As organizations continue to iterate on distributed and hybrid workforce models, the methodologies used to integrate new talent require urgent evolution. The traditional reliance on static presentations and solitary video modules often fails to convey the nuances of organizational culture, leading to early disengagement. Addressing this critical operational challenge, our Co-Founder Alex Levin recently authored a feature for Training Magazine titled "Onboarding Is Broken: Can Spatial Computing Fix It?"
In the piece, Levin dissects the limitations of current orientation practices. He argues that standard digital tools frequently result in isolation and abstraction, preventing new hires from forming meaningful connections with their remote colleagues or understanding complex workflows. The absence of physical proximity creates a void that 2D screens struggle to fill.
The article advocates for the strategic implementation of Spatial Computing—including virtual, augmented, and mixed reality—as a remedy for these engagement gaps. By leveraging immersive environments, companies can simulate the tactile and social dimensions of a physical office. This approach allows employees to interact with 3D assets and collaborate within shared virtual spaces, fostering a genuine sense of presence and belonging.
This perspective aligns closely with the work our teams deliver across Strategy Consulting and Applied Innovation. We frequently partner with clients in the High Tech and Luxury sectors to translate such emerging technologies into practical business value. Levin’s insights underscore the importance of moving beyond novelty to solve fundamental human resource and operational problems.
Furthermore, the publication highlights that successful adoption requires more than just hardware. It demands a holistic ecosystem involving robust IT infrastructure, intentional content design, and sophisticated change management. Our Product Design experts consistently apply these principles to ensure that digital transformations enhance, rather than complicate, the user experience.
We invite you to explore the full analysis to understand how immersive technology is redefining talent retention and corporate education.
