Video calls have become a staple of the modern office, and they’re not going anywhere anytime soon. Companies like Meta want you to think mixed reality or virtual reality might make these meetings easier to stomach, but we all know those technologies don’t quite feel ready yet.
A meeting takes place in what Mobeus calls Glasstop, which is a workspace that brings to mind the AR interfaces seen in science fiction films. That means my desktop seemed to hover between me and the people I was chatting with, hand gestures could interact with the screen, and I could type and draw in glowing colors to emphasize a point or highlight an onscreen detail.
The most immersive experience is at 50% translucency so you can see both the screen being shared and the people that are speaking in a large full-screen view. The idea is to make a meeting, even with dozens of attendees feel more personal. AR Features without extra hardware Beyond the translucent Glasstop and a three-way split view of speakers, there are thoughtful extras throughout the software. The real magic comes with some clever AR features. Hand gestures are recognized and this works with regular computer webcams. A presenter can raise a hand to see it outlined on the screen and the virtual hand can be used to highlight parts of the screen or move from one slide to the next.
