Milan, Italy - October 11, 2022: Online meetings have become a crucial aspect of our daily life in recent years, both in our professional life and in our free time. In a corporate setting, video conferencing is a great way for teams to connect and collaborate - whether for a meeting or for the informal exchange of ideas.
However, several components are still missing for a holistic meeting experience. For example, there is no common room or place where all the participants gather. Another thing missing is the realistic experience with the respective product or project that needs to be presented or discussed. The solution to this is a virtual meeting. These online meetings take place in a 3D virtual environment. Just like for video conferencing, participants can connect with their PC, tablet or smartphone. Those who already own VR glasses experience the encounter in an extremely realistic way.
In a virtual meeting, you see the other participants in the form of avatars. You can also talk to all participants, for example to discuss a technical solution. The peculiarity of a virtual meeting is the environment, it can be designed and adapted for each individual meeting. For example, participants in a virtual meeting can virtually meet in a factory, plant or building, which currently only exists in the form of 3D CAD data. The set environment can also be a virtual meeting room or a showroom where the company's products are displayed.
Advantages of virtual meetings for a company
If you look at a virtual meeting from the point of view of a company, or even from that of a project, it offers great advantages in every phase of the project. This is because virtual meetings can be used already in the planning phase of a project to “immerse” the participants in the 3D project data and experience them in a realistic way. In this way, problems can be identified and solved much earlier. And if colleagues from assembly or service departments are also involved, their feedback can be used for production, assembly or maintenance.
From a marketing point of view, virtual showrooms can be created where companies can present their products permanently in a virtual environment. Here, current browsers offer the ability to call up and view a virtual environment via a web browser. All you need is a link on the website. The customer can immediately take part in a virtual meeting and experience the products virtually. In this way, unique product experiences can be created that emphasize a company's innovative character.
The sales department can communicate even better with its customers through a virtual meeting. For example, the sales manager can virtually meet his client in the future building via a virtual meeting. Here he can not only show him the building, but also let him experiment with the various details and planned features. Early customer feedback ensures changes are made early on in the project, which in turn saves costs.
Even during the implementation of a project, 3D project data can be used in virtual meetings to discuss real project progress or to compare it with initial project data. During maintenance, the service department can also view any part of a system without having to physically go to the site.
i4 MEETING is a platform for virtual meetings. With it, virtual meetings have been reinvented, as the platform brings together all meeting participants in a 3D virtual environment. Through the available clients, each participant chooses the level of immersion that she prefers. With a PC, a tablet or a smartphone, you can immerse yourself in a virtual meeting from your screen. With the VR glasses, the participant uses the highest level of immersion and is at the center of the virtual environment of the virtual meeting. The moderator has the ability to customize the virtual experience with their own 3D models and change the meeting room or let attendees dive right into the 3D planning data. Try i4 MEETING now
During the design and development of innovative solutions such as i4 MEETING virtual meetings, the needs of the industry have always been kept in mind. From the beginning, the solution was tested with different mechanical or plant engineering models. This means that 3D models from different CAD systems can now be viewed together from different places and large objects such as factories, buildings or plants can be visited virtually.
The need for virtual and place-independent meetings can be felt in any industry or cultural sector. Here, ideas can be realized in a completely new way and in unlimited form. With each new virtual meeting, i4 MEETING creates a new virtual world that has no boundaries. Here, marketers can also let off steam together with designers or artists and create innovative experiences. All you need are suitable 3D models and great ideas, which has already been demonstrated at the world famous music event “moers festival”. Here, i4 MEETING created an accompanying exhibition in which all event visitors could immerse themselves online with their browser.
