Here are a few frequently asked questions.  If you don't want to look thru this ever-expanding list or if you have any other questions or just want to CONTACT US to respond to some of these positions, please do, we would love to hear from you!  If you are interested in the XR vocabulary here is a great resource and and here are a few thoughts from our side:

What do you mean by "GENDERLESS"? Besides balls and boobs, is it REALLY a differentiator? I don’t think so. And as a small company, run by a stealth crew, we think that treating humans as humans and using the they, them, their pronouns that we lean into this perspective. Bringing a baby into our home is not any different for cis-men vs cis-woman. Obviously, HAVING testicles is VERY different than having ovaries and presenting as a female body shape in America is RADICALLY different that presenting to the outside world with a Male Body Shape but in the Wonderful World of Extended Reality (ie Wb3.0); this is a very wide Spectum of shapes, feelings and biology. I suspect you know what I am talking about.

How do I choose my Sindy AVATAR? Very carefully. Here is our current recommendations starting with Ready Player Me and SindyDROIDs as excellent options.

What does it matter if I look like my ‘real"‘ self? Really?!?>> Is the deep fake acceptable to you? I think we are at the precipice of the Ice Age and The Great Depreesion COMBINED as The Metaverse and The Singularity are pushing society to

What do you mean by “CREATIVES"? We built our game to emphasize team play with the belief that everyone is a Creative; anyone who is on the hunt for an new angle, a different point of view (POV) or way of thinking with the intention of using that cutting edge POV to make better work. syn. progressive, intellectually curious…everything is more sustainable if you have your team along for the journey.

What does MINDFULNESS have to do with it? Absolutely Everything.  By bringing my attention to the bottoms of my feet and/or my breathing, we believe that you are able to be a more EFFECTIVE & EFFICIENT Teammate.   

How do you decide what is more or less effective?  We don't really mean to decide, we want to help you and your teammates decide so we compile TANGIBLE data from CONNECTED DEVICES and INTANGIBLE data gathered through the answers to the 20 questions and facilitate you to compare them with your TEAM's stated goals and defined values.

What is a SindyCUBE? Our CUBEs are a metaphor for the perfect collaboration space where teams can have everything they need to succeed no matter what device they are using. One client described it as six PINTREST boards stitched together.

What is CHECK YO SELF? This is our mobile app intended to be played along with your CUBE Project, Zoom call and any communication with your team. It has six 20 Questions games inside the app. Each question has six answers rated along a quantitative value of engagement, stress, comfort, motivation, attitude, awareness, instinct, vision and intuition. 

Is there an ANDROID version of the app yet? Yes! you can now select the right app for your current device here.

AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) Common Questions:

What is Augmented Reality? At Sindy we are functioning in the new “spatial computing” decade postCOVID and define AR as any pane of glass that adds info to your current space for example how Google Maps augments how you drive. See our AR Kit for a few of the latest devices we love.

What makes for a higher SCORE? We value exercise, the sun, patience, location of engagement, resting heart rate, percentage change in blood pressure and anything that brings your attention to your heart and mind health. Read our XR Healthcare white paper for more specifics and if you would like to apply to be a contestant in an upcoming SPARK Challenge we would welcome your feedback.

What are JabbRGems? As with every good game, you deserve a reward and GEMS demonstrate what a fantastic player you are and are redeemable for XR Gear in our e-Commerce Store

Why are JabbRGems distinguished from POINTS on the app? The score is raw data from the game you played, GPS location and length of play time. JabbRGems are awarded based on a number of factors from the amount of water you drank by the time you played to what you felt your stress level was at the same exact moment.

What are CONNECTED DEVICES? Sindy is partnered with a curated set of businesses that are ALIGNed with our mission. These businesses are often selected by our teams because they make something we could use to enhance our collaboration in our creative lives.  So our Mobile APP, Check Yo Self, connects to the devices around you in the INTERACTIVE ROOM. See here for the most up-to-date CONNECTED DEVICES we have built into our CUBES

How does Sindy define a WEARABLE? A wearable, often called “wet” wear, is a device such as a FitBit, Polar or Apple iWatch. See here for a wearable package that might be perfect for you and your team.

