Skip the Room Signs
Installing room signs throughout an organization takes money, time and infrastructure. With our Choros AR space booking platform, you get all the functionality of a room sign without having to buy hardware or worry about how to provide power and network to shared spaces.
Simply set up your spaces in our cloud-based platform, then place QR codes near meeting rooms, desks and other shared places to let people quickly scan to book. Choros overlays options in the camera view using native AR support for smartphone cameras, so you don’t have to coax employees to download any apps or install any software.
Because Choros uses AR tech, space booking is faster than in any software system. It also gives users an immersive experience using a contactless solution. And because there are no room signs or cabling, it saves you significant screen and installation costs, and supports sustainability efforts.

Doesn’t Visix Sell Room Signs?
Yes, but we think AR is the future of interacting with shared spaces. It’s a more user-friendly, cost-effective and sustainable approach that can easily be extended to all the shared spaces your organization would like to make bookable. However, if you’d like to combine Choros with room signs in your facility, we’re happy to walk through options with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of spaces can I book in Choros?
You can set up as many spaces as you like in one of three categories: meeting rooms, workspaces and “other”, along with their location and amenities information. There’s no limit to the number or type of spaces you can add to the system, so consider every space that might need reservations – collab areas, huddle spaces, parking spaces, personal lockers, bike racks, etc.
Can I use my own calendar?
Yes. Choros integrates seamlessly with Office 365 right now, so reservations made using Choros are instantly shared with Office 365 and vice versa. This keeps everyone up-to-date and avoids double bookings and confusion. We’ll be adding other calendar integrations to our space booking solution soon.
How much training does Choros require?
Choros is so easy to use, your employees won’t need any formal training. Once they scan a QR code, the onscreen prompts will walk them through the space booking process in just seconds. Setting up your spaces in the cloud-based dashboard is just as intuitive.
What do users have to download?
Nothing. This is a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) solution, so people use their own phones to scan and book rooms. There’s no app to download, so users don’t have to worry about compromising their phone’s security or adding bloatware they don’t want. There’s also no password to remember since they don’t have to log in to an online portal or calendar system. All of this speeds up booking and simplifies user adoption.
What do I get when I purchase Choros?
There’s a base cloud subscription for hosting the server application where you configure and manage your spaces, users and calendar integrations. You then pay a small subscription license for each space you add. Because the platform is hosted, there’s no monitoring or maintenance burden on your team. We’ll take care of all of that.
How do I get the QR codes for my spaces?
Our server application will produce a unique QR code for each of your spaces when you configure them. You can display that QR code at the space by printing it on paper or stickers, incorporating it into room placards or showing it on small epaper signs.
How does AR work?
AR stands for Augmented Reality, which is a technology that overlays digital information like images, videos and 3D models onto the real-world environment. It uses a device’s camera and sensors (usually a smartphone or tablet) to track the user’s position and orientation in the physical world. It then superimposes digital content onto the user’s view of the real world. Choros uses WebAR to overlay space booking options over a user’s camera view of your own facility, giving them a more immersive experience.
Why is it called Choros?
Choros means “dance” in Greek. In Ancient Greek, it also meant the enclosed space where a dance took place. People coming together for a collective performance gives us the word “chorus”. We chose the name Choros (pronounced kōrōs) because we believe that the value of any space is tied to the experience inside it. Let us help you optimize your experience.
