Information Week: Qwaq Brings Virtual Reality To Enterprise Collaboration: “Qwaq nails the trifecta of hip IT technologies: It’s a software-as-a-service offering that combines enterprise collaboration with an interface like Second Life. Users create avatars and meet in a virtual 3-D environment to share and edit documents and use corporate applications… Qwaq augments enterprise collaboration with Qwaq Forums, 3-D virtual environments that let avatars interact with co-workers, create and edit documents, and use applications. CEO Nuyens says 3-D is more than just slick graphics. “The fact that you give a team a place that exists is extremely significant. You get social transactions. It builds trust among team members.” Qwaq lets you upload, share, and edit documents, such as Word files or PowerPoint slides, with co-workers. It also lets you run applications inside Qwaq Forums. For example, doctors in different locations could use a medical imaging application inside a Forum. Users also can launch Firefox in a Forum to browse the Web. Qwaq offers a SaaS option or an appliance deployed behind your enterprise firewall. The appliance version is required if you want to run applications inside a Forum”.
