Virtual operations are becoming more popular as businesses realize the benefits of reducing cost of overhead, better collaboration and communication tools, and a decrease in operating expenses. While e-commerce and remote work are among the most popular applications of virtual space, it’s extending into new areas of development and delivery of services that benefit both the consumer and businesses.
Unlike traditional offices, which require space for collaboration and meetings virtual offices offer online platforms that simulate in-person interactions using live video conferencing, as well as collaborative document sharing. This is especially helpful for teams working remotely, with digital workspaces that remove the need for physical face-to-face interactions and reduces travel costs.
Other virtual spaces include social spaces where people socialize and interact, educational spaces, for example online classrooms, e-learning platforms, and gaming spaces, such as massive multiplayer online games (MMOs) or mobile apps. These spaces are often enhanced by virtual reality and AR to create immersive experiences.
Platform action is the logic running in the background to enable functionality. For example, in an e-commerce app like eBay it controls how users bid and pay for items. In tools for managing projects like Trello or Microsoft Teams, it regulates the way tasks are assigned and controlled. It is essential to create a robust platform actions in virtual space because it creates a seamless experience for both users and business stakeholders.
