Collaboration in XR: Workspaces Without Walls

Work no longer happens at a desk—and collaboration no longer needs a room. Collaboration in XR: Workspaces Without Walls explores how extended reality reshapes the way people think together, build together, and solve problems across distance.
This book focuses on collaboration as a spatial experience. It examines how shared presence, co-manipulation of objects, and embodied interaction change group dynamics in ways video calls never could. The emphasis is not on replacing offices, but on expanding what collaboration can be when space becomes flexible and persistent.
Readers are guided through how XR workspaces support focus, context-sharing, and creative flow, while also introducing new challenges around attention, fatigue, and inclusion. The book balances possibility with realism, showing where XR collaboration excels—and where it still struggles.
You will explore:
• Why shared spatial presence changes teamwork
• How XR enables co-creation beyond screens
• Where virtual workspaces outperform physical ones
• How to design collaboration without overload
• Why trust and presence matter in remote work
This book is for teams, designers, and leaders rethinking how work happens. If collaboration should feel more human across distance—not more fragmented—this book shows how XR builds workspaces without walls.
