In today’s world, remote work has become increasingly popular, and it’s essential to find ways to stay connected with your colleagues. That’s why creative business leaders like Elizabeth Bieniek are always on the lookout for innovative solutions to help remote employees collaborate more effectively. And boy, has she found an exciting way to do it!
Bieniek’s latest idea involves replacing the boring 2D screens that we’re all used to with an immersive 3D experience that’ll knock your socks off. I’m talking about virtual interaction that makes you feel like you’re in the same room as your coworkers, even if you’re miles apart. With her groundbreaking approach, Bieniek is taking remote work to a whole new level, and I’m excited to see where this technology takes us. After all, who wouldn’t want to collaborate with their team remotely the same as they would face-to-face?
It’s 2023, and we’re living in a digital world that’s full of exciting possibilities. With the pandemic forcing us to work remotely, we’ve had to get creative with the way we connect with each other. But that’s where technology comes in. With virtual and augmented reality, we can not only step into a virtual world that feels real, but in Bieniek’s case we can also bring virtual elements into our real-life space that feel just as real as the physical ones around us. Imagine having a meeting in your home office where you can interact with your remote colleagues as if they were right there with you. It’s like something out of a sci-fi movie, and it’s pretty awesome!
Elizabeth Bieniek is a name that’s synonymous with innovation and creative thinking. As the co-founder of Webex Hologram, she’s no stranger to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. And, according to her, anything is possible if you’re willing to put in the work.
“People will tell you, ‘it can’t be done.’ However, that just means it’s hard; other people have failed, or they don’t know how to do it,” says Bieniek. “BUT it doesn’t actually mean it can’t be done.”
With this mindset, Bieniek set out to tackle one of the biggest challenges facing remote workers today: the lack of connection and engagement with their colleagues. This challenge was recently highlighted in a new study, which found that 92% of U.S. executives believe that remote workers who frequently mute themselves or don’t appear on camera during virtual meetings “probably don’t have a long-term future at their companies.” After years of research and experimentation, she came up with a groundbreaking solution that’s set to change the way we think of working remotely.
“Remote work can be isolating and lonely, and I wanted to find a way to make it more human,” says Bieniek. “That’s why we developed a 3D immersive experience that brings remote teams together virtually in your own physical space, recreating that sense of togetherness that feels just like the real thing.”
According to Bieniek, the key to overcoming seemingly impossible challenges is to stay focused on the end goal and to never give up. “You have to be willing to put in the work and to keep pushing forward, even when everyone else says it can’t be done,” she says.
As an innovator, writer, speaker, and soon-to-be author, Bieniek is a true inspiration to anyone looking to make a difference in the world. And with her groundbreaking solution to remote work, she’s proving that anything is possible if you’re willing to think outside the box.
Imagine being able to bring your colleagues virtually into your own space, and feel like they’re truly there with you, rather than just staring at them on a flat screen. That’s the experience that Elizabeth Bieniek and her team at Webex Hologram are striving to provide. Our world is not flat, so why should our interactions be?
With that belief, Bieniek says, “When you use technology to add multidimensionality, whether that be something like holograms, or haptic interactions where you can touch and feel inside of a virtual interaction, those added dimensions are what I get excited about.”
She continues. “This is because you’re adding elements of normal human interaction to a technology experience. Right now I can see and hear you, but if I wanted to show you how something works or get inside something, it’s tough for me to convey spatial awareness of an object to you. But as soon as our technology gets closer to mirroring real life, and how we interact with the world around us, people get more engaged.”
With her unique perspective and drive to challenge conventional thinking, Bieniek is inspiring teams to achieve unprecedented results and push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of technology.
There’s something about being in the same room with someone that just can’t be replicated online. The energy, the body language, the human connection – it’s what makes face-to-face gatherings so special. But in a world where remote work is becoming more common, we have to find new ways to connect with each other virtually. The good news is that we have the technology to do it – we just need to use it in the right way. Rather than replacing in-person interaction, let’s use these new tools to enhance the way we connect online. Who knows – we might just discover new and exciting ways of collaborating that we never thought possible.
“I don’t ever see technology as a replacement for real life. It’s getting together with someone face to face, having a beer, shaking a hand; those kinds of interactions are what I call the Holy Grail of communication – you can never fully replace that,” says Bieniek. “But holograms might be the best substitute.”
In a world where technology is advancing at lightning speed, Elizabeth Bieniek stands out as a trailblazer, determined to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Her expertise in building empowered teams and delivering cutting-edge products has earned her a reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the technology space. With Webex Hologram, she’s taking remote collaboration to a whole new dimension, quite literally.
So if you thought your virtual meetings couldn’t get any more exciting, think again – Elizabeth Bieniek’s got you covered.
