In-person or remote meeting? Why not both?
Our many years of experience in agile software development have shown us time and again how important close collaboration is for a modern team. We plan together, evaluate our work together and have fun together. This way, we act in concert, are highly motivated and get optimal work results. This can be achieved best when everyone in the team can work under the same or at least similar conditions. But this is exactly what is becoming more and more difficult due to the constantly changing conditions in our working environment.
We have therefore made it our goal to give your teams back the feeling of togetherness, whether in the office, at the customer's or when working from home. With our help, you can stop burdening your teams with the same video conferences over and over again. Give them back the daily meeting experience on an equal footing and with the sense of being there without losing the benefits of remote meetings. Move your meetings to the virtual, three-dimensional space.

The benefits and disadvantages of offline and online meetings at a glance
On-site offline meeting
- Everyone comes together in one room with a board.
- Personal dialog creates a motivating working atmosphere.
- Haptic processes such as handing over the speech ball or reassigning tickets keep concentration high.
- “Touch, Turn, Talk“ is possible.

On-site offline meeting
Advantages
+ Everyone comes together in one room with a board.
+ Personal dialog creates a motivating working atmosphere.
+ Haptic processes such as handing over the speech ball or reassigning tickets keep concentration high.
+ “Touch, Turn, Talk“ is possible.
Online meeting via groupware
- There are no physical ties.
- Traveling is not necessary.
- All participants have a perfect view of the board.
- Direct use of the deployed tools
→ Less preparation time
→ No subsequent work required
→ No transmission errors - Old chat messages can be view at any time.
- Hosts have a harder time judging whether everyone is focused.
- Communication is mostly sequential and without body language.
- The lack of interaction disturbs the "we" feeling and thus motivation.
- The lack of haptics and little variety make it more difficult to concentrate throughout.

What would happen if...
we could combine the benefits of both variants?
We create a virtual meeting room
- The virtual room is suitably prepared for the respective meeting.
- It can be experienced via VR goggles or web application.
- Everyone gets their own avatar and can design it as they wish.
- VR features enable haptic experiences.
- The room pulls its data from our work tools. Everything is always up-to-date without additional effort.

All benefits at a glance
Distributed working
- Saves travel costs
- Working time is used more efficiently
Avatars
- Enable body language
- Increase the fun factor
- Motivate active participation
Wir-Erlebnis
- Virtual proximity of the avatars increases the "we" feeling.
- People feel present in spite of physical distance
Interactive objects
- Enable haptic meeting techniques
- Simulate analog sensory perceptions
- Enable intuitive operation
Prepared room
- No need to prepare a physical room
- No cleaning up either
Integration of additional tools (e.g., Jira)
- Work results are immediately available in Jira
- All data always up-to-date
Goggles & browser
- Low entry barrier when called as a web application
Sustainability
- Traveling less is not only good for the budget, but the environment too

Interested? We would be happy to demonstrate the benefits of a virtual reality meeting.
We will accompany you to our virtual office where you can experience the benefits of a VR meeting for yourself
Using the example of a Scrum Daily, we show you how we operate in the virtual, three-dimensional space on a daily basis.
Of course, we will provide you with the necessary equipment and a short introduction.
