It's well suited when reaching a general population who's not too tech-savvy and isn't well integrated with the current VR ecosystem. To get into Google VR all you need is a Google Cardboard and a phone with the supported software. The setup for an Oculus and other devices really takes a lot of time to set up and equipment. That's Google VR's greatest factor.

Microsoft Application Server has been incredible this past year during COVID. Previously I would have said that we could go without it, but after this past season, I’m glad we have utilized it. Without having this software set up prior to COVID, we would have been in a tough situation. I mention COVID a lot because we were able to continue our work almost seamlessly this entire year.

I have found Microsoft Application Server to be incredibly easy to use. I have used dozens of similar programs and have always struggled to navigate through all the functions. So far I have been able to adapt and learn this software with ease. I rarely run into a problem that I wasn’t easily able to move forward on with a few tips.

Stability is one of the first things we consider when evaluating software. MS Application Server has been rock solid and has reduced the time that our IT staff dedicates to maintaining our legacy applications.

Google VR lets us use Google lens. Google lens is the best way to find a certain place, object, or thing in a live form. We can a ticket, and using scanning the barcode using google lens tells us the arrival and departure. We can copy a text and paste it onto our laptop screen. We can try any outfit virtually and look if it's in our room.

It has a similar feature to what Microsoft Application Server has but at a greater cost and also having to deal with another vendor when we could use a full Microsoft Stack for better training and support.

  • Our ROI has been great since it has enabled our IT staff to have a central location to perform application updates which enables us to save time and money.
  • Deployment is very easy since the internal applications that required constant updating are now updated in one central location.
  • It's a lot easier to be within compliance protocols requirements.
