As the fourth wave of COVID-19 surged and social distancing in the Seoul metropolitan area was raised to level 4, ‘stay-at-home life’ such as online classes and remote work resumed across education and industry. In the With-Corona era, the non-face-to-face environment is not temporary but has become a new lifestyle that will change our daily lives. Here, we introduce three IT devices that create the perfect ‘home office’ to help ‘pro remote workers’ focus more efficiently on their tasks.

One of the biggest challenges for office workers working remotely is non-face-to-face communication. While face-to-face meetings allow precise communication of the intended message, many people find it difficult to communicate effectively in non-face-to-face meetings because explanations are limited to simple materials and text in a digital environment.

When sharing prepared materials during real-time video meetings, it is common to highlight specific parts of the materials. In such cases, using the Wacom One makes digital note-taking much easier. The Wacom One is a pen display tablet that allows you to draw or write directly on the screen with a pen, creating an intuitive working environment as if you were working on paper with a pen. It helps beginners, office workers, and general users start working easily, even if it is their first time using a tablet.

Especially during remote work, the Wacom One is useful for communication with supervisors or colleagues. For example, planners can directly mark corrections on image drafts, or designers can share rough sketches of ideas, making it highly versatile across various fields. Using the Wacom One enhances convenience during remote work by allowing you to share your thoughts and ideas without limitation, just like writing on paper with a pen in a digital environment.
