Why

• Align community around clear MVP and post-MVP scope for the VR Office project
• Anchor success metrics to reduce remote-work productivity paranoia without surveillance
• Provide transparent progress tracking for open source contributors

How (Implementation sketch)

1. Document Core Vision (/vr-office/README.md)

   • Problem statement: Employer paranoia about remote work productivity
   • Solution: VR office with presence, proximity chat, screen sharing (no surveillance)
   • Target users: Remote teams (4-16 people), engineering/design/product
   • Key differentiator: Privacy-first (aggregates only, no content capture)

2. MVP Scope Definition (/vr-office/docs/mvp-scope.md)

   • Multi-user VR office (Unity + OpenXR + XRI)
   • Proximity voice with distance falloff (Agora or Photon Voice)
   • In-VR screen sharing to desk monitors (Agora Video)
   • Presence signals (Available/Focus/DND)
   • Admin dashboard (Next.js + Supabase) with aggregate metrics
   • Auth (Auth0/OIDC)

3. Non-Goals (document explicitly)

   • Content surveillance (no keystroke logging, no screenshot capture)
   • Mobile VR (Quest standalone - PCVR only for MVP)
   • More than 16 concurrent users per room
   • Video calls separate from screen share
   • Real-time collaboration tools (whiteboards, 3D models)

4. Architecture Diagram (/vr-office/docs/architecture.md)

   • Create system diagram showing:
     • Unity Client (VR) ↔ Photon PUN 2 (rooms/sync)
     • Unity Client ↔ Agora (voice + video)
     • Unity Client → Backend API (presence heartbeat)
     • Backend API ↔ Supabase (Postgres)
     • Web Admin ← Backend API
   • Include data flow for privacy-sensitive operations

5. Milestone Roadmap (/vr-office/docs/roadmap.md)

   • 0.1.0 Bootstrapping & Community (repo setup, CI, docs)
   • 0.2.0 Core Multiuser VR (networking, avatars, scene)
   • 0.3.0 Voice + Screen Share (Agora integration)
   • 0.4.0 Presence & Admin (metrics dashboard)
   • 0.5.0 Hardening & Release (security, deploy, tests)
   • 0.6.0 Fusion Migration (optional, tech debt)

6. Success Metrics (/vr-office/docs/success-metrics.md)

   • 10-person room ≥72 FPS with 2×720p video streams
   • Voice intelligible at 64 kbps with <16m falloff
   • Screen share start → first frame ≤2 seconds
   • Admin dashboard shows real-time presence + aggregates
   • Zero content capture or surveillance features

7. Risk Register (/vr-office/docs/risks.md)

   • Photon PUN 2 is LTS/maintenance (mitigation: Fusion path in 0.6.0)
   • Multiple SDK dependencies (mitigation: keep interfaces thin)
   • Headset fragmentation (mitigation: OpenXR + test matrix)
   • Privacy compliance (mitigation: privacy-by-default + legal review)

8. Weekly Progress Updates

   • Update this tracking issue with milestone checkboxes
   • Link completed issues in each milestone
   • Highlight blockers and risks

Definition of Done

• VR Office roadmap document committed (/vr-office/README.md)
• MVP scope clearly defined with non-goals
• Architecture diagram created and committed
• All 7 milestones exist in GitHub with issues assigned
• Success metrics documented and measurable
• Risk register created with mitigations
• This issue pinned for visibility
• Weekly progress updates posted (ongoing)

Acceptance Criteria

1. Clarity: Any contributor can read README and understand the product in <5 minutes
2. Completeness: All milestones have issues; total scope is 80-100 issues
3. Measurability: Success metrics are quantifiable (FPS, latency, time-to-frame)
4. Transparency: Progress visible via milestone completion % and this tracking issue
5. Risk awareness: Top 5 risks documented with clear mitigation strategies

Technical Notes

• Keep all planning docs in /vr-office/docs/ for easy discovery
• Use GitHub Projects board for visual Kanban (optional)
• Link to this tracking issue from all major docs
• Update milestone checkboxes weekly (automation via GitHub Actions optional)
