In a world where remote work has become the new norm, the concept of a physical office seems like a distant memory for many of us. But what if we could bring the essence of our headquarters to life in the digital realm? That’s exactly what my team set out to do!
Using the magic of Unity and AltspaceVR, we embarked on an ambitious project to create a digital twin of downtown Newark, NJ—the home of our headquarters. From the iconic brick building adorned with our logo to the bustling trolley station and library next door, no detail was spared in our quest to recreate the essence of our beloved HQ.
As we navigated through the virtual streets of Newark, we were joined by some of our leaders, who were astonished by the uncanny resemblance to the real thing. The immersive experience truly captured the essence of being in Newark, sparking nostalgic memories and fostering a sense of connection among our team members.
But the fun didn’t stop there! We organized virtual get-togethers with colleagues who also had VR headsets, allowing us to explore our digital HQ together in real-time. And for those without VR, fear not—thanks to the Altspace desktop app, everyone could join in on the fun and experience the magic of our virtual headquarters.
In a time when physical distance can feel isolating, our virtual HQ has become a beacon of connection and camaraderie. It’s a reminder that even in the midst of a pandemic, technology has the power to bring us together and create unforgettable experiences. So, whether you’re strolling through the digital streets of Newark or chatting with colleagues from afar, one thing is for sure—our virtual HQ is where the magic happens!
