    Can holography help to combat climate change?

    Covid has made business travels almost completely come to a halt. At the same, zoom, teams and other platforms reduce trust and creativity, which in turn decreases the quality of working together. Can holography and virtual reality help to regain trust and creativity and simultaneously avoid contributing to climate change by reducing the number of business trips to a large extent?

    Interested?
