Since the COVID-19 pandemic, our group meets online once a week using different virtual group meeting platforms. We have tested different platforms, different technologies, and different use cases. The screenshot shows one of our latest meetings in Spatial developed by our cooperation partner spatial.io. We used a hybrid meeting setup in which members of the group participate with VR or AR head-mounted displays, whereas others use a web browser via their laptops or PCs.

Last year, we have performed a first pilot study during the lock-down to evaluate the differences between non-immersive and immersive virtual group platforms.
