Glue Launches Next-Generation VR Collaboration Platform for Remote Workers and Dispersed Teams
Major new release from Nordic VR software maker brings significant new features and adds Oculus Quest compatibility
Glue Collaboration, the leader in collaborative, real-time VR software services, announced that it has developed the next generation of its VR-first collaboration platform, adding a host of new features as well as support for Oculus Quest headsets.
Glue provides shared virtual environments where dispersed participants can come together to learn, share, plan and create as if they were face to face in a real physical space. During the initial pilot phase over the past year, more than 200 organizations including leading corporations like HP, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Microsoft have experienced Glue as well as provided feedback that has been incorporated into the latest release.

“Given growing travel uncertainties, new cost-saving imperatives and the climate emergency, the need for remote collaboration tools that truly emulate the experience of being face to face with others has never been greater,” said Jussi Havu, CEO, Glue Collaboration. “Traditional audio and video conferencing tools fall short in providing such an experience as they lack true human presence and effective co-creation tools. Glue is a powerful alternative, and our new release provides the most feature-rich virtual environment yet for effective remote collaboration in both real time as well as asymmetrically.”
