Welcome back to closing balance, better news, everyone will get,
you need to know headlines just a moment.
But first let's take a look at our tech check
today we're taking a closer dive into the future of virtual and mixed reality.
Designed to be used to work
allowing you to interact with your co workers while doing a digital based project.
Better news,
senior reporter Michelle Castillo Leo was on the ground and CS to
check out the technology that can change the way we work in hybrid
and remote communities take a look.
The meta quest Pro is one of the pricier VR headsets on the market,
but its makers say it paves the way for how VR should be
and now I'm about to enter the metaverse with the meta
quest pro to see the future of how we may work.
Meta quest pro is highlighting mixed reality,
that means you can see the virtual world and
the real world at once chris who's filming right
now looks like a hologram and in the back I can see like a ghost like figure,
which I'm assuming is mike Wallace,
but unlike other VR devices, this one is designed to be used at work,
like allowing you to interact with your co workers while
doing a digital based project like on this program,
Archaeo.
So I can see like you know if you're an architect and you want to
see what you're building would look like and kind of what you would interact with,
you can't really build a model of this size but in this
digital world you can play with a lot of these options.
And VR headset apps like aura can make it a more immersive experience.
This is my avatar,
Nora, she's a girl with pink flower hair and a green face.
It's showing all your facial expressions so you can make your mouth really big
eyes big blink,
switch up your nose if you like. Okay, this is weird,
but it's like if I was an alien,
if my coworker is in a different city,
my avatar can journey through the metaverse to ask them a
question and we can feel like we are really interacting.
It's a small step to closing the distance,
especially for companies with hybrid or remote workers
at C. E. S in las Vegas.
I'm Michelle Castillo.
