Extended Reality (XR) technologies are heralded for the ability to imitate the real world using a digital world that has been simulated through sensory feeling – enabling a feeling of total immersion. These immersive technologies come in the form of Virtual Reality (also called VR) and Augmented Reality (also called AR).

Today, we use immersive technology in many ways, including remote work. With remote work the new norm for the foreseeable future, VR and AR tools are now seeing greater adoption for collaboration purposes. Zoom fatigue and the feeling of talking at a flat screen on end has driven innovative companies to seek out new solutions, with AR and VR being an indispensable way of working together without being physically present. Below, we outline 12 of the XR tools that businesses and companies can currently use for remote collaboration.
