XR Collaboration
More natural and engaging than traditional video conferencing
Collaborating in Virtual Reality (VR) or Augmented Reality (AR) represents a significant advancement in remote teamwork and communication. These immersive technologies create shared virtual spaces where users can interact with each other and digital content in ways that feel more natural and engaging than traditional video conferencing.
Overview of XR Collaboration
Enhanced engagement and immersion: VR and AR create a more realistic and engaging environment, making participants feel as if they’re physically present in the same space. This leads to 300% increased productivity in some cases, compared to traditional video calls.
Better visualisation and interaction with data: AR and VR enable participants to interact with 3D objects, visualisations, and real-time data in ways not possible in a regular video call. This is particularly useful for fields like architecture, engineering, and product design.

Our Approach
Given the rapidly evolving nature of immersive technologies, many companies have faced challenges when taking a traditional approach to sourcing and deploying collaborative platforms in XR.
Investing time and money in custom builds is often unnecessary, as there are many ready-made XR collaboration platforms available today, ranging from industry-specific solutions to cloud and on-premise options, each offering varying functionalities.
Finding the right platform in such an embryonic marketplace can be challenging. We have built an eco-system of what we feel are the best collaborative platforms across the UK varying across different functionality and industry sectors.
At Vertical Realities, we employ a consultative approach which leverages our expertise in both the market and the technology to help you identify which platforms best meet your business and operational needs.
We believe that deploying any successful Immersive XR Collaboration Platform should include the following:
- Co-creation: Combining our subject matter expertise with your industry expertise to co-create and jointly develop a stage-based approach to delivering your solution.
- ROI Calculator: We are driven by business outcomes. Establishing a clear set of benchmarks is crucial in demonstrating the success of the project, securing stakeholder buy-in, and ensuring scalability.
