augmented-reality applications.\u00a0 And those solutions apply both to our current isolation, and the ways things may change, after the pandemic ends.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of our initial

people immersive technologies were facilitating interaction during quarantine.\u00a0\u00a0 These areas included creative collaboration, effective distance education, and a re-imagining of social events.<\/p>\n<p>In her<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/covid-catalyst-transformation-michelle-excell\/\"> LinkedIn article, &#8220;COVID As a Catalyst for Transformation&#8221;,<\/a>
