Mixed reality technology is not only revolutionizing the way we connect and work, but also the way we interact with the environment. This session will explore the many ways mixed reality can help to decrease environmental impact, including reducing travel-related emissions, promoting virtual product demonstrations and testing, reducing reliance on paper, enabling virtual events and conferences, enhancing energy efficiency, and increasing sustainability education. Attendees will learn how mixed reality can bring people closer together in more meaningful and authentic ways, while also reducing the negative impact of digital communication on the environment. Through interactive discussions and a focus on technological accountability, attendees will leave with a better understanding of how mixed reality can improve social bonds, reduce waste, and promote sustainable practices. Whether you are interested in technology, sustainability, or just want to learn about the future of human interaction, this session is for you.
