Sinespace is among the few XR players with a solid track record of innovation over several years, despite the relative newness of this technology.
Its parent company, Sine Wave Entertainment was founded way back in 2006, since which time it has worked with the Smithsonian, Godrej, and other corporate giants. The company is primarily known for three things: an open-world platform for XR content creators, partnerships with gaming companies to power immersive games, and a collaboration platform – Breakroom – that is of special relevance to remote employees.
Today, we are going to review Breakroom by Sinespace and how it stacks up as a compelling VR collaboration solution. We also look at what else the company has to offer for companies looking to deepen their investments in VR for unified communications.
What are the Key Features of Breakroom by Sinespace?
Breakroom replaces your run of the mill virtual meetings with an immersive VR setting. It could be an auditorium, a boardroom, or a full-blown event location, depending on your needs. Here are its key features:
Compatibility with multiple environments
Breakroom already has an alpha release out for use on Windows, Mac OS, and Android devices. For tablet users, there is a beta version available and an iOS release is coming soon. Given that Breakroom is a browser-based app (with private, white-label data grids for enterprise use), you could expect compatibility with most major environments.
Webinar and event support
Breakroom truly shines when it comes to event use cases, with nifty features such as one-click groupfie photos, LinkedIn contact exchange, a virtual equivalent of live music, and the freedom to choose any avatar for your event attendee. Sinespace has already held events with around 3000 participants.
An impressive content library
While the underlying Sinespace platform lets developers create their own worlds from scratch, Breakroom comes with plenty of prebuilt content to help enterprises cut down on implementation time. There are amphitheatres, open plan/private offices, student common rooms, movie theatres, corporate headquarters, and explorable regions, with 1000+ virtual objects.
Collaboration capabilities
Breakroom is a direct competitor to existing conferencing tools, as it lets you send instant messages/emails, conduct VoIP calls, hold conferences, shrew your screen, send files – the whole nine yards. It even supports API-based integrations for the enterprise apps you already use.
What are the Benefits of Choosing Sinespace?
Sinespace perfectly balances ease of use with configurability. While Breakroom is a turnkey platform for your meeting and event needs, the underlying Sinespace technology lets you simulate virtually any environment you could dream of. The company also offers HIPAA compliant services for one-on-one therapy sessions, if you are in the healthcare sector.
How Much Will It Cost?
You can request a quote by registering for a demo of Breakroom. The Sinespace open-world platform (premium version) is available at $9.95 to $249.95 with a maximum of 100 concurrent users. Since 2018, Sinespace has raised £3.1 in funding, enabling further development and innovation across its product portfolio as it targets a more mature AR/VR product audience.
