On this episode, I welcome Devon Copley CEO of Imeve & developer of AVATOUR, a new communications technology that is helping tech-forward companies respond to COVID-19 travel restrictions. Devon has more than 20 years of experience in online media and VR.
The AVATOUR remote presence platform employs the latest virtual reality technology to transport users to a remote location in real-time, providing a new and effective substitute for travel during times like this.
This technology is allowing businesspeople who find themselves unable to visit plant facilities worldwide.
“As more companies and countries limit or halt travel, businesses worldwide are being forced to find remote working solutions. Videoconferencing platforms like Zoom and Skype can replace a conference room, but until now, there was no substitute for location-dependent meetings like facility walkthroughs, site inspections, and site-specific training,” said Imeve CEO Devon Copley.
Using AVATOUR to visit a location alongside someone thousands of miles away feels more like an in-person visit than a videoconference. This is a perfect solution for manufacturing suppliers who are unable to visit their manufacturing customers during the coronavirus.
