Abstract:

VR (Virtual Reality) is characterized by the illusion of participation in a synthetic environment rather than external observation of such an environment. VR relies on three-dimensional (3D), stereoscopic, head- tracked displays, hand/body tracking and binaural sound, VR is an immersive, multi- sensory experience[1]. It may be that with the development of high technologies in the field of virtual reality this technology will get place in our lives and provide people with a huge, almost infinite space for the conduct of any business.

Abstract:

The last decade has seen a growing interest in virtual communities (VCs) as a way of transferring and generating knowledge within organisations (Michaelides et al., 2010). The MySpace phenomenon and the increased use of VCs by large international organisations such as IBM and Procter and Gamble (P&G) confirms the importance of VCs in today's society and the global economy. The holistic approach of using modern Internet tools and technologies with social networks presents both opportunities and challenges in the modern era (Tickle et al., 2007). A VC can be defined as a community of people with

With the changing workplace, employees can now work remotely or across different locations and still be expected to work together.
