Hier erfahren Sie, wie Sie die Erwartungen Ihres Chefs im VR-Bereich erfüllen können.

In fact, it's important to try XR experiences with your boss, and ideally to try various ones, even those you won't produce in your company. Make clear difference between pre-calculated content or real time, Metaverse or gaming, LBE (Location Based Entertainment) or VR for home... Ideally you should attend an event together such as Laval Virtual or AWE to set a common culture.

There is always misunderstanding and mistakes on the road, even with the best project managers because VR is still experimental, we still need to innovate a lot. So do weekly reports, write everything down to make sure you understood one another well and go ahead. But let you boss know she should be flexible a little and be able to adapt and adjust quickly, like any innovation field.

The management of your company is not going to be excited by the latest tech trend if there is not a clear value behind it. So it's important that you explain to them why virtual reality is relevant for your business and which value can bring. Value may mean sparing money, being more efficient time-wise, making the team feel more cohesive, etc... To show this value, you can use existing use cases: many companies are using VR in their production processes, and many talk about the results they have obtained. Take these data and show them to your management: if these people obtained these results, you can obtain them too and VR can bring benefit to your business.

My expertise is more in the entertainment field, indeed social VR, aka metaverse can serve for several reasons a non VR company: - Do team buildings / meetings in VR world, in VRChat for example it's a great ice breaker - Attend virtual events together - You can use social VR or gaming or Metaverse platforms for your marketing and to reach new audiences. That's a huge topic but you can place your brand as a sponsor, a product placement through 3d object or gamification within the virtual event. - And of course you can familiarize yourself with some manipulation, objects, places you can't go or reach in real life.

Effective concise communication is definitely what would make or break you. Each task and completion timeline should be communicated properly. Blockers should be quickly highlighted and everyone involved in the project should be tagged so there's no room for misalignment in the team you're working with.

Any experienced producer will advise you to allocate 20% of your budget for unforeseen errors. You need to have a strong capacity to adapt and change your plans like in many innovation industry. Don't forget, that's a mistake we did a long time with my ex-company, testing time. To allocate few days / weeks to test properly your project before launch and make no change anymore. That's very tricky to do in some industries, but crucial.
