When you and I meet in a coffee shop to chat over a cup of coffee, I think of you as “here”. But if you pick up the phone and call me, I think of you as “there”.
A Zoom call falls into the latter category. Everyone else on the call is “there”. The difference between someone being “here” and someone being “there” is very profound and intuitive.
Will technology ever advance for the point where someone who is far away feels like they are “here”? That question, in a nutshell, describes much of the research that my colleagues and I are working on.
When we get there, I will definitely let you know here. 🙂
