Revolutionizing remote collaboration with patented immersive VR
The shift to remote and hybrid work models has brought unprecedented flexibility but also significant challenges: declining productivity, increased turnover, and diminished team morale. Companies struggle to maintain the natural cohesion and dynamic interactions that define effective in-person collaboration.
Aequilibrium recognized this critical need and developed AgileVR, a patented solution designed to tackle these very challenges head-on. By simulating in-person collaboration within a virtual environment, AgileVR fosters stronger team cohesion, enhances team dynamics, and keeps distributed team members engaged and connected, regardless of their physical location.

Our Challenge
- Rekindling Collaboration and Productivity in Distributed Teams
- Remote and hybrid teams often struggle with critical collaboration barriers that directly impact business outcomes:
- Disengagement: How do you keep distributed team members feeling connected and engaged when physical presence is absent?
- Productivity dips: How can you maintain the fluid communication and spontaneous problem-solving that drive efficiency in co-located teams?
- Meeting inefficiencies: How can industry-standard Agile ceremonies (like daily standups or sprint planning) be replicated effectively to ensure full participation and accurate estimations without the biases of in-person settings?
- Maintaining morale: How do you foster team cohesion and a sense of shared purpose when interactions are largely through 2D screens?
- We aimed to create a solution that not only addressed these issues but transformed them into opportunities for superior remote collaboration.
Enter Aequilibrium.
Our Solution
AgileVR – Immersive, Intuitive, and Patented Collaboration
Our patented AgileVR solution is an immersive virtual reality platform accessible via Meta Quest headsets. It recreates the essence of a physical office, enabling natural and effective collaboration for distributed teams.
How AgileVR Works:
- Seamless Entry: Users log in, customize their avatars, select their team and project, and enter a dedicated virtual reality office space.
- Industry-Standard Agile Ceremonies: AgileVR supports key Agile ceremonies, including daily standups, sprint planning, and backlog refinement.
- Dynamic JIRA Integration: In a standup Agile room, users are greeted by a JIRA Agile board displaying live tickets alongside the avatars of all present team members, creating an immediate sense of shared context.
- Enhanced Collaboration Features: Teams can discuss JIRA tickets as if in the same room, with anonymous voting for unbiased estimation that encourages all team members to contribute confidently without pressure.
- Centralized Wristband Management System: A convenient virtual wristband allows users to check time, mute/unmute microphones, change room layouts, send emojis/reactions, and access other essential controls, maintaining a fluid user experience.
Key Features & Outcomes
- Measurable Gains in Engagement and Productivity: AgileVR has demonstrated significant positive impacts on team dynamics and operational efficiency, with an 18% increase in team engagement and 21% increase in workflow productivity.
- Canadian Patent Protection: We secured a Canadian patent for our innovative interactive visualization of agile management data systems, recognizing AgileVR as unique intellectual property in the collaboration space.
- International Recognition: AgileVR was showcased at the 2022 Immerse Global Summit in Miami and presented at the World Credit Union Conference in Boston, reaching 3,000 financial services executives.
- Industry Validation: Over 30 live demos have earned AgileVR recognition both internationally and by Meta as a valuable tool for Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) teams.
