Entry 12: Beta Testing

The Glimpse Group has a lot of VR technology that must constantly be tested for new and potential clients. Majority of the time, the VR team will need help with some beta testing. Usually volunteers from other departments would help out and do some beta testing. I liked to volunteer to see what was the latest and greatest in the company.

Typical day with some beta testing

On this particular day, the VR from Foretell Reality team needed help testing to see how many people can be in one virtual room. The more people, the stronger the VR connection needs to be. The goal was to have 10 people in one virtual room and be able to communicate through the headset and see each other’s avatar while in the room without any glitches.

The testing proved there needed to be some updating to the code as many of the avatars appeared broken and entering the virtual room wasn’t as smooth as it could be, but they were successful in getting 9 people into the virtual room. Progress!

Here’s a LinkedIn post on The Glimpse Group’s page about that day of beta testing