How does Sindy define a TRACKABLE? A trackable, often called a “smart” device, is distinguished from a wearable in that it is not attached to you but it is

What is a SENSORIAL ELEMENT? Better known as ‘PIN’s, these are thumbnails that you can pin to the walls of your SindyCUBE.

VIRTUAL REALITY (VR) Common Questions:

What is Virtual Reality? Virtual Reality is an immersive experience where you can suspend your disbelief and completely engage without distraction from your physical environment. This is most effectively achieved by a HMD (head mounted display). See our favorite head gear where you can be inside your SindyCUBE with your team.

How do I find the SindyVR app? Find the best app for your device here

Which headsets can I MeetUp in my Sindy CUBE? Oculus2, PICO Neo2 and HP Reverb2

Why is my avatar abstract? Until really real visualization of our human form is available in VR, Sindy avatars are stressing the functional aspects of our UX.

PHYSICAL REALITY (FR) Common Questions:

What is Physical Reality? If VR is an immersive environment where we can all gather distinctly separately from where we are then we must define where we are right now as physical reality and since PR seemed to be taken by “public relations”, we chose to misspell is as fhysical! and when you combine AR + VR + FR = XR (eXtended Reality) which is now widely accepted as a blanket term for the industry.

What is are the Game, Proto, Wave & Food-y TOWER(s)? To fully eXtend Reality in a current collaboration space, Sindy augments the room by rolling cabinets into each of the 4 corners of the room. Inside each of the Towers are the tools necessary to engage with all of the elements found in the physical world. See each of the cutting edge cabinets and what goes in each of them to make your collab space special.

What is Sindy’s SPHERICAL PROJECTOR? It is a beautiful where a clear, round ~1meter ball is hung from the center of any conference room and emits images on all 4 walls, ceiling and floor as well as infrared in order to map the room and immerse the players like a combination of KINECT and Room Scale VR.

What makes a room XR? This is a conference, classroom or dining space that has been infused with a user interface that includes an iPad, your WEARABLES, a 360 degree camera and interactive “touch” walls made smart through a series of projectors and infrared cameras or touch screen TVs and LiDAR scanning. When the room is outfitted with each of these elements we prioritize eye contact, the highest form of collaboration which subsequently enables teammates to choose how to engage along the SPECTRUM of ENGAGEMENT.

What is the SPECTRUM of ENGAGEMENT? Many peer reviewed studies have led us to incorporate the engagement spectrum as fact. Since we all began carrying a phone in our pocket to every meeting, society has had to confront the new truth about the other people at the table: they are not as engaged in what you are talking about because of this distraction.

What are the GENRE of CollabRation? We define six macro genre of team play which correlate your work/life with your personality type: REAL, as in estate like architecture, interior design or urban planning; FOOD, as in opening a new restaurant, or family dinner; LIVE, as in a music tour, theater production or church youth group meeting; SELL, as in building a Brand, a new product or a business; LENSED, as in a film, episodic web series or TV commercial and finally  PUBS, as in curating a YouTube Channel, publishing a magazine or writing a manual.    

What are the STAGES of CollabRation? We define the five phases of collabRation as BRAINSTORMING, DEVELOPING, ALIGNING, IMPROVING and MAKE(ing).  Each Stage comes with a built in set of games in the Check Yo Self app intended to meetup with your team wherever they are in the CUBE project journey. Our intention is that these phases are not linear and that TEAMs can jump around within their PROCESS but that they are strings of time that, when defined and codified for the TEAM, are exponentially helpful.

What does Sindy stand for? It is an acronym for SEAMLESS INTEGRATED DYNAMICS as our platform strives to take all of the Dynamics you and your team

How did you come up with CollabRjabbR? Our founder has been collaborating in the Film and Theater world for twenty years as well as teaching those art forms. Our team wanted to try and use cutting edge technology to see if we could enhance teamwork in creative processes in a similar way that we encourage success on sports teams: hard work, thoughtfulness and gear.
