Diego Gómez-Zará (University of Notre Dame) will give a presentation entitled "Examining the Effects of Virtual Reality on Team Creativity."
Abstract: The challenging business conditions over the past three years have accelerated a shift to remote work by normalizing working from home on a large scale. Current technological advances allow us to envision workplaces supported by Virtual Reality (VR). As such, understanding how VR can support (or hinder) workers becomes necessary for building organizational theories, policies, and guidance. In this talk, I will describe a preliminary study to examine how VR affects team creativity and processes.
