Context

Confo — a spatial online meeting platform that leverages extended reality (XR) technologies such as virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) to enable immersive and interactive remote collaboration experiences. It creates virtual environments where users can gather, interact, and collaborate as if they were physically present.

Problem statement

Existing online meeting platforms like Google Meet, Zoom, and Webex face several challenges:

  • Lack of Immersion: Traditional platforms lack immersion and fail to recreate the feeling of being physically present.
  • Limited Interaction: Non-verbal cues and natural interactions are limited in standard video conferencing setups.
  • Engagement and Attention: Sustaining engagement and attention over extended periods can be challenging, leading to participant fatigue.
  • Accessibility: High-quality XR devices are not widely accessible, creating a barrier for users to join immersive meetings.
  • Content Adaptation: Converting traditional meeting content into XR-friendly formats poses a challenge.

Solution

  • Enhanced Immersion: XR allows users to engage in lifelike environments, fostering a sense of presence and collaboration.
  • Natural Interactions: Through avatars, spatial audio, and gestures, XR enables more natural and interactive communication.
  • Increased Engagement: Immersive environments can prevent meeting fatigue and maintain participant interest through interactive elements and spatial engagement.
  • Accessibility Solutions: XR platforms that support various devices, including standard screens and mobile devices, ensuring broader accessibility.
  • Content Adaptation Tools: User-friendly tools for converting and creating content suitable for XR environments, easing the transition from traditional to immersive meetings.
