I observe what could be the future of work in a skyscraper in San Francisco, poised on a leather couch in a T-shirt as a transparent, watching the man with no legs. The man is allowing Jacob Lowenstein, head of the space sector, a software company, the meeting via holograms 3-dimensional images. Though it is in New York, a hologram of him a few meters appear before me in San Francisco, his face and hair a bit ‘ruffled a 3D image of the photos that I see ahead of LinkedIn, the blue T-shirt, sign which is the same ease any clothing technology workers. When I turn my head, which is decorated in an augmented reality headset big, I see a tablet that keeps Loewenstein, who hands it to me. When I try to grab it, but I rosae lines through the air draw at the end, however, I accidentally a drawing tool in the application instead allows the instrument that my should allow locking to detect an object. Other staff room looking even wear headphones in the San Francisco office into a 3D model of the Martian surface. “When people teleport in 3D space, you can really feel that they are like someone in the same room, and they share the room” Jinha Lee, Spatial says co-founder. Of course, it is obvious that the image of Loewenstein is an avatar; even if he hangs on my height, your body burns off her hips should be, and I can in the San Francisco office to see a plant against the wall by his torso. We come punches when presented to us, but I do not feel anything when the images meet our hands. At one point, when I look away, it seems that with one eye that Loewenstein will be swallowed by the Mars model. When you give a thumbs-up with someone on a screen, his arm looks like two rays clumsily glued together; when he speaks, his teeth white glow green. are “Teeth., .not great” space co-founder Anand Agarawala had said when a computer my picture has a 3D avatars to create session: a dark version without a smile on my face that looks like me a sip of sour milk they have. Spatial trying to solve a problem that more and more companies require crown from the age of anxiety increasingly important that employees working from home can be difficult to connect with people, if you are not in the same room, In this way, the same challenges as other tech remote working applications will attempt to look at the company, it actually works. The number of people working from home this week has risen dramatically. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, has recommended that all employees in North America, Europe, Africa and Middle East at home working out, to April 10, Amazon every staff member told the world that are away from home to work can to make this up to the end of March. Other technology companies including Twitter, Microsoft and Apple have asked employees to work from home, as have dozens of other small businesses. Spatial Technology says its remote employees staring released on giant heads into small rectangles, and video conferencing and allows them to see things in a more realistic way, and from many angles; Mattel, for example, has used spatially 3D toy designer toys upload images to other feedback to give. The Real Estate Group BNP has taken advantage of the 3D world of purchases of development models to see, meet so that agents, in addition to a plot and looks at me from the same angle. It is updated here with our daily newsletter crown. There are several companies who feel increasingly remote work more like the work on site trying to do, and I am in popularity as the number of cases increased COVID-19 victories. Zoom, the company’s videoconferencing software almost saw its share price has doubled over the last month and it was the most downloaded app on Apple iOS this week. Microsoft teams working video chat, messages and sharing documents, has seen an increase of 500 percent in the number of meetings, phone calls and conferences on teams to China from January 31 Slack allows team members to chat to nothing Time may the day of its instant messaging software. Google said it would on meeting Hangout video conferencing software and Google Classroom, do logon teachers can handle the course. But there is something unique that people come together to interact, the not so good through technology meets. “They are the distances,” says Thalia Wheatley, a professor of psychological sciences at Dartmouth and the brain, which examines the difference between the face-to-face and online interaction. “In the face-to-face communication, you will share a moment in time and space with someone,” he says. “This is incredibly compelling for our old brains.” Experienced in fact, there is a reason for companies such as Best Buy, Yahoo and Aetna all with remote work in recent years before employees back to the office distance communication is easy not say the same. Perhaps the reason was WeWork has been able to raise capital as investors realized that teleworkers would rather not stay at home all day. WeWork needed a “better than home” to create the experience, a place where people would prefer to be during working hours, as opposed to at home or in a coffee shop, the company said in 2019. “As for oder home, work places Dritte is convenience, this experience for a sense of community, the basic human need was missing, “the company said. Scientists still puzzle out why the person communication is higher, says Wheatley, but his lab found some clues. The largest number of contact points in the eyes during a call, for example, are more in sync with each other. The current state of video calls, in which is fixed in a very small point that the camera looking at your computer or phone to make it look like you have someone in mind, this experience can not be repeated. People trust you more if you share a meal together from the same plate instead of eating from individual plates, he says, and the brain becomes unstable with insulation. More social isolation, such as isolation in prisons, with a risk of 26 per cent of premature death is connected, and studies have shown that shrinks the hippocampus, the part of the learning-related brain, memory and awareness space. Some scientists estimate that the loneliness of a shorter life person of 15 years corresponds to smoke 15 cigarettes a day. “I think it is not only that every social interaction and the parties and so on love,” said Wheatley. “I think it is important for our mental and physical health.” In one study they were asked to perform a stressful task people: prepare a five-minute speech and complete a verbal arithmetic in front of an audience to occur. Each is entering personal support or SMS support. Luckily you felt after completing the operation, if they had received the support person. “It was not bad sms, it’s just that it was still not as good as in the support person,” says Susan Holtzman, professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia and one of the study authors. The human visual cues to benefit a smile friend like to see what makes them smile, she says. Also read audio alerts; One study found that levels were higher than a binding hormone in mothers and daughters who declined to speak on the phone, as mutually sms. Another noted that in the same room with a loved one can relieve pain. “The thing that resolved to get on the technical side,” says Wheatley, “the nature of the technology needs disappear, so you think you are in the room.” But there are still big differences between people in the same room and people work together remotely. First, it is