Four-month experiment: Working in a VR environment can greatly improve efficiency

If you are willing to bring your head and headphones, virtual reality can immerse you in another world. This kind of transfer behavior is very suitable for the game, but it also makes me wonder: Can VR's immersive effect keep employees away from chattering colleagues, focus on work and improve efficiency?

After trying out a few applications that can “move” a PC into VR and talk to early adopters who have been working in this environment for a few months, I am sure that VR can at least improve employee productivity. Think of the technology as a huge screen that wraps around your head and gives you the world's largest multi-monitor setup.

Jack Donovan, a software engineer in New York, said: "I work in an open office with typical noise and fluorescent lights, but virtual reality can be set to the working environment I want." Donovan at work I often wear Oculus Rift VR heads. He went on to say, "I have been working this way for about four months. It really helps with the work of programming. I want to concentrate on one thing and avoid distractions."

Virtual Desktop, Envelop and Bigscreen are all VR office software that can transfer your PC to the virtual world. Currently these three applications only support Windows, and need to connect high-end VR head-mounted display, such as Oculus Rift or htc vive.

Virtual Desktop is the most basic of the three. Basically, this app looks like a wraparound workspace that beats any display on the market. As the simplest VR desktop application, Virtual Desktop is perfect for those who want a big screen experience but don't want to spend too much time learning.

Envelop makes better use of VR features. “If you think of a computer monitor as a window into the virtual world, using Envelop is like staying on the other side of the window,” Donovan said. “You can freely and truly 'touch', move and manipulate your Program, no display restrictions."

Bigscreen is designed for more collaborative work. The program creates a shared virtual environment (implemented through a virtual sofa) that other users can hang and share. Donovan said frankly: "I like it to let you choose an environment that helps to adjust the atmosphere of your work. So you can decide whether to sit on the roof, sit on the beach, or even work in a Victorian mansion with a fireplace. ""

So what kind of work is best for VR, what is still suitable for working in the real world? The early adopters I interviewed pointed out that visual tasks such as Photoshop are well suited for operation in VR. Donovan explained: "If you are designing something like a billboard, you can resize it in VR to make it as big as a real billboard."

But for work involving a lot of text processing, the technology is still a bit struggling. Although the resolution of the VR head is increasing, the rendering of the text will still appear a bit fuzzy. In addition, you can't see the mouse and keyboard in the current VR environment. If you want to do a lot of text input tasks in VR, you need to be a good touch input, or your blind typing skills are very good, and this is still a certain challenge for some users. Envelop can transfer your hands and keyboard and mouse to the field of view in real time through the camera, which makes the keyboard operation easier to a certain extent.
