2025 – the ways of working changed, technology brought new tools and possibilities with them. The times when we were sitting in front of computer doing job are over. VR is now a working routine, governments and corporations wanted to encourage fitness at work and as a result workflow includes a lot of physical activity, for instance instead of rotating the model on your screen you have to walk around.
