With homebound workers, video conferencing is becoming an essential tool for workers to attend their jobs during confinement.
But little by little, users are realizing that video conferencing is not as good as it might initially seem compared to face-to-face meetings.
Participants overlap when they want to intervene, have problems with the camera, or the microphone of the laptop is coupled with the voices of others, not to mention latency when there are many users.
All these problems could be an advantage for companies that already use virtual reality (VR) in their applications for both companies and educational centers.

So now is the time for companies like the Spanish Virtway that has developed an application that allows the preparation of virtual meeting rooms up to 500 users and also through the mobile phone.
The operation in principle seems simple, it is enough to create an avatar and access it from the phone, to be able to participate in the meeting, raise your hand and even your middle finger if necessary.
At the moment it is being used in some companies to train workers in occupational safety issues and in some universities such as the University of La Rioja that uses it to carry out their masters.

If we also take into account that, after the pandemic, it will be practically impossible to meet more than half a dozen without problems, we will see how this technology extends to concerts, conferences and other social events.
Personally I am doubly happy because it is not very common to find the words innovation and Spanish in the same sentence, so, from here go my warmest congratulations.
