Spatial, the leading VR/AR collaboration platform that allows people to work over distance as if in the same room, announced that in response to the Coronavirus pandemic, it’s opening up unlimited access to its premium services to everyone free of charge, for the coming months. In addition to access via major headsets, Spatial can now be used by the masses via a web version on your desktop or iPhone/Android, allowing anyone to enter a Spatial AR/VR meeting by simply clicking on a meeting link – no downloads required. The company is also announcing a much-improved experience and general availability of Spatial on the leading all-in-one VR headset today, Oculus Quest, previously only available in private beta.
The decision follows a 1,000 percent increase in broad-based interest from organizations trying to feel connected and productive while self-isolating. From today, users can sign up for free through the Spatial website.

“Now is a time when feeling connected is needed more than ever, and while video chat is great, it just doesn’t replace people collaborating in the same room,” said Spatial CEO Anand Agarawala. “Over the last few weeks we’ve seen a surge in interest for Spatial’s services, ranging from Fortune 1000s, to schools and hospitals, to SMBs. We really wanted to respond to the global need and make Spatial Enterprise freely available to serve as many people as possible as we all navigate new territory with home and work life.” Spatial CPO Jinha Lee added, “By opening up our immersive collaboration platform and allowing access on the devices people already have, we hope to connect more people in a way that isn’t confined by space, location, or even a pandemic.”
Spatial allows people to exchange ideas and iterate on documents and 3D models, unrestricted by a 2D screen. Executives, designers, engineers, salespeople, & marketers are all using Spatial to meet virtually with team members, accessing features that help immerse them into the shared experience with their remote co-workers. This is how work should be.
