In this episode we cover with Amar Bakshi, the founder of Shared_Studios, the common issues of virtual technology that plague modern day work. We dive into how Shared_Studios has created real-life experiences through portals, which are interconnected, immersive audiovisual spaces that bring people across the world live and full-body, as if in the same room. We discuss the impacts of connecting people virtually, the implications on having impactful conversations at work, and more importantly building trust and highly collaborative environments. The future of work doesn’t require minimum days in the office, but it does require a major upgrade to the video chat we use. Learn more at www.SharedStudios.com.
