Virtual and Augmented Reality technologies are blurring boundaries between professions traditionally thought of as science/STEM based and professions traditionally thought of as arts based, providing a common medium to interact and collaborate, supporting the multi-disciplinary nature of the future workplace. Therefore, it is important to ask questions such as, how will individuals from different disciplines work together using these type of new technologies? how will these technologies affect traditional workflows, what can these new technologies offer and what are they capable of offering these future workplaces. In this presentation I will discuss some of the research work that I have conducted using Virtual and Augmented Reality through a designer’s perspective and answer some of these questions looking at the intrinsic characteristics of these technologies.
