This is visible to all of us that the world is suffering from many crises which were mainly caused by human acts. Frankly, come to think about it, the core cause is human mass consumption; we have been exploiting natural resources to serve our daily activities. Organizations in the world already started to have more concerns on protecting the environment, and one of the practices is telecommuting. Though telecommuting brings benefits to employers, employees, the economy and even the environment in many ways, it has the biggest disadvantage which is low interaction with fellow workers as well as “out of sight, out of mind ” and this is a great concern of every employer toward telecommuting. The author has an idea that would use virtual reality (VR) technology to create a real virtual office to eliminate the mentioned disadvantage of telecommuting. The author sees virtual-reality office as the first step to integrate VR into our system which will be beneficial to many kinds of businesses. This research is done by using traditional quantitative research method; and the goal is to explain why we should take VR more serious in order to improve the existing world system
