default meeting rooms. After MVP we'll be adding some more exciting and atmospheric environments.

I tried a demo of DataViz VR recently. Does Rumii allow you to meet as well as make a presentation to people in VR, like them?

Product Hunt

This is fascinating. I've been watching the "cultural evolution" of remote working and distributed teams (fun fact: the Product Hunt team is spread across 8 timezones). More companies will be built by distributed teams in the future and we need tools to make communication and collaboration easier. I'm curious what Slack does in our VR/AR future. 🤔

@rrhoover Thank you Ryan! As someone who also has worked from home and remote teams for years, I always knew there was a better way of making this work. Currently, our team at Doghead Simulations is all over the world, but when we are in rumii we truly feel connected and productive as if you were in a real office. Let us know if you ever want a demo for your PH team! We would be honored.
