Virtual 3D-worlds for business come back: Timvi

About 7 years ago the idea to bring virtual 3D worlds to business meetings emerged on the IT market. Some start-ups appeared and even Second Life opened the enterprise version of its virtual world. But then global economic crisis began and companies had no time to test the new toys. The 3D worlds for business were sent to the deadpool. Maybe their second coming will be more successful. Russian company Avrorus recently introduced their new platform Timvi - the virtual business center, where any company can build own 3D office or conference room of any size and use it for meetings with partners, customers or staff training. 3D office - is just an environment for online meetings. During the meeting, you can use the usual tools: video, voice, chat, screen sharing, online presentations. Why do you need this environment?

There are at least two reasons. First - is advertising. When you open your virtual world - news sites and bloggers will write about it. Just like the video above is advertising Jabra thanks to its new virtual office.

Second reason - your company image. It will be easier to sell something or establish partner relations if you impress your guests by the cool 3D-meeting.
