"The Science of Successful Hybrid Working"

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the move towards hybrid working in science, with researchers studying the impact of remote and hybrid work on productivity and innovation. Studies suggest that while remote workers claim to be happier and more productive, teams working in close proximity tend to produce higher-grade, more innovative results. Remote collaboration has been found to be less likely to lead to breakthrough discoveries, with in-person encounters and spontaneous interactions fostering creativity. Ongoing improvements in technology may help address some challenges of remote work, but there is no single solution that optimizes all aspects of scientific work.

"AR and VR: Revolutionizing Video Meetings"

Tech companies are exploring the potential of virtual and augmented reality (XR) to improve remote collaboration and alleviate the downsides of video meetings in the modern hybrid workplace. While widespread adoption of XR in knowledge-work offices has not materialized, companies like Glue Collaborations, Naer, and Arthur Technologies are finding success in using XR for training and improving meeting experiences. However, barriers such as cost, comfort, and the need for further understanding of the technology's effects on humans still exist. Despite these challenges, companies remain optimistic about the potential for XR to play a larger role in the future of remote work.

The Impact of Remote Work on Collaborative Breakthroughs

A study analyzing millions of research papers and patent applications suggests that research teams based in the same location are more likely to achieve disruptive breakthroughs compared to remote teams. While remote collaboration allows for greater collective knowledge, the lack of full integration hinders engagement in conceptual tasks necessary for foundational discoveries. The study found that as collaboration distance increased, the probability of disruption decreased. The decline in breakthrough innovation and research productivity in recent years supports these findings. Further research is needed to understand why and how remote teams produce less disruptive research.

Google Meet introduces new features for on-the-go meetings.

Google Meet is adding support for whiteboard cameras, starting with the Logitech Scribe, to allow remote meeting participants to see what is being drawn on a meeting room whiteboard. The Logitech Scribe is the first certified device with additional partnerships being explored. This feature is available to all Google Workspace customers with Google Meet hardware kits with touch controller support and Google Meet hardware devices that have not yet reached their auto-update expiration date.
