Virtual reality (VR) has enjoyed status as “the next big thing” in technology since the movie The Lawnmower Man some 25 years ago. While some believed VR would eventually permeate every form of online communication, even business communication, this is not yet a reality. A variety of consumer VR systems hit the market—mostly within the video game industry—but none of them made a significant impact on the technology world.
While some companies are now going all in on this technology, from my experience of working with business leaders, I feel that modern videoconferencing and team engagement need not require an investment in VR technology.
