Thomas Poppelgaard, CEO of Poppelgaard and Vice-President in TIFCA’s Board of Directors, showcased his latest demonstration of what the future of remote work and play could look like with mixed reality technologies.

In this case, Thomas ran a cloud-streamed version of Fortnite using Xbox Cloud Gaming alongside a Microsoft Windows 365 Cloud PC running through an HTML5 browser. Why was this so unique?

1. Both the experiences were being run simultaneously through the eyes of a Hololens 2 headset
2. The physical keyboard and mouse peripherals were both visible and usable
3. 100% of the experiences were cloud streamed through a 20mbit connection with 60ms latency.

Thomas will be speaking at the next Remote Work and Play Forum meeting. Contact us to learn more!

Last week’s International Future Computing Summit was a valuable gathering of the Remote Work and Play industry and CORA (Create Once Reach All) ecosystem.  Some notable organizations that spoke included HP and HP Anyware, AMD, Nvidia, Intel, Microsoft, Nutanix, Mythical Games, Panasonic, Beamr, Poppelgaard, Jon Peddie Research, Vega Cloud, Trusted Computing Group, Bit Space Development, Geogram, M2 Insights, AgTech OS, and more!

Remote Work and Play is the lifestyle choice of both enterprise and consumer end-users that need their computing experiences any place, any time, and on any device they may own. The remote work and play industry is represented by the organizations that make this lifestyle possible.

To meet the needs of this industry, TIFCA launched the Remote Work and Play Forum at The International Future Computing Summit. This forum acts as a conduit for growing business, enhancing customer and user experiences, and fostering new B2B relationships in this space.

The forum is planning its first gathering in Q1, 2023. Learn more here!

For employees and team members to be productive, they need access to the right tools and the computing resources to support them. This could be challenging for employers because hardware and software costs can be expensive, and it can be difficult for their IT departments to support a wide variety of client devices and configurations.
