Challenges In remote working environments1. Isolation
Remote employees in the U.S. often feel isolated from their team, which is the most significant drawback.
2. Limited Office Culture
Over 60% of hybrid employees rely on their direct managers for their connection to company culture.
3. Lack of Interpersonal Relations
Remote work leads to primarily task-based and formal interactions, with few casual conversations like those at the office water cooler.
Limited workplace interactions have hampered professional development opportunities for remote employees.
4. Stunted Professional Growth
The office environment for remote workers has been reduced to screens with the same UI as emails, with physical interaction limited to typing on the keyboard and clicking the mouse.
5. Screen Only Interaction

INTRODUCing reworkRework is a console designed for remote working teams to enhance communication, collaboration, and navigation in the virtual office space. It introduces a tactile and physical element to daily office interactions. The system includes three consoles for navigating and communicating within the digital office. Additionally, a desktop application provides a 3D representation of office interactions, making remote work more connected and engaging.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONconsole 1
Console 1 is the rounded square that provides a snapshot of the office and your colleagues in real time. It shows which colleagues have logged into work, which room of the office they are in, and the communication status of each person, indication weather they are busy or available for texts or calls.

To log in or out of the virtual workspace use the access key and place it in either the “My Desk” position or the “Away” position. The access key also has three buttons to convey your communication status to your colleagues.
