product
Vör
Vör was created as an open source tool by Futurice to explore and prototype ways of creating more connected office experience. Vör allows people to communicate with each other and the office itself by providing real time situation awareness about surroundings such as who is near you, office temperature, air quality, or hot desk availability.
Beacons in conjunction with buttons, cameras and air quality sensors - communicate with employees’ phones over the office WIFI. As information about surroundings becomes available or changes, Vör's application displays it to users. Information that has been broadcast, such as birthday cake in the kitchen or someone making a killer pool shot and sharing it with others, is displayed in the app as a message card.