much easier to multitask when you are working away on the phone while you reply to a message Slack when searching recipes for dinner, for example, and not the people your full attention. This behavior is difficult to hide in a local meeting where the eyes are required to focus on colleagues or anyone to talk. video conferencing software such as zoom has not yet found a good way to let people you’re looking in the eyes of the distance. Apple has tried with some experiment, called FaceTime Warning correction to match the appearance of the eyes you, even if you do not make it seem like you’re looking into the camera itself. People have evolved shake hands and meet, even if the disease spreads, says Wheatley, so there must be something useful for them. However, with every crisis he calls the remote work to increase growth. And ‘success in 2001, had as many are afraid to leave their homes after the terrorist attacks of September 11, would be the Washington Post predicted “to another level push telecommuting.” It ‘happened in 2008, when gas prices spiking his people go forth to make, and one analyst told the Los Angeles Times that Americans “made lasting changes in their behavior” to avoid any commute. Even before the specter of the crown, the Wall Street Journal, predicted that the high cost would live in coastal cities such as San Francisco and New York, the young readily move small distances cities like Genoa and labor workers. Kris Hammes fact that in the UK. Hammes, now 35, was living an hour from London with his wife and son, and spend much of the day commuting. He missed his son saw grow. So the family in a small town in the north of England and Hammes, who moved into the gaming industry works, went free. He does not like to commute and spend more time with his son, but he has started taking measures personal interactions he had with colleagues in the office. He is found to be a hermit like his social circle shrinks; he is not going to the bar with friends to meet. Sometimes you find yourself with the cashier at the grocery store a long talk just to hook up with someone standing next to his wife and son. “Speaking of himself introverted needs,” says Hammes. “You can still do it on Slack or discord, but it’s not the same thing. Typing LOL it is not the same as actually laugh out loud.” There are times when I lose track of the days because I have not spoken to anyone and not He had been out there. For people who live alone, the reality of distance work can be even bleaker. David Mason, who lives in Arizona, do the work for a video game company in Texas. When he is alone, he tries to go to the mall or take a walk outside, but lives alone, and sometimes it feels like it is lost in his own world. “There are times when I lose track of the days because I have not spoken to anyone and not been out,” says Mason. A 2016 Gallup poll shows that about 43 percent of workers were at a distance in some way, even if only a few hours per month, compared with 39 percent in 2012. Holtzman says with these kinds of numbers, it is important from a distance – Work to make it feasible. He is interested in studying whether gif, emoji and memes that help people to express how they feel, a more effective way of communication can be. But even people who are video calling all day and eventually lost in the office small interactions feel connected; talking about the weather or a joke about his need for coffee, Holtzman says. “We are inherently social creatures,” he says. “These little interactions are to improve our sense of how we are connected and belong to something bigger.” This is what I noticed something in my visit to the space; when I arrived in San Francisco office, I made two in person chat with Agarawala, co-founder, we joked about the commuters on a nearby street in a traffic jam could see. I felt like I knew him better than a lot of Lowenstein, I met only via hologram. Some managers try to make remote connections and, if not better, than in person collaboration. Robert Fenton founded a company called Qualio in 2014 in his hometown of Dublin, Ireland, and in 2016 he moved to San Francisco for access to risk capital. As he expanded the company, for the software of the company’s life sciences compared builds, Fenton found that it was easier to rent quickly if it is not necessary that the workers of San Francisco or Ireland to be. He dedicated people in Colorado, Florida and began to find out how people connect, even if they were all long. Now Qualio has more than 30 employees around the world to spread. People have video calls over Zoom everyday and gossip about Slack channels on fitness and music and other hobbies. The company uses an application called donut, encourages employees one-to-one remote sessions via a virtual donut or coffee to have to get to know each other. A couple of times a year, Qualio used to have money spent on it would maintain offices every few employees of flying fun and work together after she went for a week in Dublin, and soon they’re scheduled to go to Portugal. Workers were initially link for people they never met in person concerned had, he says, but it quickly became clear that they had met in good line. “Each team has weekly meetings, and we huddle every day, and we have monthly meetings and quarterly basis,” says Fenton. “So everything has touched all the whole day.” He says his staff Fenton pick up from school and get their children will be able to love. They have known their observation homes during a video conference; Fenton has a cat often, for example, sleep behind him on the couch, and a ukulele on his wall. People sign up for video conferencing which begins only idle chat and have fond memories of all companies have in-person meetings, he says. He argues that the importance of meeting someone in person is overrated; People can understand the language of the wrong body, and can even in a personal meeting are dreaming. Fenton says that the distance of interaction with people is different, but not necessarily worse than meet them in person. “It ‘s like learning a new language is not complicated language, just different,” he says adapt to long-distance communication. “And when you come to understand the difference, we noticed that people adapt very natural.” This is the argument that space does, too. Agarawala, co-founder, says that rolls as 5G, augmented reality will be faster and less glitches. Nreal, a technology company that cooperates with the space, this year will leave the headset AR “Light,” which looks more like a pair of sunglasses to current headphones and spatial says the adoption of remote working speed, Si It is already working on spatial functions to enhance the experience of collaboration; when people say a word, they can bring up the room, the discussions can focus. Spatial is also working on simulated flashes and synchronization of lips avatars faithful to make it look. The company has seen a surge of interest since begun spreading crown Lee says, but even if the crown goes away, says that the tools work from a distance, as space will take on the world of work. They are much more crisis to fight Lee says climate change. If people are working remotely, both buildings have the smallest carbon footprints and people will not have to fly to hit around the world. Holographic meeting of the world would help reduce carbon, says Lee. Whether that will lead to an increase in solitude, it is another matter. Photo copyright David L. Ryan Boston Globe / Getty Images
