DescriptionThe COVID pandemic has finally driven many organisations to embrace remote work, but while we are currently taking advantage of this shift, many still miss "real" human interactions: the body language, the corridor conversations, the serendipitous interactions. Can XR help to inject these things into our remote offices and conferences? Where is immersive technology best placed to make the biggest impact, and how can we boost adoption? We want to explore the future of meetings from the perspective of XR practitioners alongside those with recent online conference experiences, and share ideas on whether extended reality can help us meet better.
