I only tested it like twice, on a meeting with my friends when we were working on a game in our free time, but I was honestly surprised how better the meeting went in VR.

Being used to just staring at flat faces on Zoom, you kind of forget how much you are actually missing in the term of expressions. It’s hard to describe, but it just felt a lot better when people are in a 3D space and can gesture around.

The whiteboard tools were also nice, like being able to draw with the pointy end of your controller either on table in front of you, or place a virtual blackboard against your wall at home.

Sure, in-person meetings are better, but this was pretty close to the point where it felt almost as a real meeting.

For standups and the like it’s an overkill, but brainstorming sessions were a lot better.

Of course, we never did that again, because the hassle of setting up headsets is too annoying. But especially for remote teams, I can imagine it being nice for occasional meetings.

It also might’ve just been the novelty effect and it would get old amd annoying soon.
