The cloud giant has tested its Meet for Glass app in data centres, given the reliance on on-site maintenance, allowing for repair work to be carried out by a single on-site\u00a0engineer with the support of others watching virtually.<\/p>\n<p>With the Meet for Glass integration, users can connect with a remote team and diagnose issues, review physical equipment, and potentially train employees without being in the same place.\u00a0Google suggests\u00a0this is far easier than simply connecting via a laptop or &#8220;bulky&#8221; webcam as it lets technicians work hands-free and gives the remote participants an optimal view of any situation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our mission has never been more critical than in today&#8217;s remote work environment,&#8221; the company said in a blog post. &#8220;Many businesses are adapting to new policies and procedures that keep workers safe. As a result, on-site essential workers &#8211; those whose roles cannot be carried out remotely \u2013\u00a0have had to pivot the ways they work and collaborate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is an idea that Microsoft worked on with the very first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itpro.co.uk\/hardware\/34697\/microsoft-hololens-2-hands-on-review-a-flash-of-things-to-come\"  data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.itpro.co.uk\/hardware\/34697\/microsoft-hololens-2-hands-on-review-a-flash-of-things-to-come\">HoloLens<\/a> demos in 2015, using the Skype app to video call a walkthrough for fixing a light switch.
