VRE’s Engage platform allows non-verbal communications via its avatars, which mirror participants’ movements, from shaking hands to drawing on a white-board, and body language. It’s also trickier to simply tune out by switching off the camera during a video call. — Dreamstime/TNS
The days of lightly snoozing, trimming your nails or messily eating a sandwich during a conference call may be coming to an end, if VR Education Holding Plc, the best performer on Ireland’s benchmark stock Index in the first half of 2020, has its way.
The tiny Irish company’s shares more than doubled as home-schooling surged during the pandemic. Now, VRE is using its technology to target companies adopting remote working, training and conferences. Rather than traveling to a single location or dialing into a call, participants strap on a headset or access an app to be virtually placed in the same room.
