German universities develop "virtual meeting room" where users can meet with colleagues as avatars


Developed by visualization experts from six universities in Baden-Württemberg with members of the Visualization Department of the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), a new project entitled "Virtual Collaboration Laboratories Baden-Württemberg" (KoLab) allows users in different locations to meet and collaborate in a virtual settings. 

AR and VR collaborative environments aren't new in the design and construction industry, but often, users need to be in the same location to participate, usually viewing a localized model in a central location. According to Tech Xplore, "meeting participants are represented by avatars that can communicate in virtual reality, where they can collaboratively observe, analyze, and interact with 3-D visualizations — all from their workplaces or even home offices."
